#1 And our favorite Muslim Chaplin (Yee) was there too....

More info at this Seattle KOMO TV News story: (EFL)

Among those at Anderson's hearing was Capt. James Yee, a Muslim chaplain at Fort Lewis who until recently was embroiled in an investigation of suspected espionage at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.

Wednesday's proceeding at this Army base south of Tacoma was an Article 32 hearing, similar to a preliminary hearing in civilian court. After hearing the Army's evidence against Anderson, the investigating officer, Col. Patrick J. Reinert, will recommend whether he should face a court martial. Reinert's recommendation will go to the base commander at Fort Lewis, Lt. Gen. Edward Soriano, who will decide whether Anderson will be tried.

Anderson was arrested after Army investigators alleged he gave information to undercover U.S. agents, apparently believing they were part of al-Qaida.

Initially, he was charged with four counts of trying to communicate with terrorists. The Army added a fifth charge last month, which was not disclosed to the media until Wednesday. It alleges that at one point, Anderson told undercover military personnel: "I wish to desert from the U.S. Army. I wish to defect from the United States. I wish to join al-Qaida, train its members and conduct terrorist attacks."

#4 If the military has the case, they need to make an example of this guy and go for the death penalty. Except it will be under the UCMJ and an execution would be done without a snuffy video, unlike the Jihadis.

I also hope that Muslims in the military, especially these so-called chaplains, are vetted. The tribal loyalty of the muslims threatens the military's mission, and cannot be ignored.
