Second Bigass UrlThe Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) began looking into the case of Senior Airman Ahmad I. al-Halabi in November 2002 while he was a supply clerk at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., the agent wrote in court documents. Airman Al-Halabi was sent to the Cuban base weeks later as an Arabic-language interpreter for the al Qaeda and Taliban suspects there.
Airman Al-Halabi, 24, now is charged with espionage for reportedly e-mailing classified information about the prison camp to an unspecified "enemy" and planning to give other secrets about the prison to someone traveling to Syria. He is one of two military members at the prison camp to be arrested during an investigation of possible security breaches.
I found this out on Stuart Slade's Board:An ex-U.S. soldier contracted by the military as an Arabic-language translator has become the third person arrested in connection with an espionage investigation at the U.S. naval base prison for suspected al Qaeda and Taliban members in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Ahmed Fathy Mehalba, a U.S. citizen of Egyptian descent, was arrested Monday after arriving on a flight from Cairo to Boston where officials searching his bags found a compact disc containing classified information, law enforcement authorities said.
Fucking hell...we should have hired them back as CIA translators.Perhaps the army wishes it hadn't kicked those 6 linguists
trained to speak Arabic at the Defense Language
Institute in Monterey out for being gay right before the start of the Iraq war last November.
So we now know that using Muslim arabic speakers is dangerous because they are a security risk. Gay translators aren't sounding like suck a bad deal any more now are they?
Think about it...no islamic fundie would infiltrate a group of
arabic translators who bat for the other side...they'd rather
BLOW THEM UP FOR DEFILING THEMSELVES!!!
