Guantanamo Bay Officer Charged (another one)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-3444482,00.html

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - An Army intelligence
officer was charged Saturday with violating
security at the U.S. detention camp for terrorist
suspects in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

He is the fourth worker at the base accused of
such violations. Two Arabic translators and a
Muslim chaplain face charges ranging from
espionage to adultery.

U.S. Army Col. Jack Farr was charged Saturday
with failing to obey a lawful general order and
making a false official statement, all violations of
the Uniform Code of Military Justice, said a
statement from the U.S. Southern Command in
Miami.


``Specifically, he's charged with wrongfully
transporting classified material without the proper
security container on or around Oct. 11, and
making a false statement in the course of the
investigation into his handling of classified
material,'' it said.

1. Dollars to donuts...
the 'classified materials' he was handling in an improper way were details of the treatment of prisoners.

3. I suspect that you are right
Remember the previous commander that was relieved from command last year for posting the Geneva Accords on treatment of POWs?

The Nazis are purging all the consciencious officers out of the military.

4. I'm sure that those officers
are all men of conscience, and want the world to know how many of the Geneva conventions have been violated. That's why they have been singled out for 'charges'.
