On March 9, 2016 I was detained, handcuffed and interrogated by 8 NSA Police at Ft. Meade. I was on
my way to Washington, D.C. and stopped on the way to get some photos. I saw a sign for the NSA
Museum and pulled up to the guard gate to ask directions. They asked for Identification and asked me
to pull into the barracks, the next thing I know they ask me to step out of my car. They even dog sniffed
my car. They told me that I am no longer allowed on federal property and advised me to turn around
and not continue on to D.C
I must tell you of an experience I had in 2006. I remember I was standing in my living room at 220
Stone Hill Road, Conestoga, Pa, and , of course I was telepathic 24/7 since 2005, all of a sudden i began
to receive telepathic communications in Chinese. It only lasted for about 2 minutes. Then about 4 weeks
ago my computer screen turned into all Chinese letters and such. Do you think the Chinese could be
attacking me along with the Americans and the purpose of the computer screen going into Chinese was
to sort of let the Americans know that they are using this technology on Americans, since there is no
way to trace the source?
I have been the victim of a widespread civil and criminal conspiracy that dates back to 1987, made up of
the very same actors that Kathleen Kane is up against, the "good old boys". In 1987 I blew the whistle
on a local company, International Signal & Control, or ISC, that was indicted for selling arms and
weapons to Iraq via South Africa with the aid and support of the CIA and the NSA. It was the 3rd largest

white collar crime at that time, valued at $1 Billion Dollars. I was the victim of a widespread wholesale
cover-up through an elaborate slander campaign that included 29 false arrests, multiple false
imprisonments, and a fabricated mental illness record that to this day is still resonating.
For the record, I founded a financial firm in the 1980's that reached 5 states and raised some 90 million
dollars in a matter of 9 months. In the late 1980's and early 1990's I was one of 5 domestic companies
that had the capabilities of manufacturing CDROM's that included a client list that reached across the
globe and included government agencies and fortune 500 companies.

What We Do

ICE's primary mission is to promote homeland security and public safety through the criminal and
civil enforcement of federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration.
This mission is executed through the enforcement of more than 400 federal statutes and focuses
on smart immigration enforcement, preventing terrorism and combating the illegal movement of
people and goods.

Immigration Enforcement
Immigration enforcement is the largest single area of responsibility for ICE. While certain responsibilities
and close cooperation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services, and others require significant ICE assets near the border, the majority of immigration
enforcement work for ICE takes place in the countrys interior.

ICE special agents strive to help businesses secure a lawful workforce and enforce immigration laws
against those who encourage and rely on unauthorized workers, sometimes taking advantage of their
situation to offer low pay and inadequate conditions.
Multiple programs help ICE focus and improve on stated priorities to find and remove illegal aliens who
are criminals, fugitives or recent arrivals. Immigration enforcement entails cracking down on those who
produce fraudulent documents to enable unlawful activity. Additionally, several robust efforts seek to
continue improving the safe and humane detention and removal of persons subject to those actions.
Browse through the Immigration Enforcement category of the What We Do drop-down menu to learn
more.

Investigating Illegal Movement of People and Goods


ICE special agents, officers and attorneys enforce provisions of approximately 400 federal statutes. This
large and diverse body of laws is reflected in the wide array of offices, programs and projects that make
up ICE. People are smuggled and trafficked, while children are sexually exploited at home and abroad.
Illegal trade, in a very general sense, predominately involve guns, money and drugs, but ICEs
responsibilities extend much further into all kinds of illegal and counterfeit merchandise coming into the
country. For instance, ICEs responsibilities include the repatriation of cultural treasures out of the
country to original owners abroad, and combatting the trade of child pornography and much more.
Browse through the Investigating Illegal Movement of People and Goods category of the What We Do
drop-down menu to learn more.

Preventing Terrorism
Most ICE offices and programs have a role in preventing terrorism. Several are on the front lines of this
effort, either identifying dangerous persons before they enter the U.S. or finding them as they violate
immigration or customs laws. ICE also works to prevent the illegal export of U.S. technology that could
be used or repurposed to do harm.

BREAKING NEWS
ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP Releases Stan J. Caterbone's International
Signal & Control or ISC Whistleblowing History and Mind Control Relationships
Document of September 21, 2015. This is an all-inclusive document that provides
the evidence beyond a preponderance of doubt to prove the following (download in
pdf format on scribd for bookmarks). Turn to the ISC Timeline of Events and the
Lancaster Newspapers ISC Archives for a synopsis of events. The following is
proven:

Stan J. Caterbone was a Federal Whistleblower in 1987 regarding ISC

The 29 False Arrests and Prosecutorial Misconduct that Stan J. Caterbone was
subject to in 1987 through 2015 was an effort to cover-up the allegations
made by Stan J. Caterbone in the Spring and Summer of 1987 after the
Meeting of June 23, 1987 with ISC and United Chem Con Executive Larry
Resch.

The ISC Fraud and Sales of Arms to Iraq Story by the ABC News Nightline
with Ted Koppel and the Financial Times of London in May, July, and
September of 1991 was most likely initiated by Lancaster Newspapers
reporter Thomas Flannary.

Thomas Flannary's mysterious death in February of 2004 was either murder


by poison or was a cover story to hide the fact that he was a CIA operative
used to control the flow of information, disinformation, and propaganda. It is
highly subject that he began his career with Lancaster Newspapers in 1987
and is not a native Lancastrian.

The ISC merger was not completed until December of 1987, 3 months after
the False Arrests of Stan J. Caterbone.

The official meeting with the Pennsylvania Securities Commission Agent


Howard Eisler in September of 1987, which was solicited by Agent Eisler was
an effort to illegally interrogate Stan J. Caterbone without a legal subpoena.

In the months after the June 23, 1987 meeting with ISC Executive Larry
Resch Stan J. Caterbone had personally solicited a vast array of local, state,
and federal officials, including the FBI and Congressman Robert Walker, PA
State Representative Gibson Armstrong for assistance in the retaliation and
slander campaign that was in progress.

There is credible linkage between the ISC Scandal, U.S. Sponsored Mind
Control, Stan J. Caterbone's family VICTIMIZATION of the same, and the
participation of LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

The Zook Murder Appeal proves that Lancaster County Detective Michael
Landis, Judge James Cullen, and Judge Farina of the Lancaster County Court
of Common Pleas were all involved in U.S. Sponsored Mind Control before
2004 and before Stan J. Caterbone went public with his VICTIMIZATION of
U.S. Sponsored Mind Control.

Bobby Ray Inman, former director of the National Security Agency (NSA) was
on the Board of Directors of ISC and was involved in U.S. Sponsored Mind
Control Technologies through his company S.A.I.C. Corporation. Bobby Ray
Inman would later be selected by Former President Bill Clinton for his Director
of Defense, but would later remove himself due to allegations and public
scrutiny for his role in the ISC scandal.

In the Fall of 1991 Robert Gates was nominated for Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) and during his televised confirmation hearings the
was subject to brutal array of questions concerning his participation in the ISC
scandal. He went on to be nominated and later would serve both the Bush
Administrations and the Obama Administrations as Secretary of Defense until
resigning in 2011.

There have been at least 3 documented attempts on the life of Stan J.


Caterbone; 1987, 1991, and 2004, all attempts at vehicular homicide.
Thomas P. Caterbone's passing in 1996 was the result of a wrongful death
claim by Fulton Bank. Samuel A. Caterbone was most likely an MKULTRA
murder tactic in Santa Barbara, California on December 25, 1984. Samuel P.
Caterbone was most likely the result of an MKULTRA murder tactic on July 20,
2001 in New York city.

The above finding of facts and evidence corroborates a vast conspiracy and
criminal enterprise that violates both civil and criminal RICO statutes and
antitrust statutes.

The above would constitute treble damages for Stan J. Caterbone and
Advanced Media Group in U.S. District Courts, specifically in the Eastern
District for Pennsylvania Case No. 05-2288, 06-4650, 14-02559, and other
related cases; and Case No. 08-13373 in the Lancaster County Court of
Common Pleas.

HISTORY
In 1987 Stan J. Caterbone went public with allegations of fraud within International Signal
and Control, or ISC as they were commonly referred.

After discussions with ISC and United

Chem Con officials (an ISC/James Guerin straw company), and as a shareholder of record since
1983 of ISC, Stan J. Caterbone had a meeting with an ISC executive on June 23, 1987, which
resulted in a 22 year legal odyssey. The discussions involved a joint venture with his company,
Financial Management Group, Ltd., or FMG, Ltd., but ended in disclosure of his recent public
allegations of fraud. Four years later, ISC founder and chairman James Guerin, and other officials
and companies pleaded guilty to a $1 Billion Dollar Fraud and export violations including the
selling of arms through South Africa to Iraq and Sadaam Hussein.

However, money, power,

influence and public corruption had been used to cover-up the activities and Federal False Claims
Act violations of Stan J. Caterbone for the next eighteen years. There ensued a total blockade of
all United States Courts for all redress and remedy available in accordance with federal, state, and
local laws.

This included recovery of his business interests; intellectual property; real estate;

personal and business real property; his unblemished and impressive reputation; and his most
valuable asset - the ability to produce income. This might be legally referred to as the Right-ToWork under federal statutes.

Notwithstanding, Stan J. Caterbone has never made a bad

investment or developed a business that did not make a profit over the next 22 years.

This

includes two real estate properties that were illegally seized through foreclosure proceedings.

Since 1987 Stan J. Caterbone has been a prisoner and enemy of the state.

ISC was a

Department of Defense (DOD) Contractor and a partner with United States Intelligence Agencies
since it's beginings in the early 1970's. One of it's first contracts was Project X with the National
Security Agency or NSA of Ft. Meade, Maryland.
In summary, the following are facts and
INTERNATIONAL SIGNAL & CONTROL OR ISC:

part

of

the

public

record

regarding

Once the third (3rd) largest employer in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with
over 5,000 employees.

James Guerin, founder and CEO was once the largest philanthropist to charitable
organizations in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The ISC/Ferranti Scandal was the third (3) largest white-collar fraud within the United
States as of 1992.

The following are some of the public officials and politicians associated with ISC:
George H.W. Bush, former U.S. President, and Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA).

Robert Gates, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and current
Secretary of Defense.

Bobby Ray Inman, former Board of Directors if ISC, former Director of the NSA, and
currently associated and directly involved with Mind Control Research organizations.

Alexander Haig, former U.S. Secretary of State, and ISC lobbyist and Board of Directors?

Joseph McDade, former Pennsylvania House of Representative and Chair of the


Appropriations Committee who was later investigated for the United Chem Con scandal.

Carlos Cardoen/Cardoen Industries, a joint venture partner with ISC and arms
merchant for the cluster bomb who eventually sold to Iraq and other Middle Eastern
Countries under U.S. sanctions.

ISC was credited with the design of the cluster bomb, and has patents filed in the U.S.
Patent Office.

In 1987 ISC completed the merger with the 3rd largest defense contractor of Great
Britain, Ferranti International; who paid $1 billion dollars for ISC and all of it's subsidiaries.

ABC News/Financial Times aired 3 episodes on ABC Nightline with Ted Koppel regarding
the ISC/CIA defense weapons; technologies; and cluster bombs to Iraq story and lead into
the allegations that then nominee for the Director of CIA Robert Gates was involved with
ISC and the selling of arms to Iraq.

ABC News 20/20 aired a story on the ISC/CIA efforts to sell cluster bombs to Saadam
Hussein and Iraq on February 1, 1991 days after the start of the Persian Gulf War I, with
the initial bombing raid destroying a cluster bomb factory built in Iraq by Carlos Cardoen.

On July 1st and 2nd of 1987 Stan J. Caterbone solicited the legal counsel of Lancaster
Attorney Joseph Roda for counsel regarding, FMG, Ltd., International Signal & Control
(ISC); Commonwealth Bank, etc., and was billed for his services. Joseph Roda did
absolutely nothing but refute Stan J. Caterbone's claims and would not believe him.

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas), Lancaster


Attorney Joseph Roda represented William Clark, ISC's in-house legal counsel, and never
mentioned any conflict to Stan J. Caterbone in 1987.
In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas), James
Guerin deposited $1.75 million dollars into an escrow account at Fulton Bank, Lancaster,
County.

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas),


Christopher Underhill of Harman, Underhill & Brubaker, represented James Guerin. In
2005 Christopher Underhill represented the Manheim Township Police Department (05-cv2288 U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania) CATERBONE v. Lancaster
County Prison, et. al.,

Fitzpatrick.

THE MANIFEST OF A COVER-UP


Not only did the allegations of fraud within ISC have to be silenced at a time when merger
negotiations were ongoing with Ferranti, but all of the fraud; extortion; public corruption;
burglaries; civil rights violations; anti-trust and intellectual property right violations; lender
liability torts; false arrests; false imprisonments; as well as other civil and criminal activities had
to be covered up and buried in bureaucratic red tape.
uncovered and discovered to this day.

Information and findings are still being

Contrary to popular belief, up until 1996 a grand jury

investigation into ISC was still ongoing. It is not known whether it has closed or not. All of these
activates constitute a RICO crime due to the pattern and organization of the perpetrators. The
pattern and source of the activities can be traced back to 1987, with subgroups changing over
time, but still engaging in the same practices. The following plan of action was followed in order
to perpetrate the cover-up:

Totally discredit Stan(ley) J. Caterbone and any and all allegations in every way
possible.

Fabricate a history of mental illness.

Fabricate a criminal record.

Attach his character and honesty with rumors and propaganda.

Extort and maintain his net worth to $ zero or load him with debts.

Keep him out of any profession and or occupation when and where possible.

Totally isolate him and disenfranchise him from his friends, colleagues, and family
into a life of solitaire.

Somehow persuade the community of Lancaster County to buy into this plan of
action through money, favors, etc.,

Always keep attorneys and anyone remotely involved with the legal community
away at times when efforts for justice are pursued.

When attempts to enter the U.S. legal system arise, isolate, harass, and extort any
monies and/or possessions of value.

Change the history of events and the truth.

THE COURTS AND THE UNITED STATES LEGAL SYSTEM


For eighteen years, (from 1987 until 2005) it has always been fairly easy to keep these
issues from court dockets and judges. During these years Stan J. Caterbone had solicited at least
twenty attorneys, some from large firms with national recognition in their respective fields of
specialties. Attorneys from New York City to Santa Barbara and San Diego California were visited
and consulted as well as a group of ex FBI agents who specialized in white collar crime that are
now globally recognized. However, the money and influence of persons and entities that wanted
these issues silence always prevailed. The issues were so complex and convoluted, and involved
such high profile politicians and U.S. agencies, it was far easier to state that there was no case, or
their were no claims that would result in remedy or redress. Between the Republican Party and
the Department of Defense, the CIA and the NSA, there was not an attorney that could not be
influenced. The obstruction of justice and due process in this case is most likely unprecedented in
nature and in malice.

However in 2005 that all changed when Stan J. Caterbone appeared as a pro se litigant
representing himself, without any counsel, in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania in CATERBONE v. The Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or case no. 05-cv2288.

This case is still not settled and has been withdrawn by plaintiff Stan J.

Caterbone in October of 2008 after a successful ruling in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of
Appeals (07-4474) in September of 2008. The case will be continued upon the security
of evidence and the cease and desist of obstruction of justice and due process. On May
16, 2005 at the Federal Courthouse in Philadelphia, Stan J. Caterbone filed the case under seal.
One week later in the United States Bankruptcy Court for Eastern Pennsylvania in Reading,
Pennsylvania, again appearing as pro se, Stan J. Caterbone filed a petition for protection under
the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Code, in case no. 05-23059.

These acts of entering the United States legal system with these issues triggered yet
another round of attempts to keep these cases from the courts and judges - Organized Stalking
with Directed Energy Devices and Weapons, built on a foundation of mental telepathy or total
Mind Control.

REMOTE VIEWING; ORGANIZED STALKING; DIRECTED ENERGY DEVICES AND


WEAPONS.
Organized stalking and harassment began in 1987 following the public allegations of fraud
within ISC. This organized stalking and harassment was enough to drive an ordinary person to
suicide. As far back as the late 1980's Stan J. Caterbone knew that his mind was being read, or

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

Monday, September 21, 2015

"remotely viewed". This was verified and confirmed when information only known to him, and
never written, spoken, or typed, was repeated by others. In 1998, while soliciting the counsel of
Philadelphia attorney Christina Rainville, (Rainville represented Lisa Michelle Lambert in the Laurie
Show murder case), someone introduced the term remote viewing through an email. That was
the last time it was an issue until 2005. The term was researched, but that was the extent of the
topic.

Remote Viewers may have attempted to connect in a more direct and continuous way

without success.

In 2005 the U.S. sponsored mind control turned into an all-out assault of mental
telepathy; synthetic telepathy; and pain and torture through the use of directed energy devices
and weapons that usually fire a low frequency electromagnetic energy at the targeted victim.
This assault was no coincidence in that it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action
in U.S. District Court, or CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288.

This

assault began after the handlers remotely trained Stan J. Caterbone with mental telepathy. The
main difference opposed to most other victims of this technology is that Stan J. Caterbone is
connected 24/7 with a person who declares that she is Interscope recording artist Sheryl Crow of
Kennett Missouri. Stan J. Caterbone has spent 3 years trying to validate and confirm this person
without success. Most U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to cooperate, and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office refuse to comment.

See attached documents for

more information.

In 2006 or the beginning of 2007 Stan J. Caterbone began his extensive research into
mental telepathy; mind control technologies; remote viewing; and the CIA mind control program
labeled MK ULTRA and it's subprograms.

FAMILY HISTORY
If you listen to the propaganda machine and the community of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, including professionals, the family history of Stan J. Caterbone goes something like
the following:

Father, Samuel Caterbone, Jr., Schizophrenic who ran out on his family because
of nervous breakdowns while trying to run a small dry cleaning business.

He

traveled the world looking for the Blessed Mother Mary and Space Aliens. He ended
up living in government subsidized housing broke and with a severe mental illness.

Brother, Samuel A. Caterbone, suffered from the very same illness has his
father, Schizophrenia, who finally killed himself trying to live in California.

Brother, Thomas W. Caterbone, suffered from the very same mental illness as
his brother, Stan J., Bipolar Mood Disorder, who ran a lawn business and finally
committed suicide at an early age.

Stan J. Caterbone, suffered from Bipolar Mood Disorder, or Manic Depression and
had a nervous breakdown in 1987 trying to compete in the financial services
industry.

When he has his nervous breakdowns, he always threatens to sue

everyone in court and is deeply paranoid in thinking the whole world is against him.
He always spends all of his money during his fits of mania and has delusions about
his success as a businessman.

The Family History was formulated back in the 1960's when Samuel Caterbone, Jr.,
father of Stan J. Caterbone, became engaged in a black budget mind control program that began
during his service in the United States Navy as a radioman and air gunner.

Samuel Caterbone,

Jr., was most likely a direct product of MK ULTRA or one of it's subprograms. His brother, Samuel
A. Caterbone, was most likely part of the LSD experiments of MK ULTRA. Stan J. Caterbone is
most likely part of a program sponsored by the Department of Defense Agencies, such as DARPA
or the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The facts of Stan J. Caterbone's intimate discussions
with both his father and brother over the years before they died, the totality of documents that
were preserved in thier estate, including service records; letters; official court papers; high school
documents; and the like - all will prove that they were in fact part of MK ULTRA or one of it's
subprograms.

The following are the facts and the real record of the family history:

Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., (Father) served in the Navy from 1943 to 1946 and
graduated with honors from Air Gunners School in Jacksonville, Florida. He was an exceptional
student/athlete while attending Lancaster Catholic High School, participating in the band as well
as sports. He was also his senior class secretary/treasurer. After the Navy, he went on to build a
successful dry cleaning business, which he is credited with inventing a filtration system for the
solvents.

He also developed a very good investment in real estate along the Manheim Pike,

owning several properties. By his own writings and from his personal accounts to me, he was
definitely a remote viewer for some U.S. Agency with telepathic abilities.

His viewing is

documented to have begun back in the early 1970's. He also suffered from organized stalking,
and was considered an enemy and prisoner of the state.

Back in the 1960's, he was a world

traveler, this is documented by his passports. Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., may have been a covert
carrier for someone in intelligence. Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., had his mental health history laced
with electro shock therapy.

Electro Shock Therapy Experiments is another subprogram of MK

ULTRA. In addition, and especially disturbing is his criminal record with the Lancaster City Police
Department and the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. In 1973 Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr.
was convicted of forging a 2 checks from the Caterbone Cleaners, Inc., checking account. The
one check to Joe the Motorists Store at the Manor Shopping Center was never entered into
evidence, it was for a total of $70.00.

The other check was made out to Lancaster Attorney

James Coho for $200.00 with "divorce proceedings" written in the memo.
criminal record.

This was his only

Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., was sentenced to one year probation by President

Judge William Johnstone.

However, on August 29, 1973 after nine months, Judge Johnstone

wrote an ORDER releasing him from probation and ordering him to "leave the vicinity of the
County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania". The President Judge of Lancaster County Court of Common
Pleas literally threw my father out of Lancaster County for forging 2 checks from his own
corporation. In 1987 I was arrested for stealing my own files from my own company, Financial
Management Group, Ltd., You can research the life of Candy Jones and Kate O'Brien to learn more
on this topic. Samuel Caterbone, Jr., has left enough writings and documentation to know that his
life fits the model for targeted individuals, complete with economic ruin, isolation, disenfranchised
from family and friends, and of course a fabricated mental illness history. You can view most of
his record online.

Samuel A. Caterbone, (Brother) served in the United States Air Force in 1968 to 1970.
In 1991, Stan J. Caterbone accused the United States Government of using his brother, Samuel A.
Caterbone for part of the LSD experiments on mind control, or MK ULTRA. A notarized letter of
October 23, 1991 was sent certified mail to the California Attorney General on the subject matter,
with a return letter from the California Attorney General on January 14, 1992.

By his own

admission before his death, Samuel A. Caterbone disclosed to Stan J. Caterbone of the "bad LSD"
trips while in the Air Force. Since his death of December 25, 1984, Stan J. Caterbone and others
questioned the classification of suicide, and made allegations of foul play that was ultimately
responsible for his death. Finally in a meeting in Santa Barbara, California with the Santa Barbara
Public Guardian's Office, an office admitted that the death was more likely due to foul plan than
suicide.

Samuel A. Caterbone was also an exceptional student and athlete while attending

Lancaster Catholic High School.

After playing varsity football as a sophomore, he had an

unfortunate accident while deer hunting the following November.

While in the woods in

Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, his hunting pants caught fire trying to stay warm.

It left him in the

Lancaster General Hospital for months, going through painful skin grafts and isolation.

The

Monday, September 21, 2015

hunting accident interrupted his athletic career and scared his legs for life.

The Schizophrenia

diagnosis was a combination of LSD flashbacks and organized stalking and harassment.
Thomas P. Caterbone, (Brother) had an unfortunate transaction at Fulton Bank that set
a course of action that resulted in a suicide. Although diagnosed with Bipolar Disease and Manic
Depression -- embezzled and extorted monies were most likely the reason for his suicide in 1996.
Fulton Bank was involved in a fraud that took $72,000 from a real estate settlement closing and
lead to his total financial ruin and collapse in June of 1995. The funds were never recovered and
Fulton Bank is a defendant for a wrongful death claim in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania in CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., 05-cv-2288.
FULTON BANK triggered a severe and lethal death blow to Thomas P. Caterbone, and as of this
day has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing or remorse. Thomas P. Caterbone was also an
exceptional athlete. Playing for Lancaster Catholic High School, Franklin and Marshall College, the
Harrisburg Patriots, and even the Philadelphia Eagles. Tom also coached football at J.P. McCaskey
and Franklin and Marshall College.

Thomas P. Caterbone had a very successful lawn and

landscaping business before joining forces with John DePatto of United Financial Services and
selling residential mortgages.

John DePatto was the former head of Parent Bank, owned by

James Guerin and ISC. Parent Bank, owned by ISC also foreclosed on 2323 New Danville Pike,
Conestoga, Pennsylvania in 1988, which was owned by Stan J. Caterbone. Thousands of dollars
of equity was extorted in the process, despite still being short sold for a profit to Mr. Keith
Kirchner, an executive of Lancaster Newspapers and former graduate of Lancaster Catholic High
School.

Stan J. Caterbone is a remote viewer, is telepathic, and a federal whistleblower with an


exceptional entrepreneurial record in spite of all of his adversaries and their assaults. In spite of
the U.S. Sponsored mind control and torture, he has endured and will prevail. Legally, Stan J.
Caterbone has been able to preserve his claims, and progress his legal challenges and claims
through both the federal and state court system appearing pro se, without the aid or expense of
additional legal counsel. Some of his claims and briefs will most likely be landmark decisions in
years to come. Stan J. Caterbone was a 2-Sport MVP at Lancaster Catholic High School, in both
football and track. Stan J. Caterbone never received less than a B grade in his four years of high
school and had an 87+ average. Stan J. Caterbone excelled in computer technologies, taking his
first full term course in 1975, while in high school and continuing into college at Millersville
University, graduating with a degree in business administration in 1980.

Stan J. Caterbone

excelled profoundly at building his companies, first beginning with Financial Management Group,
Ltd., then working with Tony Bongiovi of Power Station Studios and the "Digital Movie"; then
building Advanced Media Group, Ltd..

Over the years, despite the illegal seizures and

foreclosures, Stan J. Caterbone has amassed a portfolio of impressive real estate deals that have

always paid off in profits, no matter how or when they were sold.
businesses.

The same was true of his

Financial Management Group, Ltd., was a $20,000 dollar investment in 1986 and

was still sold for approximately $100,000 two years later, despite the false arrests and the
extortion of most of it's real value and equity.

The mental health history and the criminal records were completely fabricated, and a
close review and investigation into the actual court records and hospital records can prove that in
very short fashion.

There are TWO (2) ways to quickly dispute the Mental Health History and

Record:
One - Review the word "Delusional; delusions; etc.,;

every instance of the word

used by mental health professionals, and the false reports by friends and family were associated
with facts, and matters of the official record, the complete opposite of the meaning of the word
"delusional". And they still exist to this very day.
Two - Review the 3 Fabricated Suicide Allegations of the following dates: August
10(?), 1987 at Burdette Tomlin Hospital (Cape May County New Jersey); February 18th(?), 2005
by Kerry Egan and the Southern Regional Police Department; and July 19, 2009 for the 302
Commitment by the Lancaster City Police Department at Lancaster General Hospital.
The Criminal Record is very similar, since 1987 Stanley J. Caterbone has had 31 false
arrests; formal charges and convictions dismissed prior to court proceedings or won on summary
appeals in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania; most of which Stan J. Caterbone appearing as
pro se (representing himself). These have resulted in civil complaints filed in 2008 in CATERBONE
v. The County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania.

THE PUBLIC RECORD


The Public Record is comprised of court filings and exhibits in U.S. Federal Courts;
Pennsylvania State Courts; and the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. In all some 40,000
pages of documents are now filed and electronically scanned or microfilmed in prothonotary
offices. In addition in both the U.S. Federal Courts and the Lancaster County Court of Common
Pleas there are more than 11 hours of audio recordings; some 3,000 scanned images; and
several video broadcasts of the ISC News broadcasts all stored on a CD-ROM and filed as an
exhibit to some of the law suits filed by Stan J. Caterbone and Advanced Media Group, as
plaintiffs. Stan J. Caterbone has over 100 court docket sheet numbers in federal, state, and local
courts.

There are also Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation records; Department of Welfare


and Lancaster County Assistance Office records; Local Real Estate Tax records; Lancaster County

Assistance Office records; Local Real Estate Tax records; Lancaster County Tax Assessment
records; Samuel Caterbone Cleaners, Inc., corporate records; Real Estate Deeds and Mortgages;

DOCUMENTS ATTACHED FOR REVIEW


** It is important to note that as of this writing, Remote Viewing has recently
been commercialized by corporate America, and certain Fortune 500 companies are
using Remote Viewers as consultants for trend analysis and market forecasts. This is
often the evolution of most technologies born out of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Top Secret experiments and the resulting technological advancements can stay
secretive for so long.

This has recently been used in a NBC story of the Television

drama "Medium" this last season.

On July 9, 2008 I had recorded an AM radio live

broadcast on WHAN Coast to Coast with a guest that was one of the leading Physicist
turned Remote Viewer and expert that testified to this same notion.

AFFIDAVIT

I, Stanley J. Caterbone, Targeted Individual or TI, residing at: 1250 Fremont Street,
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 17603, do hereby state that I am at least 18 years of age, that I am
a citizen or a legal resident of the United States of America, that I am of sound mind, and that I
am the person whose signature follows on this Affidavit. The purpose of this document is (1) to
advise Congress as well as state and local officials of organized stalking and electronic and mind
manipulation torture being committed against me and (2) to request a state, local, or
Congressional investigation and hearing on the use of remotely-operated directed energy attacks
and mind control technologies on Americans in this country.
Our Government is responsible for protecting its citizens from elements that
covertly harass, torment, murder, and cause victims to commit suicide through
organized stalking and remote electronic torture. Yet, unbiased research indicates that
certain elements of Government either engage in these activities or protect those who perform
them. I seek the complete dismantling of any officially-sanctioned covert Government torture
programs, the passage of legislation specifically outlawing that high-tech torture, and the full
prosecution of any person, regardless of his rank or position, who has violated my civil rights and
my most basic human rights. The assaults on my mind and body have been occurring for 24
year(s) and include, but are not limited to the following victimization's:

1.

Blanketing my dwelling and surroundings with electromagnetic energy.


Bombarding my body with debilitating electronic and mind manipulation effects.
Directed Energy Weapons Causing Severe Pain to Body and Brain. Began in at least 2005
and still continuing, with complaints to Freedom From Covert Harassment and Surveillance, FFCHS
in 2009, and in cited in various state and federal court cases over the past several years.
Attacks causing severe artificial pain most likely from Directed Energy Devices synchronized with
telepathic harassment and organized stalking and harassment have been logged and reported to
law enforcement and medical professionals since 2008.
Prior to 2008 the attacks were
experienced and reported to medical professionals but the sources were not known. Also reported
attacks of pain to a family physician, emergency room personnel and psychiatrists.

2.
Invading my thoughts via remote sensing technologies. Was sent an autonomous
email in 1998 introducing the term remote viewing. Various technologies and tactics are being
used to create emotional signatures that induce various emotional states; a systematic complete
hacking of my mind.
3.

Making me mentally hear others' voices through the microwave hearing effect.
Synthetic and/or Mental Telepathy. First started to experience telepathy/synthetic telepathy
in 2005 with full-time 24/7 connection during the same time to present. When full-time telepathy
started a male conducted interrogations lasting several hours at a time concerning a wealth of
subjects including ISC/CIA Knowledge. Cannot disconnect from continuous conversations at all
times with one female person. The handlers know everything I know and experience in real time.
During 2006 and 2007 have been telepathic with some 10 or more persons, both male and female
for short durations. Can recall most conversations and subject matter with identities of who they
said they were. Interrogation type harassment is still being used telepathically to harass and for
some sleep deprivation. Made first complaints to DARPA, the FBI, and U.S. Senator Arlen Specter
in 2007. Some conversations by the persons that are telepathic with me elude to some program
similar to the DARPA datalog program where they record your entire life. Everything that you try
to do on a daily basis is subject matter for conversation and harassment. Interference with
thought, harassment, and interrogation is used often times with electromagnetic weapon attacks
to the brain or body.

4.
Depriving me of sleep due to neurological intervention. Mostly Experienced Sleep
Deprivation Techniques during periods of time in 2008 to 2010. Mostly with attacks of pain from
Directed Energy Weapons to back, neck, head (brain); and heart on a few occasions; and with
harassment from telepathy.
5.

Introducing poisonous gas and radiation toxins into my home. First experienced
toxic gases (Chloroform?) in heavy doses in 2006-2007. Made complaints to the Lancaster City
Police Department and the Southern Regional Police. Experienced attacks that would cause
dizziness at home, in automobile and in public. Was informed it was being released through a
distribution system the size of fishing line. To counter attacks used cotton in nostrils and gas
mask. In 2009 experienced attacks of what is said to be sleeping gas, when attacked could not
open eyes. Took Pictures during some attacks.

6.
Having me stalked en masse on foot and in vehicles. vandalizing my home and/or
car. Gang Stalking or Organized Stalking began in 1987 and continues today. It includes
strangers using gestures such as finger under eye; various forms of harassment; and public
mobbing. Complaints have been filed in 1987; 1992;1998 and 2005 to 2010. Complaints were
made to various public officials and local, state, and federal agencies as mental duress. The terms
organized stalking, gang stalking, targeted individual, etc., was not learned until a few years ago.
The organized stalking and harassment followed in several states, some while traveling from
Lancaster, Pennsylvania to California. Tracking technologies may have been used and most likely
are still being used. Police were involved in most places.
7.

Tapping (Bugging) my phones. Complaints of phone tapping/tampering were made to


New Jersey Bell in 1987 with a service call to Stone Harbor, New Jersey to check lines and phones.
The same was done by a Bell Atlantic repairman in Conestoga, Pennsylvania in 1998. In 2004 a
complaint with a report number was filed with the Pennsylvania Attorney General Office in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Agent Amy Zelnick) regarding interference with phone calls and
impersonations by perps intercepting and rerouting calls. Computer Hacking complaints were filed
to local authorities in the County of Lancaster and the Cyber Crime unit of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation in 2005 to 2010.

8.
Blacklisting me in the labor market. Filed complains of employment discrimination with
the Pennsylvania Attorney General in 2006 and the Lancaster County Human Relations
Commission in 2008.
9.

Workplace mobbing. Experienced in 1987 at Financial Management Group, Ltd.,


American Helix of High Industries in 1991 and Pflumm Contractors, Inc., in 1997/1998. Filed
complaints and logs as mental duress and harassment. Was forced out of all 3 organizations as a
result of the mobbing and harassment.

