An Army Islamic chaplain, who counseled al Qaeda prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, naval base, has been charged with espionage, aiding the enemy and spying, The Washington Times has learned.

Capt. James J. Yee, a 1990 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., was arrested earlier this month by the FBI in Jacksonville, Fla., as he arrived on a military charter flight from Guantanamo, according to a law-enforcement source.

Treasonous

Hey, that's a pretty good f.Christian impression!

[ovrtaxt]

We keep referring to Islam as a religion when it is truly a cult. There is a difference.

The church needs to get the revelation that Muslims are trapped in a dead philosophy of death worship, and they are as miserable and lost as any sinner. They are NOT truly satisfied spiritually, and they WILL respond to the Gospel.

The missionaries to Islam are almost nonexistent. We better wake up. That culture must be destroyed!

Capt. Yee, one of 17 Muslim chaplains, was the subject of a number of press articles on Islam.

Lets hope the Army is wathcing the other 16 like hawks.

Perhaps I'm giving the Army too much credit, but I suspect they had their eye on this clown for a while, used him to track down other treasonous cretins, and then arrested him.

As for the penalty, put him in a cell with the guy who just killed the pedophile priest in Boston.

I'm not real religious. I believe in God but I don't go to worship much. If a guy like me can see through this charade then I am sure that here are thousands who can see more clearly. The culture of Islam merits destruction in my opinion. They teach the wrong values to their kids. They treat their woman like livestock. They are fanatical killers of Jews, who have their own families. They want to destroy western civilization in any form.

Why we are so reluctant to erase them for the vermin that they are I cannot determine. I only know that we will before all is said and done. When it is done we can get back to the business of living.

You beat me to it.

This 'officer and gentleman' leaves the army, goes to Syria to take Islam 101, and returns to the US and reups?

Seems pretty obvious he was sent back home to infiltrate the services and collect information.

Also, what chaplain has access to sensitive information?

May well be he is only a part of a well developed cabal of traitorous Muslims in the military whose job is to spy on this country and perhaps do, who knows what else?

One can screen every passenger boarding a commercial airline for everything from AK 47's to genital crabs, yet leave ourselves totally vulnerable to attack from a Muslim in the military. Heck, we teach those people how to fly airplanes and blow things up.

Time to put any Muslim in the military under careful scrutiny and make sure they are not in positions where they have access to secret material or can sabotage key installations.

You never heard it from me, but a friend of my half-sister's boyfriend's cousin's pen pal's milkman's dog-walker's boss's mistress's hair-stylist's parakeet says that some members of the chaplain's corps are much more than just religious counselors, and are involved with a wide variety of intelligence activities, including those of non-military three-letter agencies.

Such personnel, if any exist, and you didn't hear anything from me, mind you, would often be privy to extremely rare combinations of otherwise sensitive compartmented information, and thus the compromise of said personnel could be of particularly grave and serious consequences to the security of the United States of America and its allies.

Not that I'm saying that's what's going one here, because maybe it's not, we don't know. But take a good look at the charges being discussed, and it's pretty damned obvious they want this guy well taken care of.

He'll be lucky if he only gets life out of this. Either way, he's going to be out of public view for a very long time, and starting very soon, from the looks of things. Secret military man meets secret military tribunal.

Sure, maybe he just passed along classified information that only came from interrogated prisoners at Guantanamo, and that would be very bad if he did, for sure. But this sort of proscutorial ferocity seems far more likely to be inspired by a possibly broader compromise than just the stuff the captured Al Qaeda leaders are telling us.

But like I said, you didn't hear anything from me, and I'm just speculating real loosely here, and maybe I should just keep my damn mouth shut.

The Pentagon will likely hold most of them until the war on terrorism is over.

So I guess they'll be letting them go Real Soon Now(tm). Yeah, like the war is going to end in a few months, years or generations to come.

It's such a cute thing for them to print, I just couldn't resist commenting on it.

[Long Cut]

I wonder what Douglas MaCarthur, Chesty Puller, George S. Patton, Theodore Roosevelt, or Admirals Halsey or Nimitz might have said about this, had they been in charge.

Let us hope this story doesn't fade from the news. I'd really like to know who is telling what to these Muslims, why they think they can take over the world, and why they'd want to.

What are the 5 pillars of Islam? Is one of them Jihad?

I must do research!

[jocon307]

OK, jihad is not a pillar. Live, research, and learn!

[BullDog108]

Here is an excellent list of MUST READ books to enlighten anyone on the "Religion of Peace"(tm):

>>Islam is not like other religions.

Worth saying again.

Since shortly after 9/11, after more study of what is going on and the history, I came to this conclusion:

We're dealing with an evil, totalitarian, dictatorial, murderous political system masquerading as a religion. It is simply not a "religion" as we, and most of the rest of the non-Muslim world, thinks of a "religion".

I really, really hope that Bush and crew don't really believe this "peaceful, friendly Muslims" line, and that it is used simply because, at the highest levels, there has been a conscious decision to use that line in order to not enrage large numbers of middle-of-the-road Islamics.

There are a large number of secular Muslims with whom we could coexist - but they must be very secular. And anyone who goes back to the roots becomes an enemy immediately. And regarding the secular Muslims, we can say, paradoxically, the only good Muslim is a bad Muslim.

Interesting information from the article:

Is he a second-generation Chinese? I am most disturbed by this Chinese connection.
He was raised in New Jersey.
Syrian wife.

I wonder how many more there are?

[Imal]

I'd like to know what kind of security clearances this guy had.

[FreedomPoster]

In particular, I'm trying to imagine the string of expletives that would issue forth from Patton were he confronted with this sitution. Likely with substantial historical context and informed analysis.

Pray tell...

[Long Cut]

Coupled, of course, with his drawing of an ivory-handled pistol and aiming it at the traitorous dog's skull. I believe T.R. would reach for the horsewhip. As for the rest, I don't know WHAT they'd reach for, but doubtless some profanity would come into play.

They'd also begin the rounding up and court-martial (for incompetence) any officers who supported this idiotic policy.

[Rome2000]

Yee sounds like Wussy Clarkes kind of officer.
