veiled4allah: it gets more farcical by the minute veiled4allah: it gets more farcical by the minuteMishandling of classified information by the legal staff at America's prison for terrorism suspects undermines the military's case against a Muslim chaplain charged with security breaches, his lawyer said Wednesday. Army Capt. James Yee had been scheduled to face the military version of a preliminary hearing Tuesday at Fort Benning, Ga., on charges he mishandled secret information at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.Yes, the same violation for which Yee was kept in chains and manacles in maximum security solitary confinement for a month, now the government prosecutors have committed it too.
But the hearing was postponed after prosecutors discovered that legal staff at Guantanamo had mistakenly included a classified document in investigation packets delivered to Yee's attorney and the hearing officer, Army Lt. Col. Bill Costello of the U.S. Southern Command said Wednesday.
Yee's attorney, Eugene Fidell, said the development shows the government case should be dismissed.
"I am wondering how they can with a straight face persist in prosecuting him when they don't themselves know what's classified and what isn't," he said. (source)