10. Public Mobbing. Public type mobbing and organized stalking and harassment was
perpetrated heavily in the years 2005 to 2010 in the following places: The Lancaster County
Courthouse, The Lancaster County Public Library, the Pennsylvania Career Link, and the Millersville
University Library and University Offices. I was given suspicious and illegal No Trespass Notices
in some 18 public places in Lancaster County in the years 2005 to 2009 without just cause. I was
complaining of stalking and harassing in most all of those public places. The Lancaster County
Public Library and the Millersville University took away my access to a computer after my personal
computers were vandalized and/or hacked inoperable. Fulton Bank took away my safe deposit
box. Others included my church of worship, various bars and restaurants and one attorneys office.
Complaints have been filed regarding the same in courts and with various authorities.

11.

Attempted Murder. Experienced with an attempt of vehicular homicide in 1991 after


National News Media reported ISC/CIA-NSA connection of Arms to Irag. The incident involved a
vehicle changing lanes and direction and heading directly toward me in the wrong direction
running me off the road, narrowly missing a tree. I Filed the incident in federal courts and used
as a motion to seal federal case no. 05-2288 in 2005 in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

12.

Pet Killing. Cat was killed in 2005 with complaints to the Lancaster County Humane
Shelter and the Southern Regional Police Department.

13.

Illegal Entries of Home/Properties. First in 1987 in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, then
again in 1991; 1997-1998; and most serious in 2005 to 2010. Filed Police Reports and insurance
claims, most with the Southern Regional Police Department of Conestoga, Pennsylvania , State
Farm and Harleysville Insurance Companies.

14. Illegal Repossessions.


Airplane in 1987 containing legal and business files.
Home/Property and Contents in 2006 also containing legal and business files and documents.
15.

Physical Assaults. One attack and filed complaint with police report in Los Osos California
in 2005 and one in the City of Lancaster. Police reports were filed and obtained for both.

16. False Arrests. Experienced 7 in 1987 and more than 20 in 2005 and 2006 in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. The false arrests were
charges that were all dismissed prior to court hearings.
17. False Imprisonments. Spent 7 to 10 days in Lancaster County Prison in 1987 with all
charges dismissed and again for some 60 days in 2006 with all charges dismissed. The 60 Days of
imprisonment of 2006 was triggered with a false report of missing a bail supervision meeting,
which was confirmed to be false in court; however bail was maliciously and purposefully reinstated
as secured instead of unsecured. The appropriate appeal was filed which secured my release after
some 60 days of false imprisonment. There were no charges that resulted in any convictions.
18.

Psychiatric Abuses with False Suicide Allegations from Perpetrators/Stalkers. One


in 1987 resulting in a forced hospitalization for several hours by police in Stone Harbor, New
Jersey. And one again in February of 2005 resulting in police restraining me in my home and
abusing me. This one was a fraudulent and phony email sent to police by a perp. The Southern
Regional Police had to vacate after the email was proven to be a fraud.

19. Vandalism to Property. First in 1987 in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, then again in 1991;
1997-1998; and most serious in 2005 to 2010. Filed Police Reports and insurance claims, most
with the Southern Regional Police Department of Conestoga, Pennsylvania and Harleysville
Insurance Company. 3 computers have been rendered inoperable since 2005 along with various
electronics equipment; dvd recorders; printers; household items; appliances; etc., Most insurance
claims have been paid. In the past years a wave of purchased items, online and in stores, were
received broken or the wrong item and all had to be returned. Some included items to secure my
property, and others included computer related items, others were household and clothing items.
20. Gas Lighting. The illegal entering of home and causing psychological duress by moving
items and or hiding items. First reported in 1998 to the Conestoga Police and continued to
present. Clothing was also manipulated and altered. The term gas lighting was only learned in
2010, although it was reported to police as harassment by neighbors of friends. The daily draining
of my hot tub was also used as a psychological warfare tactic and used to run up utility bills.
Numerous complaints were made to police in 2008 to 2010.

Electromagnetic Weapons Causing Severe Muscle Spasms/Cramps.


First
experienced in 2006 to present. One experience in 2006 was while I was in my hot tub and the
pain and cramp was so severe in my left calf muscle (you automatically bend over to rub it out,

Statement: I have been a Targeted Individual, TI, and Victim since 1987. In 1987 I blew the
whistle (public Allegations and Complaints to State and Federal Authorities of Fraud during merger
negotiations with British Defense Contractor Ferranti International) on an international defense
contractor named International Signal & Control, or ISC, who was selling arms (Everything from
Telemetry Systems to Cluster Bombs) to Iraq via South Africa and was convicted of a $1 Billion
dollar Fraud in 1992 by the United States Attorney and several other federal agencies. See
ABC/News 20/20 and Nightline in 1991. They were founded and headquartered in my hometown
of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I was a shareholder and was solicited by a top ISC Executives
(Convicted as a Mastermind of the Billion Dollar Fraud) to help finance some of their operations
through an affiliate called United Chem Con. ISC was a Department of Defense (DOD) Contractor
and a partner with United States Intelligence Agencies since it's beginnings in the early 1970's.
One of it's first contracts was Project X with the National Security Agency or NSA of Ft. Meade,
Maryland. Former Secretary of the Navy, Bobby Ray Inman was on the Board of Directors of ISC
and was also on the Board of Directors of Science Applications International Corporation, or SAIC.
SAIC was a huge defense contractor that was the recipient of the Defense Intelligence Agency, or
DIA, program on Remote Viewing, which SAIC named Project Stargate. It was reported that
Bobby Ray Inman declined the nomination for Secretary of Defense under the first Clinton
Administration because of the ISC and Trecor scandals. In the early 1990's I was a subcontractor
on a project for the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, or DARPA, with the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST called TIMIT.
The project developed speech
corpora for the development of computer based speech recognition systems. I was also involved
in the bidding of other Department of Defense contracts dealing with information technologies. In
1998 I was stalked and approached by an employee of the National Security Agency, or NSA in
York, Pennsylvania who said my problems were not with the NSA, but the good ole boys. In
2005 I was detained by 2 Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA officers in a museum on a military
base in Austin, Texas and was questioned and interviewed regarding my civil actions filed in
federal court for several hours. I was released and told to stay off of all military bases. My
brother, a Family Physician in Austin Texas had to verify my travel plans and the fact that I was
staying with him prior to my release.
My father alleged he was part of U.S. Navy experiments in the 1940's and experienced
synthetic telepathy in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's as outlined in memos and documents he had
authored; and from my personal conversations with him prior to his death. Ms. Amy Fuchs of the
Disclosure Project confirmed that he was most likely given an ET experience via synthetic
telepathy. He died in 2001 in New York City of cancer. My brother was in the U.S. Air Force in the
late 1960's and I allege was a victim of the LSD experiments relating to MKULTRA in the late
1960's and a victim of murder (Suspicious Suicide with tainted medical reports) in Santa Barbara
California in 1984; Notarized Complaints were filed to the California Attorney General in 1991. He
made a declaration type statement prior to his death that he got bad LSD while in the U.S. Air
Force.
Organized stalking and harassment began in 1987 following the public allegations of fraud
within ISC. As far back as the late 1980's I thought that my mind was being read, or "remotely
viewed". During the times that legal Counsel and attorneys were solicited in 1987, 1991, and
1997 Organized Stalking and Harassment and other forms of attacks experienced by Targeted
Individuals were severely increased. In 2005 the U.S. sponsored mind control turned into an allout assault of mental telepathy; synthetic telepathy; and pain and torture through the use of
directed energy devices and/or electromagnetic weapons. This assault was no coincidence in that
it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action in U.S. District Court, of CATERBONE v.
Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288.
This targeting has ruined every aspect of my life.

Some Perspectives
The calculated and technological entry into another persons mind is an act of monumental barbarism which obliterates perhaps with the twiddling of a dial the history and civilization of
mans mental development. It is more than an abuse of human rights, it is the destruction of
meaning. For anyone who is forced into the hell of living with an unseen mental rapist, the effort
to stay sane is beyond the scope of tolerable endurance. The imaginative capacity of the ordinary
mind cannot encompass the horror of it. We have attempted to come to terms with the experiments of the Nazis in concentration camps. We now have the prospect of systematic control authorized by men who issue instructions through satellite communications for the destruction of
societies while they are driving new Jaguars and Mercedes, and going to the opera.
"On the Need for New Criteria of Diagnosis of Psychosis in the Light of Mind Invasive
Technology"by Carole Smith
Global Research, October 18, 2007; Journal of Psycho-Social Studies, 2003.
People have no comprehension of how lethal only one aspect (aside from the obvious of driving
the victim completely insane) of telepathy technology can be in disrupting and ruining an individual's life through the sabotaging of his/her daily activities. Everything an individual does begins
with a momentary thought. From the split second that thought is learned by the person on the
other end (telepathically) - the individual's right to privacy is not the real threat or loss. The real
lethal weapon is the advantage in disrupting or preventing the individual from accomplishing
whatever he/she is going to do before they actually do it. With a simple cell phone call or instant
message, the Advanced Team is in place to subvert; sabotage; manipulate; propagandize;
smear; disrupt; or even prevent the task or activity from being accomplished in any successful
manner. The perps are skilled at creating scenarios that are covertly arranged to simulate everyday occurrences to make the victim at fault for the loss or failure. Imagine the consequences
when these activities have legal and financial implications. With telepathy technology the need for
tracking and surveillance technology is greatly diminished and may even become obsolete. This is
not merely Mind Invasive Technology, as Carole Smith so eloquently wrote this is LIFE Invasive Technology. Say Goodbye to any true sense of capitalism and free enterprise in the not to
distant future unless of course someone stops these illegal and disastrous technology transfers
and leaks.
Stan J. Caterbone
Organized or Gang Stalking
A system of organized psychological terror tactics used against a person who has become an enemy of an individual or a government. Subtle but effective techniques of stalking by multiple individuals and psychological intimidation and manipulation are used to slowly but surely drive the
target to make complaints to authorities who will see the complaints as bogus because of the
methods used against the target. As a result, the target gets labeled as mentally ill.
There are as many stalking tactics as there are targets as the multistalkers will tailor the stalking
to the individuals habits and individual personality. Some common examples or organized stalking
are: following the target on foot, by car and public transportation, crowding the target's space in a
public place, murmuring insults under the breath so only the target can hear, sitting in the car
outside the target's residence, starting "fights" in public with the target, doing "skits" on the
street which involves information only the target should know but has been found out via surveillance of the target, stealing and vandalism of the target's possessions.
Organized Stalking Website
Organized Stalking is a form of terrorism used against an individual in a malicious attempt to
reduce the quality of a persons life so they will: have a nervous break-down, become incarcerated, institutionalized, experience constant mental, emotional, or physical pain, become homeless, and/or commit suicide. This is done using well-orchestrated accusations, lies, rumors, bogus
investigations, setups, framings, intimidation, overt or covert threats, vandalism, thefts, sabotage, torture, humiliation, emotional terror and general harassment. It is a ganging up by members of the community who follow an organizer and participate in a systematic terrorizing of an
individual. Mark M. Rich

BREAKING NEWS
ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP Releases Stan J. Caterbone's International
Signal & Control or ISC Whistleblowing History and Mind Control Relationships
Document of September 21, 2015. This is an all-inclusive document that provides
the evidence beyond any doubt to prove the following (download in pdf format on
scribd for bookmarks):

Stan J. Caterbone was a Federal Whistleblower in 1987 regarding ISC

The Arrests in 1987 were an effort to cover-up the allegation made by Stan J.
Caterbone in the Spring and Summer of 1987

The ISC Fraud and Sales of Arms to Iraq Story by the ABC News Nightline and
Ted Koppel in May, July, and September of 1991 was initiated by Lancaster
Newspapers reporter Thomas Flannary

Thomas Flannary's mysterious death in February of 2004 was either murder


or he was a covert CIA agent and the death was a cover story

That there is credible linkage between the ISC Scandal, U.S. Sponsored Mind
Control, Stan J. Caterbone's family VICTIMIZATION, and LANCASTER COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA

The Zook Murder Appeal proves that Lancaster County Detective Michael
Landis, Judge James Cullen, and Judge Farina of the Lancaster County Court
of Common Pleas were all involved in U.S. Sponsored Mind Control before
2004 and before Stan J. Caterbone went public with his VICTIMIZATION of
U.S. Sponsored Mind Control

The ISC merger was not completed until December of 1987, 3 months after
the arrests

Bobby Ray Inman, former director of the National Security Agency, NSA was
on the Board of Directors of ISC and Bobby Ray Inman was involved in U.S.
Sponsored Mind Control Technologies

The above proves a VAST CONSPIRACY AND CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE that


violates the RICO ACT and ANTITRUST STATUTES

The above would constitute treble damages for Stan J. Caterbone and
Advanced Media Group in U.S. District Courts

ABC News Nightline - September 12, 1991


[Ted Koppel] incidentally the function of the senior review panel is to advise one man, the
director of central intelligence. And at least part of the period in question there was an acting
director of the CIA Robert Gates. Well attempt to pull some of these threads together when we
come back.
Commercial Break
[Ted Koppel] When all is said and done, why should your or your representatives in Congress
care, eventually after all President Bush spoke and acted against Sadaam Hussein more forcefully
than anyone could have expected.
[Former President George H. Bush Speech] Were dealing with Hitler revisited, a
totalitarianism, a brutality, that is neglect and unprecedented in modern times.
[Vidoe-Gary Milhollin, Director, The Wisconsin Project] The more we gave Sadaam, the
more dangerous he got. And ultimately we had to go to war to destroy what we sold him.
[Ted Koppel] But its not a question of holding the Bush or Reagan Administrations to account
for having made mistakes with regards to their policies toward Iraq The issue is how those
policies were implemented.
As we reported over the past few months, The Atlanta Branch of an Italian Bank, BNL, was able to
funnel $Billions, some of it in U.S. Credits to Iraqs Military Procurement

Network.

The U.S.

Government knew, and turned a blind eye. Sophisticated Military Technology was illegally
transferred from a major U.S. company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (International Signal & Control),
to South Africa,

and Chile, and from there onto Iraq.

The Iraqi borne designer of a chemicals

weapons plant in Lybia, set up shop in Florida, producing and shipping to Iraq chemical weapon
components.

The CIA, FBI, and other U.S. agencies were made aware of the operation and did

nothing to prevent it.


During the 1980s and into the 90s senior officials of both the Bush and Reagan Administration
encouraged the privatization of foreign policy, certainly towards Iran and Iraq. The policy may have

had merit - but there werent willing or in some instances werent successful in fighting it out in
Capital Hill so they found other ways. They made a mockery of the Export Control System, and
they found ways of encouraging foreign governments to do what our laws prohibited. They even
knew or if not were guilty of the grossest incompetence that U. S. companies were collaborating
with foreign Arms merchants in the illegal transfer of American Technology that helped Sadaam
Hussein build is formidable arsenal.
This week, the CIA again told ABC News Nightline that our allegations over the past few months
regarding covert operations to supply Iraq with U.S. Arms and weapons technologies simply were
not true.
The CIAs Inspector General said a statement from the Agency [On Screen] - Has found to factual
support whatsoever for such an operation or for the involvement of Mr. Gates.
[Ted Koppel] At least one member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bill Bradley of New
Jersey, feels that there may be reason to doubt both those claims, and hell raise the issues next
week during the Gates Confirmation Hearings, next week.

The CIA also told us that its Inspector General has found no evidence of any off-thebooks illegal activity.

But the CIA concedes, off-the-books activities, are not

documented. Precisely so that deniability can be preserved.


One thing is undeniable, this gun sight video of a stealth fighter bomber from the 32nd

Tactical

Fighter Wing, last February attacking a bomb factory, on the outskirts of Bagdad U.S. Technology
in the air, destroying U.S. Technology on the Ground. The factory was built by Carlos Cardoen.
For all of us here at ABC News, Good night.

ABC News Nightline - July 1991


[Ted Koppel] Carlos Cardoens role in shipping arms to Iraq has been known for years.

His

connection with Robert Gates has not. By the mid 1980s Cardoen was the largest private supplier
of weapons to Iraq. In all he has believed to ship a half billion dollars worth of arms and advanced
technologies to Bagdad.

At a factory 500 miles north of Santiago, Cardoen produced tens of

thousands of bombs and other equipment, absolutely essentially to Iraq during its eight year war
with Iran.
The material would be loaded aboard regular Iraqi airway flights flown from Santiago to Bagdad.
Cardoen did not simply ship weapons, he set up entire factories capable of producing bombs and
other explosives the components would be shipped from all over the world and then assembled in
Iraq. One of those factories turned out Cluster Bombs.
As we first reported on the 24th of May, much of the sophisticated military technology that Cardoen
was shipping to Iraq came from the United States.

This company in sleepy Lancaster,

Pennsylvania, is believed to be the source for some of the Cluster Bomb technology. But there was
more.

Nasser Bedouin is also an arms dealer. He acted as a middleman between Carlos Cardoen

and Iraq.
[Nasser Bedouin on Video] I am aware of Carlos Cardoen getting some type of technology
from the air fuel bomb from the United States. I believe Iraq has a viable fuel air explosive.
[Ted Koppel] These explosives are designed to explode just above ground level like miniature
atomic bombs, literally sucking all available oxygen out of the air. It is clear that Carlos Cardoens
special relationship with the United States was not known by all Departments. When the Commerce
Department inquired about that relationship in early 1987, it received a cable from the U.S.
Ambassador to Chile saying although Cardoen is involved with the sale of armaments, and he has
made his fortune from it, he is considered to be a responsible recipient of U.S. products. In fact by
1987, the covert relationship between the CIA and Cardoen was already well established.
In 1983 the Reagan Administration had become alarmed at how poorly the Iraqi military was doing
against Iran. A decision was made at the highest level of Government to begin helping Iraq.

Indeed ABC News has learned only today, that around that time, in 1983 Ronald Reagan issued a
highly classified Presidential Finding stating that it was important to the National Interests that
arms and technical assistance be covertly funneled to Iraq and with the help of the CIA. More on
the significance of that Presidential Finding in a moment.
What it unleashed was a flood of US help to Iraq. A former CIA operative who was involved in the
program has told us of a series of covert operations, in which loads of 727s were flown into Iraq.
On one such mission in 1987 our source tells us he accompanied a planeload of Soviet built one
hundred twenty-two missiles.

The Soviet equipment was shipped because it would be compatible

with what the Iraqis already had. By 1987, there was at least one such flight a week into Bagdad.
Our former CIA source recalls bringing in $100 dollar bills in a bowling bag, they would also carry
whiskey, cartons of cigarettes and copies of Penthouse magazines to speed up the unloading
process, which usually took place at night.

Once the White House has authorized the Covert

Assistance Program to Iraq, the CIA took over. In effect the former CIA operative told us the covert
operation amounted to here is what we want you to do, and we really dont want to know too much
about how you do it.
Our source tells us that he has at least one meeting in 1986 in Florida between Robert Gates and
Carlos Cardoen, the Chilean Arms Dealer. Other sources have told us of other such meetings. Here
in the United States and in Europe.

Which brings us to an unsolicited statement that was

telephoned in to Nightline from the Central Intelligence Agency almost a month ago on June 17th.
Allegations, the statement read that Robert Gates facilitated illegal shipments to Iraq during the
1980s are totally without basis. Since we had never requested a statement of Mr. Gates, we didnt
know quite what to make of it at the time. But then today we learned of that Presidential Finding,
authorizing the Covert shipment of arms to Iraq.
It would be true then that Robert Gates did not facilitate illegal shipments to Iraq, under the
Presidential Finding, the shipments would have been quite legal.

But during this last set of

confirmation hearings, back in 1987, Robert Gates assured the Senate Confirmation Committee that
he would always keep the Committee current on ongoing covert operations.

Indeed the CIA is

supposed to provide the Intelligence Committee with quarterly reports. According to well-informed
sources on the Committee it has had no briefings on the Covert arms pipeline to Iraq.

That, said

Monday, September 21, 2015

one Senator on the Committee would be a total breach of trust. What would it do to the Gates
Nomination? I asked. It would probably be enough said the Senator, to derail the Nomination.
Again, an excerpt from Mr. Gates Testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1987:
[Robert Gates 1987 on video] If you cannot have a system in which you can have some
confidence between A the branches of government, and confidence between the senior officials of
the Government, A that they abide by the rules, and B that they will deal with one another
honestly, then I think the system begins to collapse.
[Ted Koppel] Late this evening, the Whitehouse communicated its response to the charges
contained in this report, the Whole story is unfounded.

There were never any sales; covert or

overt to Iraq or Iran through a third country. And Mr. Gates never met with Carlos Cardoen.
Well be back with more, in a moment.
[Ted Koppel] For the viewers, this is Alan Freidman, New York Correspondent for the Financial
Times of London, and a member of the team investigating Robert Gates. Alan Id like to begin by
repeating a statement, and let me put my specs on for a moment, the White House. This story is
unfounded and there were never any sales covert or overt to Iraq or Iran through a third country.
And Mr. Gates never met with Carlos Cardoen.
Ah, ah a fairly carefully drafted statement one would think.
[Alan Friedman, New York Correspondent for the Financial Times of London] Yes Ted, I
think that is right, I would agree with the statement that there were never any sales Iraq through a
third party.

Indeed what we found was that some of the cluster bomb technology and fuel air

technology was given smuggled down to Chile, for use that were used and made and shipped on
through to Iraq.

In terms of the um statement by the White House that there were never any

meetings between Mr. Gates and Mr. Cardoen, we have a number of sources, some of them
personally involved in these operations, one of them who was personally and physically an eye
witness present at a meeting, in Florida, with Mr. Gates and Mr. Cardoen in 1986. And who was
told my Mr. Gates, about other meetings that he had with Mr. Cardoen.

[Ted Koppel] Now Congressman Gejdenson, I realized that we sort of unleashed an awful lot of
material on you today, but to what degree does this fit in with those thousands of documents that
you subpoenaed with the information that you have?
[House Representative Sam Gejdenson of the House Foreign Affairs Committee] Well we
just got the documents after a several month battle with the Administration to pry them loose and
it took the vote of a subpoena by the subcommittee to start the flow of those documents, but its
certainly consistent with the information that we got with Committee staffs with some of those
people that said they were at those meetings, ah as well.

I think that the important thing to

remember here is that the United States in 1982 under the Reagan Administration took Iraq off the
terrorist list at a time when some of the worst terrorist of the world were being harbored by
Saddam Hussein, and we suddenly changed our policy and continued to keep Iraq off the terrorist
list, enabling the export of dual use, ah items that can be used for dual use from the United States
to Iraq, as well as these sales that went indirectly to Iraq.
So, all through a time when they were harboring terrorists, and they killed 5,000 Kurds in 1988,
and as recent as six days before the invasion of Kuwait, when I and several members of Congress,
tried to stop the subsidy of grain sales to Iraq, the Bush Administration continued to impose any
sanctions against Iraq.
[Ted Koppel] Well of course theres a huge difference between grain sales and the shipment of
entire plants for the building of a cluster bomb factory.
[House Representative Sam Gejdenson of the House Foreign Affairs Committee] Except
for what I think you find is that a pattern by both the Bush and Reagan Administrations to trying to
assist Saddam Hussein.

What we found at one Hearing was a document from the State

Department, ah that said that the United States was ready to sell weapons to Iraq as long as they
were for the personal protection of Saddam Hussein. A policy that ignored all the outrages, a policy
that ignored I think the intent of the Congress and the American People. And that the allegations
that weve gotten from a number of sources seem to be consistent with that. The United States did
everything it could under the Reagan and Bush Administrations to assist Saddam Hussein.
[Ted Koppel] Alan, I know that one of the things that we discovered in our investigations was
and Id like you to elaborate on it a little bit was that frequently there was Federal Agencies, Law

Monday, September 21, 2015

Enforcement Agencies that was trying to uncover what was going on we found that they were
stymied at every turn. Can you talk about a that a little bit?.
[Alan Friedman, New York Correspondent for the Financial Times of London] Yes I think
that if we look back at other discoveries that we made, you can say that when we found ISC, the
company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, that was, that had cluster bomb technology, shipped down to
Chile that was part of this covert operation for Iraq, we found that the CIA had detailed knowledge
over a period of 4 years of all sorts of shipments from ISC to South Africa, some of which were
later trans shipped to Iraq, we found that Federal Law Enforcement Officers and Agencies were
unable to do anything about it because they just werent told. Likewise, we were just told of the
case that the man that built the Rapta Chemical Weapons plant in Libya, who ah, even though the
CIA were tracking him very carefully here in the United States, was allowed to build a chemical
weapons plant here in Florida, and shipped dangerous cyanide with the help of CIA Contract
Shippers to Iraq.

All of these things were going on and the investigators seem unable to do

anything about any of these things. We seem to have part of the Government trying to investigate,
and part of the Government trying to ship.
[Ted Koppel] Congressman Gejdenson Id like to get your reaction to that and see if your
experiences have been similar in some of the findings that ah or some of the conclusions that you
have reached, but well take a break first and be back in just a moment.
[House Representative Sam Gejdenson of the House Foreign Affairs Committee] Well we
saw it ah from across all of the agencies. We had Dennis Kloskey who was then in charge of export
licensing at Commerce testify before our committee in April that he suggested to Mr. Gates and
others that ah meetings at White House to stop the export of dangerous technologies to Iraq. The
following day ah Mr. Kloskey resigned from the Government. We were told by Mr. Kloskey that the
White House, the people in that room representing the President argued for a policy that assisted
Saddam Hussein in getting dual use technologies. We had Congressman Rose who I know has been
on your show testifying about the grain sales being tied up with funding weapons to Iraq as well.
So across the government, this thing went on. Its hard to believe that somebody like Mr. Gates in
his position didnt know about it.
[Ted Koppel] We are suggesting a lot more that he knew about it. Were suggesting that he was
actively involved in it let me just pass on a little information that we have gathered today, having to

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

do with the Confirmation Hearings and was told earlier this afternoon. Alan Fryers, Senior Officer
with the CIA and Clair George are not likely to be testifying voluntarily, indeed Alan Fryers said he
will not be testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The White House, as we have all
heard throughout the day is putting on some pressure to get those Hearings underway before the
August recess, August 2nd, of course, the Senate goes into recess. Ah, and there are indications
now that a week from Monday, indeed the Hearings will begin, Mr. Gates will be asked to testify at
that time, but Ive been also told that there is no way that the Hearing will no way be completed
before the August recess. And that Mr. Gates will be told that he will be recalled again after other
witnesses have testified, after the August recess. So these Hearing now, are destined to go into
September.
[House Representative Sam Gejdenson of the House Foreign Affairs Committee] I think that is
terribly important, because we have to what we have to remember here, unlike other appointees of
the President, what the head of the CIA does is not transparent. If youre the Secretary of Housing,
like Jack Kemp is, and I disagree with one of his programs, not only do I know about it, but the
average citizen knows about what Jack Kemps doing. Sometimes you agree with it and sometimes
you disagree with him.

In the case of the Director of the CIA, as is clear from repeated

experiences, often times even the people in Congress were suppose to know about these activities
are not informed. This has to do with National Security the standard ought not be somebody that
can get by the Hearing process with White House pressure. The White House ought to be with us
on this one, we ought to make sure that we have someone fully discloses what is going on to the
appropriate committees and to Congress. Not someone involved in Iran Contra and not someone
who hasnt told the entire truth. And not someone who is in question about these activities. This
has to be a definitive decision by the Congress, that this individual will come clean with the
Congress and fulfill not just the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law.
[Ted Koppel] Alright, let me just interrupt here for a moment, because were down to our last
minute and a half or so, Alan, it is inevitable in this kind of investigation that you run into a lot of
sleazy characters and I just want to get from you for our audience some sense of how much of the
information that we have compiled here comes from the sleazy characters and how much comes
from the few that we can really rely upon?
[Alan Friedman, New York Correspondent for the Financial Times of London] I think, ah
Ted the important thing to remember here is that we have had all kinds of allegations for the last

three months when our team has interviewed dozens of people, weve been acidulously cross
checking and weve waited to go ahead with this story until weve had very credible witnesses.
Those who were documented CIA operatives and those who were physically with Mr. Gates during
those meetings, and we asked some of them why would Mr. Gates take the risk and go out and
meet with Mr. Cardoen and get directly involved and get his hands dirty in these operations,
especially as he was deputy director of the CIA at the time himself. We were told that he went out
because he wanted to give his improtore in order to make sure the job got done. Weve talked to a
number of top people and cross checked.
[Ted Koppel] Alright, Alan Friedman thank you very much, Congressman Gejdenson, thank you
very much, Ill be back in a moment.

books, passed by the Congress, couldn't have been
clearer in banning the sale of American military
tecfiaology to South Africa.

twist to this tale of illegal arms shipments. Once the
American-made hardware went to South Africa, it
didn't stop there.
[voice-over] South Africa, after all, has a major arms
industry and, as former ambassador Herman Nickel
says, it was an industry in the mid-1980s very hungry
for customers.
HERMAN NICKEL, former Ambassador to South
Africa: I think that the South Africans at that stage,
you know, were quite keen to sell almost anywhere.
GREENFIELD: [voice-over] Including Iraq. For instance, ISC sold South Africa fuses for cluster bombs,
one of the most effective killing machines around. South
Africa took that technology and in turn sold hundreds of
ousands of bomb fuses to Iraq, a deal brokered by
Ch' ean arms merchant Carlos Cardun, one of the bigs t suppliers of weapons to a grateful Saddam Hus-

Well, look again at this incredible footage from the

stuff that got throu& to Iraq through the ISC shipments to South Afiica, in this case electronic components of a South African radar system guiding Iraq's

XOPPEL: Stephen Bryen, let's bring our discussion


around to M a y ' s events and the general spread of
weapons technology. There is a move afoot now to lower
some of the b a m e r s in trading with Communist countries.
So if you would, perhaps you could bring us around to a
concluding point having to do just with the general spread
of technology and how, when we transfer weapons to one
country, we have very little control over what happens to
those weapons then.
Mr. BRYEN: Well, right at the moment, in fact tomorrow,
we will be releasing with our allies an incredible array of
technology that can be used to make weapons. Itll be
released to the Communist countries like theSoviet Union
and China. As as you are well aware, the Soviets supplied
Iraq with the bulk of their weapons, and the Chinese have
been selling missiles and other sensitive equipment in the
Middle East. So where we're going is utterly in the wrong
direction, it seems to me, in terms of developing a coherent
control regime over weapons and particularly over
weapons technology that threatens, I think, the world
peace.
XOPPEL: And Dr. Kemp, a closing comment from you on
the same subject, if you would.
Dr. KEMP: We can't control everything. We've got to decide what are the most dangerous and most important
items. Nuclear weapons, surface-&surface missiles, let's
focus our efforts on those. I think we can get cooperation
with the Russians and possibly the Chinese and certainly
the Europeans. If we try to cover everything, we're not
going to get anywhere, we're going to antagonize a lot of
people and we'll end up much worse than we are today.
KOPPEL: Senator Specter, 30 seconds.
Sen. SPECTER: I think we ought to do our best to cover
everything. I wouldn't accept that assertion at all, that we
can't cover everything. If it can be used for weapon
proliferation, it ought to be stopped and it's an absolute
outrage, what has happened in the past and what continues to happen. And we ought to try to stop everything
related ro the proliferation of weapons.
KOPPEL: Gentlemen, I thank you all very much, Dr.
Kemp, Mr. Bryen, Senator Specter, Lionel Barber. As I indicated a t the top of this broadcast, this is part of a continuing puzzle that we are trying to piece together. Well
have further reports in the future.
That's our report for tonight. I'm Ted Koppel in
Washington. For all of us here at XBC News, good night.

of Defense contracts-it was associated with ISC. They went under last

sent a board member in to see me a week before this happened. Why. I

"It was, I'll tell you why. Because when Chem Con was started, back to their
inception, you look at ISC's books. They didn't have any money. Well, the

went."

$.fibne of

the items in the column (newspaper column) is the reporting of your

- somehow

somebody associated with - oh, someone associated - in your District Office? Yea. Of

0"

course you were also one of the principals in the - I still am the minor one
Financial Management Group

- there is about 50 names I am dealing

- yes, the

with here and they

are all very similar so I have to be --- Financial Management Group Ltd. filed for 202B
exemption. Now all the security sold in PA had to be registered. Some securities are
exempt but you have to apply the detention type of thing. It is a registration, not a
registration that

so the 203D exemption was filed for. Of course we have

added the security statement

- explanation of

where the money is going to be spent, how

it is going to be run, who runs the corporation and all that sort of thing. Now under
the umbrella of this Financial Management Group there is a whole (now I a m repeating
what is in the 203D which I spent some time Friday reading)

- there is about

15, 14 - I

guess under that there is about 5 other corporations which are going to be an insurance
agency, an investment advising agency, a group

- now a lot of

these things have not

come about. Well we simplified it. What do you mean simplified it? They are operating
but because of the accounting procedures they would have been a nightmare with all
those stubs. So, they a r e operating

- the only one that's

separate distinction is the IRA.

