http://www.kirotv.com/news/3006144/detail.html MIAMI -- A Muslim Army chaplain based at Fort Lewis has finally had his name cleared. A U.S. general today overturned a reprimand James Yee received for committing adultery and downloading pornography onto his Army computer. General James T- Hill, commander of the U.S. Southern Command, issued the ruling on Yee's appeal -- saying that he did not believe, "given the extreme notoriety of his case in the news media, that further stigmatizing Chaplain Yee would serve a just and fair purpose." Yee was once embroiled in an investigation of suspected espionage at the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, where the military is holding suspected Islamic terrorists. He spent 76 days in custody after the military linked him to the possible espionage ring. Last month the Army dismissed all criminal charges, but Yee was found guilty of the non-criminal violations of adultery and improperly downloading pornography onto an Army computer.
