I imagine the only information making it out comes from either Lakin or Hemenway. If the Army took his bldg pass and his computer, I don’t think they are going to ignore this. We just won’t know what they are going to do until they do it. Plus, the Army diddled around when the Muslim nutbar was giving indications that should have had him picked up. They are going to be looking for a scapegoat to punish. Plus, Obama needs to keep the birther movement alive for a while. All of this works out to mean bad for Lakin.

I'm not so sure about that. Remember who's in charge: General Casey, who cherishes diversity over the lives of  his troops.

Plus, Obama needs to keep the birther movement alive for a while.

Absolutely. Anyone doing a dance of joy thinking this is going to bring Obama down underestimates the overwhelming disdain the left has for the military, and the golden opportunity it presents to portray both the men and women of the military, and the right, as buffoons. It's no coincidence that the first news outlets jumping on this are MSNBC and TPM -- it's right up their alley, and I'm sure ever-irresponsible WND will oblige the left by stoking the fire.

All of this works out to mean bad for Lakin.

I really could care less about Lakin at this point. He's put himself in a no-win situation, and he and Hemenway could do a lot of harm in the process.