Everything else is operating under Financial Management Group Limited. So these other

corporations have not really come into being. Technically, legally, no.
I seen also; I guess there is an application for a n investment advisor. Now, if you are

selling securities or dealing with

Now that came in under your name ...at

that time I was President, but now there is another application i n that is being acted on
now by somebody else. There is? I don't know who. Is that for the advisor? Yes, the
investment advisor.
Do your current records in Harrisburg indicate that he is still an executive with FMG?
Yes, because this offering memorandum was given back last March I think,

- last August

when I initially did it. Oh, no, pardon me. We are talking about two different

things. You a r e talking about your application for the investment advisor. No, I a m
talking about FMG

- the offering memorandum was done last August because that's

when

I started raising the money. August of 1986 is when I did the initial filing for the
offering memorandum

- the

144

Coming up this October is the 203D. 15 months

after conception. Alright, yea. There is a report that is due a year after
that's what is coming up

- Right,

- to explain how much money was raised and where it was

spent with the idea then of protecting investors. The idea of the

your are

Monday, September 21, 2015

limited to like 35 investors. You can't sell to 105 - you are limited. What the state
does is comes in and says, how are you going to raise the money in your offering
they comc i n

memorandum. Then a year after it is raised, or a year after

and say, now what did you do with the money. You raised 4 hundred and some odd
thousand, now how did you spend it? Now that has not been filed yet. It is due, in
fact I think it is overdue. It is due October 20. I got the letter right here. They just
sent me the letter. You guys just sent me the letter, I have it right here.
I have nothing to do with that end of it. I just came. well whenever I called you

I didn't get a hold of you the next day; it was the following day which was
Friday t h a t w e made contact.
Our idea in coming here was to let you ask whatever questions you had in terms of the
investigation. Of my limited knowledge of the type of securities these guys deal with
and securities in general, the things that came t o interest me was the fact that there

, that there

are stock certificates in here in force with names on them that

are with the annual report, his name is forged by someone else. This gentleman has
some involvement with the original group and the President suggested that he make false
reports to the bonding company so that he can get money back. They are the three
things that stuck out to me as a regular criminal attorney, that I thought you might be
interest in because, but like I say. we a r e here to have you ask questions of anything
that you might.
O.K., this offering then

- when Financial Management Group limited applied for

their

203D, I get the idea they were going to raise four hundred and some odd thousand
dollars. At that time, they listed Bob Kauffman a t 60,000 shares and you and Hartlett
40,000 a piece. So, Kauffman a t this point is the main factor? Or, when 1 was talking
to you, it was really your idea that put this whole thing together. I put i t all together.
I brought him up from Atlanta to be president because I have a lot of business interests
and I didn't want to be tied down to the day-to-day operation. Plus, I never had any
management experience. Most of my work was consulting, business deals, this and that,
so I actually brought him up from Atlanta to be president. And, Hartlett

- is he a

complete local person. He's local. We all started together in IDS back in 1982. That's
your connection with Kauffman. you know him through IDS? He's the one that got me
started in business. I am the one who took him to FSC, that was our broker/dealer and

C

Monday, September 21, 2015

we started putting it together. Are they registered as FSC? Yes, that's John Keegel.
This similarity in names is a hassle; you are going to have to bear with me because you
throw these names out at me

-----.

So then, you had the public offering which you were going to sell another 120,000 shares
and raise $435,000. That would be in addition to what yon people put in. We put in 20
grand a piece. Well, we had 5 people. You were allowed 5 shareholders

- so we put in

5. Five put in 100,000 - five a t 20,000 yon mean? No, it was a little bit more than
that. Three of us put in 20; two put in 25. What we are talking roughly is one half
million dollars? Right. Financial Management Group now is responsible for maintaining
proper control over that money and it would be invested as 5
many people

- there is roughly

- now I don't

know how

18-25 - that was sold as a result of the public offering.

I have that here. Do you mind if I look at it. That's 0.k. I went through a half hour

of frustration to get here. I wasn't running late until I got caught in the

The

way you described it, I assumed it was going to be in the country and I knew ...I stopped
a t the Post Office. I said where is 2300 New Danville Pike. I don't know. I was here
on Friday and I drove past it this morning. You'll bear with me then.

This is interesting. I've got about 40 shareholders. Is this as a result of the 203 deal?
Yes. Did you know about that. These are all the ones that are forged by the other
guys? No, no, just one is forged.
Now, yon people were acting as your own sales

. Were those funds all

properly accounted for? Were they all collected and put in the bank and the people
received their stock certificates. Uh, huh. Who all would have been in charge of that.
Mainly me. I was in charge of just about everything. Now, we have one-half a million
dollars or there about in the bank account. Where? They never would show me the
book

- my partners - never.

They never showed anyone the books to this day. I got

shut out literally. What brought that about? They were trying to take the company
from me from day one. I had too much power, too much control. They wanted to cheat
and be dishonest and I wouldn't. What happened was we had to acquire a n interest in a
broker/dealer to assume our equity, to realize our equity potential. So back in January,
we drummed u p this deal with a broker/dealer called

and Brown out of DC.

The deal was we were going to acquire 20% of their broker/dealer in return for aligning
our group with them. What I found was

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

- I went down there after about 3 weeks of

Page
20 of
51168
of 199

Monday, September 21, 2015

them not doing what we needed, I got scared. I had so much money and time into this
company. I went down there myself and found an empty shell

- nothing.

Now, as a

corporate office, I know how liable I am, for everything, personally. Then what I find
out is that Hebron is a born-again, just like Kauffman. Oh, Kauffman is - yes. And,
is a Jehovah Witness. I get pissed off, so I swing the whole bore, change
everything and I line us with Planner's Security Group in Atlanta
that group is Wade Webster. Bill Carter

- Bill Kaker.

- all the former IFP presidents.

International Association for Financial Planners

- the big guys.

Now, in

ISP?

So, I swing everything

around, turned the whole board over, aligned up with them. The day after I get back
from Atlanta, Kauffman calls me into his office and goes through this spiel with I
thought I was president, who's running the company? I said 1 don't care who runs it, it
just got to be run right and for the right reason. Two weeks later, I am in New Jersey
working on a movie and doing some things

- I had my lock changed in my office for

security reasons. I find that they have all these stock certificates and everything that
were in my office. You had the locks changed? You had them changed yourself, but
they still got into your office? I don't know how. They stole my files. July 1, I went
in and took all my files out of the office and went to an attorney, Joe Roda, and
explained what happened. Nothing. I met with attorneys in New York, New Jersey,
Boston. I found all these security violations and everything else, but no one could help
me. Then, about four weeks later. I called the FBC, the NAFC, the FBI, the Attorney
General, Senator, Governor, everybody. And, they all think I am bluffing.
Actually, they all thought he was crazy. They all thought I was crazy. And that was
started because of Robert Kauffman. That's what he did. The day after I went out and
got my files out, he spread rumors that I left the company, that I was thrown out, that
I was mentally unstable, that I was spending money. At that same time, I get

blackballed by all the local lending institutions. They repossessed my claim three weeks
before my first payment, with the files in it, of which a brother of the broker in FMG
is one of the lending officers. It gets ugly. That was before he spent the 5 days in
jail. I tried to get arrested. I had to. Then after you were arrested, you were in the
hospital at St. Joseph. I was coerced into going there.
No, that was my idea. I wanted him in a place where we were going to satisfy the
victim so to speak, and the police a t one point, that he would still be able to work with
them. In reality, he was in the hospital but had his car in the parking lot. He was

Monday, September 21, 2015

going to play basketball and come back. He was not committed. He was just there. I
walked in to satisfy the bail. Are you on medication? No.
One of the police officers mentioned to me that he was

and that you are

alright now. Again, this might be one of these stories coming from FMG. What
Kauffman did was, back when they started doing this I had a psychiatrist that was my
client. I was depressed. I mean they were making a fool out of me in public; they were
firing people that were very close to me for no reason other than they were close to
me. So I went to A1 Schultz, a psychiatrist, because I was depressed. Very normal,
given the environment I was thrown in after putting this big thing together then having
these guys slam i t in my face, then take all the credit for what I did. He diagnosed me
as having biphola, depression. My father was schizophrenic and my brother committed
suicide two years ago. The reason he diagnosed that was because I was on a low, and
a t previous'times he thought I was on a high when I put this company together. So,
what I did was, three weeks before July 1, this previous July 1, I told Kauffman that I
went to see a psychiatrist because of how depressed I was because of what he and
Hartlett were doing. They fed on that, and tried to use that to use as their alibi for

'

what they have done to me.


Again, t h e r a y 1 am getting this

- I didn't

know anything to start with

- I just

haven't

to make inquiry a t the police office and one said that you were taken
not.

I was

See, that was all started by Kauffman. He actually h e had meetings

with my family to have me committed and take guardianship over my assets so he could
buy the stocks from them a t what ever price he felt like it.
Incidentally, you may want to point out that as late as mid-August of this year,
Kauffman wanted t o buy you out for $2.50 a share or something like that. We have that
documented. Eight weeks prior t o that, I was working with the attorneys to do a 5 to 1
split. That makes the stock worth $25. Either he is ripping me off or he is ripping the
people off who are paying $25 a share.
The offering as you people had it was 3
issue completely sold

- that

prices. It was $5 a share. Was that

120,000 shares? No. Was the best part of it? There was

4 hundred and some thousand sold. Did you buy any of that stock? No, I was in the

organizational sale. You don't know how that money is being accounted f o r now. I have

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

the corporate books. When I went in there June 30, I mean I was in there. I mean it
is not like I went in from the outside; I had a plane and was flying back and forth for
me. In fact, what happened was, I was granted a 60-day leave of absence late June with
pay. Really, what I wanted to do was meet with legal counsel and find out how I was
going to resolve all these problems that I was finding. What happened was, in June I
copied everything in that office (June 30th). and I copied the books. You see, I
developed a computer system. So I just took one of the copies

- it was a big system.

I've got the books. I don't know how accurate they are because the way that the guys
kept the records, the accounting is all screwed up too. I have an idea, but I found a
lot of money going to people that should not have been. In what way? What they did
was, there was a lot of Jehovah Witnesses that were hired in that firm

- receptionist,

cleaning, etc. Then what they did was replace all the staff people that I brought in
with their own. Then, there was money going out to a fellow by the name of Tom
Turner in Minneapolis. Now Tom Turner was the biggest divisional manager in IDS. Hc
was terminated by IDS in February because of religious convictions

- another born-again.

Then I find this guy was making $750,000 a year with IDS and I find FMG loaning him
money? Is that what they are going after

- in the form of loans?

Yes. And, how much

money are we talking about going to Tom. 12-15 grand. Then. I find checks going to

(-1

Kauffman's wife. Large amounts? Are you talking a hundred dollars? No, a thousand
here, $800 here.
FSC, which is a registered broker/dealer, was an entity started by you? No. What
happened was, back in 1983 I had a dinner meeting

- I was running the local chapter of

the IAFC - and I drummed up a business meeting and had Alex Armstrong. Do you know
who Alexandria Armstrong is? Yea. She was one of the most prominent financial
planners in the company, a woman from DC. I brought her up to speak a n d I told her
that I wanted to get out of thc proprietary business. She said, go talk to John
FSC. Now, this is when Kauffman, Hartlctt, everybody was still a t IDS. So, I went a n
had a meeting a t FSC in Atlanta. At this time, Bob Kauffman was the Divisional
Manager for IDS in Atlanta. The next thing I know. I left; then he was hired by FSC to
be an officer and to run their sales force.
Then the idea of the company you a r e forming up here is to invest other people's
money? No, it is a one-stop financial entity

- provides services in mortgage backing,

investment backing, insurance, real estate, taxes, lending, portfolio management,

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

Page

54168

Monday, September 21, 2015

everything. I had it researched legally by a leading patent law firm in Phila. It is


definitely the most innovative in the country. There is not a firm in the country
offering all the services that we offer.
Now, just up the street from your place

They are

that line. I mean big. We're talking an office of 10,000 sq. ft. right here and 35
people; then we travel all over the country. When I say offering services, we have 2
attorneys in there, we have 2 realtors, 4 insurance people, a portfolio manager, 8
financial planners, 5 brokers

- I mean, in depth.

Before I left, I was working on

mortgage banking. I had started a mortgage banking operation and the minimal loan I
wa looking a t was $3,000,000. 1 bet you I bid on S150,000,000 in the first 6 months of
1987. These were loans that you were going to provide the people with? You bet.
Where was those funds going to come from? They were coming from the largest biggest
insurance companies, the largest pension funds, and some of the largest banks. 0 . K . you
were going t o be a s a mortgage banking type of thing. That is right. You were not
lending the money; you were putting the lenders together with the borrowers and you
get a finders fee, or whatever. Yes.

(--')

&:how
did you get into this? You were an initial investor? No. I've been with Stan
since he started in business in 1982. I had come into some money and I was investing. I

had lent Stan some money and things got really screwed up with

and all. FMG


told me that they were responsible f o r the money because Stan was an officer of the

company and that they would

Then, after several me

with them, they more or less asked me to say to the bonding company (that they took
out after June 30th of this year) - t h e y wanted me to tell the bonding company that I
gave Stan the money to invest for me and

&fm
with the funds, which I flat our

refused to do. As a matter of fact, I damn near punched Kauffman in the mouth when
he was asking me to commit a very serious crime.
Now, Kauffman's background, is decent, is it not? Clean on paper. I mean he worked
for

- clean on paper;

there's a lot of people after that man. What he did to FSC was,

he was double dipping. He was telling FSC that we were going to stay with FSC the
rest of our lives; in reality, he was telling me that we were telling them what I wanted
them to hear that we were going to do our own broker/dealer so we could obtain our
own equity. And then, I find out that he is receiving a salary from FSC up until

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

Page
24 of
55168
of 199

Monday, September 21, 2015

February this year. Plus, his salary is in violation of the offering memorandum. Two
weeks before I left, he had the Board approve a salary of about 2-3 times what is in the
offering memorandum.
Maybe this is why the 203D

- they're dragging their feet on this.

They don't know

what to do. I did all that legal work; they don't know how to do it. This offering
memorandum we are talking about

- I just

copied this. This is just happens to be page

9 and 10 because the type of information that is in it. That is the only thing we do
not have a copy here of. Well, we have a copy in the office if you need one. It is
public information; there is no problem with it. So are the books public - I got thrown
in jail for trying to get them. Well, we will try to resolve this; it is not going to
happen overnight.
Who is Kauffman connected with here. He called up everybody I know and told them I
left the company; told them I was stealing money from clients; told them I was mentally
insane. I was doing business everywhere. I was doing business with the Japanese; I was
doing business with the President, Stoney; I was doing business with High at New York,
Boston, Houston. Everybody all over the country heard that I was insane. Everybody.

f'\-

I've been 4 months without money. I haven't paid a bill since June 30. What do I do?
No one believes me. I tried going to the unemployment office. Do you know what they
did? When 1 was in the hospital, that was over $3,000. They called up the insurance
carried and told them to terminate me

- my hospitalization.

I have nothing. The only

thing I have is what is in this house.


Well, Kauffman comes up here from Atlanta, and he's a born-again Christian, so he
comes together with a group up here somehow. You see. he's hiring born-again people ...
Jehovah Witnesses. Hartlett is a Jehovah. There were more Jehovah Witnesses than
there was anybody. But Hartlett was somebody you brought in though, wasn't he? Well,
what happened was I put everything together. But would it not be right to say that
Hartlett would be your person as opposed to Kauffman's person. Well, it is those two
against me. They are the two that are trying to take the company from me. See, I
controlled everything. Everyone went with what 1 said because I did things that were
right for business and right for people. I treated people fairly and honestly. People
respected me more than anybody.

Did Kauffman in the initial offering that you had, the preorganizational offering - each
of you put up $20,000

- did Kauffman put up 20?

He got more stock; he never paid the

other 10 for the remainder of the shares. He was supposed to put in 30 for his 50 $50 a share. The three of you put in 20. Then, he had a back agreement with me to
sell me 10; so we both would have 50,000 shares. I got that contract and he never
fulfilled that. I said no way are you getting more shares than me when 1 put it
together. I said you can be equal with me. But how did that come about? We signed a
back agreement so Hartlett wouldn't get mad. I had to write to buy about 10,000 shares
from Kauffman, 50, to give us both 50 a t anytime a t $.50 a share. You have that
agreement? Yes, he never signed it after he got his 50. It was a bad move on your
part. There is nothing wrong with the idea but do you think a t that point he was
conniving to d o

- he was conniving from day one.

When we put this thing together, I

was in the middle constantly between Kauffman and Hartlett. In fact, a t one time
Kauffman was going over an idea

- this was over a year ago before we moved

into the

office - about how he could set Hartlett up to get him out. Then, when he couldn't get
Hartlett out then the two of them tried to get me out.
Now, everything is in place and it is operational? But obviously you have a lot of

Ci

contacts to make this thing go. I'm out. I haven't talked to anybody? But you did
have initially. You already made them and they now have the

- yea, spent 5 years.

But now they've picked up your contacts really, so to speak? Exactly right. They are
acting as mortgage bankers, etc. The whole bit

- everything I put into place,

they just

stole away from me. See, I never communicated with people. I couldn't, only because I
couldn't find competent legal counsel to tell me what to do. All they did, was send me
bills. I didn't even want to send a letter to everyone explaining the situation until I got
a competent legal counsel to tell me what is right, what is wrong, and what to do. I
went to 3 attorneys and they tell me there is no violation

- and I'm

in jail for 5 days

for what they did to me 3 months previous.


Even according to FMG, Stan was with the company until July 1, is that right?

Here are 2 certificates, June 25th, signed by Bob Long, Secreta~


I wasn't Secretary, I was a Board Member. And, this is April 24th. 1987 Semi-Annual
Report in which someone

- forged my name.

I never even saw that. They never even

had an Annual Shareholder's Meeting; they never let people examine the books that have
wanted to.

Of course, all of this would boil down to their getting money from somewhere, extracting
money. Either they are cheating somebody and putting it in their pockets or taking
exorbitant salaries

- is business that good that it could stand that?

We are paced to do

$4,000,000 PC1 a year, that's a lot of money passing through your hands.

, doesn't it affect those people? Are they

Now the people that are

skeptical of what's happening? I have no idea. I know the clients that 1 have talked to
to, that came down from New Jersey to find out what really went on ran the other way
as soon as they talked to me. In fact, one woman got so sick, she went downstairs and
threw up when I told her.
Well, you know the corporation, regardless of what the situation is when there is a
problem like this with you, or anyone, the corporation has to continue to function? The
fact that somebody has signed your signature to a financial management semi-annual
report. I don't know if that is a security violation, in that end of it. If it would be
corporate law, it may be, but not at the security end of it. Well, someone changed my
address. Who knows who gets my mail? I never changed it. From where? From 1755
Oregon Pike, FMG. It goes here; it goes down to New Jersey. 1 never did it; who did
it. They go through all my mail

- open all my mail, then send i t to me in bunches 10

days later. This is the Financial Management Group that does this? Of course, it is
coming to you as one of the principals in the corporation, and if i t comes in from their
standpoint, they wouldn't know if it had to do with corporate business or your business
personally. The fact that they opened it may not be ethical, but I don't know that

If you change my address, that is forgery. You got to go to the Post Office and sign to
change an address, don't you? Well, I don't know. If you are no longer associated with
them

- who says, I am no longer associated

with them. The Post Office doesn't know

that. If somebody comes in and says you are no longer here, you're over there - I don't
know that the Post Office - somebody there should not have done it.
These are things that show this is not fabricated or something; they are actually
happening. I got so desperate I already wrote 60 Minutes.
How much money are we talking? Millions. That they have taken? I was Executive
Producer of the first digital movie ever, in the world. I was to get 40% of the profits.

I could have made 100-200 million dollars. I was ready to do a deal with the owner of

Turkey Hill. I was supposed to receive a check in July for $200,000; after he heard the
rumor, he backed off. How much have they squandered? How do I know? I can't get
at their books.
These stock certificates that you

Scott Robinson, for instance, bought

42,000 shares. Stock certificates wouldn't

In June of 1987, he bought

2,000 shares of stock. Now the signature that is forged on yours is the secretary. It
should have been yours, but there is nothing wrong with the certificate as such

- aside

from the secretary signing the certificate? There is something shady about that stock
deal too. You see this is a year, not quite a year. Would this be part of the of 203
offering? Yes, everything is. All stock is part of the 2030. What I a m saying is, Scott
Robinson bought the 2,000 at $5 a share or whatever; he put up $10,000 and he was
entitled to get a certificate. If you weren't there to sign i t
Telephone call

'

- someone for Bob Kauf f man

If Scott Robinson put up the money and Peter Ponderose put up 8,000 shares, if he paid

$5 a share

- they didn't

pay $5; they paid $2.50. Regardless, they were entitled to the

shares. If they can't get at you to sign the shares

-- why couldn't

they get me? I was

in that office. Oh, you were still there in June. Yes. Even according to them. When
were you actually locked out? July 1. That's when I went in there and took my files,
when I found out they were doing that. Because they only way they could get the
certificates was to break into my office, because I had them. You had the stock
certificate book? Yes, I did everything

- they didn't

even know how to d o any of that

stuff. That's how I caught them. I knew the law because I did it. I did the
memorandum and everything.
The thing that is wrong with these certificates basically is the fact that Long is signing
as secretary and at that point, on the 25th of June, you're the secretary. As f a r a s we
know, these things could have really been negotiated a t the end of July a n d backdated.
I am not trying to beat you down. I got them July 1 - my attorney copied them for me.
That's how I got those copies. What you are saying, prior to your being locked out of
this place, they were already bypassing you. They found out that I was talking to an
attorney. Now what would they be afraid of when you were talking to the attorneys.

What they were doing. Of course, they do have control of the corporation

- between

Hartlett and - I did, I controlled the Board. That is why they threw me out. When I
made a decision, the Board followed it. But now, they are gaining control of the Board
I have no idea. I have never heard of a Board Meeting. Who is on the Board of

Directors? Me, Bob Kauffman, Mike Hartlett, Bob Long and Alan Loss. I heard those
names; I can't remember where. They were the signatures on the semi-annual report. Is
Long a born-again Christian. No, he is the accountant who hired from Main Herdman.
Were you a party to hiring all of these. Everybody. Pete

was terminated by

Shearson and I was the only person in time to give him a job. He already had some
trouble with the NASD. He was suspended; it took about 5 months just to get him
relicensed

- they had charges against him, allegations - forgery - in fact what he did

in

June was he went and used another persons rep number a t FSC to do options trading and
that person supposedly reported him, or wanted to report him
from Lancaster?

- Greek.

- Dick Sherbach.

Is he

But he is from Lancaster? Yes, but he was working in

Harrisburg a t Shearson. They fired him in November. I saw his name but I can't
connect it. So many names came up as a result of this

- I'm

sort of swimming trying to

get everybody straight. It's not easy, believe me. Time is one thing that I have a lot
of

- so do I.

I can't d o anything else, what can I do?

Did you ever hear of a


some outfit

or

organization? Some years ago, there was

- New Environmental Technology - Remember when that was floating around.

They had a big shindig down a t the Strasburg Inn. A lot of people from New York came
in. The whole thing fell through although Environmental Technologies are is a local
corporation in business a n d they were trying to merge with
Corporation out of New York. I a m not familiar with it.

Shell
Again, it was a lot of born-

again people that would meet; they would push on the idea that all things stock up.
Well, I know h e is running advertisements on the radio that deals with the religious
sect.
Now, that they are set up, does the Financial Management Group need money or do they
have enough money to operate. No, they've got money. They are a self-sustaining
operation then; anything they get from selling securities they will pick up the
commission, if there is brokers mortgages they will pick up the commission on the
mortgages, and that's enough to keep them going, right? Oh, yea. They a r e not pressed
for money? No. Have the handled the customers/investor's money correctly. No. You

have mentioned they've given money to Tom Turner and Kauffman's wife, what else
have they mishandled? I know the Federal people wanted to investigate Kauffrnan's
books, of his stock book that he was managing. This is when he was down at Atlanta?
No, this is now. That's why they wanted him to liquidate his mutual funds so he could
manage it f o r him. They wanted you to liquidate your mutual funds? I told him that 1
was a little unhappy with the performance of the mutual funds that I had; he wanted me
to liquidate it and go into the stock market and let him work it for me. He was going
to act as your financial planner? I would imagine, yea, broker, buy and sell stock.
Have they acted as financial planners?
Is the one that you

- there is over $100,000

been approved yet.

of our RIA fees that they have collected

Did you say IRA? Registered Investment Advisor. Do you want to

see it? Yea, let me. Who is registered now? No one is registered. I was that close to
getting it registered when I got shut it. It was all ready set to go; I got the papers. I
think it was just some questions. Were you working with Jamino? Yea, he is the
corporate attorney that I got

- and I think he is very

He is good. There's

no problem with him. No, Jeff's a good guy. He taught me securities law. I am trying
to think, this application here? Paul Short is who I was working with. I asked to see
the file quickly on Friday

C'!

- I didn't

know it was there. Now I am still President of

FMG Advisory. O.K., now wait a minute

- let me see, FMG Advisory comes in yet.

They threw me out of the Financial Management Group; they never mentioned FMG
Advisory which I was President of. Is this the one that applied to

- oh, alright, you're

using the initials FMG. that's Financial Management Group? Right. I set up an umbrella
so it would be consistent. What threw me off was. when Financial Management Group
was registered there was a whole lot of other entities involved which used the initial
FMG Advisory Service, Accounting Service. That was for continuity. O.K., then FMG
Advisory Service was never really, up to now. was never really registered a s an
investment advisor, right? Correct. They were registered
state?

but not with the

Right

But, now, during this time

- from the time they are in business, from August of

1986

until now. they have done investment advisory services a n d these a r e the fees that they
collected? I charged some. You are allowed to charge up to, what is it

- 14 people?

think it is only 5. I was careful about that one. I know I only charged 5 clients, I am
sure of it. T h e FCC really gave me a rough time getting that thing filed

- I couldn't

even understand their questions half of the time. They are a mess, they really are. I

must have spent 100 hours. I agree with you, there is a lot of attorneys work in the
Harrisburg, and the question is the application

- the question is about that long and

the

answer is Not Applicable. Yea, it takes you 3 hours to figure out that you don't answer
it. I agree with you. I have a tendency to want to throw it away. Well, after 5
months of fooling with it myself, I called Jeff up and said, Jeff, you got to help me get
through this thing. I got to get this registered. I called Jeff on the RIA probably in
January

- no, probably

February or March.

So, June 1987 was the last correspondence you had. Yea, right there it is. Right there,
it was done on June 23. I am going to want a copy of this. I need to get a copier in
here and copy it for you. I can't leave these out of here without copying them. These
files are just to valuable to me

- if

they get lost or whatever. You can attach it to

whatever you want, but I want to get a copier in here and make copies f o r you and you
can just run. I don't know where I am going to get money for a copier but

--.Well,

these files have been literally all over the country. In fact, most of these files are in 2
law firms in California and New Jersey. I was all over the place.
This is the application for your registration as an investment advisor. I would like to
see what the new one says on it. As you can see, they are all like a standard form.
Like I said, I have difficulty looking a t these things. If I am looking a t something I can
find it, but~justto look over and say its alright or whatever. But I would like to see
who they have listed on as officers. I just looked at it Friday and didn't take particular
notice other than I knew that Kauffman and Hartlett were some of the people. My name
wasn't on it. Oh, no, no, your name wasn't on it. Well if they are using FMG
Advisory, I am still President of that company. Well, I don't know in corporate law
what it takes to do away with a President at the Board of Directors meeting. I'll tell
you what it takes.

----- that's

exactly right, but they didn't have a Board of Directors

Meeting. No, the shareholders must vote on the Board. Shareholders must vote and
approve, and shareholders must exempt people on the Board. Shareholders have to vote
to remove someone from the Board. Yes, but the Board of Director would be elected for
a year to two years, whatever the situation would be. So that corporate officer would
be there for that entire period. The three of us were elected to the board for a period
of 3-5 years. The initial Board members

- this was one of

Kauffman's move to gain

control over a one-year term. Me, Kauffman, and Hartlett were 3-5 year terms. When
did that take place? We did that back in June of 86 when we started the company.

Your only connection with the company now is the fact that? I have no connection.
They will not let me

- and I have personal

belongings in that office, and they owe me

money. That is something that you two are going to iron out. See, my involvement is
criminal charges

- that's

how I am involved. And my involvement is going to be the

mishandling of investor's money.


Well, all of these other financial management groups are 100% stock holders
Advisory Inc

- FMG

100% stockholders? Yea, what it is, the shareholders own Financial

Management Limited; Financial Management Limited owns all the other subs. O.K., 100%

there is no other involvement? That's right.

- I think there would be some


give it to anybody - not even me. You

Financial Management Group's Semi Annual Report


financial information

- that's

right, they won't

had mentioned that there are offices throughout the country. How are those people
connected here? Shareholder and they are aligned with us through the broker/dealer.
They go through us to the brokerjdealer, rather than direct. We own 5% of Planner's
Security Group in Atlanta. We get the same deal that we 're supposed to with
Brown with this outfit in Atlanta. They are a fairly large broker/dealer. They are
doing about 15-20 million dollars a year right now, gross commission and
Is it Heubert? No, they are the born-agains that I left, I moved away from. What's the
name of the Atlanta Group? Planners Security Group

- Bill Kegler.

There's nothing

wrong with that group? Yea. they terminated me for no reason. As a registered rep?
Yep. I am sure they will come up with a reason; there is a reason why they did i t
because with the NFAC they had to file. I would like to know why? You know, you
were termed because you were sick or, you know there is going to be a reason.
Whether it is true or not. Lying has become a n accepted norm for all of this. Well, in
their compliance department, all of these broker/dealers should and generally do keep
very good close track of their sales people. How can they when 1 did the deal? But
Financial Management Group owns 5% of Planners Security? Bill Kegler was with FSC
and got angry when he couldn't run FSC 3 years ago. Then he started his own
broker/dealer. This is with Planners Security? That's right. He left John Keebel
because of a power struggle with them.

But now, other than terminating you when they shouldn't have, they are not doing
anything bad? How do I know? Do you suspect they are? Yea, they terminated me,
you bet. You better believe I suspect. If they are doing that to me, what are they
doing to the poor clients who don't know anything. The same thing with FMG

- if

they

are doing all this to me, what are they doing to the clients that don't know anything.
My clients are pissed.
So, what they could do is withdraw their money from the organization whether its in the
form of stock or whatever, but there is nobody making investments
? I've got the former Medical Director

Your money is invested through

St. Joseph Hospital that owns 10,000 shares with FMG that is very upset about all of
this. He,is away; I couldn't get him last night to come to the meeting. They got 35,000
of his. He went through everything from that company

- but he still owns the stock?

What did they offer you $2 a share or something? They didn't offer me anything. But
in that letter they did. They offered me when it came time for me to get the check
because they knew what I was going to do. Well, you wouldn't have taken the $2 a
share would you, because you were talking about a 5-1 split. I would have taken i t but
I would have pursued my civil and legal rights and sued them for the rest. I went 5
days without food

- I was starving.

I had no money - 5 days without food

- people

look at me a n d laugh. Did you ever go 5 days without food? when you are worth a
considerable amount of money?
Kauffman told me that he was going to offer Stan $1-1.25 a share to settle it out, to
buy his

and out of the proceeds of that he was going to pay me the money

that is owed to me first, right off the top, I was his first consideration

- that he

wouldn't buy the stock unless my note was satisfied. You have a note with First
Financial Group claiming they are liable for it. So you took the money and put it into ?
No, I don't know who has the money. A bank either has it or Lancaster Aviation. It
was embezzled from me, I don't know who has it. But they are acknowledging that they
have custody of it? They were acknowledging liability for it. We don't know who has
it. Either Commonwealth Bank has it or Lancaster Aviation, I don't know. But you put
it in the bank? No, I didn't put it anywhere. He gave you the money, what did you do
with it? I gave it to Lancaster Aviation for the airplane. Then they repossessed the
airplane before my first payment for, I don't know why. And I don't know where the
$25,000 down payment is. He don't have it and I don't have it. But the $25,000 went to

him, not as an officer of the corporation? To me personally. The airplane is not part
of this corporate complex? No. But now Financial Management Group is saying they
will pay you back that $25,000? Uh, huh. They sent letters to all my creditors. They
told me that on 3 different occasions

- before they suggested I go to the bonding

company. Then they gave me a letter saying basically that if 1 wanted to talk about it,
talk to their attorney. Well, did you tell him about the bonding company? Yea. They
wanted you to sort of make the allegation that I gave Stan the money to invest f o r me
and that he had scuffled the money

- they wanted me to tell the bonding company

that,

which I refused to do. They took out the bond after July 1. I got a thing in the mail
about a bond; I thought what is going on. Then he told me about a week later
that's what that is

- a $4,000,000 bond.

- I said

You know the bonding company? Fidelity.

Of course, I a m thinking from their standpoint

- Financial Management Group has not

seen the $25,000. No, I don't know, maybe they have it. They might have it. Well, the
only way they could get it is if it were a reimbursement made on the airplane. They
were the ones calling the bank and the Aviation Company about the plane, asking what I
was doing with it, where I was going? They were the ones that initiated all the
conspiracy with the lending institutions. My credit rating was excellent up until August

01 down the line, never owed anybody anything.

I : (

This-is going to drag out; I will keep in touch with you. Now. you also have
investments through mutual funds through Financial Management Group? And how much
money are we talking about roughly? About 170,000. Now. do you have the certificates
for this. No, they were never issued. They are held in

with the broker, and

the broker in this case was? His probably weren't transferred yet, it was probably FSC.
So, it would still be a monthly statement from them

- so there is no problem with it

disappearing. I don't get anything from FSC, I get it from Keystone

- FSC is noted as

the broker/dealer, I a m sure. I doubt that they were yet to Planners Security. I get
the interest off that money, I get a check every month. But your investment is not in
jeopardy now, as f a r as you know.? No, but he is on disability a n d 25 grand meant a lot
to him.
Now, Kauffman wants you to sell these the mutual funds a n d give him t h e $100,000 to
invest as a broker? Right. Of course, you are reluctant to do that because you still
have confidence in Stan. I have confidence with Stan and I am not very comfortable

dealing in the stock market just now. I like more settled investments - the stock
market idea and I don't get along very well. I am looking for safety of my investments.
Like Stan said, I a m on disability a n d I d o need income. And K a u f f m a n promised you a
fortune if you made this transaction? He didn't come right out and promise me a
fortune but he insinuated that I could d o a lot if I let him work the stock market.. He
was doing all options, that's all he does. Well, I don't want no d a m n parts of options.

Here again, which you know, the broker when he is talking to you, or the registered rep
when he is talking to you, should file a form as to what you want. Now you just
mentioned to me that you are a conservative of man. I had him in government
securities.

