Navy Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Diaz, 41, faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted of five charges ranging from unlawfully releasing classified material that could harm the United States to conduct unbecoming an officer.
Prosecutors argue that the list containing names, codes and serial numbers of 500-plus Guantánamo captives was a national security secret when Diaz sent a shrunken version in January 2005 to the Center for Constitutional Rights, a civil liberties law firm suing on behalf of both publicly identified and nameless war-on-terror captives.
If found guilty, I hope he gets those twenty-four years in prison. Why we can't shoot those who help our enemies I don't know. [Alleged] scum bag.
Maybe Diaz will call on John Edwards to validate his alternative form of patriotiic expression.
