Is this the guy I thinking of or is this someone else?

Sounds like Keith Idema to me.

I was thinking the same thing but was unable to find anything on a "Jonathan". Even using the name in the search string was bringing up loads of Keith Idema.

Probably the same guy, using his middle name or an AKA. How many former SF guys named Idema are running around Afghanistan?

I remember there was quit a bit of dicussion on this guy in the SF forum on the other side.

J. (or Jack) Keith Edema, he usually goes by.

Wouldn't expect the Afghan police to know that.

Sounds like the Afghan Police got an "Anonamous" tip.

Maybe someone was tired of him in there AO?

I hope they keep him for a while.

There aren't many Americans that should rot in a foreign jail. Idema however, should.

HOT DAMN THEY GOT HIM
 

When I was up in Bagram, I saw a wanted poster for this jack-ass hanging up in the chow hall. It said that he was posing as a US Army Major. I'm glad the Afghani's got him and I hope they don't extradite him.

Hope he likes being some haji's bitch.

Guess he shouldn't count on TF coming to get him out.

I've done the google thing but found nothing. At the risk of sounding stupid, who is this guy?

MP Wanted poster

Well hold onto your hat and strap this search on.

Thanks

Okay, read the first page of links. Other than being a person who talks about himself a lot, I noticed that he was refused re-enlistmen. Is this something that we can talk about here?

Do a search at SOCNet. Several people there knew him pretty well.

I met him a few times, he seemed pretty full of himself. At that time, he ran a tactical nylon company named "Idema Combat Systems".

He was convicted of wire fraud and incarcerated, claimed that he was set up.

He also claimed to be able to clear Colonel Maracek of his murder charge.

He went into Afghanistan early on, got with Robin Moore, you should be able to find him ICW that book as well.

Recently, rumors were that he was cruising Afghanistan claiming to be an Army Major. I believe he separated from the Reserves as an SF E-7 or so.

How was that?
