NEW HAVEN, Conn.— Federal prosecutors say a former sailor was properly convicted of leaking details about ship movements to suspected terrorist supporters and shouldn’t get a new trial.
Hassan Abu-Jihaad was the only member of the military communicating with the group and had access to the classified information, prosecutors said in court documents in New Haven. Abu-Jihaad was convicted in March of providing material support to terrorists and disclosing classified national defense information.
Abu-Jihaad, who was a signalman aboard the destroyer Benfold, was accused of passing along details that included the makeup of his Navy battle group, its planned movements and a drawing of the group’s formation to pass through the dangerous Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf on April 29, 2001. The details also included statements such as, “They have nothing to stop a small craft with RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) etc., except their SEALS’ stinger missiles.”

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

doesn't "Abu-Jihaad" translate as "Son of Jihaad"? Shouldn't that have been a clue?
