Guantanamo prisoner's LeBron James note held as top secret

Chris Chase, USA TODAY Sports
LeBron James at Philips Arena on October 7, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia.

"The Decision" and opinions about it are treated as top secret at Guantanamo Bay, according to a military defense lawyer.

Navy Lieutenant Commander Kevin Bogucki said Tuesday that one of his clients, former CIA captive Muhammad Rahim, wrote a note about LeBron James in 2010 that was given Top Secret designation for two months.

"LeBron James is a very bad man," Bogucki quoted the note as saying, according to Reuters. "He should apologize to the city of Cleveland."

Bogucki used the example to demonstrate the stringent security restrictions at Guantanamo. Anything written or spoken by captives is treated as classified.

We don't wade into politics or national security matters in these parts, unless it's to make fairly obvious sports analogies. (Dems say Obama had a Peyton-like comeback! GOP claims Candy Crowley's time management skills make her a candidate to replace Andy Reid!) You won't find any opinions on Guantanamo or military tribunals or anything like that. But when CIA prisoners call LeBron James a "bad man" for taking his talents to South Beach, we have to take notice. It's blogger law.

The irony is, a CIA terror suspect will never agree with Americans more than when criticizing LeBron in 2010. Those sentiments were shared by nearly everybody, Miami Heat fans excluded. Can you imagine if the prisoner had said something controversial, like "Lance Armstrong is really getting a bad rap." They'd have stuck that note in the file cabinet along with Roswell and the Kennedy Assassination.
