Judge releases contractor who sold fake IDs
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- A 22-year-old man suspected of selling U.S. Army identification cards to nonmilitary personnel was arrested on federal charges and released pending a future court date, the U.S. Marshals Service said Friday.
The ID cards for several military installations could give the holder access to military bases around the world. Yusuf Kahlil Jackson turned himself in to federal authorities Wednesday after he saw a television report identifying him as a wanted suspect, said Kevin B. Connolly, a supervisory inspector with the U.S. Marshals. Jackson appeared in U.S. District Court Thursday and was released on bond pending a later court date.
Jackson was working as a civilian contract employee in the military ID office at Fort Myer and produced the fake IDs between April and October of 2004. WJLA-TV first reported that Jackson was wanted for making and selling about 30 fraudulent ID cards to local residents and foreign nationals.
The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division at Fort Belvoir, Va., filed a criminal complaint against Jackson for "knowingly and without lawful authority producing identification documents and false identification documents."
The investigation began in October when an Alexandria man with no military affiliation was found with an ID that listed him as a "cadet." The man paid Jackson $25 and a small amount of marijuana for the ID, according to charging documents. The man told investigators he wanted the ID to get into area clubs and bars.
Connolly said the U.S. Marshals had the arrest warrant for less than six hours before Jackson called to surrender.
Mr Jackson (anyone want to guess his religion?) is being squeezed very, very hard. When that process is exhausted, then he should be shot.
Well, it's nice to know that this judge isn't worried about national security. What in the world could he be thinking?
Well, they found a Pakistani National with one of the cards.
Jackson also had a lengthy criminal history including identity theft.

Great, where was that guy nabbed at?
Military ID's aren't merely photos and a laminated cards these days. The new "CAC" contains a biometric chip, prints, photo, and can be used to swipe your way past access points.
I wonder how much capability Jackson introduced into these "ID cards".
I don't think a picture of his face is neccessary. His name gives us the picture of all we need to know.
Yusuf is a tratior.
True, but if I happen to see him on the street or on base here in VA, I would like to know who he is.........
Another example of liberal judges turning loose someone who should be behind bars or shot.
This is when he was still wanted. Unbelievable that he's free to roam about. I-Team: Alleged Fake Military ID Maker

It's nice to know the the Paki was using a fake ID that had the info of a soldier serving overseas. /sarcasm.
< sarcasm> Why is everyone so upset? It is not as if thousands of guys like this aren't flooding across the border every day. No one is doing anything about the border so why worry about some little non-issue like this? Don't worry, be happy. < /sarcasm>
Thanks that helps......
I tell ya', some of these chaps are ok.
Why some are even working in the defense industry or trying to help themselves to "benefits".
