A fourth person has now been charged with violating security at the Guantanamo Bay prison: Guantanamo Officer Charged With Breach.

U.S. Army Col. Jack Farr was charged Saturday with “wrongfully transporting classified material without the proper security container on or around Oct. 11, and making a false statement in the course of the investigation into his handling of classified material,” said a statement from the U.S. Southern Command in Miami.

The former Muslim chaplain at the base, Army Capt. James Yee, has been charged with carrying away sketches of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, where he counseled prisoners accused of links to Afghanistan’s deposed Taliban regime or the al-Qaida terror network.

Yee was held for 67 days before being released Tuesday, when the military announced new charges against him of storing pornography on a government computer and committing adultery.

He faces a preliminary hearing on Monday at Fort Benning, Ga.

Yee is one of three men who had contact with the terrorism suspects at Guantanamo to face charges.

An Arabic translator, Air Force Senior Airman Ahmad I. al-Halabi, has pleaded innocent to charges of espionage and aiding the enemy.

A civilian interpreter, Ahmad F. Mehalba, was arrested last month in Boston and charged with lying to federal agents by denying computer discs he was carrying had classified information from Guantanamo. He also has pleaded innocent.
