#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.

#2 My first thought was to check the files for messages hidden via steganography.

#3 yup. At the Burg we tend to snicker re: Muslims and pornography - and it's often a snicker-worthy situation. But porn images are indeed often used to hide steganographic messages.

#4 If you are going to use steganography to hide things that would get you sent to jail, best not to use images that will get you sent to jail all on their own.
