Armed pair held at Central Command base - CNN.com
They were stopped at the gate and car searched when they could not provide proper identification. Found military style uniforms and rifles in the car.

I wonder if they are muslim and if so, how long the media will try to hide the fact.

They didn't release their names. If they're charged with a crime then their names would be a matter of public record along with their mug shot photos. You can bet military investigation authorities are sifting through this couple's life with a fine tooth comb before even thinking about releasing them.

I commend the sentries for doing what is otherwise the mundane job of checking ID's at the gate. Every single time I've passed through those gates I thank my lucky stars that its not me performing that duty. A job that would seem to breed complacency was nicely done by these guys. Another well-done by our American heroes!
