Army officer at center of new spy case (Hawaii News Now)
It’s about espionage, fraud and assault.
The federal government in Hawaii is pursuing yet another case about leaked defense secrets — this time involving a high-ranking military officer.
Major Seivirak Inson, 43, is a soldier assigned to Schofield Barracks who is a longtime Army intelligence officer who has served in Iraq.
In court martial proceedings today, military prosecutors alleged that Inson attempted to hand over a number of military secrets to members connected to the Cambodian government between 2009 and 2012.
They said that Inson — who is of Cambodian ancestry — took classified U.S. intelligence reports about the Cambodian military and gave it to unauthorized personnel.
Prosecutors said they also found military secrets illegally stored on Inson’s home computer.
One of those documents provided detailed information about the U.S. Pacific Command’s maritime strategy, prosecutors say.
Other records included emails and reports that describe sources and methods the military’s uses to obtain foreign intelligence, according to testimony provided during today’s hearing.
Military prosecutors also accused Inson of collecting data on members of the U.S. military who are of Cambodian descent. They allege that he intended to hand over that information to the Cambodian military. . .
Fallout from latest Hawaii spy scandal (Hawaii News Now)
As a high-ranking Army intelligence officer, accused spy Seivirak Inson had immense access to the military secrets of the U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii.
Now, the 43-year-old Major is facing court-martial proceeding for attempting to hand over some of those secrets to the Cambodian government.
“Potentially, there’s a lot of classified information involved because Pacom (the Pacific Command) is the tip of spear in the Pacific in terms of military operations,” said Charles Goodwin, former FBI Special Agent in Charge for Hawaii. . . .

Let him rot in jail. Suffer a thousand shame, buddha strike soul and must look at a picture of Hun Sen and Bun Rany everyday beyond his death.
He disgrace not only the uniform, but Khmer who is; has served in US military.
Lock this betraying spy rot mother fucker Khmer descendant for life!
I hate Betrayal of Conscience!!
How can some one be this stupid?
Hunsen's goverment paid him then Hunsen gave this information to his chinese's Boss to get all the money and support that he needs it. This cambodian's Army has no brain...he worked so hard in his life to get this far and he decides to go to jail. He might think that US's government stupid..
What a disgraceful he is but also the whole Khmer nationality.
Your Buddha us dead he can strike no body. If he us alive and dares to strike other human he will never be Buddha, he may be sent to hell for not being holy. There is no such thing spying for a dirty place such as Cambodia, if he spied for Yuon and China, then it makes sense.
Disgrace for Khmers? Khmers have disgraced themselves and destroyed themselves for 800 years why blaiming this man? There is nothing good from the Khmers es. the evil Buddhists. All of you are the same.
Correction to my post at 4;21
I meant "is dead" and "is alive".
DISGRACING is Khmers Culture adopting since Jayavaraman VII silently allowed Thais to settle at western region of the Khmer Empire, then he pretended to focus on Cham to show Khmers that he was nationalist.
This DISGRACING is in Khmer Buddhists blood. Hun Sen serves Yuon, Khmer King Sihamoni serves China like his father before him, so they are all the same.
It's OK for Barrack Hussen to get beat up by US government, but not the other way round?
Just calm down. If you love Barrack Hussen Obama, he is spying for the Muslim Brotherhood. No, he is allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to thrive and prosper without rein attached to them. But woes to those who dare speak ill of Islam for what they are really are.
Edward Snowden should receive the Nobel Peace Prize Award, not President Barrack Hunsen Obama.
New World Disorder Malaise
This is Hun Sen thugs's expertise.
They know how to trick and pay the people who are greedy. He paid good pays to some Americans
to betray their own people. They sold the secret documents, informations of their own associates to Hun Sen's government as these two. They are willing to commit crimes for HunSen because of money.
Thus, watch out all Americans and
Cambodian- Americans who serve Hun Sen's government to commit all crimes for them one day the
U.S. government will find the truth then you all will die or
stay in prison for life and Hun Sen and his clan sit and laugh at you all.
There is no short cut in life.....It is the law...you broke the law and you will go to jail....
For some people believe that educated person is not corrupted. If he come from Lon Nol officer family, he has corrupted DNA in his body period !!!!
These two Khmer scumbags should be sent to life in prison without parole.
These two Khmer descendant deserved to be cursed and look down by all Khmer nationality that way.... stupid you!
spousal abuse has no rights and not tolerated. cambodia should have stiff penalty to punish any kind of spousal abuse, this is both wife and husband! same with child abuse, unacceptable, period!
