A Chaplain's Test of Faith
An excellent article about Ch. James Yee, who was accused of espionage and treason for essentially being a Muslim while stationed at Guantanamo. He has a book out, and I think it would be a good source if we want to see how the military really operates.

His wife held the gun in one hand and two bullets in the other.

"Tell me how to use it," she whispered over the phone from the couple's Olympia, Wash., apartment. Of everything Chaplain James Yee had been through -- the arrest, the espionage allegations, the 76 days in solitary confinement -- this was the worst moment.

Yee was arrested Sept. 10, 2003, on allegations of spying and aiding the enemy while assigned to minister to Muslim detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The news made international headlines, and soon word spread that he was the leader of a terrorist spy ring.

The military eventually dropped all charges.
