Faces of 'Jack' Idema: black ops ace, nut case
Way to long to post, but a good background read on the guy who appears to be the Col. Kurtz of Afghanistan.Almost a decade ago, Jonathan Keith Idema sat in an Eastern North Carolina prison cell, blaming his legal woes on a vendetta by FBI agents angry that he refused to name Soviet spies who tipped him off to a nuclear smuggling operation in Lithuania. Now the Fayetteville resident sits in custody in Afghanistan, accused of running a vigilante anti-terrorist operation in which he rounded up innocent Afghans, held them in a makeshift jail and abused them. His defense? He was a good American doing his duty, only to be set up by the FBI as revenge for that Lithuanian spy caper. Posted by: tu3031 2004-07-27 |
