At one time I would have found it hard to believe an article like that as well.
But today ? We have Generals getting fired for opposing opinions. We also had a General re-assigned early on for disagreeing in public with the President.
I dunno anymore..these are different times.
Come again? Generals are soldiers, and that means that they're hired not to formulate policy, but to carry it out. It doesn't matter if you're a lieutenant blabbing to the press about your battalion commander's ineptitude or a general disagreeing with the CINC in public - both are career-changing events.
Now, officers can of course contradict their superiors in private all they want. But going public with one's concerns completely destroys unity of command, and that endangers the mission.
He could have ordered them to capture him just as easy knowing he had no protection around him.
Then he could have sent him to Gitmo to await a trial.

Oh wait, we have forgotten about the 9-11 killers, do they not get a trial now? Since Obama has declared himself the judge and the jury. Since Obama and Holder screwed that entire NYC thing up we have not heard a peep out of them.
Maybe O'bama got "fast and furious" mixed up with this order to kill?
Lolz. Do you really think any president, democrat or republican, wouldn't want to take as much credit as possible for killing the man responsible for the worst attack on American soil? It's pretty pathetic how people resort to any means necessary to discredit someone because they don't agree with their policies. But hey two wrongs make a right huh?
I am very suspicious of this story, I highly doubt any of the seal team 6 would reveal their
identity to a gossip rag like the telegraph, or to anybody for that matter.
As for those that would rather believe this journalistic pablum than the word of their own President and staff? the wheels have well and truly come off the wagon and reality can now be made up on the fly..
They are in the military; they aren't supposed to just do whatever they feel like doing...they follow orders.
There were some folks who were in Nuremberg who thought the same thing, it didn't get them very far.
