Well, we made everyone in America think you're a filthy traitor, but -- whoops! -- we just noticed we really have no case against you. Awfully sorry about that....

No spy rap vs. cleric? Expect just minor Gitmo charges

WASHINGTON - Army investigators are leaning toward filing slap-on-the-wrist charges versus a Muslim chaplain at Guantanamo Bay who was investigated for espionage, a military source told the Daily News yesterday.

The "handful" of minor charges against Capt. Yousef Yee could be leveled by next week and are not expected to include the more serious allegations of spying, sedition or aiding the enemy, according to the source familiar with the probe.

"It's very weak," the military source said, saying the charges are likely to be related to dereliction of duty and disobeying a general order. "It's nothing compared to espionage or anything like that." ...

Oh, and by the way,

Several military sources said that although many questions remain in the larger espionage investigation, there is no indication a spy ring operated inside the camp.
