We wouldn't be hearing about this at all if that was the plan. Just like you didn't hear about the guy who served in the Egyptian Army, and was caught actively working with Al Qaeda while serving in a VERY high up position of the US Military. I'm talking high security clearances, and access to all sorts of intelligence info. That guy didn't even get a snippet on the news.

So yeah, if this is true, he was either going to leak the info to the press or an international agency...or he was going to provide information to terrorist organizations about who and what the US has on them. Or maybe he was going to collect the info and shop it around to the highest bidder. I really don't know why you'd put a Cleric with Syrian connections out in Gaun. Bay.

Isn't it common for Religious reps in the military to get involved with all sorts of back biting politics, and near blackmail situations?
