No info at link yet, just came across the TV.
and of course he is on a muslim tour right now....
come on this isnt something to be joking about until we know the extent of this, people may die if this is true
No credible information to support the allegations?
Really? In THAT case they ought NEVER to have arrested these soldiers.
What a crock.
Are they STILL in custody? Have they been released? UCMJ is a tad different than the civilian world...
Might happen after a few of our cities get nuked/dirybombed/.etc, not yet.
...or the Shiite on a Shingle?
Methodists or Baptists?
Time for the waterboard.
Shep is going to cover this on his show now..
Thanks much for the ping Velveeta.
There is strength in diversity...
And the enemy is getting stronger every time we embrace it.
KC, no jokes from me.
I’ll bet you fed them all well.
This report, however, is quite distressing. But, as Gen. Casey would say, people may die, but it would be much worse if our diversity in the military was damaged.

Fort Jackson is the U.S. Army’s largest training center. The English as a Second Language (ESL) program moved to Fort Jackson, S.C. from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. This program is for translators and interpreters, and is the first step for Arabic-speakers wanting to become interpreters for the U.S. Army.
The CBN reportcited the arrest of 5 Muslim Americans in Pakistan in December which may be connected to the Fort Jackson story.
Here are some quick details:
12/10/2009 -
Five young Muslim American men were arrested in Pakistan yesterday after police raided a house with alleged ties to Islamic militants, according to various media reports. Their discovery in Pakistan yesterday is one more piece of evidence that radicalized American Muslims are traveling overseas for training in their desire to wage jihad.
The men, ranging in age from their late teens to their mid 20s, vanished from their Northern Virginia suburbs in late November. When they arrived in Pakistan, according to The New York Times, the five men went searching for extremist contacts in an effort to reach Afghanistan and fight U.S.-led forces.

After touching down in Karachi, Pakistan’s biggest city, the men tried to join an extremist Islamic school near Karachi and approached another extremist organization, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, in the eastern city of Lahore, the officials said.
They were rebuffed in both places because of their Western demeanor and the fact that they did not speak the national language, Urdu, an investigator said. They then came here, to Sargodha, a city in the north of Punjab Province, en route to North Waziristan, said the police chief of Sargodha, Usman Anwar.
The men were arrested at the home of an uncle of the eldest of the group, Umer Farooq, 25. Farooq’s parents were also in the house during the raid and his father, Khalid, was also arrested. He is alleged to have ties with Jaish-e-Mohammed, an outlawed militant group fighting for the disputed territory of Kashmir with India, and also knew his son was wanted by the FBI, reports the Times.
Read the entire story of the December arrest in Pakistan at Security Management.
The ongoing probe began two months ago, Chris Grey, a spokesman for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, told Fox News.
The suspects were part of a Arabic translation program called "09 Lima" and use Arabic as their first language, two sources told Fox News. Another military source said they were Muslim.
It’s those D*mned Amish again.
You are correct....but such a notion flies in the face of pseudo “common sense” that Obama tried to stress in one of his MANY recent speeches (lectures?).
Ping me if you find out anything else, please.
Columbia, SC (WLTX) —
Officials at Fort Jackson tell News19 that before Christmas several soldiers were detained in an ongoing investigation.
Right now we are told the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division is handling the investigation.
Several national news organizations are reporting that several soldiers tried to posion the food at the fort.
The media relations staff at Fort Jackson tells us that no one was poisoned and they are working on finding out if any of these reports are true.
WLTX.com will post more information when it becomes available
