[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Of course he's angry! I would expect that. Now if he (a) blames it on a video and jails someone innocent and (b) tells the parents lies about stand-down orders, we can talk. [/quote]

You don't think this is worth an investigation?

Here is some more of what the father had to say:

[quote]One aspect of the chain of events that nags at him is the fact that the president signed the order suspending the entry of immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Yemen, on Jan. 27 -- the day before the mission.

Owens wonders whether that affected friendly forces in Yemen who were assisting with the raid.

"It just doesn’t make any sense to do something to antagonize an ally when you’re going to conduct a mission in that country," he said. "Did we alienate some of the people working with them, translators or support people. Maybe they decided to release information to jeopardize the mission."

These are only some of the many questions that Owens believes should be thoroughly examined, including the possibility that the decision to move forward with the mission was motivated by politics.[/quote][/quote]
