I would kindly direct your attention to this story, where James Yee, the former Army muslim chaplain who was investigated for spying at Guantanamo Bay, has been selected as a Washington state delegate to the Democratic Convention as an Obama delegate.

Now, how many times have we heard from the media and our friends across the aisle that churches are not supposed to ‘inject themselves’ into the political process? I wonder what their justification for this scenario would be, if for no other reason than to watch the whirling contortions required.

I would also like to point out Yee’s reasons for supporting Obama:

“I came out and basically reiterated that Sen. Obama is really the only candidate that consistently campaigns on rejecting torture without exception, on closing Guantanamo Bay, restoring habeas (corpus) and adhering to the Geneva Conventions.”

He doesn't have an axe to grind, does he?
