Pentagon closes book on Muslim chaplain: Captain James Yee

The Pentagon’s inspector general has concluded a review of the case of a former Muslim chaplain who was detained and later cleared of espionage charges, saying the Department of Defense acted properly in investigating the U.S. Army chaplain.

“We found that DOD officials acted in good faith and within applicable standards in ordering Chaplain Yee’s initial and continued pretrial confinement, and Chaplain Yee was not targeted because of his religious affiliation,” reads a two-page executive summary of the review involving former army chaplain (and captain) James Yee.
