Information Mishandled in Chaplainâs Case
Mishandling of classified information by the legal staff at Americaâs prison for terrorism suspects undermines the militaryâs 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. But the hearing was postponed after prosecutors discovered that legal staff at Guantanamo had mistakenly included a classified document in investigation packets delivered to Yeeâs attorney and the hearing officer, Army Lt. Col. Bill Costello of the U.S. Southern Command said Wednesday.Aargh! Posted by: seafarious 2003-12-03 |
