Mr. McCauley,
Here is the info that appeared on our website regarding legal defense funds for the Navy SEALs.
In addition, we had a "Donate" button under his name in case the visitor wanted to donate directly and only to SO2 McCabe's client trust account. Though there was no request for donations in the text on the page. As I mentioned, the page was taken down after the trial earlier this month.

Three Navy SEALs face court-martial in the alleged stomach punch of an Iraqi detainee earlier this year. Two of the SEALs, SO2 McCabe and SO1 Huertas were arraigned in a military court on Monday, December 7, 2009. The other SEAL, SO2 Keefe, will be arraigned later. All are facing court-martial early next year. A second Defense Fund has been established by an independent organization.
