Anti-American, Anti-Semitic Army Deserter Arrested
2005-05-05
EFL
An Army sergeant who left his Georgia post six months ago was tracked down at his parents' home after a notebook with anti-American and anti-Semitic writings was found in his discarded backpack. Karim Iraq, 25, was arrested as a deserter and is being held without bail at the Palm Beach County Jail, sheriff's officials said.
An unfortunate name indeed.
His father said the soldier fled Fort Stewart after the Army extended his enlistment because he had soured on the U.S. military mission in Iraq. The father said the soldier was also harassed over his Palestinian heritage. ``He was feeling rejected or discriminated against for the last year or so.... He said he'd been made fun of all the time. He never fit in. They made fun of his name. They always looked at him like he's an outsider,'' Zayed Iraq said.

He made sergeant. He had to have something going for him. He had to have fit in for a while. My understanding is that few odd-balls make sergeant these days.
Karim Iraq was arrested Tuesday, a day after the backpack was found Monday at a gas station within miles of his parents' home in this West Palm Beach suburb. The father said the bag was probably left there by a burglar who had broken into the soldier's truck days earlier. Authorities said a notebook inside the backpack contained handwritten notes cursing the military, freedom and the United States. A message reading ``Die you know who you are!!!'' appears with an image of the Star of David in a circle with a line through it.
Handwritten means it can be compared to known samples of his handwriting. Plus fingerprints on the note book.
I think Leo Strauss planted the notebook.
``He's a dangerous guy with anti-American slogans and a deserter. It's someone we want to get off the street immediately,'' sheriff's Capt. Gregory Richter said.
This fellow is going to have a jury of E-7s and E-8s. It isn't going to go well for him.