- And

they should have these on file. Now, if you are conservative and you

give him the moncy and he starts dealing in options, he is really violating the trust that
the government and the NAFC is trying to establish between the client. I tell you what.
I feel sorry f o r you guys. You guys got a hell of a nightmare. Stan always backed me
up; there were times I pulled my investments out and put them in CDs for a while
because I was just not comfortable with what was happening. And, I tell him what CDs
to buy a t local banks. I have the utmost confidence in Stan. Mr. Kauffman tried
extremely hard to shake that confidence.
He tried to shake up my own family. He had my own family believing. Do you want to
know something. I n August, I was on my way to Hollywood to the film studio and to
see some legal clients I was working with one day
to get a night's rest. I get thrown in

- that

night I come back to my house

- I go to the police station to get a restraining

order against my family that didn't understand what was going on - I get retained in the
police station f o r two hours, get taken to a hospital. That day, someone called the
Stone Harbor police and said I had a gun and was running to the beach to kill myself.
This thing is ugly.
As a matter of fact, I would believe I am the only one left to believe Stan is still sane.
Well, I caught on real ~ u i c k . I don't believe he had anyone to talk to except me. I
didn't. 1 could talk to him every other day since April; someone had to believe what
was going on. I have tapes
client of mine

- I have a tape of Bob Kauffman July 3 telling a, supposedly

- it was actually my brother - that I was mentally ill, spending money

that I shouldn't been, and wasn't taking care of my clients. He told me the same thing.

that Stan had wasted away somewhere between $45,000 and $70,000 of his own money,

just throwing it away on frivolous things.


Every minute I have ever spent and every dollar I have ever spent, I've made money on
anything. I got my brothers in profootball

- held my own free agent camp.

And, they

were both picked up last week, as a matter of fact. I was involved in that too. Right
there. I thought I heard

- is he connected with

the Eagles? Eagles and Dauphins. I

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

Page

Monday, September 21, 2015

just heard it on the news

- one of

those things - I heard the name mentioned, it is not

that common a name, and I heard the name mentioned in the newscast of the NFL strike
and it was like - what was that, but it was too late. That Thursday, right after I called
you, was when I got the call.
Stan held his own free agent camp so that the players who didn't get chances in the
bigger camps had an opportunity to do it. 50 people showed up, from all over the
country. The most innovative camp

- I taped

the camp, sent the tape to all 3 leagues

55 teams. When was that, 84? Yes, right there it is. And some of them got picked up
as a result of this? Only one, my brother. I guess they had to have some body. Yea,
that was a fun day that day. That camp cost me 5 grand and generated so f a r
$200,000.00 in salaries for my brother.
That airplane that 1 bought would have made me $3,000 net profit a month, leasing it
out. I had a t least 20 hours of leasing every month for 350 a month a t $7,000, and my
payment was $1500.00. You were leasing it to? My contacts, my network. With you as
a pilot, you mean? No. It's a big plane. I hired my own pilot. When I'm doing
business all over the country I can't fly commercially. I three weeks, my charter bill
was 4 grand for using another person's plane 5 times. Then, you bought this. and before
the first payment was due they grabbed it back. Can they do that? No they can't.
Why do you think I've got a large lawsuit against 3 banks. One of the reasons they said
they did it was because it wasn't properly insured, but he had insurance. The other
reason they said, he took it to Florida. Now I don't know why you would buy $100,000
airplane and leave it a t the airport. Do you know why I was taking it to Florida? I
bought a place on a n island, another very good investment. Now they are suing me
because I couldn't settle because I got blackmailed 2 months later. They said I was
going to Florida to run away and hide. I was going to Florida to settle my property.
They had to come up with a reason so that's the reason that was around I guess. But,
Pete

brother works for Commonwealth National Bank. Plus, do you know

anything about United ChemCon? They are being investigated right now by the FBI and
Attorney General. Chemcon is the big local minority-held corporation that was doing a
lot of defense contracts

- it was associated with ISC.

They went under last Spring,

beginning of the summer, and there was a lot of criminal allegations made, none of them
substantiated. And I was connected with that. They sent a Board Member in to see me
a week before this happened. Why, I don't know. Is this Lancaster based. Yes, Jim

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

Christian owned it

- now I hear

rumors that I was tied to ISC and 1 am close to several

people in that organization. Why they sent someone to California to see me, I don't
know. They won't answer me. Who is this, the FBI? No, this is Chemcon. I said if
you ever come back or you have someone else call me, I want a $10,000 retainer fee.
Never heard from them since. Then, two weeks ago, Jim Christian called me while I
was in the hospital. That guy hated my guts for five years. Why, he called me, I don't
know. What did he want? I don't know. You didn't speak to him to find out? I spoke
to him, he said nothing. The same thing the Board Member said when he came from
California. Asked if I could go get ChemCon another building; asked if I would be
interested in saving the company from bankruptcy

- I was working with a

guy from

Belgium, they wanted me to talk to, a guy from DC and New York, a guy from the
Caribbean. I don't know what the hell is going on. Then I find out the Commonwealth
Bank went and nailed ChemCon. Commonwealth Meridian said Christian personally signed
for the $18,000,000 that was invested or lost of the governments money for these
contracts. I don't know. I am sick of asking questions and people lying to me.
You don't have any connection with that, other than you knew some people? No, I've
got their files, I got their financial statement, everything

- they wanted

me to do

something. But you're not connected with the company? You're not an investor? No, 1
sold my ISC stock June 8.
A lot of people were saying that ChemCon. which is a minority - Christian is a black
guy

- was getting all the minority government contracts because he was one of the

leading minority defense contractors around, and actually the supposition was
know how true it would be

- is that it was a front for ISC.

- I don't

It was, I'll tell you why.

Because when ChemCon was started, back to their inception, you look at ISC's book.
They didn't have any money. Well. the first thing ChemCon did, was they went and got
all that free money from the government and you look and see where that money went.
I bet you I know where it went.
This guy named Geurin, James Geurin. And I know that they were selling contracts
back. He runs ISC and he also has his fingers pretty deeply in ChemCon. He's the one
who started ChemCon, Geurin is the one who started it. Wasn't there some allegations
about a tie with Wedtack You bet. They were tied, you'd better believe they were tied
with Wedtack. The same guys in Wedtack were involved with ISC and ChemCon. ISC is

Now they just did a multibillion dollar merger with a company in London

They probably think it is going to cover their tracks. You mean United ChemCon is a
local corporation. Yes, they went bankrupt as of this last 3 months. What was it,
$18,000,000 in liabilities? What they did was, they fronted all that money and started
the contracts, went bankrupt, now the government is stuck for $18,000.00. They weren't
paying employees, they weren't producing the product. they weren't paying their
unemployment and everything else. Did they pay the withholding taxes? No. It turns

Amazing. Had these racquetball things in his

- let me tell you about Jim Christian now.

I know right now in this town's viewpoint, I stole money, I am insane, and I am a

lunatic. I tell you I will not condemn Jim Christian until he tells me to my face what
happened. I was framed and set up and I know (I see what you mean, your experience).
I don't know, maybe Jim Christian doesn't have the money. Maybe Geurin has it or
somebody else. $18,000,000 is a lot of money and he is broke because he lives with one
of my best friends,

I mean they don't have money. And, I would think that

if he took it, he would have something. You're pretty nice, Stan, to somebody who has
hated your guts for 5 years. I know what I am going through, a n d who knows, maybe
he was innocent too. Is this Christian you are talking about. Yes.
You were going to make copies of these. I can't make copies. I can f a x them to you.
I will make copies for you, in fact, what I should do is get everything copied for you.
Well, no, because that is a tremendous expense. I would rather, if you have the time, or
can stick me in the corner somewhere, maybe say, this and this, a n d this, I a m sure we
can eliminate half of it. O.K.but you should tell me what you want and I will make
copies. I just don't want this stuff to leave my hands anymore. I can get them to you
overnight. Well, there is nothing we can do overnight. I can't elevate your problem as
far as being out of the corporation

- oh, I thought

you were going to give me a check

before you leave. So, anything that I would be involved in is going to be long and
drawn out; it is not going to be a n answer to your immediate problem.
I know, but I had to get someone involved. I had to get authorities to start taking
action for me.

- well, he is the one I am talking about mostly.

They said

they were sending 2 guys up here last week for 2 days. Did you talk to them about
what was going on? How did you happen to talk the FCC. I was just trying to get m y
money back. They promised me my money and they didn't come up with it. So, I called

they came there, I think their attitudc

no, they were curious as to some of the other things that were

going on. I talked to them a couple of times. They were curious for one thing,
Kauffman wanting to take my investment and putting i t in the stock market and working
it for me, they were curious about that. They were curious about the allegations of
Stan's alleged insanity and forcing him out of the corporation, and I think they were a
little confused about why they would accept liability for the money if it wasn't there
liability. That would be a question that I would ask. I think that aroused their
curiosity, but he also said that they have never been checked, and they are about due,
so we might just as well go up there and dig into it and find out what was going on.
As f a r as I know, that is what they did, what they call a compliance examination. I
don't know that they were there looking

-. Sincc your allegations were made, I am sure

they looked into some items like that, but I think basically it was just a compliance
examination. What did they find? I don't know. They were there though? There was
two people supposed to be up there. Were they there last week? Well, it was recent,
the report isn't even written, but the report I think will be more on the lines that they
don't have a client complaint form filed

procedures, etc.

I am still interested as to how you wcrc alerted to it. I have yet to get it

- I was

coming down as an appointment last Tuesday o r Wednesday, which ever day, it was the
next day I called you. I had an appointment here i n Lancaster. I had gotten a call
about 4 3 0 in the afternoon from the Phila office, and my supervisor down there said
there is a newspaper clipping of your break-in of the Financial Management Group. I
don't know whether to make a n investigation out of it or not. It seems there are some
securities involved. The only 2 articles that appeared are right over there and none of
them say anything about it. They just know my name, right? They just knew that I
was involved with the company?

- it doesn't

say anything about securities there.

Nothing a t all? Then how it came to our office I don't know, unless somebody sent it.
Even if they sent the articles, there is nothing i n there to indicate who

called me an ex-worker. That is the interesting thing about it. "burglary, theft,
unlawful restraint, robbery, unlawful use of computer, criminal mischief, and terroristic
threats." I've never seen the article. There it is, pull them down. No, that's alright.
They were supposed to send it up to me and they didn't. I'm leasing that building and
accused of burglarizing his own building.
See, he called me and said, you are going down to Lancaster. See if we should start an
investigation. Stop up to the

-- exemployee.

Christian, I think was the arresting

officer? Mathias, they said Lancaster Detective Mathias. He's not, he's Manheim Twp.,
fortunately I found that out. I called Township 2 months ago and they didn't help me.
Then they throw me in jail when my partners call.
So anyhow, I stopped up that evening, Tuesday or Wednesday night, the next day I called
you but did not get you until Thursday or Friday, so that is my association. They were
supposed to send up the newspaper clipping or whatever it was they had. But the only
thing I know is that your name was associated in our office computer file with Financial
Management Group. Your not telling me anything new. But you see I was supposed to
have this. Why I don't, I don't know because they were supposed to send it up. But
the state in their own way to save a .40 postcard, they have a messenger service to
Harrisburg. So, its alright if you get it in the mail, like if I was in the office this
morning and put it in the mail before 10:OO it goes to the central office and gets
distributed

- then the next day i t goes down and would

be there the next day. But if

you miss that 10:OO mail, it don't leave our office until the next day then the next day
in the central file. then somebody drives it down to Philadelphia. I should buy you
guys some stamp. I had to deal with the State that long so you know these are just
little quirks that keep popping up every now and then.
1'11 tell you an interesting part that I had when I went out to view - they had to

- a n d Manheim Twp. called in t o Hartlett as I was there.

I was there to

get property returned to Stan, and Hartlett started going through things and paying a lot
of attention to what was there, and had already admitted wasn't his. There was a lot of
correspondence there, he was very interested in, and the policeman even came to my aid
and made him not be nosey. even its yours or it isn't, and he released everything to me.
Do you know what I took out of the office was on the books, everything that I wanted

Stan J. Caterbone, ISC and the CIA

Monday, September 21, 2015

to see. Did they let you keep that? No, no, in fact the inventory from the service
warrant, just about everything on here is Stan's files, even labeled as such. Then I
found a

checking account, K & H Enterprises, Kauffman-Hartlett Enterprises,

they returned that to Kauffman. K & H, what do you think that stands for? Kauffman
and Hartlett. Well, that's what the initials stand for but what type of business? I
never heard of it. You don't know what it would be? I can imagine what it would be.
A brokers business somehow? It's something fishy. I can't remember the bank, I think

it was Hamilton Bank., Probably Hamilton or Farmers First.


In looking a t these, the only thing I can say, as far as I know Philadelphia is the only
information they had. Now maybe i t came in anonymously. I know a lot of people in
Philadelphia. This involves Financial Management Group or something or involves
securities, because the guy I talked to said, you know, should we be involved in it at
all? Ask what it is, see if there is securities involved? And that's what I did and

that's when I came up Mathias and of course he mentioned

Well, who mentioned to you about medicine. I t wasn't Mathias; Seigler was involved.
Why, how did they get wind of that? Harlctt and I were there and Hartlett was talking
!

, that's a bunch of crap.

about you taking your medicine. What medicine?

That's what Hartlett was telling him. And Hartlett was saying is he taking care of
himself and all of this stuff. That son of a bitch. He is really painting a nice picture.
Well, the cops didn't really buy it because they asked Hartlett to leave and they gave me
the information that they told Hartlett they weren't going to give me.
Yea, well they mentioned the things that you had taken, a couple of items, that they had
given back and allowed you to have them. They gave all the files back to FMG before
we were involved and then he gave me the personal correspondences, but they kept his
camera. Apparently, Stan was doing the policeman's work when he was in there the
night he was accused of burglarizing the place. He took pictures of all his files i n their
office and they said they had better keep that.
This is June 30th. It is my files in their office. That's the night I left. Who's taking
the pictures? A friend of mine. You were with someone? This was 3 o'clock in the
morning. Oh, you weren't arrested on the premises, were you? No, but this is when I
was in the office. This is when they stole my files out of my locked doors. He was

This is the stock certificate book here, this big black book? Yea. You are still

second one is not breaking in

- well, the girl left me in and she's a friend of mine.

He

is still President and a t the time he was still Secretary I guess. I don't think the police
feel too awfully strong that they have a burglary type charge. I know. Well, I tell you
what, they abused me the night they arrested me.

Well, the cop that picked

me up here left me ride on the front seat and everything. When I get to Township,
handcuffed me, put my hands to the belt, threw me in a cell, bounced me around the
car. They wouldn't even listen to who I was. I had all the documents to hold them
that I was lease holder of the building

- wouldn't

even look at it. They didn't ask me

anything. I know why they a r e acting nice now. They are going to hear from my
attorney.

I don't know who even made the complaint, whether it was the girl who made the
complaint. You were arrested the next day? No, that night. I told 5 people that I
wanted to arrested that night: I had to. But then somebody had to call the Manheim
police. Do you know what they did? They called up the police that day and said 3 days
previous t o that, that I made a bomb threat to that building
picked me up for. Oh. really?

- that's

what the police

That's what the police picked me up

for. Then, while I was there they charged me with the burglary. They initially picked
me up for a terroristic bomb threat, that took FMG three days to report, they couldn't
even remember when the phone call was, and the person that reported it, I don't even
know who she is

her. You were a t the premises there

PHILADELPHIA-The Justice Department today charged


former Lancaster businessman James H. Guerin and associates with a $1 billion fraud and illegal sale of U.S. military
technology to South Africa.
Guerin, once one of Lancaster's most prominent industrialists and philanthropists, faces up to 66 years in prison and $3.75
million in fines, if convicted of the charges, federal prosecutors in Philadelphia said.
Six other men who worked at Guerin's International Signal
& Control, near Mountville, also face charges in the alleged
schemes.
In addition, the government is charging Armscor, South
Africa's state affiliated weapons maker, two of its subsidiaries and seven South African nationals with involvement in the
smuggling scheme. (See accompanyinglist of indictments.)
In two indictments, containing 75charges agalnst 17 people,
the Justice Department portrayed Guerin as the architect of
the intertwining fraud and illegal export schemes.
Today's long-awaited indictments culminate a three-year
probe into ISC. Athough Guerin and his associates have been
named in many previous court proceedings, they were not
formally charged until
today. September 21, 2015

ALEXANDER M. HAIG 1924-2010

Former Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig dies


The retired general, whose brash and opinionated personality made him a
controversial figure among Washington insiders, had the ear of several presidents.
By James Oliphant
10:17 AM EST, February 20, 2010

Reporting from Washington - Alexander M. Haig's life threaded


through some of the most tumultuous episodes of the second
half of the 20th century. An Army officer in Vietnam, a
presidential advisor during the Watergate scandal and a key
Cabinet member during the attempted assassination of
President Reagan, he was a combat warrior who found himself a
diplomat, a career military man who became the consummate
political insider.
He died Saturday at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore from
complications associated with an infection, the Associated Press
reported. He was 85.

Voices -- Alexander Haig, 1924 - 2010

Haig is probably best remembered by many Americans as the


man who asserted his authority in the White House after
Reagan was shot outside a Washington hotel in 1981 -- despite
the fact that, as secretary of State, he was well down the line of
presidential succession.

The gaffe sparked a small-scale firestorm. But Haig had been a


controversial figure in Washington circles for years, chiefly for his role as President Nixon's chief of staff as the
administration buckled beneath the weight of the Watergate investigation. Haig was credited by many for holding the
White House together as its walls closed in on the president.

Bizarre UFO-Like

Haig, who attained the rank of four-star general, was that rare Washington species: a product of the armed forces who
adapted seamlessly to the byzantine workings of executive power. Brash, steely, opinionated, he fought on the battlefield
and navigated the corridors of the Pentagon and White House with equal aplomb, and his progress became linked with
those of other notable figures of the period such as Douglas MacArthur, Robert McNamara, Henry Kissinger and, later,
Nixon and Reagan.

Remake: 'I Am
The World'

So enmeshed was he in Nixon's inner circle that for years he was widely suspected of being the celebrated "Deep Throat,"
the anonymous source who fed reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward information on Watergate -- ultimately
revealed to be FBI official W. Mark Felt.
After Nixon resigned, Haig returned to the military as the supreme commander of allied forces in Europe before Reagan
tapped him as his first secretary of State, a post he occupied for just 18 months. The self-proclaimed "vicar" of American
foreign policy, he struggled among the shifting turf battles of that administration's early years and soon became their
victim.
He would unsuccessfully run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1988. Later in his career, he turned his eye
toward business, becoming an advisor to several corporations, serving as a founding board member of America Online, and
commanding a hefty fee on the lecture circuit.
Alexander Meigs Haig Jr. was born Dec. 2, 1924, in Bala Cynwyd, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia. His father was a
Republican lawyer who died of cancer when Haig was 10.
Raised Roman Catholic, Haig attended the University of Notre Dame before receiving an appointment to the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point. He graduated in 1947 as the United States was settling into its new role as the global bulwark
against communism.
He became a junior aide to Gen. MacArthur in Japan, where he met his wife, Patricia, the daughter of an Army officer. He
had a tour of duty in Korea, serving in seven campaigns, including the Battle of Inchon, and was awarded two Silver Stars
and a Bronze Star.

Such began an inside-outside pattern of advancement within the Army. After the Korean War ended in 1953, he served in
a variety of administrative posts both in the U.S. and Europe, while also setting the stage for his future career by securing
a master's degree in international relations from Georgetown University, where he studied the intersection of the military
and policy.

His career began to move forward when he was appointed a top aide to Defense Secretary McNamara at the Pentagon, just
as the Vietnam War was heating up. But Haig again sought the theater of combat and, as a lieutenant colonel, took
command of a battalion of the 1st Infantry Division in Vietnam.

In 1967, his battalion was pinned down by the Viet Cong near Ap Gu. Haig flew to the scene in a helicopter, which was
subsequently shot down. For three days, his soldiers, outnumbered 3 to 1, fought off waves of enemy troops, inflicting
severe casualties. Haig was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the country's second-highest honor for heroism, by
Gen. William Westmoreland.
Back in the States, the now-Col. Haig's life took a life-changing turn when he was appointed to the staff of President
Nixon's national security advisor, Henry Kissinger. For four years, Haig ran Kissinger's office with military efficiency,
impressing Kissinger and Nixon alike. He was dispatched to Paris to oversee the first round of peace talks with the North
Vietnamese and later was part of the team that paved the way for Nixon's historic outreach to China.

But there were less savory endeavors: Haig also helped Kissinger and Nixon wiretap the phones of 17 people, including
members of Kissinger's staff and reporters, suspected of involvement in leaks of government information.
Nixon, who placed loyalty and trust above all, wanted to keep Haig close, and promoted him ahead of 240 other generals

TIMELINE OF EVENTS

January 13, 1998


In a desperate plead
for intervention with
the mental duress at
Pflumm Cont., and the
invasion of my privacy
all trying to stop my
pursuit of justice I call
Fr. Lavelle at the Office
Of the Bishop for help
and advise. A meeting
is set for the next morning
at 9:00 am.
Coincidentally Dr. Al Shulz
calls me to reschedule my
Quarterly checkup soon after
following my meeting with
Fr. Lavelle, in Harrisburg.
Pam Pflumm arrives at my
house in the evening trying to
confuse me and annoy me
before my meetings.

January 14, 1998


I meet with Fr. Lavelle
who mysteriously would
on suggest that I continue
to talk to my therapist
and would not call Dave
Pflumm to alleviate the
incidents of mental duress
unless Al Shulz would tell
him to do so.
Pam Pflumm call me on
My car phone as soon as
I leave the Bishops Office
crying hysterically that
she needs to see me and
wants to go to Dr. Shulzs
office with me. She demands
To go with me to my appointment
but I make her wait in the car.
I sense wrongdoing, and tape
record my session with Dr.
Shulz, who

January 14th Cont.


before I speak one
word tells me Stan
you are sick, you are
not well, you need to
take different medicine
you need help. The last
time that I saw Dr. Shulz
in September, I was fine.
Someone apparently
called Dr. Shulz prior to
my arrival. See Tape.
January 15th, 1998
I send a certified letter
to Dr. Al Shulz notifying
him that I am leaving his
practice.
Everyone makes an
ordeal of my session
with Dr. Shulz as if
I was some lunatic, it
is a violation of my right
privacy.

Due to the inflammation
of further mental duress
I take my 1 st sick day and
take my 2 week vacation
in an effort for a cooling-off
period at Pflumm
Contractors, Inc., in order
to protect my sanity.

February 5, 1998
In a desperate plead to
resolve the issues I file
a formal complaint to the
PA Chapter of the American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
in Philadelphia, PA.

February 171998
ACLU responds that
they do not have the
available resources
to look into my case.

February 19th, 1998


At 11:30 pm Pam Pflumm
arrives at my home, and
after I request her to leave
Several occasions, she tries
to convince me that my mother
is dying - she said Your
mother Is dying, and you
dont even care.

February 20th, 1998


Immediately upon
entering my office
I confront Dave Pflumm
and ask him if my mother
is dying, He had no
response.

See Diary of Mental


Duress filed with the PA
Unemployment Comp. Office.

February 17, 1998


Immediately prior to the
telephone call from the ACLU
I had mailed a personal letter
to Bishop Dittilo of the Dioc.
of Harrisburg pleading for
help and intervention
regarding all matters.

questioned.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS

February 20th, 1998 (Cont)


Extremely distraught and
upset I went home at lunch
and called Mr. Kenneth
Burnette, Stepfather of
Pam Pflumm, and Chaplain at
Lancaster General Hospital
and asked him to talk to Pam
Pflumm.
That evening I had dropped
a copy of the letter to Bishop
Dittilo into his mailbox.

February 28, 1998


Coincidentally, more than
2 months late, I receive
a legal opinion from
Mr. Matt Samley of Xekallis,
Reese, and Pugh. Which
Was totally without any
legal merit.

February 22, 1998


Mr. Keneth Burnette comes
to visit me at my home to discuss
my note. He said that Pam
never said my mother was dying
but rather that she was sick. He
states that my situation is over
his head . I told him that work
has been like Hell for the past
Several months and asked him
to help. He repeated to me, so
work is like Hell?. He said he
would check on me. And I
Distinctly told him that I will call
him if I wanted to see him.

March 17, 1998


Mr. Ken Burnette continued to
come to my home on at least 5
more occasions despite my polite
way of saying, dont call me Ill call
you.

February 25, 1998


I file a claim for
Unemployment
Compensation on the
grounds of quitting due

I, Stanley J. Caterbone being duly sworn according to law, make the following affidavit concerning the years during which I was
maliciously and purposefully mentally abused, subjected to a massive array of prosecutorial misconduct, while enduring an exhaustive fight
for the sovereignty of my constitutional rights, shareholder rights, civil liberties, and right of due access to the law. I will detail a deliberate
attempt on my life, in 1991, exhibiting the dire consequences of this complaint. These allegations are substantiated through a
preponderance of evidence including but not limited to over 10,000 documents, over 50 hours of recorded conversations, transcripts, and
archived on several digital mediums. A Findings of Facts is attached herewith providing merits and the facts pertaining to this affidavit.
These issues and incidents identified herein have attempted to conceal my disclosures of International Signal & Control, Plc. However, the
merits of the violations contained in this affidavit will be proven incidental to the existence of any conspiracy.

The plaintiff protests the courts for all remedial actions mandated by law. Financial considerations would exceed $1 million. These violations
began on June 23, 1987 while I was a resident and business owner in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and have continued to the present.
These issues are a direct consequence of my public disclosure of fraud within International Signal & Control, Plc., of County of Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, which were in compliance with federal and state statutes governing my shareholder rights granted in 1983, when I purchased
my interests in International Signal & Control., Plc.. I will also prove intentional undo influence against family and friends towards
compromising the credibility of myself, with malicious and selfserving accusations of insanity. I conclude that the courts must provide me
with fair access to the law, and most certainly, the process must void any technical deficiencies found in this filing as being material to the
conclusions. Such arrogance by the Courts would only challenge the judicial integrity of our Constitution .

1. The activities contained herein may raise the argument of fair disclosure regarding the

scope of law pertaining to issues and activities

compromising the National Security of the United States. The Plaintiff will successfully argue that due to the criminal record of International
Signal & Control, including the illegal transfer of arms and technologies to an end user Iraq, the laws of disclosure must be forfeited by
virtue that said activities posed a direct compromise to the National Security of the United States.; the plaintiff will argue that his public
allegations of misconduct within the operations of International Signal & Control, Plc., as early as June of 1987 ;demonstrated actions were
proven to protect the National Security of the United States.. The activities of International Signal & Control, Pls., placed American troops in
harms way. The plaintiffs actions should have taken the American troops out of harms way causing the activities of the International Signal
& Control, Plc., to cease and desist.

All activities contained herein have greatly compromised the National Security of the United States, and the laws of jurist prudence must
apply towards the Plaintiffs intent and motive of protecting the rights of his fellow citizens. Had the plaintiff been protected under the law,
and subsequently had the law enforcement community of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the County of Lancaster administer
justice, United States troops may have been taken out of harms way, as a direct result of ceasing the operations of International Signal &
Control, Plc., in as early as 1987.

2. The plaintiff will successfully prove that the following activities and the prosecutorial misconduct were directed at intimidating the plaintiff
from continuing his public disclosures regarding illegal activities within International Signal & Control, Plc,. On June 23, 1998, International
Signal & Control, Plc was negotiating for the $1.14 billion merger with Ferranti International, of England. Such disclosures threatened the
integrity of International Signal & Controls organization, and Mr. James Guerin himself, consequently resulting in adverse financial
considerations to all parties if such disclosures provided any reason to question the integrity of the transaction, which later became the
central criminal activity in the in The United States District Court For The Eastern District

3. The plaintiff will prove that undo influence was also responsible for the adverse

Of Pennsylvania.

consequences and fabricated demise of his business

enterprises and personal holdings. The dire consequences of the plaintiffs failed business dealings will demonstrate and substantiate
financial incentive and motive. Defendants responsible for administering undo influence and interference in the plaintiffs business and
commercial enterprises had financial interests. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a taxing authority, Lancaster County had a great
investment whos demise would facilitate grave consequences to its economic development. . Commonwealth National Bank (Mellon) would
have less competition in the mortgage banking business and other financial services, violating the
lender liability laws . The Steinman Enterprises, Inc., would loose a pioneer in the information technologies industries, and would protect the
public domain from truthful disclosure. The plaintiff will also provide significant evidence of said perpetrators violating common laws
governing intellectual property rights.

4. Given the plaintiffs continued and obstructed right to due process of the law, beginning in June of 1987 and continuing to the present,
the plaintiff must be given fair access to the law with the opportunity for any and all remedial actions required under the federal and state
statutes. The plaintiff will successfully argue his rights to the courts to rightfully claim civil actions with regards to the totality of these
activities, so described in the following Findings of Facts, regardless of any statute of limitations. Given the plaintiffs genuine efforts for
due process has been inherently and maliciously obstructed, the courts must provide the opportunity for any and all remedial actions
deserving to the plaintiff.

5. Under current laws, the plaintiffs intellectual capacity has been exploited as means of discrediting the plaintiffs disclosures and
obstructing the plaintiffs right to due process of the law. The plaintiff has always had the proper rights under federal and state laws to enter
into contract. The logic and reason towards the plaintiffs activities and actions are a matter of record, demonstrated in the Findings of
Facts, contained herein.. The plaintiff will argue and successfully prove that the inherent emotional consequences

to all of the activities

contained herein have resulted in Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

The evidence of the stress subjected to the plaintiff, will prove to be the direct result of the activities contained herein, rather than the
exhibited behavior of any mental deficiency the plaintiff may or may not have. The courts must provide for the proper interpretations of all
laws, irrespective of the plaintiffs alleged intellectual capacity. The plaintiff successfully argue that his mental capacity is of very little
legal consequence, if any; other than in its malicious representations used to diminish the credibility of the plaintiff.

6. The plaintiff will demonstrate that the following incidents of illegal prosecutions were purposefully directed at intimidating the plaintiff
from further public disclosure into the activities of International Signal & Control, Plc., consequently obstructing the plaintiffs access to due
process of the law. Due to the fact that these activities to which the plaintiffs perpetrators were protecting were illegal activities, the RICO
statutes would apply. To this day, the plaintiff has never been convicted of any crime with the exception of 2 speeding tickets. The following
report identifies 34 instances of prosecutorial misconduct during the prosecutions and activities beginning on June 23, 1987 and continuing
to today.

7)
Given the preponderance of evidence associated with this affidavit, the courts must conclude that In The United
States District Court For The Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Federal Judge Stuart Dalzalls findings of April 14, 1997,
in the Lisa Lambert case identifying acts of prosecutorial Misconduct, now, by virtue of this affidavit, now discloses
evidence of a bona fide pattern of prosecutorial misconduct, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in the County of
Lancaster. Criminal law must now determine if these disclosures would warrant investigations of a possible criminal
enterprise. This affidavit is of material interest to the Lambert case, for the very fact that this affidavit compromises the
very same integrity of the court, which would tip the scales of justice even further from the peoples deserving rights..
In the truthfulness of this affidavit, The Commonwealth must concede Lisa Michelle Lambert to balance the scales of
justice, which no other act could accomplish. Commonwealth must yield the criminal culpability of Lisa Michelle
Lambert to the superior matter of restoring the integrity to the courts; by its own admission of wrongdoing, assuring
the peoples of its commitment to administer equalities of justice, not inequalities of justice. Balancing the scales of
justice. Anything less, would take the full scope of jurisdiction out of the boundaries of our laws, negating our
democracy and impugning the Constitution of the United States. The plaintiff must be restored to whole.

Derrick,
Just to provide you with more background on the ISC/NSA connection, they were alleged by ABC News and the Financial
Times of London in 1991 to have been involved in black ops programs with the NSA and CIA in the exporting of arms to Iraq.
Tedd Koppel of Nightline did the reporting in segments from May to September of 1991. ABC News 20/20 did a segment in
February of 1991.
Also in September of 1991, Robert Gates, the current Secretary of Defense, was questioned in detail about his involvement
and knowledge of ISC, Lancaster, and the alleged arms sales during is confirmation hearings for Director of CIA (I have the
CNN Broadcast). This was all reported by Ted Koppel in 3 different segments in the summer of 1991 ( I have all of the
broadcasts). ISC was indicted a few months later for a massive fraud and the illegal arms sales. They (ISC) were apparently
used and left to take the fall. On a side note, Robert Gates was here in Lancaster just last year for the wedding of his niece
who lives here.
It is just too suspicious that all these mind altering/controlling victimization's and torture, including 24/7 telepathy went robust
and in high gear in 2005, the same year I filed a federal civil action (I withdrew the complaint including information of ISC and
their related activities). I have some suspicions that they were doing some type of remote monitoring back to 1987, but
nothing I can put a finger on compared to what started in 2005. Of course the stalking related victimization's began in 1987.

For what it is worth, ISC/Ferranti had many capabilities for developing technologies. I wish I knew if they were involved in any
of the non lethal weapons that terrorize us.
Also, I may have listed Bobby Ray Inman's career wrong, he was not secretary of the Navy, but Director of the NSA. Here is
part of his (Bobby Ray Inman) wikipedia: (click here) He served as Director of Naval Intelligence from September 1974 to July
1976, then moved to the Defense Intelligence Agency where he served as Vice Director until 1977. He next became the
Director of the National Security Agency. Inman held this post until 1981. His last major position was as the Deputy Director of
the Central Intelligence Agency, a post he held from February 12, 1981 to June 10, 1982.
He was also listed in this document by Thomas Porter "Brief History of MK-ULTRA" Click Here To Link To Document Some
of the Players-"S.A.I.C. involvement in 1993 American Parapsychological Association meeting arrangements, via their
'Cognitive Sciences Laboratory'. Science Applications International Corporation is a big time defense contractor, has held the
largest number of research contracts of any defense contractor. Bobby Ray Inman is on its board of directors, among
others."

Hi Stan. Thanks so much for writing! I also noticed the article about Bobby Ray Inman in this collection because he was
director of NSA in the late 70's and early 80's when I was there! So I must have a look at that soon.

Also, I had no idea that you had connections and information that connect to NSA. Your case may tie into ours somehow.
Hopefully, you could be a plaintiff with us. We have had no clear connection to the federal spy agencies, such as NSA. I'll
check into this. This is valuable information.

