Looks like Yee is going to get off with a serious slap on the hand.

Army Chaplain at Guantanamo Bay Charged

A former Muslim chaplain at the Guantanamo Bay prison for terrorism suspects has been charged with disobeying orders for improperly handling classified information, the military announced Friday.

Army Capt. James Yee, who also has used the name Yousef Yee, was charged with two counts of failing to obey a lawful order, U.S. Southern Command announced. He is charged with taking classified information home and wrongly transporting classified information.


Yee is one of three former workers at the high-security military base to be arrested in a probe of alleged espionage there. The charges against Yee are lesser than those against the others.


Authorities arrested Yee Sept. 10 as he arrived at a Jacksonville, Fla., naval base on a flight from the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba. Officials have said he was carrying classified information about the base with him when he was arrested.


He is being held at the Navy brig in Charleston, S.C.


"The Army continues to investigate Yee's conduct, and if warranted, additional charges could be forthcoming," Southern Command said in a statement.


Army Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, the commander of the Guantanamo Bay prison, will decide on the next step. Miller's options include dismissing the charges or convening a special court-martial, which could impose a penalty of up to a year in prison and a bad conduct discharge. Miller also could send the case to an Article 32 hearing, a kind of mini-trial in which prosecutors present evidence for commanders to decide whether to send the case to a general court-martial.

As you'll see on the other thread, that was my reaction too.

Maybe this means he's cooperating.

"disobeying orders for improperly handling classified information"

No espionage. Like it was an accident. Bill Clinton style. Oh where did this info come and, gee, why did Egyptians or Syrians end up with it?

[flamefront]

Maybe this means he's cooperating.

Maybe he pretending to cooperate.

See, The Gitmo Theater - Enemy inside the gates.

fwiw, admittance to WP is via political appointment. There is no real "background investigation" of 17 and 18 year old kids trying to get in.

Frankly, from what I have read about this traitor, it seems clear to me that the authorities had been watching him closely for quite a while.

What better place than Gitmo to assign folks you suspect of being traitors?

Maybe he's been pretending to be something he isn't.

Here's the result of affirmative action in the military. Spying isn't even a crime anymore (for special selected minorities).

[xzins]

Not necessarily.

This is the end of his career without a doubt.

It is also not the end of his ordeal. What they seem not to be able to prove is his intent for the documents he had.

But violating security provisions can lock someone up in jail for a while. If they ever can find an intent to spy, then they'll throw away the key.

Looks like Yee is going to get off with a serious slap on the hand.

Thats all that Chinese spies ever get now......!

Imagine the wolf in the steel trap.

Imagine the prisoner, returned to his cell, after the tunnel has been discovered.

Imagine the father, standing outside the court, as the child-killer smirks as he walks free.

Now you hear the howl of fury I make as I read these words.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh man, does this make me mad. A hand slap to a scum bag!!

he said, "psst hey talibani. its aight, allah will kill them all. Oh wait a guard, UH Yea, you were bad."

[Ophiucus]

Here's a completely un-PC idea: How about the military doing a WWII idea - not let muslims serve in areas that would bring them in contact with muslim enemy personnel, like the WWII American-Japanese not serving in the Pacific theater.

I know, as if that could happen in today's lefty, PC world but damn, you'd think someone would get a clue....

[Soaring Feather]

True,true.
