#1 Maybe just lock'em up one at a time with Luttrell in a CONEX box for about 10-15 minutes for some wall-to-wall counceling from that SEAL. I suspect they'd get the cure. Just a thought.

#3 I was thinking about this guy last night, I hope the SEALS are organizing a non-lethal harrassment campaign against this guy. Every piece of glass of every car he ever owns ends up shattered, inexplicably, in the dark of night; the power inexplicably goes out wherever he sleeps; his outgoing mail just inexplicably disappears. That sort of thing can really have an effect on people, he might be tempted to turn that gun he's so eager to use on himself.

#4 I'm confused--according to MSNBC's story, Luttrell chased these guys down and 3 of them were arrested on the spot (well, actually about 100 miles from the spot where they shot his dog). Wonder where this apparently fourth idiot figures in?

#5 HUNTSVILLE, Texas A highly decorated Navy SEAL who found his beloved yellow Labrador retriever shot dead outside his home helped capture the alleged gunmen following a high-speed chase through three counties.

Marcus Luttrell stayed on the line with a 911 operator April 1 as he tried to catch the fleeing suspects during the 40-mile chase that reached speeds of over 100 mph.

I told them, You need to get somebody out here because if I catch them Im going to kill them, Luttrell said he told the operator, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Police stopped the suspects and charged two men with cruelty to a non-livestock animal. The driver of the vehicle was cited for not having a license.

There are at least five area dog killings in recent months that could be linked to the case, said Texas Ranger Steven Jeter.

Luttrell was awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism in 2006. He is the lone SEAL team member to survive a June 2005 firefight with the Taliban in Afghanistan and was given a dog to help him heal after he returned from the war.

When I saw she was dead, the only thing that popped into my head was, Ive got to take these guys out, Luttrell said.

#8 No, BP, we are lucky that the cops got them first. I would hate to see the headlines about a Navy Cross winner who was arrested for assault and possibly manslaughter.
Of course, if I were on the jury, not only would Mr Luttrell be acquitted, I would recommend that he be given another medal. Just call it jury nullification.
