Loose Change producer and Iraq and Afghanistan veteran Korey Rowe has been arrested and handed over to military officials without bail for allegedly "deserting the Army".

According to a report in the New York Daily Star , Rowe was arrested on Monday night at a county Route 47 residence in Oneonta.

Rowe was arrested on a "military warrant" that Devlin said was brought to the attention of deputies by the Oneonta Police Department, who received information from a source outside of that department.

Rowe was living at the Route 47 home, Devlin said.

City police officials who were able to comment on the case were unavailable Tuesday night.

After deputies received the information from Oneonta police, they reached out to the Army, and officials from Fort Knox faxed a copy of the warrant, deputies said.

Arrests and court martials for deserters are incredibly rare and this appears to be an obvious case of political persecution as the Loose Change crew prepare the cinematic release of the final version of their popular documentary.

According to MSNBC , "Despite a rise in desertions from the Army as the Iraq war drags on into a fifth year, the U.S. military does almost nothing to find those who flee and rarely prosecutes those it gets its hands on."

The Army court-martialed just 5% of deserters last year, with that number dropping to just 1 per cent or less for the Navy and the Marines.

Rowe enlisted in the Army in August 2001 and left in June 2005. He has been out of the Army for over two years. He was previously arrested under similar circumstances but was immediately released.

Alex Jones interviewed Rowe at a conference in Chicago last year (watch above), during which he exposed how CNN and the military would stage photo-ops to make it appear as if Al-Qaeda members were being killed in Afghanistan, along with a host of other cover-ups and atrocities.

This will inevitably backfire on the authorities, but only if we put intense pressure on them to release Korey. Relevent phone numbers to the appear below, please be polite and ask for information on Korey Rowe and demand his release.

Some more news:

Rowe's car seen at old Griffiss base

A trip last week to film the former Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome led to the arrest of Oneonta resident Korey Rowe for allegedly deserting from the Army in 2005.

Air Force Office of Special Investigations personnel notified the Oneonta Police Department there was an outstanding desertion warrant for Rowe, city Police Lt. Cameron Allison said.

"An individual was warned about taking pictures on military property in Rome, N.Y.," Allison said Wednesday. "The vehicle was registered to Korey Rowe."

. . .

Dylan Avery, the creator of the original "Loose Change film," said he was in Rome alone to film the base and was driving the car.

The base is home to the Northeast Air Defense Sector, a component of North American Aerospace Defense Command.

Military police from Fort Drum picked Rowe up from the Otsego County jail Wednesday morning, and he was driven back to the Watertown base.

"We've talked to him. He's fine. And he should be back home soon," Avery, a childhood friend, said.

Rowe is expecting to be processed out of the Army in a week or two, he added.

"That's the impression he's getting," Avery said.

Commanders have a range of administrative, non-judicial and judicial tools at their disposal to address acts of absence without leave and desertion, according to an Army fact sheet on desertion.

"Mr. Rowe's case will follow the same procedures and policies as any other soldier," Army spokesman Anthony O'Bryant said Wednesday.

I wish they hadn't felt the need to take him away from his life like that, just to be vindictive and give him a hard time because they don't like his truth.

I don't think they did anything unusual for someone who'd deserted. There's certainly no sign in any of the news accounts that he was targeted because of his views on 9/11.

So he wasn't a political prisoner?  He was actually a deserter?  And is going to be released from his obligations to the army anyway?  Can we change the title of this thread?

Yeah, he was a deserter. This was fairly common knowledge.

Dylan Avery isn't really being "held" so much when he can hold a camera and make YouTube videos from the airport.

The latest is that he is on his way to Fort Campbell to get his discharge papers.

Interesting. Now I'm suspicious -- of Korey Rowe. First, I want to know what his real name is. I just spent a little while going through DoD discharge records and could find no record of a "Korey Rowe" at all having been discharged, honorably or otherwise, from any branch of the Armed Forces. Second, I want to see his DD-214.

So he went from "expecting to be processed out of the Army in a week or two" to already having his honorable discharge papers at arm's length for the five or six sheriffs who cut off his phone lines and came from the woods yet did not use violence in taking him in?

I hope my karma doesn't get dinged again for this.  It's been a rough week or two on the karma front, between this and the anti-vaccine crap.

Oh, they've smited me about 15 times now.

How do you "politely" "demand his release"?
When you "demand" something ... isn't there some sort of threat of action?

Some more news:

ok ....
what does "involved" mean to you? not commenting on this thread .... not promoting it .... not breaking him out of jail

[Russell Kanning]

waiting to do what?
waiting for what?

to me ... it doesn't matter why he was arrested ... I like everyone to be free
Is there a difference between being a "political prisoner" and a "deserter"?

Why would we change the name of the thread?