Derrick,

I was trying to write a statement of my targeting since November 4th and at that time included
some information on U.S. Secretary of Navy and former Deputy Director of CIA and Board of
Directors of ISC, the company I blew the whistle on in 1987, Bobby Ray Inman. It just so
happens that in your link to the Document Archive of ICOMW - It covers Bobby Ray Inman and
discusses synthetic telepathy and his research on paranormal activities. I have known about
Bobby Ray Inman for years but thought it was important to let you know since he was included
in your link. It is highly probable that this has something to do with my targeting as it relates to
telepathy and electromagnetic weapons attacks. The following is (1)my unfinished statement,
(2)the document contained in your links on Bobby Ray Inman, and a (3)related news article
about Bobby Ray Inman that confirms his ISC relationship.

I think this might be of interest to you and FFCHS as far as sourcing telepathy technology with
the CIA and Navy, as well as other DOD agencies.

1-November 4, 2010 Statement: I have been a Targeted Individual, TI, and Victim since
1987. In 1987 I blew the whistle (public Allegations and Complaints to State and
Federal Authorities of Fraud during merger negotiations with British Defense
Contractor Ferranti International) on an international defense contractor named
International Signal & Control, or ISC, who was selling arms (Everything from
Telemetry Systems to Cluster Bombs) to Iraq via South Africa and was convicted of a
$1 Billion dollar Fraud in 1992 by the United States Attorney and several other federal
agencies. See ABC/News 20/20 and Nightline in 1991. They were founded and
headquartered in my hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I was a shareholder and
was solicited by a top ISC Executives (Convicted as a Mastermind of the Billion Dollar
Fraud) to help finance some of their operations through an affiliate called United Chem
Con. ISC was a Department of Defense (DOD) Contractor and a partner with United
States Intelligence Agencies since it's beginnings in the early 1970's. One of it's first
contracts was Project X with the National Security Agency or NSA of Ft. Meade,
Maryland. Former Secretary of the Navy, Bobby Ray Inman was on the Board of
Directors of ISC and was also on the Board of Directors of Science Applications
International Corporation, or SAIC. SAIC was a huge defense contractor that was the
recipient of the Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, program on Remote Viewing,
which SAIC named Project Stargate. It was reported that Bobby Ray Inman declined
the nomination for Secretary of Defense under the first Clinton Administration because

of the ISC and Trecor scandals. In the early 1990's I was a subcontractor on a project for
the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, or DARPA, with the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, or NIST called TIMIT. The project developed speech corpora for the
development of computer based speech recognition systems. I was also involved in the bidding
of other Department of Defense contracts dealing with information technologies. In 1998 I was
stalked and approached by an employee of the National Security Agency, or NSA in York,
Pennsylvania who said my problems were not with the NSA, but the good ole boys. In 2005 I
was detained by 2 Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA officers in a museum on a military base
in Austin, Texas and was questioned and interviewed regarding my civil actions filed in federal
court for several hours. I was released and told to stay off of all military bases. My brother, a
Family Physician in Austin Texas had to verify my travel plans and the fact that I was staying
with him prior to my release.

2-Document Archive of ICOMW 1982 Central Intelligence Agency


/Admiral Bobby Inman (click here)
The Wall Street Journal of April 22, 1982 reported the resignation of Admiral Bobby Inman as
Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, "a move that government sources believe
was prompted by a dispute over plans for domestic intelligence activities". The report goes on to
say that Admiral Inman objected to a new directive the White House had approved on
counterintelligence operations. "He reportedly felt the new procedures allowed intelligence
agencies to get too heavily involved in spying activities in the U.S. Also, sources said, that he
was miffed because the White House didn't allow him a greater voice in shaping the intelligence
procedures".
From our present vantage point, it seems as if Admiral Inman was in conflict with Vice
President George Herbert Walker Bush, who apparently thought it part of his portfolio
to stage-manage the CIA from his office in the White House because he was a former
director of the Central Intelligence Agency. However, at the time we found this article
(some years after it was published) we were only interested in whether the

new procedures Inman objected to included the use of synthetic


telepathy to entrap persons suspected of spying, and possibly even the
use of synthetic telepathy and other electronic affects to torture
peaceful citizens intosuicide or crimes of violence in order to prove that
the Central Intelligence Agency controlled their minds.
With the intention of resolving the issues behind Admiral Inman's departure from the Central
Intelligence Agency, we telephoned Gerald Seib at the Washington, D.C. office of the Wall
Street Journal. He greeted us quite cordially (for remembering an article he had written years
earlier), but as we proceeded to the matter-at-hand he became vague as to what, if anything,
he could add to the story he had written. We decided to call Admiral Inman himself. We found
Admiral Inman at his new job with a public-private initiative to make the United States
pre-eminent in the manufacture of semi-conductors, and managed to get through to the
aide-de-camp he had brought with him from the Navy. That man certainly could listen. He
promised to discuss the questions we had laid before him and to get back to us regarding our
request to speak with the Admiral. Several weeks later, we telephoned the aide-de-camp again
and he responded that he had, indeed, discussed our conversation with Admiral Inman. Then he
gave us the Admiral's response in a manner which was so precise that we imagined he was
reading it word-for-word from a slip of paper on which he had written it down: "Admiral Inman
is not prepared to discuss that matter - at this time".
Therefore, dear visitor, we give you Gerald Seib's article itself to see what you can make of it.
However, we wish to remind you that from 1983 to 1986 there were a plethora of arrests of
Soviet spies in Washington culminating with the kidnapping in Rome and transport to
Washington of Vitaly Yurchenko, one of the senior officers of the KGB. Yurchenko had the
misfortune of being stationed in the Soviet Embassy in Washington at the time George Herbert
Walker Bush was DCI, and apparently had incurred his enmity.

3-WITHIN A MONTH! THE BRINGING DOWN OF BOBBY RAY INMAN


(click for full article)
So let's stop the juvenile psychoanalyzing of Bobby Ray and cut to the content. The charges
about to surface against Inman in the hearings included possible financial and even criminal
peccadilloes in the private sector, centering around two companies. One was Inman's

role as a member of the board of International Signal and Control, a firm


found by a federal district judge to be a criminal enterprise engaged in
illegal arms dealing, money laundering, and business fraud on a
massive scale. The other firm was Tracor, Inc., an Austin, Texas military contractor of
which Bobby Ray was chief executive, but not before Inman received nearly $1 million in
executive compensation. Then, of course, there was Inman's Nannygate, in which he hastily
paid $6,000 in back Social Security taxes for an aged part-time housekeeper only after he
had been nominated for secretary of defense.

He served as Director of Naval Intelligence from September 1974 to July 1976, then moved to the Defense
Intelligence Agency where he served as Vice Director until 1977. He next became the Director of the
National Security Agency. Inman held this post until 1981. His last major position was as the Deputy

Inman has been influential in various advisory roles. Notably, he chaired a commission on improving
security at U.S. foreign installations after the Marine barracks bombing and the April 1983 US Embassy
bombing in Beirut, Lebanon. The commission's report has been influential in setting security design
standards for U.S. Embassies.

Admiral

After retirement from the Navy, he was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC) in
Austin, Texas for four years and Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Westmark Systems, Inc., a privately owned electronics industry holding
company for three years. Admiral Inman also served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas from 1987 through 1990.
Admiral Inmans primary activity since 1990 has been investing in start-up technology companies, where he is a Managing Director of Gefinor Ventures and
Limestone Ventures. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Massey Energy Company and of several privately held companies. He serves as a Trustee of
the American Assembly and the California Institute of Technology. He is an elected Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration.
President Clinton nominated him as Secretary of Defense, but he withdrew his nomination (see below).
Inman also was on the board of SAIC.[1]
Since 2001, Inman has held the LBJ Centennial Chair in National Policy at The University of Texas at Austin Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, and
in 2005 and again in 2009 was the school's interim dean.[2] Inman graduated from Texas with a bachelor's in history in 1950.
Inman has also served on the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations, Dell Computer, SBC Corporation (now AT&T)[3] and Massey Energy.
In 2011 he became head of the board of directors of Xe Services, formerly Erik Prince's Blackwater and now known as Academi.[4] As of 2013, he sits on the
Board of Directors of Academi.[5]

Nomination for Secretary of Defense


Inman was announced as President Bill Clinton's choice to succeed Les Aspin as Secretary of Defense on December 16, 1993, initially receiving broad
bipartisan support. He accepted the post at first, but withdrew his nomination during a press conference on January 18, 1994.[6]
During the press conference, Inman made angry remarks about comments by New York Times columnist William Safire.[7] Safire wrote paragraphs on Inman's
"anti-Israel bias shown", and ended in a four point list of other negative qualifications. In reply, Inman suggested that Safire had recruited Senator Bob Dole of
Kansas to engage in a "vitriolic attack" on Inman, and also claimed that Dole and Senator Trent Lott were planning to "turn up the heat" on his nomination.
Dole's reaction was to state that "I have no idea what's gotten into Bobby Inman... Admiral Inman's letter doesn't make any sense to me." Lott appeared even
more surprised, saying that "I am floored by [Inman's] bizarre press conference", while an unnamed White House aide added: "Most of us were glued to the
tube, our mouths open in shock."[8]

International Signal and Control (ISC) Scandal


In 1994, after Bobby Ray Inman requested to be withdrawn from consideration as Defense Secretary, his critics speculated that the decision was motivated by a
desire to conceal his links to ISC. Inman was a member of the board of directors of the company, which was allegedly either negligent or approved illegal
exports.[5]

Originally called ESI (Electronic Systems International), the company manufactured sub-assemblies for the AGM-45 Shrike and RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles
in 1974, and just after the Vietnam war which was part of a standard arms contract for the US defense administration (DCAS). The company also had a
commercial repair facility of two meter portable amateur ("ham") radios from a company in New Jersey called Clegg,[2] and manufactured communications
helmet radios for firemen, and electronic outdoor bug zappers.
ISC was involved in two major indiscretions, for which CEO James Guerin received a 15-year prison sentence:
It defrauded and caused the collapse of the British company Ferranti, which acquired it in 1987.[3] It exported classified military technology to South Africa,
which was then forwarded to third countries, notably Iraq.
From 1984 to 1988, ISC sent South Africa more than $30 million in military-related equipment, including telemetry tracking antennae to collect data from
missiles in flight, gyroscopes for guidance systems, and photo-imaging film readers, all of which would form the "backbone" of a medium-range missile
system. Some of this technology was reportedly transferred to Iraq.[7] Another link to Iraq was the supply of the specifications for the Mk 20 Rockeye II cluster
bomb through Chilean defence company Carlos Cardoen, which was able to build an almost identical weapon that was subsequently used against coalition
forces in the Persian Gulf War of JanuaryFebruary 1991.[8]

Statements
In 2006, Inman criticized the Bush administration's use of warrantless domestic wiretaps, making him one of the highest-ranking former intelligence officials to
criticize the program in public.[9][10]

1982 Central Intelligence Agency /Admiral Bobby Inman

The Wall Street Journal of April 22, 1982 reported the resignation of Admiral Bobby Inman as
Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, "a move that government sources believe
was prompted by a dispute over plans for domestic intelligence activities". The report goes on
to say that Admiral Inman objected to a new directive the White House had approved on
counterintelligence operations. "He reportedly felt the new procedures allowed intelligence
agencies to get too heavily involved in spying activities in the U.S. Also, sources said, that he
was miffed because the White House didn't allow him a greater voice in shaping the
intelligence procedures".
From our present vantage point, it seems as if Admiral Inman was in conflict with Vice
President George Herbert Walker Bush, who apparently thought it part of his portfolio to
stage-manage the CIA from his office in the White House because he was a former director of
the Central Intelligence Agency. However, at the time we found this article (some years after it
was published) we were only interested in whether the new procedures Inman objected to
included the use of synthetic telepathy to entrap persons suspected of spying, and possibly
even the use of synthetic telepathy and other electronic affects to torture peaceful citizens into
suicide or crimes of violence in order to prove that the Central Intelligence Agency controlled
their minds.
With the intention of resolving the issues behind Admiral Inman's departure from the Central
Intelligence Agency, we telephoned Gerald Seib at the Washington, D.C. office of the Wall
Street Journal. He greeted us quite cordially (for remembering an article he had written years
earlier), but as we proceeded to the matter-at-hand he became vague as to what, if anything, he
could add to the story he had written. We decided to call Admiral Inman himself.
We found Admiral Inman at his new job with a public-private initiative to make the United
States pre-eminent in the manufacture of semi-conductors, and managed to get through to the
aide-de-camp he had brought with him from the Navy. That man certainly could listen. He
promised to discuss the questions we had laid before him and to get back to us regarding our
request to speak with the Admiral. Several weeks later, we telephoned the aide-de-camp again
and he responded that he had, indeed, discussed our conversation with Admiral Inman. Then
he gave us the Admiral's response in a manner which was so precise that we imagined he was
reading it word-for-word from a slip of paper on which he had written it down: "Admiral
Inman is not prepared to discuss that matter - at this time".

Therefore, dear visitor, we give you Gerald Seib's article itself to see what you can make of it.
However, we wish to remind you that from 1983 to 1986 there were a plethora of arrests of
Soviet spies in Washington culminating with the kidnapping in Rome and transport to
Washington of Vitaly Yurchenko, one of the senior officers of the KGB. Yurchenko had the
misfortune of being stationed in the Soviet Embassy in Washington at the time George Herbert
Walker Bush was DCI, and apparently had incurred his enmity.

Mind Control
CIA MK-Ultra Program

Brief History Of MK-Ultra


CIA Program On Mind Control
By Tom Porter 1996
All Rights Reserved
Started during WWII with research on hypnosis for interrogation, secure courier duties, and reducing
fatigue. Also research into effects of primitive drugs like barbiturates and cannabis as far as drugassisted interrogation goes.
George Estabrooks was the leading proponent of hypnosis as the be-all and end-all of manipulating
peoples minds. His book, 'Hypnotism', published in the early forties, has been decried as too fantastic
and improbable in terms of describing the capabilities of hypnosis with certain very suggestible subjects,
but his arguments and examples remain valid to this day.
Start of Cold War and Korean War in particular gave a big boost to mind control research with the
emergence of 'Brain Washing' as a common term. Supposedly a development of the dastardly ChiComs, the term was actually coined by a magazine writer later found to be on the CIA payroll as an
agent of influence. Postulating a 'brainwashing gap' The CIA got the go-ahead for research into
countering communist mind control efforts and developing their own to aid in the espionage wars.
Hypnosis, drugs, and psycho-surgery; separately and combined, were the tools of this quest for the
ultimate truth serum on the one hand, and the capability to create an agent who could not have his or her
mission tortured out of them, or even be aware that they were carrying secret information given to them
in an altered state of consciousness. More and more sophisticated drugs were experimented with, such as
LSD, Ketamine, and Psilocybine. Lobotomy and the implantation of electrodes were considered as
methods for creating a compliant agent. Electro-Convulsive Shock, combined with LSD, sedation for
days at a time, and constantly replaying the patient's own voice through helmet-mounted headphones
was a notorious Canadian researcher's recipe for mind control.
One of the most remarkable cases of mind control involves a famous model of the late 40's and 50's
named Candy Jones. In the book, "The Control of Candy Jones" the author reviewed hours of tapes
made by Candy Jones and her husband which revealed a systematic program to create and manipulate
alter personalities as the foundation for programmed couriers resistant to torture, where the primary
personality would not even be aware of the secret information being carried. The information could be
summoned forth via a post-hypnotic command or response to a pre-programmed cue.
Research continued into early 70's by CIA's own admission during the Church hearings. John Marks,
author of the best study of CIA mind control experiments, makes the subtle differentiation that the CIA
congressional witnesses might truthfully say that all research done by the TSS Directorate had ended,
since the programs were moved into other areas once operational techniques had been developed. Many
of the names mentioned in reference to mind control research turn up in the few references to supposed
dead-end research in ESP.

Brief History Of MK-Ultra

Page 2 of 4

There have been persistent rumors of Navy research involving attempts at telepathy from submarines
under water, the Nautilus being the most famous of these. Detection of enemy submarines, and
communicating with our own, has continued to be an important area of conventional research for the
Navy, so it is no surprise that researching the use of ESP for these purposes would be of interest.
Communicating with a submerged submarine is the only kind of communications where the very act of
receiving puts the receiver in danger, since submarines must normally stick an antenna out of the water
for high speed radio traffic, or rely on trailing a long wire antenna under water relatively near the surface
to receive very slow speed traffic using ELF radio waves. Newer techniques may involve the use of
blue-green wavelength lasers, but evidently penetration to any depth is still a problem.
If you look at telepathy as a problem in the transfer of information in a very noisy environment, then
certain existing solutions suggest themselves: There have already been experiments in the transmission
of five distinct symbols via telepathy, namely Zener card symbols. I suggest that there is already a way
of transmitting information using two symbols only, namely Morse Code. Current ELF or VLF radio
transmission methods for communicating with fleet ballistic missile submarines to issue them their
launch orders involve very low data transfer rates, on the order of 3 to 30 bits per minute, if I am not
mistaken. Messages are very short, consisting of pre-formulated action or targeting codes. I suggest that
telepathic 'Zener Morse' is an operational technique for information transfer under severe signal to noise
conditions. In fact the use of five Zener symbols would increase data transfer rates, but at the expense of
a higher error rate due to the problems in discriminating between five and just two symbols.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS AND REPORTS
Reports of Project SCANNATE in 70's, most likely done by Swann, since his method for RV is very
similar to that reportedly used in this project; namely providing latitude and longitude coordinates and
telling what is there. Later changed to assigning random number for unique session number and Swann
picked up location anyway.
"The New Age Army:" Over the past 10 - 15 years a number of military personnel, most in significant
positions in Military Intelligence, have expressed interest in and directed programs or projects that have
explored paranormal activities and capabilities. Several government studies on Enhancing Human
Performance took place during this time. Most, if not all of them, were savaged in the NRC study on
Enhancing Human Performance, but recent critiques and rebuttals of this study have indicated severe
irregularities in the evaluation procedures for papers submitted to the NRC study, suppression of
favorable results, and a definitely one-sided evaluation panel.
Much modern research in parapsychology tends to support the idea that Enhanced Perception is a
survival-related trait from our distant past, not the tip of the iceberg as far as new emerging human
powers go. This is supported by the observation that many psychic episodes center around catastrophic
or traumatic events. Studies of Siberian and Eskimo shamans also show the development of ESP or
similar shamanic powers due to injury, exposure to cold, and isolation. Dissociation with tendencies
towards Multiple Personality Disorder also occurs in these Shamans due to their ordeals. This is in
contrast to the experiences of most tropical shamans who tend to find their powers through exposure to
mind-altering drugs.
The Vietnam war, with its exceedingly stressful combat environment of no clear-cut enemies combined
with ambush being the normal way of making contact, produced a large body of individual reports
stressing enhanced perception and awareness. This showed up as detecting ambushes and booby-traps
before they were sprung; detecting the presence of enemy soldiers without any conscious sign of them;
time dilation when bullets could be seen slowly traveling around the battlefield, and even reports of
soldiers avoiding those bullets by jumping out of their paths as they were shot at.

Dr. Ian Wickramasekera of Eastern Virginia Medical School has studied the expansion of sensory input
during trauma which would lead to time dilation, etc. This gentleman has also studied the effects of
sensory deprivation on hypnotic susceptibility in young women.
In a recent article in U.S. News & World Report, John Gittinger, a CIA psychologist associated with a
CIA front organization, the Human Ecology Society admitted to knowledge of experiments in
developing ESP by giving electric shocks to subjects when they gave wrong answers.
Recently, a Russian researcher in psychotronics, Dr. Igor Smirnov, has helped to start up a new Virginia
company, called Psycho-Technologies, I believe. It is supposed to conduct research on various kinds of
LTL technology, with a concentration on Soviet-developed psychotronic warfare capabilities involving
the use of electromagnetic and sonic waves to influence and disable individuals or crowds. Supposedly
this ranges from simply falling to influencing peoples thoughts via audio or visual subliminal messages.
SOME OF THE PLAYERS
The Monroe Institute, located near Charlottesville, Virginia. Bob Monroe, author of many books on Out
of Body experiences, has long and close ties with the C.I.A. James Monroe, Bob's father, if I'm not
mistaken, was involved with the Human Ecology Society, a C.I.A. front organization of the late 50's and
60's. The Monroe Institute has done research on accelerated learning and foreign language learning
through the use of altered states of consciousness for the C.I.A. and other government organizations.
Government interest in the more radical research going on at the institute remains only tantalizing
speculation. Official classified document storage boxes have been seen at their mail-order outlet located
in Lovingston, VA.
Albert Stubblebine and John Alexander. Both retired Army officers, a General and Colonel respectively.
Both worked at U.S. Army Intelligence & Security Command, or INSCOM, Stubblebine as its head at
one time. Stubblebine has publicly stated that an enlisted man under his command inadvertently
'mentally fried' an intelligence gathering computer located in Augsberg Germany. This was Lynn
Buchanan, discussed later.
Alexander wrote the rebuttal to the NRC paper on Enhancing Human Performance. He used this rebuttal
as the basis for a book he co-authored called "The Warrior's Edge" which describes various techniques
for enhancing performance and perception utilizing the power of the mind. (Alexander headed up
research on Less Than Lethal weapons at Los Alamos National Laboratories until 'retiring.')
Jack Houk, Aerospace Engineer, and his Spoon bending parties, done for last 12 - 15 years. Stubblebine,
Alexander, and others have attended and hosted these parties. While even Houk admits that much of the
bending activity that occurs is due to hysterical strength, people getting excited, etc. there are always a
few really perplexing feats of bending at each party. Curled and twisted hacksaw blades comes to mind,
since these normally snap if they are bent.
S.A.I.C. involvement in 1993 American Parapsychological Association meeting arrangements, via their
'Cognitive Sciences Laboratory'. Science Applications International Corporation is a big time defense
contractor, has held the largest number of research contracts of any defense contractor. Bobby Ray
Inman is on its board of directors, among others.
Startup of TREAT, Center for Treatment and Research into Experienced Anomalous Trauma, by Rima
Leibow. Leibow is a psychiatrist who started studying trauma associated with alien abductions, noting
its similarities to PTSD. She has hosted open and closed meetings for the past six years. Leibow is a

close friend of/or married to Stubblebine, which certainly raises some interesting questions. Another
abduction researcher and friend is Victoria Lacas, who happens to be married to Alexander.
One other TREAT hanger-on, and friend of Stubblebine's, is Lynn Buchanan. Buchanan offers services
similar to PSI-TECH and has worked with Ed Dames on a contract basis. He taught a Remote Viewing
workshop at the latest TREAT conference. Also offers continued training in RV skills to those whom he
decides to work with. Veteran of INSCOM, and the famous 'computer frier' mentioned by Stubblebine.
A real mystery man in all of this is C.B. Scott Jones: Ex-Navy Intelligence officer, one time aide to
Senator Claiborne Pell, founder of the Human Potential Foundation; Jones appears to have his fingers in
every 'weird' pie around. He has been involved with several UFO research organizations, dolphin-human
communications research, served on the boards of several scholarly parapsychological research
organizations. Jones strikes many people as a 'Cardinal Richelieu' figure, manipulating events behind the
scenes, but rarely emerging into the spotlight.
There is literally no conference on parapsychology that he does not attend. He has traveled and done
research with Alexander and Rima Leibow. He works at keeping very well informed about the 'pulse' of
the New Age community and about UFO and parapsychological research in particular. He rarely writes
anything for print, but keeps in contact with many of the players in the fields. He has presented papers to
many conferences, most of the examples I have seen are complex, lengthy, and elaborate pieces of disinformation which leave the listeners more confused than when he started. This is an individual who
bears watching.

Appellant claims that he cannot effectively communicate with


counsel any longer due to his fixed delusional belief that a radio
transmitter has been inserted in his brain which monitors his every
move and which can prove that he is innocent of the charges. At the
competency hearing, Dr. Robert Sadoff, M.D. and Dr. Larry Rotenberg, M.D.
testified on behalf of the defense and Dr. Timothy Michals, M.D. testified on
behalf of the Commonwealth. Appellant also testified.
Appellant testified regarding his belief that the Department of
Corrections implanted a radio transmitter in his head that enables
them to control his thoughts, pump conversation into Appellants
head, and project images into his field of vision. Additionally,
Appellant claims that his counsel is involved in a number of illegal
activities and is part of a conspiracy to defraud his family of large
sums of money which initially started in 1979.1
Appellant testified that in 1979, there was a drug raid in counsels law office
involving members of the Pagan motorcycle gang and Appellants mother. He
claims that during this raid, a radio transmitter, similar to the one he claims
is implanted in his head, was removed from his mothers abdomen with a
knife. Appellant is disturbed that his counsel will not litigate this issue of the
radio transmitter. He believes that some type of technology would enable the
prosecution and/or the defense to explore the actual crime scene via the
radio transmitter and that, therefore, the issue of the radio transmitter must
be explored in the [J-205-2000] 5 pending PCRA proceedings.7 Appellant
insists that he is not mentally ill and that he is innocent of the murders. He
also believes that his counsel actively is seeking to have him executed.
The court explicitly disagreed with counsels claim that Appellants delusional
beliefs interfere with his ability to trust and work with his counsel. In support
of that conclusion, the court noted that Appellant has not terminated his
relationship with counsel despite his attempts to advance his theory
regarding the Transmitters; he was extremely polite and respectful to
counsel during the hearing and demonstrated no hostility or animosity
towards either of his counsel; and that if Appellant honestly believed that his
attorneys were working to have him executed, or that they had defrauded his
family in the past, he would not treat them so congenially. The court
ultimately concluded that Appellant was not mentally ill and not incompetent
to proceed.2

At trial and on direct appeal, Appellant was represented by Attorneys James


Cullen and Vincent Quinn of the Office of the Public Defender, both of whom
also represented Appellant at his first trial and first direct appeal.4
2 Appellant initially was tried and convicted for these two murders in 1986.
This Court, however, reversed those convictions and sentences of death and
granted Appellant a new trial after determining that Appellants statements
made to police after he had invoked his Miranda rights improperly had been
admitted into evidence. Commonwealth v. Zook, 553 A.2d 920 (Pa. 1989)
(Zook I). 3 With respect to each murder, the jury found two aggravating
circumstances, that Appellant committed a killing while in the perpetration of
a felony, and that Appellant had been convicted of another murder,
committed either before or at the time of the offense at issue, which it
determined outweighed the one itigating factor, that being mercy. 42 Pa.C.S.
9711(d)(6); (d)(11), and (e)(8), respectively.
4 At the time of both trials, Attorney Cullen was an assistant public defender
for the County of Lancaster. However, prior to the time of the PCRA hearing,
he ascended to the bench of the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County.

For purposes of this appeal, however, we will refer to Judge Cullen as Attorney
Cullen.3
Attorney Quinn recalls Attorney Cullen having told him that the records
referenced a head injury and that Attorney Cullen would consult with Dr.
Gottlieb on the matter. However, Attorney Cullen testified that he could recall
no specifics discussed with either Dr. Gottlieb or Dr. John. Attorney Quinn
testified at the PCRA hearing that evidence of organic brain damage, indeed,
would represent significant mitigating evidence. Dr. Jerome Gottlieb, a
psychiatrist, testified at the PCRA hearing that he was contacted by the

defense in 1985, prior to the initial trial.

HOW THE WAR WAS WIRED | Main | LESS LETHAL OPTIONS FOR
POLICING IRAQ
DARPA WANTS YOUR LIFE INDEXABLE AND SEARCHABLE
It's a memory aid! A robotic assistant! An epidemic detector! An all-seeing,
ultra-intrusive spying program!
The Pentagon is about to embark on a stunningly ambitious research project
designed to gather every conceivable bit of information about a person's life,
index it and make it searchable.
What national security experts and civil libertarians want to know is, why the
hell would the Defense Department want to do such a thing?
The embryonic LifeLog program would take every e-mail you've sent or
received, every picture you've taken, every web page you've surfed, every
phone call you've had, every TV show you've watched, every magazine
you've read, and dump it into a giant database.
All of this -- and more -- would be combined with a GPS transmitter, to keep
tabs on where you're go ing; audio -visual sensors, to capture all that you see
or say; and biomedical monitors, to keep track of your health.
This gigantic amalgamation of personal information could then be used to
"trace the 'threads' of an individual's life," to see exactly how a relationship
or events developed, according to a briefing from the Defense Advanced
Projects Research Agency, LifeLog's sponsor.
Someone with access to the database could "retrieve a specific thread of past
transactions, or recall an experience from a few seconds ago or from many
years earlier by using a search-engine interface."
On the surface, the project seems like the latest in a long line of DARPA's
"blue sky" research efforts, most of which never make it out of the lab. But
Steven Aftergood, a defense analyst with the Federation of American
Scientists, says he is worried.
With its controversial Total Information Awareness database project, DARPA
already is planning on tracking all of an individual's "transactional data" -like what we buy and who gets our e-mail.

Aftergood said he believes LifeLog could go far beyond that, adding physical
information (like how we feel) and media data (like what we read) to this
transactional data.
"LifeLog has the potential to become something like 'TIA cubed,'" he said.
My Wired News article has details on the LifeLog program.
THERE'S MORE: The idea of committing everything in your life to a machine
is nearly sixty years old. In 1945, Vannevar Bush -- who headed the White
House's Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II -published a landmark Atlantic Monthly article, "As We May Think." In it, he
describes a "memex" -- a "device in which an individual stores all his books,
records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be
consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility."
Minicomputer visionary Gordon Bell, now working at Microsoft, sees his
"MyLifeBits" project as a fulfillment of Bush's vision.
There are other commercial and academic efforts to weave a life into
followable threads, including parallel processing prophet David Gelernter's
"Scopeware" and "Haystack," from MIT's David Karger.
AND MORE: LifeLog may eventually dwarf Total Information Awareness,
DARPA's ultra-invasive database effort. But "TIA" could wind up being pretty
damn large on its own, with 50 times more data than the Library of
Congress, according to the Associated Press.
AND MORE: Lovers of civil liberties, you now have nothing to fear.
Henceforth, the creepy "Total Information Awareness" program will be known
as "Terrorism Information Awareness."
Feel better?

Internet Pioneers
Vannevar Bush
Vannevar Bush was never
directly involved with the
creation or development of the
Internet. He died before the
creation of the World Wide Web.
Yet many consider Bush to be
the Godfather of our wired age
often making reference to his
1945 essay, "As We May Think."
In his article, Bush described a
theoretical machine he called a
"memex," which was to enhance
human memory by allowing the
user to store and retrieve
documents linked by associations. This associative linking
was very similar to what is known today as hypertext.
Indeed, Ted Nelson who later did pioneering work with
hypertext credited Bush as his main influence (Zachary,
399). Others, such as J.C.R. Licklider and Douglas
Engelbart have also paid homage to Bush.
Bush's innovative idea for automating human memory
was obviously important in the development digital age,
but even more important was his influence on the
institution of science in America. His work to create a
relationship between the government and the scientific
establishment during WWII changed the way scientific
research is carried on in the U.S. and fostered the
environment in which the Internet was later created.
Bush's Early Years
Bush was born on March 11, 1890, in Chelsea,
Massachusetts. He had two sisters. His father was a
Universalist minister. As a child, Bush was sickly and was
occasionally bedridden for long stretches of time. Still, he
was self-confident and sometimes got into fights with
other boys. He once said, "all of [my] recent ancestors
[before my father] were sea captains, and they have a
way of running things without any doubt. So it may have
been partly that, and partly my association with my
grandfather, who was a whaling skipper. That left me

with some inclination to run a show once I was in it."


(Zachary, 23).
Bush did well in school where he showed an aptitude for
math. When he graduated he went off to Tufts College to
study engineering. Half of his
expenses were paid by a
scholarship. He worked as a tutor
and aid in the math department to
pay the other half. Bush studied
earnestly and earned a master's
degree in the time it usually takes to
earn a bachelor's degree. His
academic success fueled his desire
to do things his way not depending
on others' rules. This trait would
become increasingly evident later in his life.
While at Tufts Bush enjoyed his first experience as an
inventor. His invention was a land surveying device he
called the profile tracer. It looked something like a
lawnmower. As it was pushed over land it automatically
calculated elevations and drew a crude map. It allowed
one man to do the work usually done by three. Bush
thought it would be commercially successful, but it never
caught on. He learned from this failure. He learned that to
become a real engineer he needed to learn more than
math and physics. He needed to learn how to effectively
deal with people.
After graduation from Tufts, Bush went to work for
General Electric testing electrical equipment. He was laid
off after a fire broke out in his plant. He then took a
position teaching math at Tufts' sister college-Clark
University in Massachusetts. That was in 1914. The next
year he decided to return to school himself. He was
offered a large fellowship of $1,50o to pursue his
doctorate under a professor named Arthur Webster.
Webster wanted Bush to devote his doctoral work to the
study of acoustics. Bush, who did not care to be told what
to do, declined the fellowship. Instead, he went to MIT
where he earned his doctorate in engineering in less than
a year ad then returned to Tufts as a assistant professor.
World War I
Bush had paid little attention to the war before the U.S.
entered into it in 1917, but then he wanted to aid the
effort. Other scientists also wanted to lend their services,
but the military and government mostly declined their
offers. In 1916, a group of interested scientists formed

the National Research Council (NRC). The council's main


purpose was to produce innovations in weaponry. One of
its main tasks was to improve submarine detection.
Bush had an idea for a device that would use magnetic
fields to detect submarines. In May 1917, he traveled to
Washington to meet with the director of the NRC. The
director liked Bush's idea and thought it was worth
pursuing. Bush convinced the director to let him handle
the research personally without interference. It was
important to Bush that he be in control of his project. His
device proved to be successful in testing, but Navy
officials, who generally viewed Bush as somewhat of a
maverick, did not deploy the device correctly and it
proved virtually useless in combat. Bush again learned
that a successful engineer also had to be a good politician.
Between the Wars
In 1919, Bush left Tufts and went to MIT's electrical
engineering department. By the 1930's Bush was working
on analog computers. These were large mechanical
devices that looked quite different than today's digital
machines. They actually used large gears and other
mechanical parts to solve equations. In 1931, he
completed the first differential analyzer-a machine that
was used to solve differential equations.
Bush's Differential Analyzer
Bush also
worked on
developing
machines
that would
automate
human
thinking.

