Two Seal Courts-Martial Moved to Iraq

Two of the three Seals charged with abusing an Iraqi detainee will face court-martial in Iraq, not in Norfolk, as originally anticipated.  Today, a military judge granted defense motions to move the trials to Iraq where the alleged victim is being held and can be produced as a live witness instead of by deposition, the way the government wanted to produce him.  Two of the courts-martial will take place in April.  A third Seal is awaiting a hearing on Wednesday.
