Not good - 9/11 "Loose Change" co-producer arrested for military desertion

if they're looking to create a martyr, they're sure going about it the right way...

An Oneonta [NY] man who helped produce a 9/11 conspiracy documentary ["Loose Change"] that became an Internet hit was arrested Monday for allegedly deserting the Army.

Korey Rowe, 24, a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq, was picked up by deputies at about 10:45 p.m. Monday, Otsego County Sheriff Richard Devlin Jr. said.

over and above the fact of WHO they decided to arrest, it's not exactly as if they're out there, combing the country for deserters...

The Associated Press reported last month that deserters are rarely court-martialed by the Army.

Although 3,301 soldiers deserted in the 2006 fiscal year, there were just 174 troops court-martialed.

The AP report said some deserters are returned to their units, while others are discharged in non-criminal proceedings.

Desertion rates have been rising since 2004, but the Army does little to seek out deserters and instead relies on a database that can be cross-checked by local law-enforcement agencies during encounters such as traffic stops, the report states.

so, they made a deliberate, calculated arrest, rather than relying on a chance encounter... not good...

(thanks to casey...)
