Information Mishandled in Chaplain's Case
Mishandling of classified information by the legal staff at America's prison for terrorism suspects undermines the military's case against a Muslim chaplain charged with security breaches, his lawyer said Wednesday.
Army Capt. James Yee had been scheduled to face the military version of a preliminary hearing Tuesday at Fort Benning, Ga., on charges he mishandled secret information at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

2. Interesting argument:
"The difference is that when the government noticed that there was an inadvertent disclosure of classified information, the government took the appropriate steps," Costello said. "In Yee's case, he did not do that he took these things to his quarters ... where they could be potentially compromised."

When it noticed, the government acted. Yee acted differently -- but there is no statement that he noted anything, nor that there was anything to note. Major non sequitur here. It reminds me of the old school-child question: "do you walk to school or carry your lunch?"
