#1 All military Islamic chaplains have come out of Wahabist schools. I don't think that is very smart. I don't know that you can flush them all out of the service immediately.

#2 Planning a jail break. Where are they going to go?

Who's been flying to Cuba?

Is a boat coming from FLA?

#3 Were they going to threaten or kill the interrogators' families?

#4 I haven't seen the whining 'why pick on us' announcement from CAIR yet; nor anyone predicting that this would agitate the Arab street. Is it because the perp is ethnically Asian? Cinthia McKinney call your office.

#5 I don't know that you can flush them all out of the service immediately.

No, but they could all be assigned to a weather station someplace north of Alaska.

#6 The Independent has it, via Sully.

#7 In addition, Yee is suspected of having ties to radical Muslims in the United States that are now under investigation, the official said, adding that he couldn’t elaborate.

Anyone remember a story about a couple of imams detained in Southern Florida on or around 9-11-03? I wonder if their detention was a side-effect of this arrest...

#8 Thule is nice this time of year. They may need chaplains to do other duties as assigned....

#9 If the Gitmo hotel guests stage a break-out, even if they are gunned down and everyone killed, it is a propaganda victory for Al and the Qaedas. Also an American Muslim Chaplin aiding and abetting a breakout or attempted breakout is also a feather in their cap. It is good that we caught this one. We need to be extra vigilant and we need to check into all the military's Muslim Clerics Imams Chaplains and their background and see what else they are hiding.

#10 I don't know about jail breaks, but any intelligence that might have been derived has been compromised. Al Qaeda knows what not to do and, if they were clever, could have planted bad intelligence.

#11 Isolation from other suspects is a very key part of an interrogation. What I think we'll find is that the Chaplain was transferring information between prisoners so that the stories matched. Information also might have been transferred on what beans had been spilled to outside sources. I doubt that uprisings or escapes were being coordinated.

#12 He may have reported on both interrogation methods and cooperative captives. This is very bad. I have a difficult time understanding why any such Moslem should be entertained by the US military, especially one who left the army to study Islam in Damascus and has "acquired" a Syrian wife. We're at war! What happened to security clearance?

Were Nazi theorists invited to visit prisoner camps and boost the morale of German prisoners during WW II ? it looks like someone is still not getting the message that Moslems have declared all-out war on the USA.

#13 I almost wish they'd tried a breakout. Gitmo is a major naval base, armed to the teath because its bordering communist Cuba on 3 sides. I'm pretty sure any attempt to liberate the friends in Gitmo would have ended with a lot of Al Queda body bags before they even got close to the prisoners.

#14 Alaska Paul - Shemya is nice too. Might even be in your neck of the woods (relatively speaking).

#15 I think a more likely scenario is that he was gathering information to give to a press source. I bet that will be his story. He will say that the incarceration at Gitmo was offensive to his American and Islamic sensabilities and that he was going to bring the info to the Press (NY Times? Al Guardian, Al Jazeera?) so it gets out to the public.

If I was his lawyer, that is what I would push for.

BTW, I disagree totally with his actions. If convicted, possibly they should behead him. And deport his wife.

#16  Chaplin or not he should be tried and if found guilty shot or hanged.

I was at GITMO when camp X-Ray was first built for the Cuban/Haitian Crimelords / Psychos in 1994. First off, good luck trying to make it to Castro. It's alot of swamp with little nasties that typically inhabit the terrain and those other things called ....landmines.

When Cuban migrants couldn't take the camps anymore they'd try to flee back to Cuba. Many nights at the outdoor movie theater we'd suddenly hear a "Whoomp!" and know what happened to that last "escapee." Alternatively, they could swim for it. Just don't try to swim upriver on the airfield side. The Cubans have a meat packing factory that drains into it. The sharks like to hang out there. I almost got pulled out of the boat fishing on that river once. Then it may still be Box Jellyfish mating season. Ouch! They're all over the place. Oh yeah, so are the thousands of Barracuda. Then they could simply drown.
Then, of course, the last and most deadly predator that they'd have to elude would be the Marine security forces. HAHAHAHA Good luck Achmed! Say "hi" to Allah while you're in hell for me. Thanks.

#17 Frankly after reading all about honor/shame, shouldn't the little wifie be killed too? The Religion of Peace™ demands it?
