Where's the Very Public Apology?

Many people may vaguely remember the name James Yee. A Muslim, the Army chaplain was arrested amidst great fanfare last fall as an accused traitor, accused of passing information to and from detainees at Guantanamo. He was held in solitary confinement for 76 days. However, as USA Today elaborates today, the charges against Yee quickly fell apart, to the point that his record has been completely cleared. The Pentagon claims the charges were dropped for "national security reasons," but that explanatory isn't working on many military law experts. Yee's saga has prompted outrage from, among others, former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr. Barr, as far right as you can get and still be a Republican, has correctly pointed out that this is "what happens when you've removed any judicial oversight over what the government is doing."
