| A Muslim chaplain accused of taking classified material from the U.S. prison for terrorist suspects in Cuba was charged Tuesday by the military with adultery and storing pornography on a government computer. Gee, Yee, I thought Islam says porn is haram. The military released Army Capt. James Yee from custody and will allow him to return to duty at a base in Georgia, said Raul Duany, a spokesman for the U.S. Southern Command. Return to duty? WTF? The new charges include making a false statement, storing pornography on a government computer and having sexual relations outside marriage, which violates military law. Liar, spy, perv, cheater. A model Muslim. Yee’s lawyer, Eugene Fidell, said he was pleased that his client was released but disappointed by the new charges. "We’re thrilled that Chaplain Yee was released, but on the other hand, the additional charges are the kind of thing that can give military justice a bad the name, especially the adultery charge," Fidell said. And your client is the kind of Muslim who gives Islam a bad name. |

| #5 Anyone know what happened to the espionage charges? Are they releasing him for "singing"? Or are they just letting people think he sang and see who moves to silence him? |

| #3 Flash, the military loves to ‘pile-on’ charges. If you steal from the BX you would be charged with not only theft, but also conduct unbecoming. Nothing special here. They probably have the proof for espionage, but during the investigation they found additional charges. Kind of like when they arrest a drug dealer and also find a gun on them. They would be charged with possession, intent to distribute, and unlawful handgun |

| #2 arrest the guy for espionage, convict him of porn? If they dont have proof of espionage, they should drop all charges. This porn conviction just makes them look petty. PS - Illegal muslim combatants should have to eat bbq pork sandwiches until they puke. |

| #1 Sounds like military justice is doing their job - unlike the issue with LtCol West, there are some specific and clear violations of the military code here. |
