Paranoid?

I don't know what to think about this one. The anti-military crowd is downright gleeful about this, which always makes me look deeper into a story. Am I being paranoid by wondering if something stinks?

I would not believe anything I read in the foreign press (and domestic for that matter). I'd wait until the bodies are returned and a proper exam is done.

It's pretty hard to kill one SEAL via "heart attack" let alone two at once. Sounds like possible poisoning to me.

I hope the families get on top of this.

Most international recoveries have to be embalmed to transport. Effectively destroying all tissue born evidence...

Had a friend die on a cruse that originated in Italy. He lived in England. the Italians would not release the body until it had a formal embalming process and they gouged the estate big bucks to do it.

If it's true - won't be the first and, sadly, won't be the last.

RIP, warriors.
