NBC: (muslim) Soldier accused of trying to aid al-Qaida
msnbc ^ | Feb. 12, 2004 | NBC News' Jim Miklaszewski and NBC News' justice correspondent Pete Williams

Posted on 02/12/2004 2:02:34 PM PST by miltonim

U.S. military and Justice Department officials tell NBC News that a U.S. Army National Guardsman was taken into custody Thursday at Fort Lewis, Wash., and charged with attempting to pass intelligence information to the al-Qaida terrorist network.

The officials said that Anderson was caught up in a sting operation conducted jointly by the Army, the Justice Department and the FBI. Anderson, however, is currently being held and charged only by the Army. Anderson is a Muslim, officials said.

It's really getting difficult to extend the benefit of the doubt to any of Mohammed's wayward children. The fact that Islam has it's greatest recruiting successes in prisons should tell us something.

Here's King5.com (local TV station) story:

SEATTLE - A member of the Washington National Guard’s 81st Armored Brigade has been taken into custody and charged with attempting to pass intelligence information to the Al-Qaida terrorist network.

According to an NBC news report, SPC. Ryan G. Anderson was arrested Thursday at Fort Lewis, Wash. The report, citing U.S. Military and Justice Department officials, said Anderson, a 26-year-old tank crew member, was caught during a joint sting operation and has been charged with “aiding the enemy by wrongfully attempting to communicate and give intelligence to the Al-Quida terrorist network."

Ryan graduated in 1995 from Cascade High School in Everett, Wash., and received a degree in military history with an emphasis on the Middle East from Washington State University in 2002. According to published reports, Anderson converted to the Muslim faith 5 years ago.

Anderson was interviewed by the Everett Herald newspaper last week during a ceremony to honor the 3,500 Washington National Guard soldiers who will be going to Iraq for at least a year. According to the newspaper, he felt the tour of duty would be an interesting experience.

Spc. Anderson, a 26-year-old tank crewmember from the Army's 81st National Guard Brigade, was among the 4,100 troops of the 81st Brigade on their way to Iraq for a one-year deployment. The face of the fifth column

Scary, isn't it? I wonder if there are more just biding their time, hiding out in our own military units like the cowards they are, that we haven't yet caught? And worse still, this guy represents the changing face of the Muslim fifth column. Just what lesson did they learn about Sep 11 that makes them - traitors?

I wonder what his fellow Guard troops are thinking now? I hope they'll be carefully screening any other muslims members.

Whatever. This time next month the guy will be facing a dishonorable discharge and some token bitching. The Army can't bring itself to punish its affirmative action recruits that get caught spying.

America can be hit. America can be hurt. Americans can be bamboozled by jihadi propaganda.

We can convert America to the Kingdom of Saudi America.

Laugh if you want.

I wish there was better background checks of Muslims in the US army.

CNN is now reporting that he attempted to communicate (doesn't say what he communicated) with al qaeda via al qaeda internet websites, but didn't know it was a sting operation.

Bret Baer said that Anderson is a tanker and he was trying to communicate "vulnerabilities of the equipment".

Every mosque in America should be bugged.

Can imagine the bad mouthing, cursing of America and Jews you would pick up? The calls to Jihad organizing & donations for armed Jihad ? Even a few plots. I would love to bug the head Imams (Mullahs) private office.
