North Carolina's own walking parody of U.S. foreign policy is at it again.
This time Mexico is the stage for veteran con man Jonathan Keith "Jack" Idema.
In the 1990s Idema went to prison for 58 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy and collected dozens of lesser charges such as writing worthless checks and assault on a female. Idema sued CBS and Steven Spielberg's studio, claiming a movie starring George Clooney was an unauthorized version of his life story.
Then he hightailed it to Afghanistan, where he reinvented himself for the international media as a sunglasses-wearing, AK-47-toting counterterrorism expert who boasted of shadowy U.S. and Afghan government connections. He peddled things such as body guard services and videotapes of alleged al-Qaida training exercises and was quoted in a host of admiring stories.

I love this quote:
Now local media on the Caribbean coast of Mexico is reporting that Idema is barricaded in a turreted house - which he has dubbed Casa Blanca - because police want to question him about allegations that he held a woman against her will and assaulted her, among other accusations.
Headlines in Mexico refer to Idema as Rambo, and one story notes that he now refers to himself as "Black Jack."
I'd say he is closer to Jack Black!

What a Loser! What is he going to do next, go after Mexican illegals? :rolleyes:
I was hoping we'd seen the last of this idiot but unfortunately he's like a bad venereal disease in that he just keeps popping up from time to time.

You're absolutely right. I actually knew this dirt bag (I'm being polite). I met him after he was run out of the Army/SF not knowing anything about him at the time. Long story but he is the consummate con man. After I had been around him for a short period of time I knew I didn't want to be associated with him and distanced myself as quickly as possible.
I wouldn't give the guy the sweat off my nuts if he was dying of thirst.

Well, I wonder if he is going to start running his own little jail and torture shop in the narco's AO?
I doubt that he will survive that for very long. And I will not shed many tears when he mets his inevitable fate.

I found a story on a newspaper's website about him the other day. Bacalar is some 6 hours away from where I live. Funny thing is, around here, nobody seems to care that a con man that was convicted of torture in Afghanistan is operating in their State.
...and they say ignorance is bliss :mad:

Unfortunately Bacalar is a very remote place, and the police might not give proper follow-up, but that is not for me to assume. I'll try and give some follow up on the local news and see if I find anything regarding it.
I wonder if someone with his past career would be requested quickly by the U.S. government for deportation, or left to his own luck in our judicial system. Given the replies in this post I hope its the former, our system is too corrupted to properly hand out justice....

Ex-soldier Jack Idema fights for building in court case
http://fayobserver.com/articles/2010/11/16/1048162?sac=Local
".......In her affidavit, Alesi says she thought she had married Idema in Mexico in August 2008, but now believes that the marriage was not valid under Mexican law. She says that Idema used Isabeau Dakota as a shell company to hide assets from his creditors, and that he told her that the building was a gift to her.
Alesi left Idema over the summer, according to her affidavit. She alleges he had abused her and kept her a prisoner until she was able to escape.
Idema's documents say Alesi's connection with Isabeau Dakota ended with their breakup and that she had no authority to sell the property in October. She sold the building to hurt Idema, a court order says.
Idema's affidavit says Alesi told him in late October that Hagler had threatened to hurt her if she did not sign over the building..........."
Reading the story and trying to keep up with who was who and what was what made my head hurt.

Funny you should mention that. Latest intel rumor is that Idema is HIV positive.

Forgot he was wearing sunglasses on his I.D.
Waaaay too funny.
Considering his sack of Shiite status, maybe he should have a paper sack over his head.

He was in the Q course a class ahead of me IIRC. He was someone we all avoided. That was quite an era: we had (at the same time) Idema, Steve Hatfill (formerly the original main suspect in the 2001 anthrax attacks), and Marshall Brown (the Delta Force cat burglar serial rapist) all in the same barracks.
Interesting times those.