Specialization in just about every field of academia was


creating a glut of information. Something was needed to
help sort through the growing store of accumulated
knowledge. In the 1930' s microfilm, which had been
around for nearly a century, was growing in popularity as
a storage device, especially among librarians. Bush, a
photography enthusiast, was quite interested in this
resurgent technology. He proposed to build a machine for
the FBI that could review 1,000 fingerprints a minute.

They turned him down. But he continued to pursue his


latest vision.
Bush called his device a rapid selector. It would be
housed in a desk and could store huge amounts of
information on microfilm. The user could rapidly select
documents which would then be projected on screen. In
the late 1930's, Bush oversaw the building of four rapid
selectors. They were plagued with technical problems
and hindered by the state of current technology, but he
was among the very first to attempt to build a personal
information processor, and these early experiences
provided a solid base for his landmark article, "As We
May Think."

In 1937, Bush became the president of the Carnegie


Institution. The institution spent $1.5 million annually on
research. The presidency of the institution came with a
lot of prestige. The president influenced the direction of
research in the U.S. and informally advised the
government on scientific matters.
World War II
The U.S. was not prepared for the second world war.
Little was spent on military research. The military
research that was done was done by military personnel
and often duplicated between the different branches. The
military looked down on engineers as little more than
salesmen. By 1940, Bush and other American scientists
felt that the country needed a new organization to
conduct military research. Scientists and the
government/military, as well as business would need to
cooperate in the event of American involvement in the

war.
On June 12, 1940, Bush met with President Roosevelt
and detailed his plan for mobilizing military research. He
proposed a new organization he called the National
Defense Research Committee (NDRC). The committee
would bring together government, military, business,
and scientific leaders to coordinate military research.
Roosevelt quickly agreed and thus the NDRC was
created. Bush was made chairman and given a direct line
to the White House. In mid-1941, The Office of Scientific
Research and Development was set up. The NDRC had
been funded by presidential emergency funds and was
often short on money. The OSRD was congressionally
funded. The NDRC was subsumed under the OSRD as its
chief operating unit. Bush became director of the OSRD.
The NDRC and then the OSRD were originally set up to
support and augment Army and Navy research, but by
the end of the war the OSRD was leading military
research. Many useful innovations resulted from OSRD
research and development including improvements in
radar, the proximity fuse, anti-submarine tactics, and
various secret devices for the OSS (the precursor of the
CIA). Bush was also very closely involved in the
Manhattan Project which developed the first atomic
bomb. Of course most of OSRD's work was top secret
during the war, but Bush as its leader became something
of a celebrity. Colliers magazine hailed him as the "man
who may win or lose the war" (Ratcliff, 1942).
Bush's work with the NDRC and OSRD definitely helped
the U.S. and its allies win the war. Bush also changed the
way basic scientific research was done in the U.S. He
proved that technology was key to winning a war and this
created a new respect for scientists. He institutionalized
the relationship between government, business, and the
scientific community. Paul Ceruzzi, curator of the
Smithsonian Institutions says, " Bush is responsible for
the whole architecture of government support for
science" (Ceruzzi in Zachary). It was this government
support of research that would later foster the creation of
the Internet.
The War Ends
By late 1944, Allied victory was inevitable. Bush began to
look to the future. He believed that after the war the
nation would still need permanent support for research.
In March 1945, Bush drafted an article entitled,
"Science-The Endless Frontier." He outlined the

importance of continued support for research. He called


for a National Research Foundation that "should develop
and promote a national policy for scientific research and
scientific education, should support basic research in
nonprofit organizations, should develop scientific talent in
American youth by means of scholarships and
fellowships, and should by contract and otherwise
support long -range research on military matters" (Bush,
28). His dreams for were never fully realized, but in 1950
the National Science Foundation (NSF) was created. The
NSF did not quite fulfill Bush's expectations. It was not as
powerful as his proposal called for. Nonetheless, the
marriage between science and government was secured.
"As We May Think"
In 1945, Bush also published an article in the Atlantic
Monthly called, "As We May Think." He had written
earlier drafts of this article years before he actually
published it. His main purpose in writing the article was
to influence "thinking regarding science in the modern
world" and to "emphasize the opportunity for the
application of science in a field which is largely neglected
by science" (Bush in Nyce & Kahn, 81). That field was the
automation or augmentation of human thought.
In the article he describes a theoretical machine called a
"memex." It was an obvious extension of Bush's earlier
work with the rapid selector. The memex was also to be
a storage and retrieval device using microfilm. It would
consist of a desk with viewing screens, a keyboard,
selection buttons and levers, and microfilm storage.
Information stored on the microfilm could be retrieved
rapidly and projected on a screen. The machine was to
extend the powers of human memory and association.
Just as the human mind forms memories through
associations, the user of the memex would be able to
make links between documents. Bush called these
associative trails and offered this example in his article:
"The owner of the memex let us say, is interested in
the origin and properties of the bow and arrow.
Specifically he is studying why the short Turkish bow
was apparently superior to the English long bow in
the skirmishes of the Crusades. He has dozens of
possibly pertinent books and articles in his memex.
First he runs through an encyclopedia, finds an
interesting but sketchy article, leaves it projected.
Next, in a history, he finds another pertinent item, and
ties the two together. Thus he goes, building a trail of

many items. Occasionally he inserts a comment of his


own, either linking it into the main trail or joining it by
a side trail to a particular item. When it becomes
evident that the elastic properties of available materials
had a great deal to do with the bow, he branches off
on a side trail which takes him through textbooks on
elasticity and physical constants. He inserts a page of
longhand analysis of his own. Thus he builds a trail of
his interest through the maze of materials available to
him." (Bush, 15).
This system is remarkably similar to modern hypertext.
In fact, Ted Nelson, who coined the term "hypertext" in
the 1960's, acknowledges his debt to Bush. "Bush was
right," says Nelson (Nelson in Nyce and Kahn, 245).
Vannevar Bush died on June 30, 1974, years before the
Internet became widely popular or the World Wide Web
even existed. With the growing popularity of the Internet
many now look back through its history and see Bush as a
visionary. Even when Bush was alive he seemed to
always be looking toward the future, or perhaps he saw
the present a little differently than most othershe was
fond of saying, "It is earlier than we think" (Zachary,
408).

Re: Is County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania Ground Zero for Organized Stalking and Covert
Surveillance?
Derrick,
My pleasure. Derrick, I was trying to get group rates at our new Lancaster Convention Center
Marriot Hotel last week, just as a little fact finding mission. I have a theory that I would like to send
your way. I thought it would be very fruitful to bring some TI's together for a conference, unless you
think the exposure would be harmful.
I believe that they try new models for harassment; organized stalking and surveillance on me here
in Lancaster. Remember, Lancaster is now one of the most "Watched Communities" in the country.
"With those cameras, the Safety Coalition will operate and monitor 165 cameras across Lancaster
City making Lancaster the most watched city of its size in the nation." See article attached,
Watching you: City to add 105 more cameras.
I believe that Lancaster may be ground zero for some of the models of organized stalking and
harassment that we TI's experience and wanted to get some reaction from Lancaster. Some history
on the Lancaster Convention Center. Dale High of High Industries is the lead partner in our new
convention center/hotel. It is first class all the way. Now in the late 1980's I was a joint venture
partner with Dale High in American Helix Technology Company/Advanced Media Group. American
Helix was a cd manufacturer and I and my company Advanced Media Group was the CD-ROM
division of American Helix. I was one of a handful of CD-ROM manufacturers in the domestic United
States back then. Also in 2005 I filed a civil action against the lead hotel, the Eden Resort Inn, for
trying to block the development and building of the Hotel/Convention Center, see attached.
Now, some history about Lancaster and the intelligence community. Back in the 1980's there were
several defense contractors located in Lancaster, the main being International Signal & Control,
which I, of course, blew the whistle on a billion dollar fraud and arms to Iraq.
Click here for an overview of ISC.
Click here to see the Lancaster Newspapers Archives regarding International Signal & Control, or
ISC.
Click here to view the live video of the WGAL-TV News Broadcast of October 31, 1991 the evening of
the ISC indictments. The U.S. Department of Justice and other U.S. Agencies held a Press
Conference in the Philadelphia Federal Courthouse to announce the indictments and $ Billion Dollar
Fraud.

Now politically, Lancaster is and has always been predominately Republican. Lancaster is one of the
oldest cities in the country and our courthouse was one of the first in this country. Lancaster has one
of the oldest fraternities of the Masons. Lancaster and the George W. Bush administration has a
close and very "interesting relationship". George H. Bush had a very close relationship with ISC, and
of course the NSA and CIA all had a very "close" relationship with International Signal & Control, or
ISC. The following are some transcripts for Ted Koppel and ABC News Nightline regarding ISC and
Arms to Iraq and the intelligence community. The transcripts are contained in my Amicus for Case
No. 2006-cv-2160 filed in the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.
Now, Robert Gates, presently the Secretary of the United States Defense Department, and his
relationship to Lancaster. First of all, the attached video is the authentic transcript of Robert Gates'
confirmation hearing in September of 1991 for the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
If you fast forward to approximately 9:00:00 you will see the back and forth questions from Senator
Murkowski to Robert Gates regarding the allegations by several members of the U.S. Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence regarding his alleged involvement with ISC and the Arms deals with
Carlos Cardoen and the shipping of cluster bombs through South Africa and on to Iraq. Of course, he
denied all of the allegations.
Robert Gates also has relatives that live in Lancaster County, if fact he attended a wedding here a
few months ago, on May 3, 2009 at St. John Neuman Catholic Church in Manhiem Township,
Lancaster County. His wife has a niece that lives in Manheim Township.
Now, I'll give you the ABC News Nightline May 23, 1991 excerpt regarding ISC and the NSA,
National Security Agency:
"It all started legally, if covertly, back in 1974. That's when the National Security Agency, a supersecret U.S. Intelligence unit asked ISC to help complete project X, a chain of electronic listening
posts based at South Africa's Simonstown Naval Station. South Africa was using these posts to
follow Soviet submarine traffic off of the Cape of Good Hope. To ensure secrecy, ISC and the NSA
made sure shipments could not be tracked back to them. They created a company called Gamma
Systems Associates. In fact, this company was nothing more than a post office box at John F.
Kennedy Airport. Gamma was a cut-out. ... But this sanctioned covert operation was stopped in
1977 when President Carter, a strong opponent of South Africa's apartheid regime, told U.S. firms to
stop any military-related business with Pretoria. But ISC continue shipping electronics, some civilian,
some military, to South Africa. The in the early 1980's, South Africa began to intensify its efforts at
ballistic missile development. For ISC, that was a golden opportunity because on of its top
executives was a man named Clyde Ivey, an American electronics expert who has been the father of
South Africa's missile program. Ivey had extraordinary contacts in the nations defense structure.
Beginning in 1984, federal investigators say, senior ISC executives, including Ivey, began regular
contacts with CIA officials." You can read the rest. The entire transcript of the May 23, 1991 ABC
News/Nightline broadcast.
Now remember, George H. Bush was director of CIA. "He served in this role for 357 days, from
January 30, 1976 to January 20, 1977.[22] The CIA had been rocked by a series of revelations,
including those based on investigations by Senator Frank Church's Committee regarding illegal and
unauthorized activities by the CIA, and Bush was credited with helping to restore the agency's
morale.[23] In his capacity as DCI, Bush gave national security briefings to Jimmy Carter both as a
Presidential candidate and as President-elect, and discussed the possibility of remaining in that
position in a Carter administration[24] but it was not to be," according to Wikipedia.
Now, lets get to Bobby Ray Inman, former Navy, Director of the National Security Agency (NSA),
former Director of International Signal & Control (ISC), and currently part of the Mind Control
industry. The following appears on the Welcome page of my website:

"S.A.I.C. involvement in 1993 American Para psychological Association meeting arrangements, via
their 'Cognitive Sciences Laboratory'. Science Applications International Corporation is a big time
defense contractor, has held the largest number of research contracts of any defense contractor.
Bobby Ray Inman (ISC Board of Directors) is on its board of directors, among others."
by John Porter, CIA Program on Mind Control copyright 1996. In 1994, after Bobby Ray Inman
requested to be withdrawn from consideration as Bill Clinton's first Defense Secretary, his critics
speculated that the decision was motivated by a desire to conceal his links to ISC. Inman was a
member of the so-called "shadow board" of the company which was allegedly either negligent or
approved the exports." by Wikipedia on International Signal and Control, (ISC).
Now, lets list the former Navy personnel:
George H. Bush, former President of the United States, former Director of CIA.
James Guerin, President and Founder of International Signal & Control.
Bobby Ray Inman, former Director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and Director of
International Signal & Control, (ISC).
My father, Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr.
His father, Samuel J. Caterbone, Sr.
George Noory, of Coast to Coast Radio (just anecdotal, nothing assumed or alleged).
George W. Bush flew with the Navy.
James Cross
I will Finish later and add more.
Next we get to Jim Guerin's attorney back in 1989 through at least 1992. His name was Joseph
Tate, of Philadelphia. This link will take you to a document regarding Joseph Tate, James Guerin and
Joseph Roda, Esq., of Lancaster, my former attorney who said I fabricated everything back in 1987.
The document contains a letter of September 12, 2005 from Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald
regarding Scooter Libby, Former Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff. the letter involves
Scooter Libby's Grand Jury Indictment for leaking Covert CIA Operative Valerie Plame and eventually
outing her.
Now in Austin Texas in July of 2005 I was detained by 2 Agents from The Defense Intelligence
Agency. I was merely visiting a Military Museum, that had old and vintage helicopters and airplanes.
near where my brother, Dr. Phillip Caterbone lived. I was visiting on my way to California. While
inside the museum 2 Agents from the Department of Defense Intelligence Agency escorted me
outside to my Honda Odyssey and interrogated me making me confirm that I was visiting and
staying with my brother. They caused a problem for my brother's Medical Practice by shaking up
one of his secretaries. The reviewed my court documents for CATERBONE v. Lancaster County
Prison, et. al., Case No. 2005-cv-0288 filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania. The demanded that I stay off all military bases before releasing me.
In 2006 I was telepathic with an older NSA executive on many occasions who wanted to meet me at
the Clipper Stadium who told me he wanted to rent a facility in Lancaster for a training exercise. I
told him to to and see Dale High and the High Group for space at the Greenfield Industrial Park. He
said he was retiring and that our discussions were keeping him a few weeks longer than expected.
We had intimate discussions of my history and the Chesapeake Bay Area. We also discussed Sheryl
Crow, and he told me his wife was a fan. I turned him on to her new album, Wildflower, and he said
she liked it. We had to disengage because he was being harassed by other telepathic assailants.
My former secretary (Susan Bare) at Pflumm Contractors, Inc., where I was controller and was hired
to rescue the company from near bankruptcy in 1993, told me that her husband, Ross Bare, who
grew up just some 10 or so doors from me, worked for the NSA. She disclosed this soon after I hired
her in 1994 or 1995.

U.S. Sponsored Mind Control and the 2009 Senate Investigations into CIA Interrogation Programs

Now, some history about Lancaster and the intelligence community. Back in the
1980's there were several defense contractors located in Lancaster, the main
being International Signal & Control, which I, of course, blew the whistle on a
billion dollar fraud and arms to Iraq.
Click here for an overview of ISC.
Click here to see the Lancaster Newspapers Archives regarding International
Signal
&
Control,
or
ISC.
Click here to view the live video of the WGAL-TV News Broadcast of October 31,
1991 the evening of the ISC indictments. The U.S. Department of Justice and
other U.S. Agencies held a Press Conference in the Philadelphia Federal
Courthouse to announce the indictments and $ Billion Dollar Fraud.
Click here for Part 2 of the WGAL-TV 8 Broadcast.
Now politically, Lancaster is and has always been predominately Republican.
Lancaster is one of the oldest cities in the country and our courthouse was one of
the first in this country. Lancaster has one of the oldest fraternities of the
Masons. Lancaster and the George W.Bush administration has a close and very
"interesting relationship". George H. Bush had a very close relationship with ISC,
and of course the NSA and CIA all had a very "close" relationship with
International Signal & Control, or ISC. The following are some transcripts for Ted
Koppel and ABC News Nightline regarding ISC and Arms to Iraq and the
intelligence community. The transcripts are contained in my Amicus for Case No.
2006-cv-2160 filed in the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.
Now, Robert Gates, presently the Secretary of the United States Defense
Department, and his relationship to Lancaster. First of all, the attached video is
the authentic transcript of Robert Gates' confirmation hearing in September of
1991 for the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). If you fast forward
to approximately 9:00:00 you will see the back and forth questions from Senator
Murkowski to Robert Gates regarding the allegations by several members of the
U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence regarding his alleged involvement
with ISC and the Arms deals with Carlos Cardoen and the shipping of cluster
bombs through South Africa and on to Iraq. Of course, he denied all of the
allegations.
Robert Gates also has relatives that live in Lancaster County, if fact he attended a
wedding here a few months ago, on May 3, 2009 at St. John Neuman Catholic
Church in Manhiem Township, Lancaster County. His wife has a niece that lives in
Manheim Township.
Now, I'll give you the ABC News Nightline May 23, 1991 excerpt regarding ISC
and the NSA, National Security Agency:

U.S. Sponsored Mind Control and the 2009 Senate Investigations into CIA Interrogation Programs

"It all started legally, if covertly, back in 1974. That's when the National Security
Agency, a super-secret U.S. Intelligence unit asked ISC to help complete project
X, a chain of electronic listening posts based at South Africa's Simonstown Naval
Station. South Africa was using these posts to follow Soviet submarine traffic off
of the Cape of Good Hope. To ensure secrecy, ISC and the NSA made sure
shipments could not be tracked back to them. They created a company called
Gamma Systems Associates. In fact, this company was nothing more than a post
office box at John F. Kennedy Airport. Gamma was a cut-out. ... But this
sanctioned covert operation was stopped in 1977 when President Carter, a strong
opponent of South Africa's apartheid regime, told U.S. firms to stop any militaryrelated business with Pretoria. But ISC continue shipping electronics, some
civilian, some military, to South Africa. The in the early 1980's, South Africa
began to intensify its efforts at ballistic missile development. For ISC, that was a
golden opportunity because on of its top executives was a man named Clyde
Ivey, an American electronics expert who has been the father of South Africa's
missile program. Ivey had extraordinary contacts in the nations defense
structure. Begining in 1984, federal investigators say, senior ISC exeutives,
including Ivey, began regular contacts with CIA officials." You can read the rest.
The entire transcript of the May 23, 1991 ABC News/Nightline broadcast.
Now remember, George H. Bush was director of CIA. "He served in this role for
357 days, from January 30, 1976 to January 20, 1977.[22] The CIA had been
rocked by a series of revelations, including those based on investigations by
Senator Frank Church's Committee regarding illegal and unauthorized activities
by the CIA, and Bush was credited with helping to restore the agency's
morale.[23] In his capacity as DCI, Bush gave national security briefings to
Jimmy Carter both as a Presidential candidate and as President-elect, and
discussed the possibility of remaining in that position in a Carter
administration[24] but it was not to be," according to Wikipedia.
Now, lets get to Bobby Ray Inman, former Navy, Director of the National Security
Agency (NSA), former Director of International Signal & Control (ISC), and
currently part of the Mind Control industry. The following appears on the
Welcome page of my website:

"S.A.I.C. involvement in 1993 American Para psychological Association meeting


arrangements, via their 'Cognitive Sciences Laboratory'. Science Applications

by John Porter, CIA Program on Mind Control copyright 1996. In 1994, after
Bobby Ray Inman requested to be withdrawn from consideration as Bill Clinton's
first Defense Secretary, his critics speculated that the decision was motivated by
a desire to conceal his links to ISC. Inman was a member of the so-called

Now, lets list the former Navy personnel:
x George H. Bush, former President of the United States, former Director of
CIA.
x James Guerin, President and Founder of International Signal & Control.
x Bobby Ray Inman, former Director of the National Security Agency (NSA)
and Director of International Signal & Control, (ISC).

Next we get to Jim Guerin's attorney back in 1989 through at least 1992. His
name was Joseph Tate, of Philadelpha. This link will take you to a document
regarding Joseph Tate, James Guerin and Joseph Roda, Esq., of Lancaster, my
former attorney who said I fabricated everything back in 1987. The document
contains a letter of September 12, 2005 from Special Prosecutor Patrick
Fitzgerald regarding Scooter Libby, Former Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of
Staff. the letter involves Scooter Libby's Grand Jury Indictment for leaking
Covert CIA Operative Valerie Plame and eventually outing her.
Now in Austin Texas in July of 2005 I was detained by 2 Agents from The Defense
Intelligence Agency. I was merely visiting a Military Museum, that had old and
vintage helicopters and airplanes. near where my brother, Dr. Phillip Caterbone
lived. I was visiting on my way to California. While inside the museum 2 Agents
from the Department of Defense Defense Intelligence Agency escorted me
outside to my Honda Oddesey and interrogated me making me confirm that I was
visiting and staying with my brother. They caused a problem for my brother's
Medical Practice by shaking up one of his secretaries. The reviewed my court
documents for CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., Case No. 2005-cv0288 filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The

In 2006 I was telepathic with an older NSA executive on many occasions who
wanted to meet me at the Clipper Stadium who told me he wanted to rent a
facility in Lancaster for a training exercise. I told him to to and see Dale High and
the High Group for space at the Greenfield Industrial Park. He said he was
retiring and that our discussions were keeping him a few weeks longer than
expected. We had intimate discussions of my history and the Chesapeake Bay
Area. We also discussed Sheryl Crow, and he told me his wife was a fan. I turned

My former secretary (Susan Bare) at Pflumm Contractors, Inc., where I was

A timing technicality has led to the dismissal of a pair of federal tax charges

The tax evasion and false filing charges were thrown out Oct. 31 by U.S.

prosecutors thought they had secured a further extension of the six-year
statute of limitations for the case, according to a source familiar with the

James H. Guerin paid a secret $350,000 kickback to the company that sold
its Marquardt division to his International Signal & Control, court papers

A lawsuit filed in California Superior Court alleges that Guerin paid the
kickback out of a Swiss bank account opened by one of his front companies.
The kickback allegedly was sent by wire transfer to the bank account of CCI

MORE TO THE ISC SCULPTURE STORY


Editor, New Era:
Re: "Sculpture paid for with fraud money removed at Ferranti," New Era,
March 18, p. B-16. Two reactions to the referenced article:

$36.99

10-kt. Yellow Gold


Freshwater Pearl Lariat
Necklace-10-kt. Yellow
Gold Pearl Lariat-style

First, the headline "Sculpture paid for with fraud money..." is based in
questionable logic. ISC's position was the result of fraudulent activities.
Much of its cash flow was a result of that position. Fraud taints everything,
so was it all "fraud money"?

SCULPTURE PAID FOR WITH FRAUD MONEY


REMOVED AT FERRANTI
When James H. Guerin commissioned a sculpture for his company
headquarters, he wanted it to represent International Signal & Control's
evolution.
"It shows where we started and where we're headed," said Guerin in 1988
when the copper, chrome and stainless-steel artwork was assembled.
Indeed it does, though not the way Guerin envisioned.

A federal appeals court has ruled that James H. Guerin, who is paying his
debt to society, also owes a $189.9 million debt to Ferranti International.
The 64-year-old founder of International Signal & Control is serving a
15-year sentence for orchestrating fraud and smuggling schemes at the
company. Ferranti, which acquired Guerin's ISC and became the major
victim of his fraud, sued Guerin in England in 1989.

documents will also provide the Court with sufficient knowledge of the APPELLANT'S claim of the value of the
Appellant's litigation of up to $50 million dollars as stated in the U.S. Bankruptcy Case No. 05-23059. The
APPELLANT does not intend to overburden the Court with unnecessary filings, however this burden of supporting
the claims and statements falls on the shoulders of all those in the government that ignored the APPELLANT'S
pleas for help to resolve these issues dating back to the days immediately following the meeting with International

2. There have been established some links to the same offices and departments of the Central

Control Program.
3. The Republicans of the U.S. Senate and at least 7 former Directors of CIA and Central
Intelligence will do anything to stall and/or stop the investigations.
4. There is credible evidence that U.S. Sponsored Mind Control Experimentation that is
occurring today in the domestic United States contributes to the same operation of
interrogation and torture techniques used in the Middle East Theater of War.
5. The existence of the HAARP Program was designed to have major contributions to U.S.

Dear Mr.cetertonerrWe would like to thank you for sending your psychiatric abuse report to the Citizens
Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR). After reviewing your information, it is
evident that you experienced many psychiatric abuses. However, it has been determined that
CCHR is unable to take any action on the information.
Unless you request otherwise, your confidential information will remain on file with CCHR and
could potentially be used in the future. For instance, because we receive hundreds of abuse
reports each year, it is possible that other people might file reports on the same practitioner or

Please understand that CCHR is not a law enforcement or legal agency in any way. We are
not an attorney referral service, cannot bring lawsuits against individuals and do not have law
enforcement powers.

Smoking Gun on CIA Torture Conspiracy? Human Experimentation


Central to EIT Program
Posted By Jeffrey Kaye On September 27, 2009 @ 4:26 pm In Torture | 4 Comments

A close reading of the CIAs Inspector General Report and the Senate Intelligence Committees
narrative on the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) torture memos reveals a more detailed picture of the
CIAs involvement in the construction of those documents.
What emerges is consistent with recent charges of CIA experimentation on prisoners, and of the
overall experimental quality of the torture program itself.
It also points to a crucial piece of analysis by the CIAs Office of Technical Services, a memo which
may or may not include damning medical and psychological evidence of the damaging effects of SERE
techniques, and which the IG report maintains was utilized in substantial part in the drafting of the
August 1, 2002 Bybee memos. If one is looking for a smoking gun in the torture scandal, in my
opinion, one doesnt have to look much further than this.
The quote below is from the April 22, 2009 Senate Intelligence Committee narrative of the Office of
Legal Counsels opinions on the CIAs interrogation program. Please keep in mind as you read the
quote and the added bolded emphasis, that recent documentation has shown that for years the CIA
and Special Operations had researchers studying the effects of SERE training.
Moreover, the research had been published in peer-reviewed journals, in part because the research
was also meant to add to the psychiatric communitys understanding of the mechanisms of
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Some of the research had also been published in the June 2000
edition of Special Warfare, The Professional Bulletin of the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center
and School.
So, keeping this all in mind, consider the following from the Intel Committees narrative (emphasis
added):
According to CIA records, because the CIA believed that Abu Zubaydah was withholding
imminent threat information during the initial interrogation sessions, attorneys from the
CIAs Office of General Counsel met with the Attorney General, the National Security
Adviser, the Deputy National Security adviser, the Legal Adviser to the National Security
Council, and the Counsel to the President in mid-May 2002 to discuss the possible use of
alternative interrogation methods that differed from the traditional methods used by the

U.S. military and intelligence community. At this meeting, the CIA proposed particular
alternative interrogation methods, including waterboarding.
The CIAs Office of General Counsel subsequently asked OLC to prepare an opinion about
the legality of its proposed techniques. To enable OLC to review the legality of the
techniques, the CIA provided OLC with written and oral descriptions of the proposed
techniques. The CIA also provided OLC with information about any medical and
psychological effects of DoDs Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape
(SERE) School, which is a military training program during which military personnel
receive counter-interrogation training.
While the fact that the OLC accepted at face value the CIAs statements regarding the safety or the
effects of the interrogation procedures they were proposing is no surprise to anyone who has read the
torture memos and evidence of the unprofessionalism and bias of the memos authors the
degree to which the conspiracy (by CIA or OLC, or both) to withhold evidence of the real effects of the
Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EITs) by the CIA has never been made more concrete than
now.
To my knowledge, we do not have the specific document wherein the CIA provides the medical and
psychological effects of SERE school. I have been told that this document is still classified. But it
seems possible that the CIA did pass on the details of the research that was available to it, including
the debilitating effects of SERE techniques, which sent stress hormone levels, according to one
research report, some of the greatest ever documented in humans. Another report cited
neuroendocrine changes [that] may have significant implications for subsequent responses to
stress.
One of the authors of these reports, Charles A. Morgan, III, M.D., who has identified himself in
certain settings as a Senior Research Scientist on the CIAs Behavioral Science Staff, has criticized
my coverage of CIA experiments on the psychological and physiological effects of SERE training upon
human subjects. While he could not specify what aspects of this coverage he felt were inaccurate and
misleading, he did insist:
The research conducted by our research team at the National Center for Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder is not, and never has been, conducted for any other purpose than to help
us understand the pathophysiology of stress disorders and we might better help in the
treatment of veterans.
In making his mea culpa, Dr. Morgan never mentions that some of this research was funded (over
$400,000) by the Army and the Office of Naval Research. He doesnt mention his acquaintance with
great people who do military interrogations. He also forgets to cite his book contribution, where he
states (emphasis added):
The SERE training environment affords the military services the opportunity to
collaborate with various other government agencies in exploring old and new
techniques in gathering human intelligence.
Of course, he neither confirms nor denies his affiliation with the CIA, an affiliation which I have traced
to the CIAs Science and Technology directorate, through his association (large PDF) with the
Intelligence Technology Innovation Center, which is a research organization under the CIAs
authority that answers directly to the CIAs Science and Technology directorate.
But most of all, Dr. Morgans arrows fall way short of his target, as I have never accused him of
personal involvement in the reverse-engineering of SERE techniques for use in the torture program.
What is disturbing is his seeming lack of concern over the possiblity that the research he helped
conduct was either used to further experiments upon torture victims in the CIAs clandestine prisons,
or contrariwise, was withheld from Office of Legal Counsel lawyers who relied upon CIA advice
concerning the effects of techniques derived from the SERE schools.
What is indisputable is that by virtue of his position, Dr. Morgan had access to CIA officials just at the
time that another department of the CIA, one to which he is affiliated, was, according to the CIAs
own Office of Inspector General Report (large PDF) involved in vetting the SERE techniques for use in
interrogations. The other department was the Office of Technical Services (OTS), part of the CIAs
Science and Technology Directorate. This, by the way, is the same division that was responsible for
the MKULTRA experiments of the 1950s and 1960s. From the OIG report:
CTC [CIA's Counter-Terrorism Center], with the assistance of the Office of Technical
Service (OTS), proposed certain more coercive physical techniques to use on Abu

Zubaydah.
CIAs OTS obtained data on the use of the proposed EITs and their potential long-term
psychological effects on detainees. OTS input was based in part on information solicited
from a number of psychologists and knowledgeable academics in the area of
psychopathology.
OTS also solicited input from DoD/Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) regarding
techniques used in its SERE training and any subsequent psychological effects on
students. DoD/JPRA concluded no long-term psychological effects resulted from use of
the EITs, including the most taxing technique, the waterboard, on SERE students. The
OTS analysis was used by OGC [DoD's Office of General Counsel] in evaluating the
legality of techniques.
OTSs solicitation of information on SERE from JPRA elicited some sort of feedback from JPRA, which
supposedly told OTS that SERE training caused no long-term effects. The IG Report does not say if
this was in the form of a memo and only speaks of OTSs analysis. In any case, we should not confuse
any OTS analysis with the information provided by JPRA itself to the Office of General Counsel,
which produced a number of memorandum and attachments in late July 2003. Marcy Wheeler has
been analyzing the timing of these JPRA items, including the fact that one of these key documents is
missing.
The CIA IG Report is relating a story whose emphasis differs from that produced in the narrative of
the Senate Armed Services Committee investigation (PDF) into SERE torture. In the latter, JPRA is
the main culprit in providing cover for the supposed safety of using SERE techniques. Yet, in the OIG
account it looks like the CIA used DOD/JRRA as a cover for the safety of techniques that it knew were
in fact harmful from their own analysis of the data. Moreover, it was the OTS analysis that was used
in substantial part as the basis of the August 1, 2002 memo approving the Enhanced
Interrogation Techniques (EITs).
That legal opinion was based, in substantial part, on OTS analysis and the experience
and expertise of non-Agency personnel and academics concerning whether long-term
psychological effects would result from use of the proposed techniques.
Moreover, the CIAs Office of Medical Services was frozen out of the initial analysis of the risk and
benefits of EITs, and not even provided with a copy of the OTS report given to the White House
Office of Legal Counsel. Such compartmentalization of information is indicative of a covert operation,
such as a Special Access Program (SAP). This SAP would have included personnel in CIAs CTC, OTS,
OGC, and Directorate of Operations, also portions of DOD (JPRA and Special Operations Command),
and probably the White Houses OLC, Office of the Vice President, and National Security Council.
It seems highly likely that the CIA report to the OLC on the medical and psychological effects of the
SERE school program, mentioned in the Senate Intelligence Committee narrative quote above, is in
fact the OTS report, which came from the same CIA directorate to which Dr. Morgan belongs. This
does not speak to Morgans foreknowledge of what would be used, nor to the amount of his
involvement. But it does speak to the likelihood that the government research he conducted (with
others) was available and likely used by his associates in the CIA.
To what purpose was this information used? It seems Dr. Morgan has serendipitously given us the
answer himself: exploring old and new techniques in gathering human intelligence. The CIA appears
to have used torture to conduct what Physicians for Human Rights, in a white paper (PDF) recently
published, called possible unethical human experimentation, [which] urgently needs to be thoroughly
investigated. The government should declassify the OTS report, and bring the process of
investigating the CIAs role in the torture conspiracy fully into public purview.

