It appears the Army has totally botched the case against Muslim chaplain James Yee; all charges have been dropped.

MIAMI - The Army’s allegations last year were grave: A military chaplain at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was linked to a possible espionage ring and eventually charged with mishandling classified information. Six months later, all charges against Capt. James Yee have been dropped.

“Chaplain Yee has won,” his attorney, Eugene R. Fidell of Washington, said in a statement Friday. “The Army’s dismissal of the classified information charges against him represents a long overdue vindication.”

But is this really a vindication?

In dismissing the charges, Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo, which operates the detention center, cited “national security concerns that would arise from the release of the evidence” if the case proceeded.
