Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the scene of the espionage arrest.

When it comes to espionage, that’s a charge that the United States traditionally takes very seriously.  Especially in the wake of the Wikileaks scandal, in which a US soldier leaked classified information online, the Army has been rooting out and cracking down on information leaks and espionage.  Hence, a US Army soldier from Kentucky has been arrested on espionage charges.  United States Army Specialist William Colton Millay was arrested on espionage charges by a joint task force in Alaska.  He was stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a combined Army/Air Force base near Anchorage.

“Today’s arrest was the result of a close working relationship between the FBI and its military partners in Alaska,”  said Mary Rook, special agent in charge of the FBI in Alaska.  “Through this ongoing partnership, we are better able to protect our nation.”

Millay was arrested after a joint FBI/US Army Counterintelligence joint espionage investigation.  Millay, 22, is from Owensboro, Kentucky, and was a member of the 164th Military Police Company, 793rd Military Police Battalion, 2nd Engineer Brigade.  The investigation is ongoing, but FBI officials say the case is not related to the Wikileaks case.  He will be tried in a military court, according to sources.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
