For a third time, a U.S. Navy SEAL has been acquitted of assault on a thug terrorist prisoner. From Fox News: "A Virginia military jury found a Navy SEAL not guilty Thursday on all charges he punched an Iraqi suspected in the 2004 killings of four U.S. contractors in Fallujah.
"I'm really happy right now," Matthew McCabe, the Navy SEAL, told Fox News shortly after hearing the outcome of the court martial. "It's an amazing feeling. I'm on cloud nine right now."
McCabe, a special operations petty officer second class, called the proceedings "troubling at times," adding "having your career on the line is not an easy thing to handle.
McCabe was the third and final Navy SEAL to be prosecuted in the case. He had faced charges of assault, making a false official statement and dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee. McCabe was accused of punching last year is Ahmed Hashim Abed, the suspected mastermind of the grisly killings six years ago." http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/06/navy-seal-guilty-assaulting-suspected-terrorist/
This is the third Navy SEAL to be acquitted of assaulted of this thug. I understand, you try and convict someone of the crime once. If you fail maybe try for a second time but why in the world would you try and convict a third time when you lost two previous court cases. Unless someone high up in the Navy and Obama administration wanted to make this Seal's life hell. The Obama administration wanted to make an example of these SEALs.
This was on the Obama watch and it shows his administration's utter contempt of the military.
