Any commissioned officer has to have at least a Secret clearance. That includes chaplains. Reading between the lines and given his West Point pedigree, I would be suprised if he didn't have a Top Secret clearance.

Naturally, that does not mean he had "need to know" in a lot of cases, but it is certain that he was "working" in close rapport with the psy-ops guys that were conducting the interrogations. All in all, it doesn't look very good.

He probably learned a lot more than he was supposed to simply because he wasn't considered a threat. His fellow officers probably thought of him as an American Officer first and a Muslim second -- to their sorrow.

I suspect that this is going to cause major reviews of the U.S. Armed Forces policy on Islamics in uniform -- as well it should.

I'm just wondering if the Army is smarter than we think. Do you think they could have guessed that he was a suspect, and then they purposely sent him while watching him the whole time.

That should have happened after Sgt. Akbar rolled those grenades. Let's hope it happens now.
