Unanswered Questions Plague SEAL Team 6 Losses - Lawsuit Claims Navy Used for White House Effort to 'Coddle Islamist Fundamentalists'

Bob Unruh * WND

Everyone knows about the U.S. military’s SEAL Team Six and its involvement in the Pakistan raid that left terror leader Osama bin Laden dead – heck, Hollywood made a movie about the members after the Obama administration reportedly dished out classified information to those working on the production.

But there are many, many questions that remain unanswered about the brave Navy SEAL team members who put on the boots and weaponry and defended America and how they may have been used as political pawns in a White House campaign to “reach out and coddle Islamist fundamentalists.”

There are hopes that some of those questions will be answered as part of new discussion that is being required because of a lawsuit on behalf of family members of several SEAL Team Six members who were killed in a helicopter shootdown in the Middle East.

The new case has been launched by FreedomWatch’s Larry Klayman, whose complaint is on behalf of several families of Navy SEAL Team members who died when their helicopter was shot down by Taliban jihadists on Aug. 6, 2011, in Afghanistan.

Those lost include the sons of Charles Strange, Doug and Shaune Hamburger, and Sidh Douangdara.

Defendants in the case are Vice President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who are accused of disclosing classified information about the team’s success in Pakistan and putting a “target on the backs” of the heroes and their families.

“Predictably, the Taliban retaliated by blasting the helicopter out of the air and killing all on board,” FreedomWatch said in its announcement about the case.

Also named as defendants are the Islamic Republican of Iran, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and Islamist Afghan President Hamid Karzai, “who is alleged to have tipped the Taliban off about the coordinates of the Extortion 17 operation, the helicopter that was blasted out of the sky carrying our nation’s heroes,” FreedomWatch said.

Klayman, who said reports have confirmed Iran pays a bounty of $1,000 to the Taliban for each American soldier killed, is a former U.S. Justice Department prosecutor and represents the families.
