It's about time some congress persons get on this travesty taking place against our Navy Seals...


Yet.... I'll be honest with you... there should be 300 congressmen petitioning the Pentagon instead of only three...

Congressmen to Pentagon: Exonerate Navy SEALs in Iraq incident

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

* Three Navy SEALs accused of assaulting an Iraqi
* Iraqi suspected of orchestrating '04 killing, mutilation of four U.S. contractors
* Rep. Dana Rohrabacher: "These men should be given medals, not prosecuted"
* Congressmen say they have petitions signed by thousands supporting SEALs

Washington (CNN) -- A trio of congressional Republicans passionately appealed to the Pentagon on Thursday to drop charges against three Navy SEALs accused of assaulting an Iraqi suspected of orchestrating the 2004 killing and mutilation of four U.S. contractors.

Flanked by about a dozen retired Navy SEALs at a news conference near the Capitol, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-California; Rep. Dan Burton, R-Indiana; and Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, insisted that the U.S. is sending the wrong message to its troops.

"These Navy SEALs were apprehending a terrorist murderer, and they are being accused of roughing him up? Give me a break! These men should be given medals, not prosecuted. These men are heroes," Rohrabacher said.

Burton agreed, saying, "These people are laying their lives on the line every day, and they can't go into a combat situation with kid gloves on."

The congressmen said they plan to present to Pentagon officials petitions signed by thousands of people supporting the SEALs.....

... and why has it taken three months for these three to get on board?

I guess three is better than nothing... barely.