EXCLUSIVE: CIA Experiments on U.S. Soldiers Linked to Torture


Program
Posted By Jeffrey Kaye On September 9, 2009 @ 5:00 am In Torture | 7 Comments

Editors note: Click here to listen to Jeffrey Kaye discuss his groundbreaking report with radio talk
show host Peter B. Collins.
A number of new articles have been published recently that have highlighted evidence of illegal
human experimentation on U.S.-held terrorism prisoners undergoing torture. These articles
followed the release of a white paper by Physicians for Human Rights [PHR], Aiding Torture: Health
Professionals Ethics and Human Rights Violations Demonstrated in the May 2004 Inspector Generals
Report.
This report looks at those recent charges, and reveals that experiments by a CIA researcher on
human subjects undergoing SERE training went unreported in the legal memos the Bush
administration drafted to approve their torture program. It will also connect major military and
intelligence figures to the SERE experiments, and tie some of them to major science and
experimental directorates at the CIA and Special Operations Command.
An article by veteran journalist William Fisher, looking at PHRs white paper, asks, Did physicians
and psychologists help the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency develop a new research protocol to
assess and refine the use of waterboarding or other harsh interrogation techniques?
A column at Scientific American quotes PHRs medical advisor on the subject:
[PHR] also raises questions about the ethics of medical note-taking during some of the
interrogations. Medical doctors and psychologists colluded with the CIA to keep
observational records about waterboarding, which approaches unethical and unlawful
human experimentation, Scott Allen, lead study author and PHR medical advisor, said
in a prepared statement.
Finally, a story in Wednesdays UK Guardian discussed the significance of the charges of unlawful
human experimention:
Human experimentation without consent has been prohibited in any setting since 1947,
when the Nuremberg Code, which resulted from the prosecution of Nazi doctors, set
down 10 sacrosanct principles. The code states that voluntary consent of subjects is
essential and that all unnecessary physical and mental suffering should be avoided.

The Geneva conventions also ban medical experiments on prisoners and prisoners of
war, which they describe as grave breaches.
After describing how [h]ealth professionals in the Office of Medical Services and psychologist
contractors engaged in designing and monitoring torture, as selecting and then rationalizing the
use of various harmful interrogation techniques, the PHR report goes on to say:
By requirement, all interrogations were monitored in real-time by health professionals.
Previous reports, including the ICRC report, document allegations that a medical device
called a pulse oximeter (a device to measure oxygen saturation in a subjects blood)
was placed on the finger of a detainee to monitor the effectiveness of his respiration
during waterboarding. In this way, medical professionals were used to calibrate physical
and mental pain and suffering.
The possibility that health professionals monitored techniques to assess and improve
their effectiveness, constituting possible unethical human experimentation, urgently
needs to be thoroughly investigated.
An Experimental Battle Lab
The CIAs Office of Medical Services was supposed to be in charge of monitoring detainee health
under interrogation. However their instructions, described in an annex to the CIA Inspector General
report, exemplifies the dual nature of the monitoring, as this example from the report shows:
If there is any possibility that ambient temperatures are below the thermoneutral
range, they should be monitored and the actual temperatures documented. [2 or 3
redacted lines]
At ambient temperatures below 18 [degrees]C/64 [degrees]F, detainees should be
monitored for the development of hypothermia. [Four redacted paragraphs]
Rather than make changes to ambient temperatures, to prevent harm to prisoners, medical
professionals are instructed to monitor and document the situation. The torture techniques used by
SERE are known to cause endocrine and metabolic disorders (see section on CIA research below),
prisoners tortured and subjected to cold are at higher risk of hypothermia, which for a normal person
can set in at an ambient temperature of 60 degrees F. The monitoring in this case seems to be as
much about experimentation as it is any concern for a prisoners health. (For what other possible
reason could this section be mostly redacted?) Parallels to the experiments on hypothermia by Nazi
scientists at Dachau are chilling, as is the fact that some of these scientists were later imported,
along with their data, to the United States.
Questions were raised around possible human experimentation in an article last May at Firedoglake
on The Zubaydah Torture Experiment, noting, Of the many fascinating details coming out of [the
May 2009 Senate] Judiciary hearing the references to the application of an experiment by the
ex-SERE CIA contractor, most likely James Mitchell, seemed especially important.
The experimentation was not limited to high-value CIA prisoners. Last April, another article at
Firedoglake reported how the Senate Armed Services Committee report (PDF) on prisoner abuse
described the creation of an experimental battle lab at Guantanamo, demonstrating support for the
torture program from the main Army intelligence school at Ft. Huachuca.
According to the Levin report, in August 2002, COL John P. Custer, then-assistant
commandant of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona
conducted a review of interrogations operations at Guantanamo. Custer called
Guantanamo Americas Battle Lab in the war on terror, and recommended combining
FBI and military techniques to extract information by exploiting the detainees
vulnerabilities. The Battle Lab label stuck, though some, like Colonel Britt Mallow, of
the Criminal Investigative Task Force, objected.
MG Dunlavey and later MG Miller referred to GTMO as a Battle Lab meaning that
interrogations and other procedures there were to some degree experimental, and their
lessons would benefit DOD in other places. While this was logical in terms of learning
lessons, I personally objected to the implied philosophy that interrogators should
experiment with untested methods, particularly those in which they were not trained.
Later, Dunlavey denied using the term, and Miller testified he couldnt remember.

The experiments on the effects of SERE-torture techniques began even earlier upon SERE trainees
themselves. An April 2009 AlterNet article reported on the history of experimentation on soldier
subjects undergoing SERE training. (SERE is a military program, the acronym standing for Survival,
Evasion, Resistance, Escape.) The article explained how the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) and the
CIA ignored a wealth of other published information about the effects of SERE stress inoculation,
citing a June 2000 article, Assessment of Humans Experiencing Uncontrollable Stress: The SERE
Course, in Special Warfare (PDF). Special Warfare is The Professional Bulletin of the John F.
Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (emphases added to following quote):
Results
As shown in the charts on page 7, SERE stress caused significant changes in students
hormone levels. Recorded changes in cortisol levels were some of the greatest
ever documented in humans. In some cases, the changes noted among the
trainees were greater than the changes noted in patients undergoing heart
surgery.
Changes in testosterone levels were similarly remarkable: In some cases,
testosterone dropped from normal levels to castration levels within eight
hours.
The Alternet article also quoted from a May 2000 article in Biological Psychiatry, Hormone profiles in
humans experiencing military survival training (emphasis added):
Conclusions: The stress of military survival training produced dramatic alterations in
cortisol, percent free cortisol, testosterone, and thyroid indices. Different types of
stressors had varying effects on the neuroendocrine indices. The degree of
neuroendocrine changes observed may have significant implications for
subsequent responses to stress.
Looking beyond more than physiological symptoms, other studies have looked at purely
psychological data. Consider this oft-quoted study from the August 2001 edition of the American
Journal of Psychiatry, which looked at dissociative symptoms, such as depersonalization,
derealization, psychic or emotional numbing, and general cognitive confusion, produced in military
subjects exposed to SERE torture techniques (emphasis added):
The current study was designed to assess the nature and prevalence of dissociative
symptoms in healthy humans experiencing acute, uncontrollable stress during U.S.
Army survival training. METHOD: In study 1, 94 subjects completed the ClinicianAdministered Dissociative States Scale after exposure to the stress of survival
training. In study 2, 59 subjects completed the Brief Trauma Questionnaire before
acute stress and the dissociative states scale before and after acute stress. A randomly
selected group of subjects in study 2 completed a health problems questionnaire after
acute stress. RESULTS: In study 1, 96% of subjects reported dissociative
symptoms in response to acute stress. Total scores, as well as individual item
scores, on the dissociation scale were significantly lower in Special Forces soldiers
compared to general infantry troops. In study 2, 42% of subjects reported dissociative
symptoms before stress and 96% reported them after acute stress.

practice of torturing prisoners by partially drowning
them.
Other research results include the effects of SERE-style torture upon the immune system and other
biological markers. The findings regarding high levels of cortisol upon subjects was corroborated by a
SERE psychologist at the Navy Brunswick, Maine, SERE school, who according to an unclassified,
undated Talking Paper from the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency found empirical medical data
[of] elevated levels of cortisol in the brain stem caused by stress levels incurred during waterboarding. The Brunswick school subsequently discontinued waterboarding as part of its SERE
training, as it created a negative learning environment. The other Navy SERE school, in North
Island, California, refuses to eliminate exposure to waterboarding as part of its training program,
despite the opposition of JPRA and the other SERE schools, which believe it can induce a learned
helplessness state in students.
SERE Research and the Development of the Torture Program
One of the lead researchers in a number of these studies is Yale psychiatrist Charles A. Morgan, III.
According to one source, Over the past 10 years, Dr. Morgan has served as a Subject Matter Expert
to the US Special Operations Command. But at a June 2004 symposium on The Nature and
Influence of Intuition in Law Enforcement, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice, the
Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI, and the American Psychological Association, Dr. Morgan is listed
as affiliated with Behavioral Science, CIA.
Additionally, in the Information Science Board (ISB) document, Educing Information which was
heavily drawn upon by President Obamas task force on interrogations, for recommendations on the
interrogations issue Dr. Morgan is identified as a member of the 11-person Government Experts
Committee, and listed as affiliated with the Intelligence Technology Innovation Center (ITIC).
According to Intelligence Online, ITIC is a research organization under the CIAs authority, which
answers directly to the CIAs Science and Technology directorate.
The Obama Interrogations Task Force recently made clear they found a lot to value in the ISB study
(emphasis added):
The Task Force concluded that the United States could improve its ability to
interrogate the most dangerous terrorists by forming a specialized interrogation group,
or High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG), that would bring together the most
effective and experienced interrogators and support personnel from across the
Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense and law enforcement. The
creation of the HIG would build upon a proposal developed by the Intelligence
Science Board.
Whatever the fate of the HIG, what is noteworthy here is that the Office of Technical Services (OTS),
which was cited in the recently released 2004 CIA Inspector General report as having vetted the
aggressive SERE interrogation techniques, is, along with the ITIC, also a part of the Science and
Technology directorate. OTS, formerly the Technical Services Division (or Technical Services Staff),
was the branch of the CIA in charge of torture and assassination. It was also in charge of the
experimental mind control and interrogation program known as MKULTRA.
Dr. Morgans online profile states that between 1998 and 2002 he received over $400,000 in research
grants from the Army and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for studies on Psychobiological
Assessment of High Intensity Military Training and Neuro endocrine assessment of Survival School
Training. A 1977 Washington Post expose those were the days of scandalous revelations
surrounding the CIAs MKULTRA program describes CIA use of ONR to funnel funds for secret
experiments in the 1950s and 1960s. The same relationship was also explored during a 1977 Senate
Intelligence Committee hearing. This is not evidence that Morgans research was paid for by the CIA,
but along with his institutional affiliation, it is suggestive of possible CIA involvement.
While it is unknown to what degree the CIA was directly involved in the SERE research (outside of Dr.
Morgans affiliation), Special Operations Command reportedly was a major supporter.

A U.S. soldier undergoing SERE training.


The co-author of the Special Warfare article referenced above, and working with Dr. Morgan on a
number of other SERE research papers looking at physiological and psychological effects of SERE
techniques, was Gary Hazlett, a clinical psychologist with the Psychological Applications Directorate at
U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Moreover, Morgan and Hazlett cited the approval and
support [for their research] of Lieutenant General William Tangney, Major General Kenneth Bowra,
Major General William G. [B]oykin and many others
Maj. Gen. Bowra retired from the military in 2003, after serving as Commanding General of Army
Special Operations Command South, U.S. Southern Command. Following the military, he went to
work as Senior Program Director with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, serving as national laboratory
liaison to U.S. Joint Forces Command, J9 Directorate. Another source states that currently Bowra is
senior mentor/concept developer at USJFCOM J9 for Joint Urban Operations and Homeland Security
experimentation. J9 stands for the Joint Concept Development and Experimentation Directorate
(JCD&E). It leads the development of emerging joint concepts, conducts and enables joint
experimentation, and coordinates DoD JCD&E efforts in order to provide joint capabilities to support
the current and future joint force commander in meeting security challenges.
The possible involvement of USJFCOMs J9 in research upon SERE follows upon the revelation,
discussed above, that CIAs OTS, part of CIAs Science and Technology directorate, was heavily
involved in the implementation of the SERE techniques for use by the CIA. While the use of the term
experimentation appears to have a broad meaning in military usage, beyond that of conducting
scientific experiments, given the charges surrounding human experimentation upon torture victims,
any connections between these secretive experimental directorates and the SERE torture program,
or research upon it, is worrisome.
Maj. Gen. Boykin was the controversial former commander of Special Operations Command at Fort
Bragg, North Carolina, who resigned over statements that indicated he saw the war on terror as a
religious war. At the time he was Special Operations commander at Fort Bragg, according to a recent
New York Times article, SERE psychologist James Mitchell was completing his last military
assignment as psychologist to an elite special operations unit in North Carolina. Boykin previously
served as CIA Deputy Director of Special Activities, and in June 2003, became Deputy
Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence under Donald Rumsfeld right-hand man, Stephen
Cambone.
Lt. Gen. Tangney is yet another former commanding general at Army Special Operations Command.
Also retired from the military, he is currenly Senior Vice President for Intelligence, Security, and
Special Operations, at Future Technologies, Inc., a supplier of, among other things, a welldeveloped global network of experienced intelligence, security and special operations professionals
working with Special Operations, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and other military customers.
While Dr. Morgan appears to be well-connected among the military and intelligence elite, it is
important to remember that there is no reason to conclude that Dr. Morgan or his co-researchers
have ever been involved in torture or experiments meant to be used for torture. (We cannot say the
same for CIA or military medical or psychological personnel, however.) In fact, it is possible that Dr.
Morgans research has led him to oppose coercive interrogation techniques, as his published research
documents the debilitating effects of SERE torture, which utilized against a prisoner could only be
considered cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment, if not torture. (Although, at the 2007 convention
of the American Psychological Association, Dr. Morgan indicated he was against the idea of removing

psychologists from national security interrogations, which was being considered in a motion before
APA at that time.)
A 2007 New York Times article quotes Dr. Morgan:
Many SERE veterans were appalled at the reverse engineering of their methods, said
Charles A. Morgan III, a Yale psychiatrist who has worked closely with SERE trainers for
a decade.
How did something used as an example of what an unethical government would do
become something we do? he asked.
Dr. Morgans comments appear to put him at odds with other members of the CIAs Science and
Technology directorate, particularly those who work for OTS, as well as individuals within the
Pentagon and Special Operations Command, who have been tied to elements of the U.S. torture
program.
The Suppression of Research on SERE in the OLC Memos
What is clear is that the CIA and the Pentagon had plenty of experimental evidence from the
peer-reviewed, published research of Dr. Morgan and his associates (and possibly others), both
before and after 9/11, that SERE techniques had serious, debilitating effects on individuals subjected
to them. As this research is never cited in any of the Office of Legal Counsel memos issued to the
CIA around their torture program, it appears such research was deliberately withheld from
government attorneys as the CIA sought approval for the use of SERE-style torture. Nor was this
obscure research, but had been funded by the government at a minimum of hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and promoted by some of the Pentagons highest generals.
The frenzied search for data on waterboarding, sleep deprivation, isolation, confinement in a small
box, etc., to submit to OLC attorneys making legal determinations on whether proposed
interrogation techniques constituted torture, was a kabuki organized by the CIA. The OLC attorneys
involved John Yoo, Stephen Bradbury, Jay Bybee, and others were witting or unwitting partners
in suppression of CIA research on torture (as future investigations will disclose). Given the
participation of members of the Office of the Vice President, particularly David Addington and Vice
President Cheney himself, in the promulgation of the torture program, and the composition of the
memos, it seems likely they were also involved in the suppression of this material. As a result, the
memos produced authorizing the enhanced interrogation techniques were composed as the result of
fraud and bad faith, the result of a criminal conspiracy to implement illegal torture techniques.
The public response to the recent white paper by Physicians for Human Rights shows there is great
interest in following up on charges of human experimentation upon torture victims of the U.S.
government. The Congress and Department of Justice should move swiftly to initiate full, open
investigations and charges against those involved.

Doctors and psychologists the CIA employed to monitor its "enhanced interrogation" of
terror suspects came close to, and may even have committed, unlawful human
experimentation, a medical ethics watchdog has alleged.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), a not-for-profit group that has investigated the
role of medical personnel in alleged incidents of torture at Guantnamo, Abu Ghraib,
Bagram and other US detention sites, accuses doctors of being far more involved than
hitherto understood.
PHR says health professionals participated at every stage in the development,
implementation and legal justification of what it calls the CIA's secret "torture
programme".
The American Medical Association, the largest body of physicians in the US, said it was
in open dialogue with the Obama administration and other government agencies over
the role of doctors. "The participation of physicians in torture and interrogation is a

effectiveness, using detainees as human subjects without their consent. The report
concludes that such data gathering was "a practice that approaches unlawful
experimentation".
Human experimentation without consent has been prohibited in any setting since 1947,
when the Nuremberg Code, which resulted from the prosecution of Nazi doctors, set
down 10 sacrosanct principles. The code states that voluntary consent of subjects is
essential and that all unnecessary physical and mental suffering should be avoided.
The Geneva conventions also ban medical experiments on prisoners and prisoners of
war, which they describe as "grave breaches". Under CIA guidelines, doctors and
psychologists were required to be present during the use of so-called enhanced
interrogation techniques on detainees.
In April, a leaked report from the International Committee of the Red Cross found that
medical staff employed by the CIA had been present during waterboarding, and had
even used what appeared to be a pulse oxymeter, placed on the prisoner's finger to
monitor his oxygen saturation during the procedure. The Red Cross condemned such
activities as a "gross breach of medical ethics". PHR has based its accusation of possible
experimentation on the 2004 report of the CIA's own inspector general into the
agency's interrogation methods, which was finally published two weeks ago after
pressure from the courts.
An appendix to the report, marked "top secret", provides guidelines to employees of the
CIA's internal Office of Medical Services "supporting the detention of terrorists turned
over to the CIA for interrogation".
Medical workers are given the task of "assessing and monitoring the health of all agency
detainees" subjected to enhanced techniques. These techniques include facial slaps,
sleep deprivation, walling where their padded heads are banged against walls
confinement in boxes, and waterboarding or simulated drowning.
The guidelines instruct doctors to carry out regular medical checks of detainees. They
must ensure that prisoners receive enough food, though diet "need not be palatable",
and monitor their body temperature when placed in "uncomfortably cool environments,
ranging from hours to days".
The most controversial guideline refers to waterboarding, the technique where
prisoners are made to feel as though they are drowning by having water poured over a
cloth across their face. The guidelines stress that the method carries physical risks,
particularly "by days three to five of an aggressive programme".
PHR is calling for an official investigation into the role of doctors in the CIA's now
widely discredited programme. It wants to know exactly how many doctors
participated, what they did, what records they kept and the science that they applied.

Addingtons Direct Involvement in the Torture Memos


By: emptywheel Sunday September 6, 2009 2:03 pm
As I noted yesterday, I've been reading old HJC hearings--including the hearing at which Daniel Levin testified about the torture memos. Levin basically testified that he was asked to
resign while he was drafting what became the 2005 Bradbury memos.
Mr. DAVIS. Mr. Levin, let me begin with you and Mr. Wilkerson, and put frankly everything I have heard today in some context. And I want to pull out two particular
events. The first one is the circumstances of your not being at the Department. I know that you were very careful in your answers to Chairman Nadler earlier. But let me
make sure I understand you.
You didnt voluntarily leave the Department; is that correct?
Mr. LEVIN. I would have preferred to have stayed. I mean, when I was told I wasnt going to stay, I voluntarily left.
Mr. DAVIS. That tends to be what happens; when people who are over you tell you to go, you go. That is what in the real world is called being fired.
But he also revealed something else about what happened when he was drafting the replacements for John Yoo's crappy memos: he had no direct contact with David Addington during
the process--or anyone else in OVP.
Mr. ELLISON. Whom did you talk to in the redrafting?
Mr. LEVIN. I talked to a lot of people. As I mentioned in my opening remarks, I think one of the problems with the earlier memo was, it was not the subject of sufficiently
broad collaboration and discussion.
I talked, in addition to everybody in the Office of Legal Counsel virtually, people at the Criminal Division, various other people in the Department, people at the State
Department.
Mr. ELLISON. Did you talk to anybody in the Vice Presidents Office?
Mr. LEVIN. I dont believe I did talk to anybody in the Vice Presidents Office. I did submit drafts to the White House Counsels Office, and whom they circulated it to in
the White House, I dont know.
Mr. ELLISON. Okay. Do you know ifdid Mr. Addington have any input into your redraft?
Mr. LEVIN. Not directly to me. Whether he did so indirectly, I am not sure. He may have provided comments to White House Counsel that were then communicated to me
as their comments. I was not ever told anything that were his comments, and he never spoke to me about it directly.
Now, that's remarkable. We know from Addington's testimony before HJC that Addington met with Alberto Gonzales and John Yoo on the Bybee One memo (and his care to specify that
this description pertained to Bybee One, and not Bybee Two, may suggest his influence was greater with the latter).
Mr. NADLER. Just tell us what your role was, if you can.
Mr. ADDINGTON. Yes, I will.
Mr. NADLER. Because you said it wasnt nonexistant but you didnt help shape it. So what was it?
Mr. ADDINGTON. Mr. Chairman, my recollection, first of all, I would be interested in seeing the document you are questioning me about. I think you are talking about a
document of August 2002.
Mr. NADLER. Yes.
Mr. ADDINGTON. It would be useful to have that in front of me so I can make sure that what I am remembering relates to the document you have and not a lot of other legal
opinions I looked at. But assuming you and I are talking about the same opinion, my memory is of Professor Yoo coming over to see the counsel of the President and I was
invited in the meeting, with the three of us, and he gave us an outline of here are the subjects I am going to address.
And I remember, when he was done, saying, Here are the subjects I am going to address, saying, Good, and he goes off and writes the opinion.
Addington goes on to describe himself as "essentially ... the client on this opinion." So we know that Addington (unsurprisingly) had direct conversations with Yoo about this opinion and
(as the rest of his testimony makes clear) others.
Now, when he testified before HJC, Steven Bradbury refused to answer questions about his contacts with Addington and others during the drafting of the torture memos. But the Comey
emails released earlier this year make it clear that Bradbury did have direct conversations with Addington as he was drafting the May 2005 memos (and that Addington was pressuring
him to get them done).
The AG explained that he was under great pressure from the Vice President to complete both memos, and that the President had even raised it last week, apparently at the
VP's request and the AG had promised they would be ready early this week. He added that the VP kept telling him "we are getting killed on the Hill." (Patrick [Philbin] had
previously reported that Steve [Bradbury] was getting constant similar pressure from Harriet Miers and David Addington to produce the opinions. Parenthetically, I have
previously expressed my worry that having Steve as "Acting"--and wanting the job--would make him susceptible to just this kind of pressure.

Mind you, this is only proof that Addington had direct communication with Yoo and Bradbury, but not Levin. It doesn't prove that Levin was ousted to make it easier for Addington to
direct the OLC opinion writing process.
But Levin's ousting--and related ascension of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General--does appear to have had that effect.

This discussion will be halted for an indeterminate time while Mr Addington waves off his questioners, including the chair, and makes notes to himself on the documents in question, after
which he will speak flatteringly of Mr Yoo, seated to his left, in such a way as also to shift to Mr Yoo all responsibility for the opinions Mr Addington is being questioned about.

Im struck by a (relatively) small point that I hadnt remembered from the testimony: that Addington claimed to be essentially the client of OLC for Bybee One less than a minute
after reading from the copy of the memo,
It is August 1, 2002, memorandum for Alberto Gonzales, counsel of the President, re: standards of conduct for interrogation under 18 USC Sections 2340 and 2340(a).
So did Addington essentially admit that Cheney was essentially the Pres, and he (Addington) was essentially Counsel to the Pres?

You know, it strikes me that all of this, and the bigger picture surrounding the memos, and question of WH interaction thereon, is exactly why there will not be any but the most
superficial and isolated of prosecutions, and arguably none at all, come out of the big Holder PR review. Any defendant is going to affirmatively allege justification; when they do so, it
then becomes incumbent upon the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the conduct was not justified. This in turn involves the orders and memos they were based on. The
government will fight all this tooth and nail and submit affidavits and all kinds of shit to try to prove that everything was done in a regular fashion and properly. But it patently was not.
The defense will question and explore and demand discovery. Federal courts are clearly sick of the crapola pitched by the DOJ and they do not see anything has changed under Obama in
this regard either. This is all a path that will either lead to dismissal by the court, withdrawal of charges by the government and, perhaps most interestingly, the forum for a federal judge to
say Well the court has some serious concerns and questions too and I am going to appoint a special prosecutor from the court to look into this. It is within the courts power (as seen in
the Toobz case). This is all a door that I just do not see Holder/Obama being willing to open.

Effectively standing-in-the-shoes of President Cheney, Addington makes it known that he is the client - who must be 100% pleased with the opinion that he has ordered written on
behalf of the Acting President. It is further understood that failure to deliver said document as proscribed will have severe consequences, for the Client, the Acting President, and the
opinions drafter (more accurately, transcriber).
Guns are smoking all over the room.

EW: Im reading the link you provide to the HJC hearing and Bradburys testimony. I am hoping that you or one of our lawyer types will give this section of that testimony some
thought. Why have we not heard this from Senator Whitehouse or someone like Leahy on this? Is there something in the US Code that prohibits an agency (um. the DOJ) from
investigating itself? I think we need to talk about this:
p. 25 @ http://judiciary.house.gov/hea../40743.PDF
Mr. ELLISON. General Mukasey testified in a Senate Judiciary Committee that he would not order an investigation of waterboarding depicted on the destroyed tapes,
because the OLC had issued opinions regarding torture that were presumably relied upon by those administering the technique.
He gave two reasons. It would not be appropriate for the Justice Department to be investigating itself was one reason. The other reason is it would not be fair to prosecute
persons who relied on
OLC opinions.
As to the first reason, this is precisely the conflict situation for which the special counsel regulations of the Department call for pointing to someone outside of the Department
to conduct important investigations.
But I want to focus on the second reason, which has certain implications I would like you to focus on. At a minimum, we need to investigate whether their actions exceeded
the legal advice that
OLC gave them, or whether they would have knowthat waterboarding could not be legal.
Could that be a reason for the narrow scope of the investigation?

From someone who is not a lawyer and not into the weeds of the torture investigation. I think the narrow scope of the investigation is a political decision by Holder. He was shocked by
what was done (blahblahblahblah, are we supposed to think he cares?), so wants to suage his conscience by doing something, but doesnt want to offend his boss, who is totally against
doing anything.

Glad to see you back - So if I follow you the careerist at Langley will be leaking material evidence that Addington on behalf of Cheney was making the illegal toture legally good -and that
kept the torture chambers open in various locales. Moreover if I also follow your discussion -that this leaking is done in the context of pushback to forestall any future Sec Defense from
further poaching on traditional CIA functions and missions -particularly intelligence gathering that could lead to affirmative actions being tasked and ordered - ( IE the illegal occupation
of Irak ) . Could these leaks from the line officers at Langley also include documents -such as working email threads talking about the Team B at the OVP s office ie Cambone, Feith ,
among others talking up the EIT s as a good way to get actionable intelligence that would lash al Qaida and Saddam togather -to futher future 9-11 type attacks against CONUS ? This
is all being discussed at about the same time frame -hellbells PappaDick is still out there talking up Atta s meet and greet in Prague with Baathist intelligence operatives .
Im asking Skimpypenguin in your best assesment will there be any smoking gun documentation come out linking directly the OVP with the promulgation /promotion and actual
carrying out of torture - ?(A smoking gun email detailing how the OVP pushed Gen Miller into illegal torture at Gitmmo - boy that would be a pretty good pushback from the OGA ers !)
Just trying to keep up with this whole shebang - sure looks like the criminal conspiracy aka Cheneys OVP , gwb43 , sure are counting on a whole bunch of eletronically generated and
transmitted information remainig lost and never resurrected . BTW skimpypenguin - what is a SAP report ?

I dont think it was that shocking. Addington thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and he wants to let others know it too. Ask him the right questions, set up in the proper manner, and
he will blab I think. This is actually a fairly common phenomenon with lawyers suddenly on the stand answering questions instead of asking them. Fitzgerald did a very good job with
Addington in how he crafted the examination.

Dammitall, I cant figure out how I got down the rabbit hole Im in, but I think I tripped on something while poking around in all things Addington. Theres no direct line between
Addington and this stuff that I can see, just found a bunch of stuff and saw a possible pattern.
Remember the hullabaloo about John Bolton requesting NSA intercepts? It seems one of them was about Libyan stuff, and it was blown off at the time because it appeared to be under his
purview (unlike North Korea).
Apparently Bolton asked about William Burns, Asst. Secy of State for Near East Affairs. Burns was named ambassador to Russia in August 2005; he held the ambassadorship until late
spring of 2008.
Youll recall that Liz Cheney became Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State For Near Eastern Affairs as of Feb. 2005 upon her return from working for Bush/Cheney 2004. She
supported C. David Welch as Asst. Secy of State for Near East Affairs; Welch was named to this position in March 2005.
Note the gap: Burns is shown as stepping down and being replaced in March 2005 by Welch, but Burns has no apparent formal role with DoS until August 2005.
Welch ultimately is responsible for the agreement signed in 2008 between Libya and the U.S. to settle past claims, allowing Libya to restore a diplomatic relationship with the U.S.
In the background, there is the case of Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, who had been rendered and held as a ghost detainee until his apparent death this year in a Libyan prison. A speech by
Bush in October 2002 and Colin Powells report of Feb. 2003 to the UN were allegedly based on information from al-Libi. al-Libi had been shipped to Egypt and tortured some time in
early 2002 after hed already been interrogated with some success by the FBI in late 2001; he is shifted around, ghosted, located at some points in time in Pakistan and in Poland, until
he is identified as being moved to a black site in Mauritania in November 2005. al-Libi disappears from American control between November 2005 and September 2006, eventually
being repatriated to Libya sometime in 2006.
Keep in mind that the continent of Africa is part of the portfolio under the Asst. Secy of State of Near East Affairs.
Is all of this related, or just random circumstance?

The structure of Waltons courtroom and a pro asking tailored questions is a hell of a lot different than the bozos at HJC. For all the bad about Addington, he strikes me as a laced up guy
when it comes to real authority over him; he was disdainful to HJC, but sure as heck not with Walton sitting next to and above him and an USA/AG designate examining him. I was
always bummed NSA/CREW didnt do more to put him in the chair, even for custodian testimony, but they probably wouldnt have done much anyway I suppose.

Yes, I think the field guys, not the career desk jockeys, will sink the whole OVP crowd.
Folks, this is survival of the fittest. This isnt going to end up with someone being fired or embarrassed in the 24 hour news cycle. Were talking federal indictments. CIA paramilitaries are
normal people like you and I. Set aside the partisan/ideological differences for a second. They have families, they have mortgages on nice houses in McLean and Chantilly, and they have
cars and college to pay for.
They are not going to let some CIA lawyer (Addington) and a draft-dodger (Cheney) get away with this unscathed. Many of them are ex-military and take this personally. They put their
lives, careers and freedom on the line to execute orders directly from the White House. And this is how theyre repaid?
Youre going to see so many leaks Empywheel is going to have to start a spin-off blog just to dissect it all. These people create counterinsurgencies, raise rebel armies and sneak around
the globe for a living. They arent going to let Cheney get away. And FYI: if the Obama Administration tries to block this investigation quietly (or pardon people who threaten to detail
operations that started during the Clinton years, which WILL come to light) theyll obliterate him in 2012, too.
These people do this for a living in hostile places all over the globe. Theyre not going to go down without a fight. Many of them are like me: if I got guidance from the White House directly - I wouldnt ask any questions. Neither would any of you. That kind of involvement and proximity to the Presidency/Vice Presidency is intoxicating. I met General Powell once in
Arlington, and I was speechless.
Cheney abused that power and the respect brave men and women have for the office of the Presidency and the Office of the Vice President. He manipulated the CIA to interrogate,
knowing he would hang them out to dry when the media caught on to it. But before that, he launched a parallel effort within JSOC to do all that in more, with the explicit intention of
subverting Congressional oversight.
I know the cliche is that CIA went rogue. Even JSOC and the contractors deserve a pass here. They trusted the OVP that this was legal and aboveboard. Did some of them relish operating
extra-legally? Some did.
Most did it because the Vice President asked them to. And now, they feel betrayed.

In all seriousnessbefore anyone guffaws, GWB also deserves a pass.
The man was a born-again recovering alcoholic who dabbled with cocaine and barely graduated from college. He failed at everything he ever did and embarrasses probably the coolest
dad ever (his dad was a Navy pilot, the CIA director and the Vice President. What the fuck?)
Cheney, on the other hand, has stated on the record he felt the Presidency was diminished after Nixons administration. No conspiracy theory needed: He was planning to be the most
powerful VP for over 30 years. He didnt want to be President. He wanted to be VP and have the intelligence and defense portfolios. Cheney (and Addington) are all about ego and
revenge, not greed and power. The power was a means to an end. They had certain ideas of how the Presidential power should be expanded, and he conned Bush into delegating all the
boring stuff to him. Happened in Iran-Contra, happens every day in the military.

The key here is Addington. And I say that, because previously Addington, Libby, Flanigan, Cheney, Haynes and Yoo all played this really dangerous game called mutual assured
destruction.
One of them flipped, or grew a conscience, and theyd throw that person to the wolves.
The interesting thing to see is how much they all start to distance themselves from one another. Cheney may turn on Libby, Libby on Addington, or vice versa. And remember that
EVERYONE - except for Cheney - is a certified, actual lawyer. If it comes down to saving their own skin (especially Libby) they will turn on each other. Libby, Addington and Haynes
are the ones to watch, because they did the dirty work. Not even Cheney is as complicit as Addington. I was the guy that drew up plans and strategies for days on end when I started out.
Addington drafted complex four and five page legal memos in less than a day. He was driven and he was completely cognizant of the evil he was doing. And they didnt care if they
manipulated or burned CIA or the military, which is really going to bite them in the arse.

