#1 why do we fund these Universities with our tax dollars? It seems to me that they get more than enough financial assistance from Saudi Arabia.

#2 Yee was caught with classified data on Gitmo prisoners. He was most likely going to send it to Syria (wife is Syrian, as well as another arrested Gitmo translator). Instead of facing a firing squad or life imprisonment, the US government dropped the charges to keep information from becoming public.

Just another illustration of why trying to fight the Islamic enemy is a losing proposition, when a spy can't even be tried for fear of making the classified data public. I am disgusted with our leaders fiddling while Rome burns.

#4 bk,
When charges were dropped, the military said it was to avoid making public classified data, not because the charges did not have merit. That has been all to common in prosecuting those who have classified info. In addition, when he was arrested, agents reported at the time testified that the materials were of national security. That sounds like the names of prisoners and the info they gave up.

If you have details on why he is innocent, I would like to know more.
