WASHINGTON - An Arizona Army National Guardsman whose Web log comments have criticized the Iraq war and who has filed papers to run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Jon Kyl, is the subject of a military investigation in Iraq, the Army said Tuesday.

What exactly Leonard A. Clark is being investigated for is unclear. Clark, 40, of Glendale, is a kindergarten teacher, activist and perennial candidate for public office, and holds the rank of specialist in Arizona's 860th Military Police Company.

"Specialist Clark is under investigation, but not under arrest," confirmed Army Capt. Patricia Brewer, a spokeswoman with the military's combined press information office in Baghdad. She said no other details were available regarding Clark from the 42nd Military Police Brigade's Judge Advocate General's office.

6. "What exactly Leonard A. Clark is being investigated for is unclear."

I'm thinking conspiracy to run against a Republican incumbent and criminal intent to disemminate the truth about conditions in Iraq.

7. Did the freepers have anything to do with this?

Remember the "list" they came up with prior to the last election? They were calling military units advising them that their members were active in "left wing" organizations.
