Item by item:

1) "...fraternizing with the detainee’s daughter..."

Note that her father was only classified as a detainee, and that she was not considered a security risk.

2) ...illegally storing classified material..."

Difficult to figure out, since the classified material was not specified. My guess? Something trivial, like a telephone book, was found in her home. Yes, a telephone book is "classified material!"

3) ..."maintaining an inappropriate relationship with an interpreter..."

Well, now we know that this woman was an interpreter! Do we now have a security breach, and is her life now in danger?

4) ..."possessing pornographic videos"...

Some pictures or videos of his lover were found in her home or in his possession? Oh the horror!

5) ..."failing to obey an order"...

I am kinda lost on this one, since there are no details specified. Again, I suspect that his commanding officer simply got pissed about a private relationship.

Crank, whose MP unit replaced Steele's at Camp Cropper, testified he saw the defendant download about 20 CDs from a secure government laptop computer. He also said Steele later visited the jail and gave the detainee's daughter a box that contained computer programs and computer sheets.
