Anyone know what the difference is in this context between "spying" and "espionage"? - Hephaestos 06:49, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)


 * It struck me as well. I'm hoping it will be explained by some cable-TV commentator: it's certain to be arcane and legalistic! -- Someone else 07:06, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)~


 * Hmm... the Washington Times says he is of "Chinese-American descent", but Korean characters are being used for his name in our article. Is that usual? -- Someone else 07:10, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)
 * Korean characters?? I see Chinese characters in the article. -- J3ff 07:45, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The man has been exonerated, someone should update the article.

What makes someone a Muslim-American? I haven't seen anyone described as Christian-American or Jewish-American or whatever here.

I spotted a contradiction in the article. The top section states that Yee went to Syria for religious training. A lower section states that he was stopped at the Canadian border in July 2006 and it was his first trip abroad.

Chinese Name
I am just curious--what is the deal with the Chinese name listed on the page? Chaplain Yee is a third-generation American with an English first name; does he also have a Chinese given name? Do those characters mean "Yee," or do they include "James"? I am just curious why it was added. After all, Michael Dukakis, who is a first-generation American, does not have his name rendered in Greek letters. --Max power 14:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The Chinese character for "Yee" (his family name, also pronounced "Yu" depending on the Chinese dialect) is listed, but his given name in Chinese does not translate into "James". Some Chinese Americans have both an "English" name and a "Chinese" name - the English name is a concession to Americanization and inability of most non-Chinese to correctly pronounce Chinese names, while a Chinese name is given as a matter of tradition and maintaining cultural heritage - Chinese names are often selected from names of famous historical figures, references to poetry/literature, or even order of birth. Sometimes a Chinese name indicates the generation within the family, as all the children born in a certain generation will carry a common Chinese character in their names... it's somewhat analogous to a family giving all their children names that begin with the letter "J" like John, Jenny, and James. See the Chinese surname article for more info --Gar2chan 11:06, 8 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The point is whereas Dukakis's name can be "rendered" in "letters" whether in Greek or in English, Yee's Chinese name cannot, because the Chinese language doesn't operate on a letter system. Yee's Chinese given name has no relationship, phonetic or semantic, to his English given name.

Also, just to complicate matters, he has sometimes been referred to as James 'Yusuf' Lee. Can anyone clarify? PatGallacher (talk) 23:01, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

When he converted to Islam, he apparently had to take on an Arabic name. I'm not sure the reason for that, but you see it in a lot of Muslim converts, who will often change their entire name (Mohammed Ali, for example). So he took on the name "Yusef", which is what the prisoners at Gitmo knew him as when he was their chaplain.Farnsworth1968 (talk) 22:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

A suggestion for "see also", but I don't quite remember it
I know that there was a similar case, which happened with some british or scotish guy (I think) who converted to islam, and eventually had some travel to Meca or some arab place, and eventually end out in Guantanamo for a few years. He eventually wrote a book about it, but I don't remember his name, the book title, and I'm not 100% sure he's from the UK. --Extremophile (talk) 20:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Why must be prisoned?
Now I'm really confused why he was arrested. Is it just because he's converted to Islam? That's really paranoid! If they really want to sweep out terrorist, just send some goddamn spies and special forces directly to the mountains at Pakistan! Omar Nasiri can do it, and he was just a civilian who's hired by DGSE! Hell now I see the point and the truth! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.152.204.92 (talk) 23:07, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
