Guardsman Accused of Leaking

Will this be like other charges of espionage and "terrorist" sympathizing, like those with James Yee, and others, where after this young man's life is ruined, it turns out the story amounts to nothing?

Ashcroft and company love to make these sound grievous and horrific, and yet... again and again... nothing. It's the worst sort of charge you can level against someone and it ought to be done only with careful consideration and analysis and not treated like a situation where you toss as much muck as you can at a wall and see what - if anything - sticks.
