| 2009-12-14 |
| This is a pdf file of a letter signed by 40 members of Congress to Major General Charles Cleveland, Commander of Special Operations Command Central, asking for all charges against the SEALs to be dropped. Copies of the letter were sent to the President, Defense Secretary Gates, and Admiral Mullin, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. |
