A Marine reservist accused of attacking a Greek Orthodox priest with a tire iron after apparently calling him a terrorist and a robber now says he was sexually attacked by the cleric, his defense attorney said Tuesday.
....
But the Tampa Police report offered a far different account, saying Marakis was lost when he followed Bruce into the garage and asked for help, then was struck with the tire iron and chased several blocks. When officers arrived, Bruce called Marakis a terrorist and said the priest had shouted "Allahu akbar!" - Arabic for "God is great."

It is REALLY difficult for me to imagine a Greek Orthodox priest shouting "Allahu akbar!" - Arabic for "God is great" under any circumstances... but I call in the experts.

I agree with you. This Marine should have exercised his right to remain silent, or at least given some thought to his story.
