| Leave a Message for the SEALs! One of three Navy SEALs facing a court martial announced at a rally Saturday that he has passed a polygraph test, casting doubt on the Pentagon’s case against him. Case against 3 SEALs weakens Cracks are beginning to appear in the military's prosecution of three Navy SEALs accused of striking a most-wanted terrorism suspect they had captured in Iraq. Navy SEALs Defended on 'Glenn Beck' Show Filling in for Glenn Beck, Judge Andrew Napolitano could never have done a better job. Simply put, Thursday night’s “Glenn Beck Show” was outstanding!
"It sends a horrible message to us as operators that have to go out, of course every single night and take care of things in the dark. It sends a bad message that you have to worry about potentially your actions on the objective and having to face prosecution for doing your job basically its just an uneasy and horrible message it sends to us and the message it sends to the terrorist as well" - Scott Taylor, Candidate for VA Congress
"The nation is at war, You know, punching occurs in war. Shooting also occurs in war. Instead of a court-martial, the SEALs should be dispatched to go and capture another terrorist. But that's not happening. They are going to be court-martialed because some terrorist supposedly got a bruised mouth. We should be celebrating this achievement, and these Navy SEALs should be getting medals for their work doing what we've asked them to do. But that's not what is happening." - Rep. Ted Poe
"I think that is insane. What kind of a message are we sending to our troops in the field when they do their duty, risk their lives, capture a terrorist that's wanted, one of the top 10 terrorists, and we're going to court-martial them? I don't care if they broke the guy's nose or broke both his arms and his legs. This is insane." - Rep. Dan Burton
"What we have seen too much in the military in recent years, it’s become very political. Well if it is to be political, than we need make sure the message goes to the White House, to all of those who have an effect on the Commander in Chief, to make sure the commander of these brave heroes treats them appropriately." - Rep. Louie Gohmert
"We join with our fellow citizens today in demanding that this prosecution, that this court-martial be canceled, and that these Navy SEALS, these brave heroes of America who are putting their lives on the line for us, are treated fairly and being able to go back honorably and do their job. This prosecution clearly undermines the national security apparatus that is protecting us against terrorism, because there’s nothing more important in the security establishment… than the men and women who are out there on the front line. If they are to have faith that they can get their job done, they have to have faith that we will back them up.” - Rep. Dana Rohrabacher
A Message from Patrick Robinson
“The prosecution of the SEALs sends a terrible message to the young men and women across our nation thinking about serving our country, that we would second guess them of their performance of their duties … I believe the charges should not have been brought and they should be dismissed, and that the whole incident is an outrage. Rather than being charged these young men ought to be thanked.” - Rep. John Shadegg
“Not only does this send the wrong message to our Special Operations Forces but it will diminish their ability to do their job for the United States and the world. My colleagues and I, all members of the House Intelligence Committee, are asking Secretary Gates to review this matter and reconsider court-martial proceedings. These men face the enemies of the United States and bring these terrorists to justice for the good of the nation. We owe them a debt of gratitude, not a criminal proceeding.” - Rep. Mike Rogers
“It’s just so absurd. I mean, they split his lip. In a boxing situation, that’s legal. We believe that prosecution of these men is not warranted. As we understand it, there was no allegation of torture or sustained abuse. There was simply just this one alleged act, prosecuting individuals for such a limited act seems to us to be an overreaction by the command.” - Rep. Duncan Hunter
"Rather than a trial, we should be giving these guys a medal. I am
pleased that these men will have the opportunity to defend their honor
and confident that justice will be served. At the same time, we must
not waste the time and resources of our Armed Forces on kangaroo
courts that are based on the hearsay of terrorists and other people
who wish our country harm. " - Rep. John Boozman
“It appears from all accounts that these SEALs are exceptional
sailors, demonstrated by the fact that each had recently been advanced
in rank, They captured a terrorist who had planned an attack that not
only killed Americans but also maimed and mutilated their bodies.” - Rep. John Ensign
