House Ethics Committee Drops Bomb on Charlie Rangel

A key member of Nancy Pelosi's 'most ethical congress ever' has been charged with multiple ethics violations. The exact nature of the charges hasn't been revealed. Stay tuned.

MSNBC reported:

A House investigative committee on Thursday charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics violations, a blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and an election-year headache for Democrats.

The committee did not immediately specify the charges against the Democrat, who has served in the House for some 40 years and is fourth in House seniority. The announcement by a four-member panel of the House ethics committee sends the case to a House trial, where a separate eight-member panel of Republicans and Democrats will decide whether the violations can be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

Navy Seals could face 1 year in jail for giving terrorist a fat lip

If you think this story is from The Onion, you would be wrong. Even satirists wouldn't make up a story this wrong. Three Navy Seals are facing charges for 'roughing up' a terrorist they were assigned to capture. The captive, Ahmed Hasim Abed, is the alleged mastermind of the mutilation and deaths of four Blackwater security guards in 2004 (see photo above). The terrorist allegedly had a fat lip. They could face up to a year of incarceration.

(CNSNews.com) – The Navy Seals facing court martial for the alleged abuse of a terror suspect arrested for killing four Americans face up to a year in military confinement, discharge for bad conduct, and forfeiture of two-thirds of their pay for a year, if convicted, according to defense attorneys.[...]

The three Navy Seals--Matthew McCabe, Jonathon Keefe, and Julio Huertas--will be arraigned on Monday in Norfolk, Va. They are facing a special court martial--which is equivalent to a misdemeanor charge--and have each denied the allegations of abuse and cover-up.

Update: By the way, inventing claims of abuse is in the Al Qaeda Handbook.
