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.

We really need to stop immigrating Islam and get to work on pacifying domestic muslims, by keeping fire-breathing foreign mullahs out of U.S. mosques.

Soldier Said Accused of Helping al-Qaida

SEATTLE - A National Guardsman stationed at Fort Lewis was arrested Thursday and charged by the Army with trying to provide information to the al-Qaida terrorist network, a federal law enforcement official said. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Spc. Ryan G. Anderson was charged with "aiding the enemy by wrongfully attempting to communicate and give intelligence to the al-Qaida terrorist network." It was not immediately known what information Anderson allegedly provided. Anderson was being held at Fort Lewis, an Army base near Tacoma. A message left with the Lt. Col. Stephen Barger at Fort Lewis was not immediately returned Thursday. Base spokesman Joe Hitt said he was not aware of the report, and messages left with Army officials at the Pentagon (news - web sites) were not immediately returned. Anderson, 26, is a tank crew member from the National Guard's 81st Armor Brigade, a 4,000-member unit set to depart for Iraq (news - web sites) for a one-year deployment. Washington State University spokeswoman Charleen Taylor said Anderson was a 2002 graduate with a degree in history. The brigade has been training at Fort Lewis since November. Eighty percent of the soldiers — 3,200 — are from Washington state, and 1,000 are from guard units in California and Minnesota. It includes two tank battalions, a mechanized infantry battalion, engineers, support troops, artillery and an intelligence company.

Jews were not attacking us.

Muslims are, and I think we have to be very careful in our dealings with them. I'm sure there are some who are loyal Americans, but there are obviously a disproportionate number who are not.

I told you it was the same guy:

Date of last military execution

On April 13, 1961, U.S. Army Private John A. Bennett was hanged after being convicted of rape and attempted murder.

Did you miss that this was a sting operation?

Could you elucidate a bit? I'm not sure exactly what point you are making, or if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me, or why in either case.

I am beginning to wonder about Washington State and the kooks who are here.

I wonder what ever became of these two. The teacher was from right here where I live.

Does people on the right killing abortion doctors make all christians evil?

What does being on the right have to do with being Christian? For that matter, what does killing an abortionist have to do with either being on the right or being a Christian? Due process of law is fundamental (as a principle) to being on the right and murder is forbidden in Christianity.

I have lived in a Muslim country. It is the Muslim religion itself that teaches violence against Christians.

My introduction to Islam was by Department of State briefings for people holding diplomatic passports. I was surprised to learn that all infidels are fair game for Muslims. Have you forgotten 9/11 ? That was an act of religious observance.

Your PC idealism simply doesn't comport with reality. There really are bad people in the world and there really are bad religions.
