		Because of Ahmed's statements, his security clearance to classified information and restricted areas of the base was suspended on September 17, 2001, and he was assigned administrative duty.
		In the year before he was terminated, the disloyal Ahmed could have easily endangered American travelers' lives—something to be expected given his pro-Bin Laden, anti-American statements.

	Labor Law - Syllabus
		The Board found that White's statements in both the article and the web posting constituted "concerted activities" protected under section 7 of the Act because they were related to a "labor dispute"--in the former, to the 200-person lay-off and in the latter, to both the lay-off and the ongoing union organization drive.
		It is therefore unnecessary to decide whether the Board properly determined that White's communications constituted protected activity under the test's first prong because his statements to the reporter were related to the 200-employee lay-off and the internet posting was related to both the lay-off and the ongoing union organization drive.
		The damaging effect of the disloyal statements, made by an experienced insider at a time when EIT was struggling to get up and running under new management, is obvious from the immediate reaction of IBM's vice president, who telephoned Maines concerned about EIT's continuing ability to supply IBM's circuit board needs.

	Parker v. Levy (1974)
		134, since one of the specimen charges relates to the making of statements "disloyal to the United States." [note 38] That specification, and the brief reference to such conduct in the text of the Manual, [note 39] is itself so vague and overbroad as to have been declared unconstitutional by one federal court.
		But even if a consensus as to the meaning of the word "disloyal" were readily attainable, I am less than confident that Dr. Levy's attacks upon our Vietnam policies could be accurately characterized by such an adjective.
		In short, I think it is clear that the form specification concerning disloyal statements cannot be said to have given Levy notice of the illegality of his conduct.

		Kevin wrote one letter to Bush in Nov of 2004 but that was months after he had filed his CO application.
		However, when the Army lawyers at Ft Stewart forwarded those charges of “Disloyal Statements” to JAG (Judge Advocate General), JAG wrote back and essentially told them at FT Stewart they were out of their minds, as there was absolutely no evidence what-so-ever that Kevin had ever made a disloyal statement.
		But, and I must emphasize this, it was not until well after Kevin had filed as a CO that he started making any public statements against the war in Iraq or the Bush Administration.
