US Army detain Pulitzer Prize Winner for Undeclared 'insurgency' charges

According to BBC news:
The Pentagon says additional evidence has come to light proving Bilal Hussein is a "terrorist media operative" who infiltrated the news agency.

US officials say he had previously aroused suspicion because he was often at the scene of insurgent attacks as they occurred.

He did not disclose what the new evidence is.

"Whenever we ask to see what's so convincing we get back something that isn't convincing at all," said AP's lawyer Dave Tomlin.

Calls for his release have been backed by press freedom groups such as the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Is the US loosing 'it'?
