VIA<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Back in August [2013], I told you that\u00a0Extortion 17<\/a>, the downing of a Chinook helicopter with members of SEAL team 6 onboard (those that allegedly carried out the raid on Osama bin Laden), could be Barack Obama\u2019s biggest scandal and one of his administration\u2019s biggest acts of treason. That report came after an\u00a0interview<\/a>\u00a0I conducted with Billy Vaughn, father of slain Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn, who told Freedom Outpost that he wanted answers and those who were responsible for his son\u2019s death to be held accountable. Now, many of the families believe that the incident, which has been deemed the largest loss of life in the Afghan war theater (38 deaths, including nearly two dozen Navy SEALs), was an inside job.<\/p>\n

The Washington Times\u00a0reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The investigative file made available to The Washington Times shows that the helicopter\u2019s landing zone was not properly vetted for threats nor protected by gunships, while commanders criticized the mission as too rushed and the conventional Chinook chopper as ill-suited for a dangerous troop infiltration.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Larry Klayman, who runs the nonprofit watchdog group\u00a0Freedom Watch, has filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the\u00a0Pentagon, as well as the\u00a0Air Force, Army and Navy. He wants a judge to order the military to turn over an array of documents under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. He said the\u00a0Defense Department\u00a0stonewalled his written requests, so\u00a0Freedom Watch\u00a0went to court last month and succeeded in forcing the\u00a0government\u00a0to turn over records.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the first time,\u00a0Mr. Klayman\u00a0allowed The Washington Times to view the military\u2019s investigative files turned over to family members two years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe families of our fallen heroes, who I am proud to represent, need closure to this tragedy,\u201d\u00a0Mr. Klayman\u00a0said. \u201cThere are many unanswered questions and the military\u2019s explanations of the causes of the crash do not add up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He said families also want changes to the military\u2019s restrictive rules of engagement that made it more difficult for U.S. helicopter pilots to fire back at the\u00a0Taliban\u00a0fighters they believed brought down the Chinook.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe families also want our military\u2019s rules of engagement to be changed, as a testament to and in honor of their dead sons,\u201d\u00a0Mr. Klayman\u00a0said. \u201cWhen our nation enters into battle, it must be to win the battle, not the \u2018hearts and minds\u2019 of the Islamic jihadist enemy and the Muslim civilian population it uses as human shields.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He also wants to know the identities of Afghan soldiers onboard, and why the aircraft\u2019s black box, washed away in a fierce rainstorm, was never found \u2014 even though it has a homing device.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make sure our fallen heroes are respected and that answers are provided,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

About a possible insider betrayal, he says: \u201cWe\u2019re not saying that happened, but it needs to be explored because increasingly Americans are being killed at the hands of Afghans.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While many of the family members expressed sentiments very similar to those of Billy Vaughn during our interview, it isn\u2019t just the families of those lost that are questioning what happened. Many military personnel who were involved that night have questioned the operation afterwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the other things that we did talk about \u2014 kind of what you\u2019re hitting on, sir, is about the fact that, you know, for three hours we had been burning holes in the sky,\u201d the navigator aboard the AC-130 gunship that loitered for three hours over Tangi Valley. \u201cYou\u2019ve got [Apaches] flying around, so there\u2019s a lot of noise going on and, basically, this entire valley knows that there\u2019s something happening in this area. So, to do an infil on the X or Y, you know, having that element of surprise in the beginning of an operation is good, but by the time we\u2019ve been there for three hours, and the party\u2019s up, bringing in another aircraft like that, you know, may not be the most tactically sound decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the families believe their sons were betrayed by the Afghan government and that someone inside tipped off the Taliban. This would be right in line with the \u201cgreen on blue<\/a>\u201d attacks that have escalated in Afghanistan, resulting in the loss of many American lives.<\/p>\n

The families also believes that the SEALs took off in the wrong aircraft, something that Billy Vaughn pointed out during our interview. A special operations officers also confirmed to the Times this was the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this case, the CH-47 was used in a completely inappropriate manner given its design and the result was the deaths of everyone aboard,\u201d the officer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTier 1 personnel must be employed with careful planning,\u201d he added. \u201cThe cost and time to train them means that using them in such a haphazard manner as a reaction force in this context places critical personnel at too great a risk, especially in this concentration on such a noncritical mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both SEAL Team 6 and Army Delta Force are considered Tier 1 personnel.<\/p>\n

The report also shows a discrepancy between whether the Chinook had Apache escorts or not, or whether the escorts failed to properly scout the landing zone.<\/p>\n

Additionally, there is the question of why many of the soldiers were ordered to be cremated by the Army, including Charles Strange\u2019s son Michael, who obtained a copy of Michael\u2019s autopsy report and photographs of his body that showed no signs of fire damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with the body except for his ankle, but they claimed everybody was burned beyond recognition, yet there he was lying there whole and intact,\u201d Strange said. \u201cHis hair and arms weren\u2019t burned, and there was no sign of smoke in his lungs. When I called the command up and asked them about this they seem shocked that I had the photo. They told me \u2018we\u2019ll get back to you,\u2019 but they never did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did they cremate my boy? We are Christians and do not believe in cremation; there was no reason for them to do that,\u201d Strange said.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also that little issue that came up when 6 Navy SEALs\u2019 funerals\u00a0were conducted by a Muslim Cleric that condemned them to Hell during the service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver two years after Extortion 17 was shot down, the families still have these unanswered questions,\u201d\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0Klayman. \u201cAll of this raises the distinct possibility of a cover-up as to what really happened. We don\u2019t know what happened, and none of these answers are forthcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Qari Tahir was thought to be the top leader in the area, and his home was raided by Army Rangers on that night in an attempt to kill or kidnap him. Following the Extortion 17 crash, a month later NATO command in Kabul announced it had killed Tahir with a precise airstrike as he stood alongside a fellow terrorist.<\/p>\n

I must say that this has to be the clearest tying up of loose ends I\u2019ve seen. A SEAL team allegedly takes out the most wanted jihadist in the world (I still question that entire story line), then they get taken out by the Taliban, then the Taliban leader gets taken out.<\/p>\n

The most important question on my mind is, who in the Obama administration was involved? We know at least\u00a0Leon Panetta<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Joe Biden had loose lips<\/a>\u00a0when it came to keeping the SEAL team\u2019s identity classified. However, Obama and his administration have not been held accountable for one single crime they\u2019ve committed in his five years in office. Will Klayman and the families be the first to bring them to justice?<\/p>\n
