http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/art … gD9F7DQH80A U.S. sailor testified Wednesday he saw a Navy SEAL punch an Iraqi prisoner suspected of masterminding the killings in 2004 of four U.S. private security contractors, as the court-martial of another member of the elite unit allegedly involved in the incident opened at a military base outside Baghdad.
Abed was arrested last September on charges of orchestrating the grisly killings of four Blackwater security contractors whose burned corpses were dragged through the Iraqi city of Fallujah west of Baghdad. Two of the guards' bodies were hung from a bridge over the Euphrates River in the insurgent attack.

He testified he was sitting in a chair with his hands bound behind him – a hood over his head – when he was hit from behind on the shoulder and back and fell to his knees and was then picked back up and struck in the stomach.
So do you think the Seals will be convicted?
