Matthew Diaz, a lawyer for the Navy, has been charged with disclosing documents pertaining to Guantanamo.

Lt. Cmdr. Matthew M. Diaz, who was stationed at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay for six months, could face more than 36 years in prison if convicted at a military trial of the three charges he faces, Navy Mid-Atlantic Region spokeswoman Beth Baker said.

A charge sheet released Tuesday says Diaz, 40, printed out secret information related to national defense "with intent or reason to believe that the said information was to be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation." The document also says Diaz "did ... wrongfully and dishonorably transmit classified documents to an unauthorized individual."

In plain English, according to Reuters:

Diaz was accused of mailing "a multi-page classified document that contained the names and other identifying information" about Guantanamo detainees from that base to "a nongovernmental organization not authorized to receive it," Baker said.

Diaz has been in the Army or Navy for the past 19 years, a career guy. He's not in jail and he continues to work for the Navy in Jacksonville, Fl. How dangerous could he be?
