All the charges have been dropped against Capt. James Yee, the Muslim chaplain accused of mislandling classified documents down in Guantanamo.

In a statement released from the United States Southern Command in Miami, the military said it did not want to proceed with a trial on the charge of mishandling classified data because to do so could expose sensitive evidence to public view.

The remaining charges of adultery and possession of pornography against Captain Yee were also dropped. But he will have to face an administrative hearing on those accusations, and he could be penalized by having an official rebuke placed in his record.

Whats most suprising about this case is that Yee is simply going to be returned back to his home base in Ft. Lewis. I'm suprised that either the military or Yee isn't trying to get an honorable discharge after this - I'd think it'd be a bit weird to continue on as if nothing ever happened.
