US Admits Contact with Idema
"An unnamed Pentagon official tells the BBC that the US Department of Defense has admitted having contact with former US special forces soldier Jonathan 'Jack' Idema. Mr. Idema was arrested in July and is currently on trial with two other American co-defendants for torture, kidnapping, and running a private jail in Kabul, Afghanistan. They face up to 20 years in jail if found guilty. Idema has repeatedly asserted that he was working for the US military, a charge the US has denied."
