Nothing like undermining the people that protect our freedom.

If Ahmed Hashim Abed was protected by the Constitution as a sovereign citizen of the US then he would have valid argument. However, obviously he is not. Still, given the fact that the assault happened on foreign soil, then the act should be tried by the law of the land in question; there, it would be Islamic religious law. Regardless, law of the land always holds that murder is an offense punishable by death. The fact that the Seamen in question assaulted and not killed shows there disrespect for the law of the land and hints at their ill intentions. The only true hope they have to escape what is their rightful punishment that they would accept if they were gentlemen is that as military members they have enslaved themselves to a master and as such the master would be responsible for their crime. Now do you see why the government would try the Seamen? Sacrificial lamb anyone?

All constructive replies and responses wanted.
Thanks

First of all Rob, they were Seals not seaman. In the Navy a seaman refers to a rank, a Seaman is an E-3 in the Navy and if I am not mistaken, they were all above the rank of E-3 at least Petty Officers. People like you are quick to belive the word of a scumbag before the word of 3 heros. There is no proof what so ever that they did this. For all we know he could have did it himself just to spite. It wold have been better to kill this man and say they were in a gun fight with him. There would have been no way to prove otherwise. It would have been what he deserves. If we went by the law of the land then the military would be required to participate in stoning. Which under islamic law is the law of the land.
I have to be honest, if I was one of the seals this man would never have been seen again. These men should be given medals for bringing in this scumbag in one peice not tried for a fat lip.

This is the virus of political correctness infecting even the military.
