Fort Lewis soldier charged with trying to aid al-Qaida
From the
Seattle Times:
bq. A National Guardsman stationed at Fort Lewis was arrested today and charged by the Army with trying to provide information to the al-Qaida terrorist network, a federal law enforcement official said.
bq. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Spc. Ryan G. Anderson was charged with "aiding the enemy by wrongfully attempting to communicate and give intelligence to the al-Qaida terrorist network."
bq. Anderson, a Muslim, was being held at Fort Lewis, an Army base near Tacoma.
The article goes on to say that Anderson had converted five years ago. I can see being sympathetic to your spiritual practices but this is absolute treason. The line between the two is not that difficult to discern...
