Mother of Muslim chaplain wants apology

The mother of an Army chaplain once charged with mishandling classified information at a prison camp for suspected terrorists wants the military to apologize for wrongly accusing her son.


Fong Yee, mother of Capt. James Yee, said the Army's decision last week to dismiss charges against her son offered little reason to celebrate because the military dropped the matter without clearing his name.


"Realize you made a mistake and apologize," Yee told The Sunday Star-Ledger of Newark by telephone from her home in Springfield. "What's so wrong with that? It's an honorable thing to do. That's just basic human decency."

1. So wtf is this national security part about? -
In dismissing the charges, Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, commander of the task force that operates the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center for terror suspects, cited "national security concerns that would arise from the release of the evidence" if the case proceeded.

2. The national security concerns would probably be that there was no case
and that it was just anti-Muslim propaganda to keep the booga-booga alive. Nearly ALL of these trumped up cases against Muslims since 9-11 have disappeared. Funny, huh?

3. These Nazis aren't human.
So sad, the mother will go to her grave and these Neocon Nazis will NEVER apologize for anything!
