And as he gets on the plane...some nimwit commander probably wakes up and thinks...this guy has all of those personal notes which might be classified. From what I've heard on news reports tonight, the military were not the ones to figure this out. It was Customs who confiscated whatever he had, and then held him, when he got back to Miami.
If it's true that he's a traitor, then unfortunately it sounds as if he could have done a lot of damage without anyone catching on in time.
If this is true...it was the customs guys who went through the baggage and found it....it would be rather unusual case. Having been military and traveled internationally numerous occassions....once they know you are military, they don't usually do an extensive check of your bags. I'd like to hear the entire account of how they arrested. It is also curious that this arrest took place earlier in the month, and just now hitting the press...why the delay? The only logical reason was Army Intelligence reviewing all of the documents and then deciding that they were classified. The amusing thing in this little episode...is when the Gitmo prisoners realize that the Army arrested this guy...they won't be quiet as cooperative. He had gained their trust and helped in the interrogations. I suspect that the Army may want this episode to go quickly and quietly away.
