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.

No, the deadliest weapon is Political Correctness, if the subject is suicide.

Also, what chaplain has access to sensitive information?

This one did; it's hard to interrogate prisoners if they have a go-between to help them get their stories straight, and to help the more senior terrorists among the detainees organize the others and coordinate their stories or aid them in resisting the stress of interrogation. All that info from "multiple sources" ie., multiple prisoners, could be little more than info from one central figure's head, designed to have us go on wild geese chases.

I wonder if this guy was associated with the Seattle Cell, and if he had any dealings with the mosques around the base.

How very convenient that he just happened to become a chaplain at Guantanamo. How much power must have been involved to have landed him that plum job??

Something tells me the rest of the Muslim chaplains are being watched under a microscope!
