I think he's an American anti-war operative... spying for the anti-war movement, trying to subvert the war effort...thinking that if he could help the enemy adequately, we'd begin losing and then pull out and stop the war.
He didn't believe in evil hence didn't know the islamites are satan's minions - and was brutally slaughtered (God rest his soul) for his naivety.
Just one poster's tin foil sparking up...
The fact the Father IMMEDIATELY painted him as pro-Bush, pro-war, etc. is weird too, especially since he himself was so anti-war.
