Former Commander to get life for buying cigars ... and what?

Am I reading this article right? Does it say that a former U.S. commander might get life, as well as a dishonorable discharge, for buying some cigars and flirting with some gal?

Oh, no, it does not say that. On closer reading, the commander also is alleged to have provided unsupervised use of a cell phone. The cell phone business, if true, sounds serious enough on its own to warrant the punishments. Good God, giving a cell phone to some of the potentially most dangerous men on earth? If true, he should consider himself lucky to have his life spared.



I saw the article at: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071013/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_soldier_charged_1;_ylt=AjhjXQSFZR2T4rnj13mU7h0UewgF
