British Corporal charged with spying for Iran!

Holy Shi’ite.
The Telegraph reports on a British Army Corporal who interprets for the Commander of NATO Forces in Afghanistan, spying for the Iranians.
Gen Richards commands 31,000 troops, including special forces, and has regular contact with President Hamid Karzai. A military source said the amount of information James would have known would have depended on the type of relationship he had with Gen Richards.
Holy Shi’ite.
I believe treason is the one crime for which the death penalty is retained in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and I hope if he’s found guilty that this motherfarker swings.
Shows what the Iranians are interested in doesn’t it, James Baker? Of cooouuuurse, they want to help stabilize the region.
(His house is worth $1.6 million, which would be pretty typical for a US Army Corporal, I’m sure. Military readers can confirm.)

House worth $1.6 mil US. If the enlisted catch wind of this, they’ll be trying to get out and join the UK military. Just kidding. We all know he was probably bagging groceries to make a little extra cash.

No longer the case, the death penalty was dropped many years ago, but will get possible 25 years, if found guilty…..
They said he “communicated to another person information calculated to be directly or indirectly useful to the enemy”.. Which enemy.. any one can be an enemy..
From what i have been reading, there is more than meets the eye on this whole situation.. News Blackout for starters, I haven’t seen any details on this situation, the case is being held behind closed doors, if its a matter of national security, surely the public should be kept upto date with what is happening, or will it simply be a case of it being brushed under the carpet…
It has made world news, and with anything to do with the Secrets Act, we will never get to see the whole story, this could be setup, it could be a ploy to fish out another spy.. Who knows….
Only time will tell..
