#1 You have to wonder about this one. While the odds are quite good that it's for real, it was probably discovered when he turned in a work laptop, which has no admissible chain of evidence. That would kill the charge dead in a civilian court. Not so much in a military court.
What could be going on behind the scenes is that he was recruited specifically for language skills, but he might have been suspected of joining to get combat and weapons skills, intending to bring that knowledge back to the Muslim community for nefarious ends.
A CP charge is pretty rough to beat, unless it was a setup and whoever did it didn't change the file date/time stamps. Internet records would also offer strong proof one way or another. |
