Yes, we now know why the nation went to Orange Alert yesterday. I know, you all thought it was because Al Qaeda was thinking of maybe blowing up the IMF and the NYSE? Nope. Apparently military chaplains have been - oh my! - looking at - can I even say it in a public blog? - PORNOGRAPHY. Yes, you recall the Muslim Army chaplain who was accused of possibly spying for Al Qaeda at Gitmo? Well, he's announced that he's resigning from the Army - now that the charges have all been found to be bogus - and do you blame him? Muslims in the military are becoming a lot like gays in the Republican party, of late. Membership does NOT have its privileges.
But my favorite part of the article announcing his retirement was this little quip I didn't even realize until today:
"Eventually the military dropped all criminal charges against him, but it still pursued accusations growing out of the investigation that he had committed adultery and stored pornographic images on a government computer. He was reprimanded for those lesser offenses, but that ruling was thrown out on appeal."Yes, when they couldn't get the guy on terrorism charges, they went after him on adultery and pornography! I guess the bigots in the Bush Administration are dead set on finding a "dirty Arab" and they're gonna get one any way they can.
