    Alaska soldier held on suspicion of espionage

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A 22-year-old U.S. Army soldier based in Alaska is being held without bail on suspicion of espionage.

    The Anchorage Daily News (http://bit.ly/ux1RkW ) reports Spec. William C. Millay was arrested Friday.

    The FBI spokesman for Alaska, Eric Gonzalez, says his agency and military personnel investigated the case. Millay is based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage. He was jailed at the Anchorage jail but Gonzalez says Millay will be prosecuted through the military justice system.

    Gonzalez says there is no connection between Millay and leaks of information to WikiLeaks.

    According to a weekend story in The Army Times, Millay was a military policeman from Owensboro, Ky., and was assigned to the 164th Military Police Company. Most members of that company are on a year deployment to Afghanistan that started in March.

      • MP 6 mths ago
        The story is from the Associated press which is typical for a release since no one works for them in Alaska cause its freekin cold.
    • Us  •  6 mths ago
      The fact that his unit deployed to Afghanistan without him is a clue that he is not your recruiting poster Soldier.
      • CraigH 6 mths ago
        Really? My unit is there now, and I am not. I am retiring. Others in my unit have anything from a Change Of Station to Seperation orders coming up, and they didn't go either Might want to educate yourself a bit before you open your cake-hole next time.

        On a lighter note, if he's guilty, we'll square him away. He'll get a nice cell with Nidal Hassan. That's how we role up here in Alaska.

      Army soldier? as opposed to a Navy soldier?
      • jakepi 6 mths ago
        The Navy doesn't have any soldiers, but the US Army does have sailors and ships. And the Navy are the ones that continually sell top secrets to israel, not the US Army!
      • hz 6 mths ago
        Jak - I think the fact that Army personnel are referred to as 'soldiers' (and not other branch use the term 'soldier') was his point...
      • jakepi 6 mths ago
        I assigned one kid with no enlistment contract to a US Army cargo ship to work as a general duty sailor and he just could not believe that the US Army has ships and sailors

      I bet there is more to the story. Espionage consists of a very large spectrum of actvities. If the security clearance is high enough, just voicing one's job description can be considered espionage.

    • Fred  •  Willcox, United States  •  6 mths ago
      What a great story. The only way to improve it would be to find out what it's all about before you write it up.
    • Eldon  •  6 mths ago
      If you are going to put someones name worldwide for more or less being a taitor it would be nice to include some info.

    • james petrie  •  New Orleans, United States  •  6 mths ago
      this story is very short on info,may be some one could do more work next time.
    • jeff  •  6 mths ago
      I'm curious to know who he was allegedly spying for. If he did turn traitor, shoot him, if he didn't apologize to him.
    • Just my Own Opinion!  •  Anchorage, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Being someone that lives on this base, and having a husband in the military, this is very scary to me. And for those doubters that this young kid could have info to sell, none of us really know what his job entails and what his security clearance is, and what he sees on a daily basis. And don't forget that he could also just be a means of access to the base, where his cohorts could gather info. I'm glad they caught him and that they will catch those he's working with and for soon. Alaska may not seem like a place where there would be alot of info found, but there is a HUGE military presence here in Anchorage, up north in Fairbanks, and other parts of Alaska, and this kid put over 65,000 military troops and their families in danger. Not to include the over 200,000 people in Anchorage alone. Here's to hoping they prosecute him to the fullest extent of the MILITARY law and that he never sees the light of day again.
