Hi there,

In the six months since President Trump’s inauguration, we have seen unprecedented attacks on the press. Instead of pushing back, corporate owners of commercial networks are caving in. Because we do not accept any corporate or government funding, we rely on audience members like you to sustain our work. I hope you will donate today to support our independent journalism.Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Army Detains Muslim Military Chaplain

HeadlineSep 22, 2003

The U.S. military has arrested and detained the Muslim chaplain who counsels detainees at Guantanamo Bay. The Guardian of London reports Army Capt. Yousef Yee is being held on suspicion of espionage and providing “improper assistance” to inmates there. Yee is the first known U.S. soldier to be detained in the so-called war on terror. Charges have not been filed against the New Jersey born Yee who was detained nearly two weeks ago. He is being held at a military brig in Charleston, S.C. where the U.S. has been holding Yaser Esam Hamdi and Jose Padilla both of whom have been charged as enemy combatants.