I THINK THIS IS A YOUN TRICK TO MAKE AMERICAN TO LOSE CONFIDENCE OVER CAMBODIA. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT CAMBODIA GOVERNMENT TODAY IS A SECRET YOUN ORGANIZATION INSIDE THAT GOVERNMENT. THEREFORE, WHAT WAS HAPPENED YOUN CONNECT TO THAT KHMER AMERICAN OFFICER TO HAVE THE INFORMATION, AND IN THE MEAN TIME RELEASE THE INFORMATION TO UNITED STATE THAT THIS SOLDIER BETRAY THE USA IN ORDER TO PROJECT THE BAD CAMBODIAN IMAGE ON THE EYES OF THE USA. THIS IS TO MAKE AMERICAN TO HAVE DISTANCE FROM CAMBODIA.
It's sad for Cambodians, you got tricked by Hun Sen. Now you are the one who get punished. This is a good lesson for the other, do not greedy and work for who help you.
youn try to knock Khmer out
All Khmers,
Hun Sen had recruited many cells
in USA such as in Lowel to spy on everything for CHINA and Vietnam.
Every KHmer communities in USA had those spying cells.
Sithan
HUN SEN son HUN MANET must be involved with those Cambodian American guys, Because HUN SEN needs Secret US military information and gave to China, HUN SEN needs Chinese money and Needs China to support him to seat on the power for the rest of his life. US court must hang those guys and asked who were involved with this case ?
Hun Sen bite the hands that feed him. Now, the US should suspend all aides to Cambodia. Completely cut all ties to the Hun Sen government.
Install CNRP as a new government and establish a US military base in Cambodia. That is the solution and the people will be very happy.
Oh how I wish.
I agree with you 100%. Yuon did it before killed many Khmers by sending signals to French to arrest those idiot Khmers who joined and served Yuon during Yuon revolution to overthrow French.
Khmers who never read the history or read the documents wrote by scholars non-Khmers, please visit Khmerization Blog and click on
JANE CADHLA, and search for Vietnamese Revolution based in Thailand.
At that time how French distrusted Yuon. but Yuon knew how to please French, million Yuon converted Christians (Catholics), and how French hated Khmers, considered Khmers as primitive stupid lazy people on earth. In spite of the world knew that Yuon are aggressive toward its neighbors, they still prefer Yuon over Khmers. I don't think any powerful develop nations would care about this small Buddhist nation such as Cambodia. Khmers were deported to Cambodia, but no Yuon ever been deported. Khmers destroyed themselves for not be willing to adopt
and adapt with this new world while Christianity is powerful.
GOD is in action. His wars against Communists now 150,000,000 Chinese are Christians, Indonesia used to have 95% Muslims now Christianity keeps rising. Millions Muslims have visions saw Christ and many experienced with supernatural healing by the living GOD.
Khmers?? Population about more than 10M, but majority are Yuon.
Buddhism and Buddhism even it has led to the collapse of the empire and now a small nation Yuon already took still refused to wake up.
Deny, deny deny ...and deny.
4:58am,
relaxe. the US used a Muslim to kill the Muslims. Prez Bush knew where Osama Bin Laden was, but the west wanted the Muslims to ease their anger to the white, the US found their man to do the Job. first Obama is black, then shut black from screaming of racist, second Obama is Muslim then the US shut the radical Muslims from yelling hating the west. Obama carried the same assignment left from Prez Bush.
The fact Obama is the right guy that the powerful MJ12 of the US put him in the White House.
Yuon will never let Khmers rise. Khmers stay as stupid Buddhists begging others to eat. Yuon and even Thailand have Roman Priests, ...Cardinals, Nuns, except Khmers and Laos.
One million monks eating and living free sucking poor people blood.
No Khmers want to sacrifice or be willing to serve GOD for the sake of Khmers and nation.
They prefer to worship IDOLATRY, and spirits.
I am NOT surprised if the US helping Yuon to take over Cambodia after Hun Sen dies.
Folks! Don't judge these two men so fast. These two are Khmer Nationalists' sympathisers. They expressed their love and concern for Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha.
Yuon are very paranoid. The US need Yuon to deal with China. I am not surprised if Yuon pressure the US to arrest Khmer nationalists' sympathisers. Remember Laos General who helped the US to fight war against Communist Ho Chi Minh? He later was arrested by the US accused of trying to overthrow New government in Laos installed by Yuon.
I do not believe these two were spies for Cambodia. It's a pretext to arrest them as they did to Laos General. You all have to understand the US foreign policy. Furthermore, this new Secretary of state is Yuon's sympathizer. Read Major Mark Smith at Zippo website described John Kerry has so much love for Yuon communist.
