An espionage sting at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has put a 22-year-old Navy Reserve intelligence specialist behind bars, according to federal authorities.
Agents of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service and the FBI took Navy Reserve Intelligence Specialist 3rd Class Bryan Minkyu Martin into custody Wednesday on suspicion of selling classified information.

That makes complete sense
I can also envision JSOC reviewing their security SOP to see how the suspect was able to secure and transport the sensitive documents outside of their chain of custody...

We USED to have an effective method of dealing with traitors. Since he's in the Navy, I think I'd like to make him walk the plank, or have him hung from the highest yardarm after a keelhauling.
Seriously, betraying your country for money? If he's guilty, IMO he deserves to die.

I wonder who approached him to get him started down this path? Could this have been a set up all along to cover for leaked secrets now made public by wikileaks?

I haave seen a few articles from foreign media talking about the Pvt. Manning issue. Mr. Lamo said wikileaks provided technical assistance, supplying encryption software that can be used to circumvent the security system in place for emaill. It disguised the info to fool the system and allowed the info to be emailed.

I think it's good that they caught him, and it seem they are trying to clean house a little.
But shouldn't they also go after the one who gave him a top secret clearance, maybe there are a few more he let through.
It seems like they are letting people through that can't be trusted with anything, unless that was their intention.
And maybe they should check out his supervisor, its a sad thing to say but when you find one there's a good chance you'll find more.
