 WWI.\n\nYee was a stellar West Point graduate with a distinguished career 
 as a military officer.\n\nYee was initially assigned to Guantanamo Prison 
 to serve as\nMuslim Chaplain to the prisioners. Because he provided 
 spiritual\ncounseling to Muslim inmates and protested torture and human 
 rights violations at Guantanamo, after less than one year serving there, he 
 was illegally incarcerated in 2002 as an "enemy combatant" at a top-secret 
 naval prison in Charleston, South Carolina, This is where all Americans 
 accused of being "terrorist sympathizers" are imprisoned. Upon his arrest. 
 the military refused to let his family know his whereabouts. He was denied 
 mail, visitors and legal represenation. Yee was accused of espionage by the 
 military and threatened with the death penalty. He spent 76 days in 
 solitary confinement and was subject to abusive torture treatment.\n\nIn 
 2004, the government dropped all charges against him due to\nlack of 
 evidence. He never received an apology from the government and resigned in 
 disgust, due to his military career was destroyed and in ruins. In October 
 2005, Yee wrote the book "For God and Country: Faith and Patriotism Under 
 Fire." \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/01/23/18351077.php
