Idema, described in media reports as an ex-special forces operative known as "Jack," first appeared in Afghanistan (news - web sites) in late 2001, when U.S. and allied Afghan forces routed the Taliban.

He featured prominently in a top-selling book, "The Hunt for Bin Laden," which says he fought for 10 months alongside the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance.

Yeah. These are the kinds of shoe-scrape we'd have all over the Middle East if that idiot Ron Paul's plan of chasing bin Laden with Letters of Marque and Reprisal hadn't been laughed out of Congress.

Kindly note Criminal Number 18F's report on Mr. Idema. It seems that he's done hard time in the States.
