SEPTEMBER 2003 : (GITMO'S MUSLIM U.S. ARMY CHAPLIAN YEE {See SOUTH CAROLINA/SC CELL SYRIAN SHAIKH AHMAD KUFTARO} & TRANSLATOR AHMAD AL HALABI ARE ARRESTED----- See GITMO, ESPIONAGE, SYRIA) The arrest of [Ahmad] Al Halabi, who is an Air Force translator who worked in Guantanamo, was simultaneous to the arrest of the Chinese-American officer James Yee (Joseph) who worked as a preacher in Guantanamo, and who is accused of spying as well, knowing that the latter studied religion in Damascus and married a Syrian woman. The U.S. authorities started investigating the preacher's relation with networks of extremists inside U.S. The Washington Post reported Pentagon officials as saying that Captain Yee resorted to Al Halabi's services for translation, even though he is fluent in Arabic. The authorities found on him 'secret' documents at the time of his arrest.
The New York Times mentioned that Al Halabi (24 years) is facing more than 30 accusations, including that of attempting to leak the prison's schematics, in addition to prisoner's names and messages from them. He was arrested on July 23, but the authorities only mentioned something about it after CNN found out about it two days ago. The severest accusation is that of trying to "pass on secret information to the Syrian government," including two hand-written letters from prisoners in addition to a laptop containing 180 e-mails from prisoners "some of which were sent to addresses in Syria," according to Pentagon officials.

That’s an interesting thought
I’m like you, watching the articles regarding WikiLeaks and Manning online. If he (or anyone connected to them) are found guilty of treason/espionage/terrorism I do hope he/they get the death penalty.
