Hawaii-based Army major convicted of having classified military documents on Cambodia

June 14, 2013 Associated Press

HONOLULU – A military jury has convicted a Hawaii-based Army officer of unauthorized possession of classified documents and giving a document with classified assessments of Cambodia to a person not entitled to have it.

A panel of seven Army officers returned the verdict Friday in the court martial of Maj. Seivirak Inson.

The jurors also convicted Inson of possessing a U.S. Pacific Command maritime strategy document and other military intelligence documents that he wasn't authorized to have.

They acquitted Inson of collecting information on service members of Cambodian descent with the intention of giving the information to Cambodian military and government officials.

Inson was formerly assigned to the U.S. Pacific Command. He's currently with the 8th Theater Sustainment Command at Fort Shafter.

The long tragedy of Cham history

“The process [‘Nam Tien’ or Vietnamese southward expansion] was well defined by Léopold Cadière in 1911: “As soon as they feel themselves able, they drive off the first inhabitants, whether in a peaceful manner, by taking over the land, clearing it and “planting the bamboo” – the hedges that to this day still surround Annamese gardens and villages – or by violence, then they fight with the Chams, destroying their temples and mutilating their statues.” In short, there was no room left for the Chams.”
