Today was suppose to be a semi-light hearted column about the "turkeys" in the administration and their bumbling of everything from health care reform to troop deployment. It was until the news came out that requires, no, demands that I comment on.

From that news agency that some looney tunes think is not a real news agency:

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7. Another three SEALs — two officers and an enlisted sailor — have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged.

FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.

The SEAL told investigators he had showered after the mission, gone to the kitchen and then decided to look in on the detainee.

"I gave the detainee a glance over and then left," the SEAL wrote. "I did not notice anything wrong with the detainee and he appeared in good health."

Lt. Col. Holly Silkman, spokeswoman for the special operations component of U.S. Central Command, confirmed Tuesday to FoxNews.com that three SEALs have been charged in connection with the capture of a detainee. She said their court martial is scheduled for January.

United States Central Command declined to discuss the detainee, but a legal source told FoxNews.com that the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody. The SEAL leader reported the charge up the chain of command, and an investigation ensued.

The source said intelligence briefings provided to the SEALs stated that "Objective Amber" planned the 2004 Fallujah ambush, and "they had been tracking this guy for some time."

The Fallujah atrocity came to symbolize the brutality of the enemy in Iraq and the degree to which a homegrown insurgency was extending its grip over Iraq.

The four Blackwater agents were transporting supplies for a catering company when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned the bodies and dragged them through the city. They hanged two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph.

Intelligence sources identified Abed as the ringleader, but he had evaded capture until September.

The military is sensitive to charges of detainee abuse highlighted in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. The Navy charged four SEALs with abuse in 2004 in connection with detainee treatment.

Awwwwe. Did the big bad terrorist get himself a fat lip? Let's get together and throw him a big pitty party!

You talk about "Chicken Hawks" in the congress, well here's another "Chicken Terrorist." Plan the operation, have someone else do the dirty work and disable the victim and when it is safe, come in and kill the infidel, then being a BMOC (Big Man On Campus) kick the corpse, burn it and hang it from the bridge for the world to see.

These are the same ones who will talk someone else into strapping on a belt full of dynamite to get their 72 virgins, but would never dream of actually doing it themselves.

This correspondent knows more about the Navy SEALs than the average bear (How and why is not your concern.) and I can tell you from experience that if this had happened in the 70's,

WARNING WARNING WARNING INSENSITIVE REMARKS COMING

If this had happened in the 70's, this raghead would have wished that a bloody lip was the only thing he would have received and would have been praying to Allah thanking him for that bloody lip.

Don't get me wrong, the SEALs are the most professional and dedicated TEAM in the history of the world. They do their job (when allowed) and they do it right. They are in and out, mission complete before anyone knows it. They are simply the best.

G. Gordon Liddy once said that Muammar Gaddaffy Duck's biggest fear was waking up with four Navy SEALs surrounding his bed.

They are that good.

To even think of charging these men on the word of this camel jockey is a travesty in and of itself.

War is hell and political correctness will kill you quicker than any bomb or bullet.
