Incommunicado

This is insane.

A Navy lawyer was found guilty of communicating secret information about Guantánamo Bay detainees that could be used to injure the United States and three other charges of leaking information to an unauthorized person. The lawyer, Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Diaz, was acquitted of printing out national defense information with the intent or reason to believe it would be used against the United States. Commander Diaz, 41, of Topeka, Kan., did not testify in the court-martial hearing at the Norfolk Naval Station. He faces up to 14 years in prison. Prosecutors contended Commander Diaz mailed to a human rights lawyer a printout of the names of 550 detainees tucked into an unsigned Valentine’s Day card. Defense lawyers said that the information was not labeled classified and that Commander Diaz had no reason to think the document could be used to injure the United States.

Diaz was simply trying to draw attention to the fact that we are holding hundreds of individuals without divulging their identities. In other words, he was acting as an advocate for his clients and trying to draw attention to injustice.

Oh, but I forgot, they're the "worst of the worst."