I Do Not believe, but the US is the powerful nation on this planet earth. No challenge Except GOD who can.
I will pray for these fine soldiers.
Continued from my post @ 2:59pm
I also dont blame the US either. To billions around the world people believe that Americans are the chosen people by God to keep this dangerous world from falling into evils. Without Americans many nations will fall to communists and Islam.
The US is the Powerful Christians nation, and their weapons are too far beyond China and Russia can reach. For the sake of its powerful nation, the US do not hesitate to sacrifice lives of their own people to maintain as powerful nation, so these two American soldiers of Cambodian ancestry are no different than million American who died or killed by for the sake of the nation.
We can only pray to God to bless and have mercy upon them.
It is sad but it's too far beyond our reach.
There will be billion lives will be perished when the calamities hit the earth.
So don't judge them for you knew nothing about what behind the curtain.
You are my hero, I am always loyal to my country Cambodia, without looking the face or the politcal background.
How about amrican spy on the Cambodian government and the Royal Cambodian military forces ?
same goes for this fool.
May be a trick used by VC to fool this clown that he is helping to dissolve Huns Sen. That is why he did it??? Who the hell know. Anyway, this is my oath. DO NOT TRUST any one. Becuase human being are first self preservation.
Khmer Inquirer
I'm Khmer people,I regret that they do like that.Before I'm proud that we have Khmer nation work high grade in USA.
Gouvernement de hun sen a revendu tous ces informations au chinois.
La réalité, Hun Sen est un grand commerçant mondial, la drogue, armes illégal, information militaires entre US et la chine, vent le pays au youn, et quoi encore??
This business must to ask Mr hun manet, because only him who has an agreement directement from his father.
To me he is a traitor and should be executed for passing classified information to foreign government, in this case is Cambodia. He escaped from his native country which mistreated him to find a better life in America. In the end, after holding the high position which his adopted country offered him he turned around and betray his adopted country that he swear under oath to defend and protect. He deserves to be executed by a firing squad. And for those who praise him as hero deserve the same fate as his.
After prison sentence this idiot should be deported back to live in Cambodia with the Commie CPP.
Bury this HoChiMinh dog now! Bastard! You son of Vietcongs whore spying on the free world--THE USA. Deport this bastard to Hanoi Hilton now!
Khmer FREEDOM Fighter!
Millions of Cambodian people fled the country because they were afraid of the killing in the communist regime in Cambodia.
As a son of one of former general in Lon Nol government, I would like to express for case in the following:
The U.S. government has helped his family to live freely in the USA and make his career brightly, but now he is betraying his own motherland (USA). As a traitor in the old military court, he had to be sentenced to death. Now, for 10 years behind bars for him is so little, at least must be 30 years. Roger
I Do Not Believe that these Two men are spies for Hun Sen. Why? They knew Hun Sen works for Yuon. Their presence in South east Asia threstst Yuon and Hun Sen. Because these American soldiers are Opposition's Sympathisers. Hun Sen and Yuon knew an easy way to destroy these two men by pressure the US, and the only one thing soldiers can be arrested is SPY.
4;38am
King Jayavaraman VII was the real creator of Thailand & Laos Nations. Khmer Buddhists wrote all lies about his real espionage career, but instead Khmer Buddhists made him the greatest King.
Khmer. Buddhists are the most evil destroyers of the great Khmer civilization until now we Khmers lost the last small piece of land to Yuon.
Khmers were severely punished by God especially in Pol Pot regime. Come out from Pol Pot Khmers are getting more evils than ever. before. Mocking the living God, now Khmers are under Yuon forever.
If these Khmers dont believe that God is the living God, then they can search
"Many Muslims saw or have Visions or dreams with Christ" then they will be shocked seeing million Muslims around the world encountered with the living God/Christ. Salvation only through Christ if these Khmers want to free themselves from Satan of 800 years sufferings by curse.
I do not believe in spy by these two men, but I believe Viets and Hun Sen have something to do for fear of opposition protest that these two men may be behim helping the opposition.
Yet in military the only crime they can
arrest is SPY.
If these two are Christians of Roman Catholic, you will hear Pope Francis pledges the US to spare them, but since Khmers are anti-God/Christ, the destruction upon Khmer Buddhists won't stop.
This is the outcome for and when you serve CPP Hun Sen. Will Hun Sen go to goal for him?
So those CPP supporters who does everything for Hun Sen and/or CPP watch out...
