An Army Islamic chaplain, who counseled al Qaeda prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, naval base, has been charged with espionage, aiding the enemy and spying, The Washington Times has learned.

Capt. James J. Yee, a 1990 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., was arrested earlier this month by the FBI in Jacksonville, Fla., as he arrived on a military charter flight from Guantanamo, according to a law-enforcement source.

Hey, isn't Islam The Religion Of Peace? I'm shocked, shocked, and shocked a Muslim chaplain turned out to be an enemy spy! ;-) He must have been working for peace and universal brotherhood when he betrayed our country to its enemies.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Who hired this foreign agent and recommended he be given access to his friends at Guantanamo? And who are the others? There's got to be collaborators.

"He studied Islam at West Point and converted to Islam and left the Army in the mid-1990s. He moved to Syria, where he underwent further religious training in traditional Islamic beliefs. He returned to the United States and re-entered the Army as an Islamic chaplain."

This sounds like a plot of many years making. He may have been engaging in espionage long before Guantanamo.

Why is the max life? Why isn't it death?

I agree with you about Tommy Chong.

Free Chong. Kill Yee.

This should not surprise anyone who has been listening and thinking and reading what Muslims say to each other -- and what they say to us.

Islam is not like other religions. Muslims simply cannot be treated the same way because they refuse to act the same way.

What that means is that Muslims cannot be trusted as loyal Americans simply because they are NOT loyal Americans. Their allegiance is not to their country. This proves it.

If they can turn a West Point graduate into a traitor, they are too dangerous to be allowed to remain in our nation's armed forces.

The Islamic Chaplain's Corps needs to be disbanded. Muslims on active duty in the United States Armed Forces should be honorably discharged. No exceptions.

"highest levels" of government made the decision to arrest Capt. Yee, who had been kept under surveillance for some time

No doubt W is seriously PO'd. And the Army is embarrassed/angry for sure. BAD career move on traitor Yee's part.

Well, they took time to build a caseload of evidence. Hopefully this will be prosecuted to the full extent under the UCMJ.

What the hell did "the Army" expect???

Oh, yeah: "If we just show these people a little kindness and understanding, they'll come around to our way of thinking."

When will Western "Liberals" and their dupes begin to realize that THESE PEOPLE WANT TO KILL US; THEY HAVE DECLARED WAR ON THE UNITED STATES AND ATTACKED US!???

The problem is based in nomenclature. We keep referring to Islam as a religion when it is truly a cult. There is a difference.

It seems so obvious and yet how many of them are on the security posts at airports?

On the police forces?

Invited to immigrate to America?

It's disgusting. It's obsene. Our government is totally complicit in the coming disasters.

They are all traitors who took oaths to defend the constitution against all threats foreign and domestic.

Hmm...West Point grad. Wonder if he graduated first in his class? (And did he join the Kosovo campaign, maybe as a mujahadin?)

Another Jihadist in the Army? At least this one wasn't in the field where he could be rolling grenades into occupied tents.
