The sniper also left active duty in 1994. He served in the reserve in 1995.

In the Mayfield family photos provided to the press from Kansas, Mona and their daughter are not wearing the Muslim head scarves. Yet they did in Portland. I contend they kept the depth and militance of their "faith" from their Kansas family. Brandon and Mona led a secret life through their Beaverton mosque.

From what I can tell now, Mayfield was working on behalf of Battle in 2002 to take his child away from his non-Muslim mother so it could be raised in an Islamic household by his uncle. Battle must have then been preparing to go to Afghanistan himself, so he couldn't raise the boy - unless the courts had already decided he was an unfit parent.
I'm sure Mayfield must have asked what Battle was up to at the time - why he didn't plan to raise his own son.
Battle was arrested the following year for travelling overseas with the purpose of joining al qaeda to fight against American forces in Afghanistan. He supported the Taliban ..... and I wonder if Mayfield also supports the Taliban and Sharia law. Let's ask his daughter, Sharia, if she has any clues.
