The Kitchen Cabinet WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN THE DOWNING OF "EXTORTION 17" WHICH KILLED 30 AMERICANS? CONGRESS WILL NOW FIND OUT. Congress is going to probe the lethal Aug. 6, 2011 helicopter crash in Afghanistan that took the lives of 22 Navy SEALS, three members of the U.S. Air Force, five Army National Guardsmen and Army Reserve crewmen, seven Afghan commandos and one Afghan interpreter. The attack happened 3 months after SEAL Team 6 had killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. A call for congressional investigation was made by family members of the fallen SEALs due to "suspicious" circumstances. ... "Their bodies were later recovered, but the helicopter’s black box was not. Pentagon officials have said that it could not be recovered, citing a flash flood that happened soon after the assault. All the bodies were cremated. The Pentagon has defended the cremation to the soldiers’ families, saying the bodies were badly burned." Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on National Security said, “The body I saw didn’t need to be cremated.” Then adding that the Department of Defense’s explanation of its failure to find the helicopter’s black box seems “awfully odd.” Whatever happened in "Afghanistan that night we hope will finally be revealed. We owe it to these 30 brave men and their families to finally get this right. More: thehill/homenews/house/313039-congress-to-probe-lethal-seal-crashSee More
