Army charges chaplain at Guantanamo Bay

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Muslim chaplain at the Guantanamo Bay prison for terrorism suspects has been charged with disobeying orders for improperly handling classified information, the military announced Friday.

Army Capt. James Yee, who also has used the name Yousef Yee, was charged with two counts of failing to obey a lawful order, U.S. Southern Command announced. He is charged with taking classified information home and wrongly transporting classified information.

Yee is one of three former workers at the high-security military base to be arrested in a probe of alleged espionage there. The charges against Yee are lesser than those against the others.

Authorities arrested Yee Sept. 10 as he arrived at a Jacksonville, Fla., naval base on a flight from the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba. Officials have said he was carrying classified information about the base with him when he was arrested.

Showing compassion for 'detainees'. The Guantanamo Gulag will forever stain our nation's legacy. What a shameful situatiuon!

so we are now evaluating just how many careers the good
Captain takes down with him... I am almost betting more
charges are coming, including even spying.

But they forgot conduct unbecoming, which goes in every time.

Hmm, Miller's career is over... who else will this take down?

By the way this is not an iddle question... this is why when
people say, but Clark has no political experience I laugh...
here is a good example.

If the case was that clear cut, they woudl prosecute... no questions
about it...

So stay tuned...

Ah service politics, best when served hot in the morning

So perhaps this is yet another case of much less than meets the eye.

I have still had no luck finding information about the candidates' positions on this issue.

This is acase of intimidating anyone who shows compassion to our "enemies".

They sent Yee in to do a job then arrested him when he did.

US tortured Camp X-ray suspects, says lawyer

"They are engaging in good old-fashioned torture, as people would have understood it in the Dark Ages," he said.
