if they don't have the word "confidential" or "secret" stamped across them, then the papers are NOT confidential or secret; you know, it's not that difficult, folks: <:|
ARMY STILL UNSURE IF CHAPLAIN HAD BANNED DATA

Six months after the arrest of a Muslim Army chaplain charged with
mishandling secret information on terror suspects, U.S. Army officials said
yesterday they have still not determined whether the papers he was carrying
are actually classified.
A preliminary hearing for Capt. James Yee, a Springfield, N.J., native, was
delayed for the fifth time yesterday so officials can continue their review
of the documents, according to a statement issued yesterday by U.S.
Southern Command.
The hearing, scheduled to resume today at Fort Benning in Georgia, was
postponed until March 24.
Yee's attorney, Eugene Fidell, pounced on the growing pattern of delays as
a sign that the government has no evidence to back the charges against the
West Point graduate.
"I've prosecuted cases, and if I were them I wouldn't want to go forward
with this either," said Fidell. "What's missing is the smoking gun - or any
gun, even a cold gun. It's time for this case to be shut down and my client
to be given an apology."
A spokesman for U.S. Southern Command declined to comment on the case.