Theyre smart. CIA/DIA/JSOC/SSB does this for a living.
Expect leaks after the first major Obama policy victory. That way its all over the teevee and the bloggers spread it. It wont be this week because of the health care/school noise.
Business ties, affairstheyll start with that to knock them off balance and then start getting former military at GTMO and SOUTHCOM to go on the record about GTMO being ordered
to use the same guidance the black sites fell under.
Simultaneously, there will be an intensive campaign to show no links between Iraq and Syria, and Iraq and AQ. Former Iranian sources theyve flipped, guys they were running out of
Mosul who used to work for Saddam, those types of people will come forward with their blessing and protection. The idea will be to discredit Cheney and the crew in preparation for the
big finale:
Faulty intelligence. Raids on places that dont exist, missed chances to find people in Pakistan, etc. Theyll tie it into the EIT program and show why it was ineffective. Some will stay
silent and try to angle for a pardon, others will come completely clean. Look for the logistical and operations personnel more than the paramilitaries themselves to have the best testimony.
If they were smart, they knew this day would come and kept all copies of cables, etc even if it was classified, to protect themselves. That stuff will start to come out when they know they
can blanket the airwaves with it. Think a media shock and awe, by insiders, and then open warfare at the hearings. A lot of it will closed-session but the staffers will leak most of that (the
money from WaPo, NYT, Newsweek is too good).

I have said on EW many times that it was not CIA, it was JSOC that did the truly horrible stuff. CIA stuck to the EITs (which themselves are indefensible) and contractors conducted the
waterboarding(s).
JSOC is the most guilty party. Followed by the contractors, and, finally, the least culpable and willing to go that far: college-educated, politically astute CIA paramilitaries.
Seeing as Xes indictments have dovetailed with this special prosecutor appointment, Id wager they will collide, if they havent already.

Well, you better tell your buddies to hurry up then, because a new statute of limitation expires every day; some are five year statutes, some are eight year statutes. The death cases have
no statute, but they will be the hardest to prosecute and will not be amenable to traveling up the chain to the top as you describe. The offenses and conspiracy charges that could be
extrapolated from the overt acts of the offenses are starting to fritter away.

Unlikely. Statutes of limitation are presumed applicable and are effectively jurisdictional. You would have to show active concealment or an inability to discover the conduct, and courts
do not favor this and have a high burden for establishing it. For statutes such as most conspiracy charges, which require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, the statute of
limitations begins to run on the date of the last substantive overt act. As the basic fact set that these specific crimes has been known, especially to the government (after all the govt. was
committing them), it would be hard to argue that the statutes of limitation should be tolled (i.e. suspended) simply because the government refused to properly investigate. I would say the
chances of that are about zero,

They trusted the OVP that this was legal and aboveboard.
I dont buy that. You dont kidnap someone into torture and watch how the whole thing is hidden and how foreign govs are desparate to have their roles kept secret - you dont listent to
Bush parrot our commitment to humane treatment publically while you torture disappeared persons privatley and think it is aboveboard.
Im hoping you are right on the rest, but its hope, not belief. There has been a lot of remorselessness over the better part of a decade by now, and a lot of people who rely on the
protection of power of the offices of OVP and WH, no matter how much they may be angry over some things. And those people who need that protection have friends and colleagues
who wont want to rock the boat if it may damage them.
There may be a lot of people with mortgages and kids on the soccer team, but they are also people who grown accustomed to working with the torturers and they have had years now of
that subtle reinforcement hammering at them, that torture was patriotic and necessary and Cheney is the guy who will protect the torturers, their colleagues, themselves. Obamaco isnt
going to - they know that, theyve seen what happens with Bush whistleblowers under Obama. Its the Kappes and Brennans that Obama plays to, not the Moras and Tamms and
Tagubas.
With no real prosecutor and no real power, I really dont think anything will come of any of this and if it starts to go down a path where something may come of it, Obama will rush in
with claims of states secrets to cover things up. All someone will have to do is threaten to blow the foreign gov associations and theres no place Obama wont go to lock it down IMO.
But Ill hope Im wrong and wait to see if I can believe. I like believing and I dont get to do it much. Rachel Alexandra I believed in - Obama and his DOJ notsomuch and the concept of
a lot of good and decent people who worked in the torture cesspool for the better part of a decade just waiting to get an opportunity to expose themselves and their colleagues, I dont buy
that. I tried to buy the dominos of Goldsmith, Comey, Levin as good guys really trying to draw a line, but the more that comes out, the less you can believe any of that.

Any tenacious defense counsel for an indicted low-level operative is going to DEMAND full discovery of the justifying documents, in order to buttress the defense that the President
authorized the (despicable) actions in question. That Discovery process will produce more damning evidence than all of the congressional hearings put together. Holders DoJ wont

Mind you, this is only proof that Addington had direct communication with Yoo and Bradbury, but not Levin. It doesnt prove that Levin was ousted to make it easier for
Addington to direct the OLC opinion writing process.
From SSCI Report: Release of Declassified Narrative Describing The DoJ OLCs Opinions on the CIAs Detention and Interrogation Program [22 April 2009, Sen John D
Rockefeller, IV]:
PREFACE: an initial narrative of the history of the opinions of the DoJs OLC from 2002 to 2007, on the legality of the CIAs detention and interrogation program
p. 3: In April 2002, attys from the CIAs Office of Gen Counsel began discussions with the Legal Advisor to the NSC and OLC concerning the CIAs proposed interrogation plan for
Abu Zubaydah and legal restrictions on that interrogation. CIA records indicate that the Legal Advisor to the NSC briefed the National Security Advisor [Rice?], Deputy National Security
Advisor [Hadley], and Counsel to the Pres. [Gonzo], as well as the AG [Ashcroft] and the head of the Criminal Division of DoJ [Chertoff?].
p. 7 In the spring of 2003, the DCI asked for a reaffirmation of the policies and practices of the interrogation program. In July 2003**, according to CIA recrods, the NSC Principals
met to discuss the interrogation techniques employed in the CIA program. According to CIA records, the DCI and the CIAs General Counsel attended a meeting with the Vice
President, the National Security Advisor [Rice], the AG [Ashcroft], the Acting Asst AG for the OLC [?? Levin???], the Counsel to the President [Gonzo], and the Legal Advisor to teh
NSC to describe the CIAs interrogation techniques, including waterboarding. According to CIA records, at the conclusion of the meeting, the Principals reaffirmed that the CIA
program was lawful and reflected administration policy.
p. 8: In May 2004, after the issuance of the IG review, CIA records indicate that the CIAs General Counsel met with the Counsel to the President [Gonzo], the Counsel to the VP
[Addington], the NSC Legal Advisor, and senior DoJ officials about the CIAs program and IG review.
** the month Valerie Plame was outed by OVP.
And from the SSCI Report on Intelligence Activities Relating to Iraq Counducted By PCEG adn the OSP within DoD/Policy
Dec 2001: Rome meetings, in which Hadley and Wolfowitz tell Larry Franklin and Harold Rhodes to go to the meeting with Ghorbanifar and Iranians in Italy, and to tell no one,
including the CIA because the Iranians dont trust the CIA. Michael Ledeen sets up the meeting. (The Iranians are said to have distrusted the CIA, probably b/c the CIA knew they
were full of shit and it was the only way the Iranians could get away with feeding info into DoD-OVP.)
p. 6: The tasking later came back to [Rodman] through senior DoD channels as a request from NSA Hadley for the DoD to pursue the meeting with Iranians. Mr. Ledeen advised
[SSCI] that he had contacted Mr. Hadley, who he described as an old friend, and subsequently met with Mr Hadley and another NSC official to present Mr. Ghorbanifars## offer to
arrange meetings with Iranian officials.
p. 9: The US Govt officials involved in approving the Rome meeting had the authority to do so, even if it was considered an intelligence activity. Under the National Security Act of
1947, the NSC is given broad authority to identify intelligence needs, establish priorities to meet those intelligence needs, and establish policies relating to the conduct of intelligence
activities of the US
p. 9: Thus, Mr Hadley, who received concurrence from NSA Rice, had the authority to request Dep Sec Wolfowitz, who coordinated with Sec Rumsfeld, to dispatch two DoD employees
to Rome to meet with Iranians
p. 9: While the DoD had the authority to conduct the meeting in Rome, there was limited advance coordination of the activity outside the Department. Mr Hadley had advised DoD
to pursue the matter on a close-hold basis due to its unusual nature and Dep Sec Wolfowitz had reiterated that guidance [i.e., the totally cut the CIA, the FBI, the DIA, or any other
intel agency out of the meeting]
p. 14: it genuinely seemed to be Mr Franklins perception that [the info he received from the Iranians about attacks on US fighters in Afghanistan] had saved American lives. [I
include this bit because these are precisely the words Cheney uses to excuse torture.]
p. 22: Mr. Franklin recalled being approached by an official of the OVP in early 2002 requesting his opinion of Mr. Ghorbanifars plan and his judgements of its prospects for
success.

Both the SSCI report on the OCL memos, and the SSCI report on OSP (Feiths shop within DoD, set up by the neocons) have repeated references to the OVP, which brings Addington
into sharp relief drawing up the intertwining policies that led to the OLC memos and the activity in DoDs OSP office.
The OLC memos are only part of the story, but when one realizes that they were being written at the same period when Ledeen was putting together secret meetings in Italy (where DoD
employees were to meet with Iranians, but keep the meetings secret not even sharing intel with the CIA), its clear that all of this nonsense looks a bit Keystone Cops-ish, but it would
have required a legal ediface so complex that it would make baroque church organs look like simple gizmos.

I really cannot emphasize this enough, this is exactly why the preliminary review is not going to lead to anything substantive; not a sign there is some creative plan or available pathway
that it will. In fact, the odds are far, far greater that this is part of a designed limited hangout to give the slightest patina of having investigated to take away the claim by international
types that because there was no US investigation there should be international jurisdiction.

And once they get through the layer of lawyers, theres going to be a layer of management which will claim they are covered under USC Title 10 (military actions under direction of
executive without Congressional oversight) versus USC Title 50 (intel operations subject to Congressional oversight).
This is teed up early with Addington and/or Yoo wrt to powers of president as C-in-C during a time of war. But it will be the little guys who are going to argue this point, that they were
told this was a military op and therefore not subject to any additional disclosure and oversight, ollie-ollie-oxenfree and all that.

Testimony on warrantless wiretapping:
James Comey, Jack Goldsmith, Patrick Philbin, Chuck Rosenberg, Daniel Levin, James Baker, David Ayres, were all listed by Comey as DOJ folks prepared to resign from the
Government if the Warrantless Surveillance program continued illegally in 2004. Besides Levin, Philbin and Comey, I am not sure who else was around to resist the torture immunity

Maybe you can make an agument for Dubyas not being prosecuted for war crimes - but only if the Bush family promises to go after the Cheney clan hammer & tong. Hammer & Tong
meaning telling us where all the bodies are buried , or at least giving us guidance where to go seek that information.Furthermore the Bushies would have to give the ongoing investigation
political credence too -maybe send one of the the family lawyers/mouthpieces-like former Attorney General Thornburgh out to talk on the bobblehead shows -explaining why we
needed to bring Cheney and his unitarian neocon possee to Justice ! Then and only then would I consider giving President Cod Piece any semblance of a pass..
Again skimpypenguin thank you for still posting here -and I for one have full faith and confidence you are who you say you are -because frankly your insights track favorable with some
other formers I have been blessed to get to know.
So carry on -skimpypenguin -and God Speed

Where were these heroic and patriotic spooks the last eight years? Why are they suddenly going to come out and do the right thing after it is so late? Why do they wait until statutes of
limitation are expiring? When exactly are they going to manifest and execute this grand plan? When before has the rule of law been saved by a bunch of spooks (they are pretty effective
at breaking the law and lying and dissembling about it though)? Who is going to execute on this fantastical plan - the DOJ that is still corrupted and complicit? Obama and Holder who
have been quite consistently clear they do not intend to do anything of the sort? I have not read Operation Hotel California, but I am familiar with it and have heard an NPR interview
with the author.

A fair answer perhaps, and always a solid default explanation in such criminal and quasi-criminal situations. Although I have to wonder what real exposure these folks have at this point.
There are likely no more than a handful, maybe two, that have any exposure to the limited review underway, and there is no reason whatsoever to believe it will go any further than that.

For statutes such as most conspiracy charges, which require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, the statute of limitations begins to run on the date of the last substantive overt
act.
But bushco was obstructing and lying right up until Jan 20, and hold-overs have continued till today (with ample assistance from Obama/Holder/Panetta) are those substantive overt
acts?

Goldsmith wrote an OLC memo justifying rendition and looking for loopholes in Article 49 of the 4th Geneva Convention. He argued that a prisoner who had not been charged was not
legally a civilian prisoner under 4th Geneva yet, so they could be deported as long as they were brought back after interrogation. Daniel Levin wrote a memo on how to make
waterboarding legal under the Torture Act for James Comey. There are more, Michael J. Garcia (U.S.A. S.D.N.Y. for 3 years, prosecuting terrorists) wrote more memoes justifying
rendition with respect to Geneva. There was a whole cottage industry in circumventing Geneva by people who have gone on either to undue respectability (Goldsmith), or at least lack of
scrutiny (Garcia) while people got imprisoned, shipped, or tried and convicted using torture data.

authors of the pieces knew. And then what comes out doesnt take you where they implied, ever.
Ondelette - I completely agree and have been saying some of that for a long time, but I still was willing to buy that there was this kind of titanic struggle, even though every question
answered shows there was not. Not only did Goldsmith write that crap - but he has gone on to persistently and prominently editorialize for keeping the victims of his original, imo criminal,
opinions disappeared and to try to further legitimize disappearing innocent people into depravity as a *sound policy* to *keep us safe.*
Sitting on the knowledge of the old men on walkers sold into shackles and drugging and stripping and hooding and assaults and abuse and human experimentation, and the children stolen
from their parents and shipped out of country to someplace like GITMO or disappeared into Bagram or Camp Cropper or elsewhere - sitting on the full pictorals and videos of what
happens with the chaos of Executive whim that the has promoted - the existing results arent enough for him. He has to editorialize for more, longer, more invovled, more people
interwoven in the process; a wider torture tent; a more public embrace of torture. Thats what he finds to be a worthwhile way to spend time. Its how his interaction with torture and
power shaped him and the frightening part is that its a face he proud to show and one that an institution like Harvard is willing to put on display. And in the end what you have is
someone like Katyal being seduced by it too, giving more and more the luster of acceptablity.
Some of the rest, the Thompsons at Pepsico (amazing Canadians are ok with that), the Comeys at Lockheed, the Ashcrofts raking in millions from Christies and elsewhere as lobbyists and
consultants, the Philbins and Levins Kirklands and White & Cases - at least a lot of those have made their contribution to torture regimes then kept quiet. Goldsmith, like Yoo, cant kick
back and be satsified with what theyve already destroyed. Thats just the chum on the water that draws them. They dont want the feeding frenzy to end. They want to make torture an
academic exercise in every way - and almost no one flinches from it. Certainly not Obama, who rushed to pick an Solicitor Gen from the ranks of those charmed by, and defensive of, the
torture consultants who were architects of massive fraud on the courts.
Its why I cant really buy into what Skimpy is floating, as much as I wanted, anymore than I could buy into what Newsweek floated or Goldsmith floated etc. I do think that people will
leak from self defense, but I think with Obamaco in office, and the strength of hands held by Cheney and torturers (with Kagan, who would ultimately argue the cases before the Sup Ct a
Goldsmith fan) the best self defense for a lot of those guys is keeping quiet for even longer. Or mentioning a foreign nations interaction as a surefire way to get high level states secrets
invocations and walk away.
Anyone who was going to be a hero I think already made their effort. And what has happened is that Obamaco used their leaks and whistleblowing to get into office, but has now hung
them out to dry. Watching what has happened to the Bush whistleblowers under Obama isnt really a great motivator for anyone else to step forward. And watching Obama adopt the
same policies doesnt help build the pool either. Theres not likely to be anyone out there with the goods who begins to buy into Soufans now we arent going to do that when they
know why Obama is reserving rights to torture renditions. They know that al-Libis suiciding happened on Obamas watch because he wouldnt do anyting about it. They knew Obama
wouldnt move troops to protect Dostums mass grave site. They knew Obama wont make a real commitment to doing the right thing and theyre biding their time bc thats been the
historic way to win and Obamas not a game changer on that. IM kinda depressed and tired today opinion.

Impossible to tell without specific facts and charges laid out in a charging document; but that said, no I do not think those will serve as proper substantive overt acts. Look at it this way as
a overly rudimentary example, if the concept is conspiracy to commit torture, you are looking for the last act of torture as your last overt act for starting the running of the statute of
limitations. Is it really that simple, no; but that kind of gives an idea.

Ring Prosecutors: Top Ashcroft Aide Helped Abramoff Client, Didnt Disclose Hoops Tix
Zachary Roth | September 7, 2009, 11:18AM
We told you on Friday that David Ayres, a close John Ashcroft ally, looks set to plead the fifth in the latest corruption trial of a Jack Abramoff underling. And over the weekend we got
fresh detail on what looks like Ayress cozy relationship with Team Abramoff.
In documents filed yesterday in the corruption trial of Abramoff aide Kevin Ring, and examined by TPMmuckraker, prosecutors asserted that Ayres who at the time was Ashcrofts
chief of staff at the Justice Department helped Ring win federal money for a prison to be built on the reservation of the Choctaw Indians, an Abramoff client. Prosecutors also asserted
that Ring then gave Ayres tickets to the 2002 NCAA basketball tournament in Washington D.C. And, they say, the following year, Ring gave Ayress wife tickets to a pro hoops game
after she had said that she wanted them as a birthday gift for her husband. Ayres didnt report any of these tickets on financial disclosure forms, say the Ring prosecutors.

The CIA and special forces have been involved with torture engaging in it and training military and paramilitary clients for decades. The agency spent millions of dollars and many
years developing and refining a program of coercive interrogation. The frequency with which the CIA has incorporated special forces in its activities makes it hard to draw a line between
the two (as you yourself pointed on on a previous thread).
The picture of heroic field operatives utterly uninvolved with torture until led astray by the evil OVP is neither convincing nor useful in tracing the torture program as it existed from 2001
to early 2009.

Sometimes running like a girl beats being Macho, again and again and again.
@77 During Ashcroftian days the acting USA for Guam, Black, who was pushing on a lot of things, was fired and a report that he and another DOJ employee (Meissner, who also got
*demoted*) prepared for Congress got deep sixed and never sent on to Congress. The Black firing seems like a trial run for the USA firings, but they managed to get an IG report done
with Gonzales at the DOJ helm in 2006. It relied pretty heavily on things Kyle Sampson told the inspectors (Hello????? NORA?!) and pretty much left out all the nifty little things that
were, oh, say, in actual freakin emails sent by Abramoff.
This older article in The Nation has some background and a dkos poster, dengre, has a lot of stuff on this in multiple posts.
So Black sees issues and his info get directed to Gonzales who is WH Counsel at the time. Meissner takes issues to his boss, this guy named McNulty, then at the ED VA. You know, the
guy whose crew got the criminal investigation referrals for torture and the guy who had such a convincing line during the USAtty firings hearings. Oddly enough, they didnt get their
backs covered much by Gonzales and McNulty and then Gonzales and McNulty go on to end up as AG and DAG. Go figure. But the real disgrace is the IG report that was coughed up by
DOJ.
It just pretended there was no such thing as Abramoffs emails, despite everything going on with them. In particular, it ignored this email:
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.c.....ultpage=2&

The other immediate (next two weeks) challenge is the Justice Department.
Last week the bad guys who still work there (the ones who got that bad letter on Murkowski issued) started a drum beat that the CNMI had to be taken over, because it was
a loophole in the federal immigration network, and that, as such, was a threat on terrorism. They have been spending a week or so telling everyone who will listen that the
CNMI, if it is not taken over, will be a major entry point for terrorists. This, of course, is patently ridiculous, actually just the opposite, and we have been working to counter
this, but they are not backing down. We had the COS of the Justice Department [that would be David Ayres] in our box at todays Redskins game and it seems that
there might be a classified document floating in the department which deals with this matter. Making it classified, if that is indeed the case, was a good idea by our
opponents, since that means we cannot get it[darnit, all they can get is a chit chat about it from Ayers - that classified thingy works real well]. Hopefully Babauta has some
connections there and can get a copy (perhaps at least on a redacted version), which he can pass on to you to draft a response. If this is at a stage where it is gaining
momentum, he will need to leak into the press that they are considering this and how it is exactly the opposite of what should be happening. This is a real potential threat. It
will require some major action from the Hill and a press attack to get this back in the bottle. He should just follow the example we have used in the past, where we get the
press out front carefully and push the Administration back.
I am supposed to see the Attorney General next week (the Thursday after Simchas Torah) and Kevin was slated to play basketball with him before then. We will
both mention this to him. The AG will be fine, but the underlings are a worrisome matter. I am not sure what to suggest on this one, other than well pass on what we get
from the COS, and you guys should do your best to hook up with as many of the Asst AGs as possible and the political folks there. There are, I believe, some former travelers
(folks who visited the CNMI during Froilans time) among them. Well hope that the higher ups will take some time to squash this on their own. If not, it could get to be a
fire fight.
emph and [] added.
Ring was Ashcrofts staffer when Ashcroft was a Senator and was, with Coughlin, hired on by Abramoff for - well, for what he got. Access. Ayres chats about classified memos involving
Abramoffs clients to Abramoff, while Ayres is at a Redskins game favor of Abamoff; Abramoff sends out his emails, underlings like Black and Meissner get whacked hard on the job
front with something less than protection from Gonzales and McNulty, Ring and Abramoff are going to meet with and play hoops with Ashcroft to get the report squashed and voila not only do the authors get whacked hard but the DOJ takes it upon itself to make sure the report doesnt make it Congress. And there it sits until well after Abramoffs emails are made
public and the Congressional committee can push to get it.
All of which makes the things that are being pushed in the trials seem small potatoes and you have to wonder how many statutes vis a vis Ashcroft are being run out while DOJ changes
their game from PIG to HORSE to ELEPHANT to YELLOW THROATED EUPHONIA. But at least they are keeping Ashcroft distracted by having Christie throw money at him. Good
job guys.

Mary - There was a Judge, iirc, also involved in the Black/Meissner/CNMI affair - and, at about the same time that Black got fired and Meissner got demoted, again iirc, the Judge was
promoted onto a lifetime Bench seat. The Bush Administration said his promotion was the normal course of affairs at that point in the Judges career, or something like that.
Do we know who that Judge was? And, where do Judges for Territories, like CNMI, actually sit? Ever since the story dropped-off the radar, Ive wondered if the Judge was somehow
connected to Abramoff and/or Rove, or otherwise caught-up in manipulation by Noel Hillmans PIN (Public Integrity Section,) the same group that is said to have been involved in the
Judge-selection in the Seigelman Affair.

increase the chances of legal consequences for the tortures, thugs, etc? Not questioning your credentials with that question, just making an observation that once your view has been
expressed that it does nothing to further accountability by outlining ways that Holder and Obama might take to get out of actually enforcing the laws and the Constitutionunless you
have a plan to thwart that? So, I keep my fingers crossed that there is indeed a plan. If not a plan, than at least an incling that burying justice isnt the only likely outcome of War On

Anyway, when Hillman got his slot the WH tried to say it had all been in the works and appearances making it look like a payoff were coincidental and the similarity to Bybee giving
away the torture farm and then getting his judicial appointment were also coincidental.

I also believe that SPs scenario doesnt fit all the facts. I agree with SP that JSOC is far more culpable than typically discussed. However, the interpenetration of SO and CIA is
something even less discussed. You are correct to emphasize the previous existence of a long-standing torture program. To my knowledge, it has never been totally disassembled, and
lived on within OTS at CIA, and perhaps J9 at JFCOM, if not at Ft. Huachuca. Cheney/Addington woke the tiger, and rode it, but the bureaucrats at these agencies have seen POTUSs
and Veeps come and go. They remain. They get promoted. They go into industry, or start their own companies. The military-intelligence-industrial complex does not boil down to Cheney

Im interested to see whether they prosecute the death of Asad Jaleel in Iraq.
It is the most brutal of all the deaths. It seems a very prosecutable case, without the evidence problems. He had official EPW status.
It was Special Forces and regular soldiers who beat him, at separate times.
There is a suggestion or a possibility of premeditated murder.
Two Special Forces interrogation notes before his deaths have notations like this guy is too dangerous to ever let out. He was already badly beaten, with the distinct ring of bruising
around his abdomen and some teeth knocked out, no longer able to stand, then they broke his neck and broke all his ribs and stuck a gag in his mouth.
Its very much the sort of case they say they are intending to reconsider. Clearly beyond anything like an authorization. But the Special Forces involvement raises awkward questions.

Your reply was:
Theyre coming out because now they might burn for someone elses arrogance.
Never underestimate self-preservation; its very powerful.
Kinda gives their values away, doesnt it? SELF-preservation?
This is exactly how the head of the CIA, Admiral Stansfeld Turner, handled himself in front of the MKULTRA committee in 1977 after Kennedys committee was apprised of seven
boxes of information of CIA subprojects which were not destroyed - accidentally.
Stan (he probably had a wife, kids and a mortgage) says:
Until the recent discovery, it was believed that all of the MKULTRA files dealing with behavioral modification had been destroyed in 1973 on the orders of the then retiring Chief of the
Office of Technical Service, with the authorization of the DCI, as has been previously reported. Almost all of the people who had had any connection with the aspects of the project
which interested Senate investigators in 1975 were no longer with the Agency at that time. Thus, there was little detailed knowledge of the MKULTRA subprojects available to CIA
during the Church Committee investigations. This lack of available details, moreover, was probably not wholly attributable to the
destruction of MKULTRA files in 1973; the 1963 report on MKULTRA by the Inspector General notes on page 14: Present practice is to maintain no records of the planning and
approval of test programs.
Heres the information that WASNT intentionally destroyed - and mind you, the following acts were performed on Americans:
1. Research into the effects of behavioral drugs and/or alcohol:
17 subprojects probably not involving human testing;
14 subprojects definitely involving tests on human volunteers;
19 subprojects probably including tests on human volunteers. While not known, some of these subprojects may have included tests on unwitting subjects as well;
6 subprojects involving tests on unwitting subjects.
2. Research on hypnosis: 8 subprojects, including 2 involving hypnosis and drugs in combination.
3. Acquisition of chemicals or drugs: 7 subprojects.
4. Aspects of magicians art useful in covert operations: e.g., surreptitious delivery of drug-related materials: 4 subprojects.
5. Studies of human behavior, sleep research, and behavioral changes during psychotherapy: 9 subprojects.
6. Library searches and attendance at seminars and international conferences on behavioral modification: 6 subprojects.
7. Motivational studies, studies of defectors, assessment, and training techniques: 23 subprojects.
8. Polygraph research: 3 subprojects.
9. Funding mechanisms for MKULTRA external research activities: 3 subprojects.
10. Research on drugs, toxins, and biologicals in human tissue; provision of exotic pathogens and the capability to incorporate them in effective delivery systems: 6 subprojects.
11. Activities whose objectives cannot be determined from available documentation: 3 subprojects.
12. Subprojects involving funding support for unspecified activities connected with the Armys Special Operations Division at Fr. Detrick, Md. This activity is outline in Book I of the
Church Committee Report, pp. 388-389. (See Appendix A, pp. 68-69.) Under CIAs Project MKNAOMI, the Army Assisted CIA in developing, testing, and maintaining biological agents
and delivery systems for use against humans as well as against animals and crops. The objectives of these subprojects cannot be identified from the recovered material beyond the fact
that the money was to be used where normal funding channels would require more written or oral justification than appeared desirable for security reasons or where operational
considerations dictated short lead times for purchases. About $11,000 was involved during this period 1953-1960: 3 subprojects.
13. Single subprojects in such areas as effects of electro-shock, harassment techniques for offensive use, analysis of extrasensory perception, gas propelled sprays and aerosols, and four
subprojects involving crop and material sabotage.
14. One or two subprojects on each of the following:
Blood Grouping research, controlling the activity of animals, energy storage and transfer in organic systems; and
stimulus and response in biological systems.
15. Three subprojects canceled before any work was done on them having to do with laboratory drug screening, research on brain concussion, and research on biologically active
materials to be tested through the skin on human volunteers.
Now, as to how much new the recovered material adds to what has previously been reported to the Church Committee and to Senator Kennedys Subcommittee on Health on these topics,
the answer is additional detail, for the most part: e.g., the names of previously unidentified researchers and institutions associated on either a witting or unwitting basis with MKULTRA

activities, and the names of CIA officials who approved or monitored the various subprojects. Some new substantive material is also present: e.g., details concerning proposals for
experimentation and clinical testing associated with various research projects, and a possibly improper contribution by CIA to a private institution. However, the principal types of
activities included have, for the most part, either been outlined to some extent or generally described in what was previously available to CIA in the way of documentation and was
supplied by CIA to Senate investigators. For example:
Financial disbursement records for the period 1960-1964 for 76 of the 149 numbered MKULTRA subprojects had been recovered from the Office of Finance by CIA and were made
available to the Church Committee investigators in August or September 1975.
The 1963 Inspector General report on MKULTRA made available to both the Church Committee and Senator Kennedys Subcommittee mentions electro-shock
and harassment substances (pp. 4, 16); covert testing on unwitting U.S. citizens (pp. 7, 10-12); the search for new materials through arrangements with specialists in universities,
pharmaceutical houses, hospitals, state and federal institutions, and private research organizations (pp. 7, 9); and the fact that the Technical Service Division of CIA had initiated 144
subprojects related to the control of human behavior between 1953-1963 (p. 21).

Theyre coming out because now they might burn for someone elses arrogance.
Never underestimate self-preservation; its very powerful.
In 1977, while Stan Turner was testifying under oath in front of Ted Kennedys committee, he was hiding the hideous fact that children were being tortured in dissociative states and
trained to be spies and sex-slaves.
The following is from a 1995 Presidential Hearing on Radiation and Mind Control Experiments done on American Citizens.

Project Paperclip was organized to bring over Nazi scientists and doctors to the United States at the end of WWII.
The list of hospitals, universities, military sites, prisons and NASA facilities in which these experiments were done has been declassified. At the time of Ted Kennedys hearing, that list
was classified and Stan Turner said he would notify them privately. Hmmmm..
The way that the CIA obtained children for experimentation is told to you by the second youtube above.
You see, she was sexually abused by her family and exploited. When the CIA found the pictures or films which were spread through the pedophile rings, rather than arrest the families
and find homes for the children, the CIA allowed the children to be sold to them.
No jail time.
See how that keeps working out?
No jail time.
For a corroborating story, and interestingly, a CIA agent that actually apparently did something to save a child, Kelly is her name, read this pdf:

A research organization under the CIA's authority, the Intelligence Technology Innovation Center
(ITIC) is paying priority this year to technologies aimed at improving the sharing of intelligence.
In the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, the ITIC launched a research program on tools to analyze data called
Knowledge, Discovery and Dissemination (KDD). It allocated $8 million per year to the program that
concerns the entire American intelligence community. Starting from this year, ITIC is intent on seeing the
KDD program focus more specifically on technologies allowing for real cooperation between different
agencies through the use of shared data bases. ITIC answers directly to the CIA's Science and
Technology directorate, as does the In-Q-Tel Interface Center (QIC), a unit that dovetails investment of the
CIA's venture capital fund In-Q-Tel. However, ITIC and QIC don't operate in similar fashion. In-Q-Tel
invests mainly in companies developing information processing technologies (it answers to the CIA's Office
of Advanced Information Technologies). For its part, ITIC chiefly subsidizes university labs and government
agencies even if it sometimes pumps money into private companies such as LC Technologies (for its
computer-controlled Eyetracking system in moving cars). In addition to KDD, ITIC coordinates and finances
research in a wide range of fields: nanotechnolgies (nanobatteries, miniaturization of sensors); biometrics;
robotics, forecasting systems; fight against biological weapons; exploiting tera waves (a part of the
electromagnetic field between short waves and infrared waves that can enable a user to "look through
walls" to detect explosives and mines) and the like.

CIA Funded 1956 Research For Hypertension Remedy
by Bill Richards and John Jacobs
The Central Intelligence Agency secretly spent nearly $3,900 in 1956 on dog research at the University of
Maryland to develop a drug to alleviate human hypertension, according to documents released to the school
yesterday by the agency.
Dr. John Krantz, a former head of the university's pharmacology department who got the money, said he was
never told the funds came from the CIA. A research collegue at the school suggested he apply for the funds,
Krantz said, and he received the money from the Geschikter Fund for Medical Research, a frequent covert
conduit for money used in the CIA's mind control experiments during the 1950s and 1960s known as Project
MK-ULTRA.
"I took a dim view of the whole Geschikter operation then," said Krantz, who is retired, "and I take an even
dimmer view now."
Krantz, who lives near Baltimore, said he met with Charles F. Geschikter, founder of the fund, during
discussions on the project and found him "a superficial scientist." Geschikter ran a cancer research program at
Georgetown University and also administered the fund with money from private philanthropic sources and from
the CIA.
Geschikter has been unavailable for comment since information about MK-ULTRA was made public by the CIA
earlier this month.
The documents on the hupertension experiment were turned over to University of Maryland officials yesterday.
The school was one of about 80 notified in the past week by the CIA that they were part of MK-ULTRA either
with or without their knowledge.
The hypertension experiment at Maryland was among "special studies embracing pharmacological testing and
evaluation of drugs of interest to TSD [the CIA's tehcnical services division]," according to the documents.
Specifically, they noted the experiment dealt with "the effect on blood vessels of the camphoric acid
derivatives," the documents said. The fragmentary records released to the university give no indication of what
use the intelligence agency made of the information.
Maryland is the first institution among those which were part of MK-CLTRA to receive documents from the CIA.
A university spokesman said yesterday that he was told by CIA officials that the dog experiment was the only
part of the program conducted there.
Several other schools, including Georgetown, George Washington and Harvard, have said they were also part of
the program and have requested additional information from the CIA.
Documents obtained by The Washington Post reveal that senior directors of the National Institute of Mental
Health "probably" knew that the CIA funneled money to the institute to administer LSD and other drugs to
federal prisoners at Lexington, Ky.
It has been reported that drug addicts at the Addiction Research Center in Lexington were given drugs as
rewards for taking part in CIA experiments. The CIA supplied $300,000 through the Office of Naval Research
between 1954 and 1962 to pay for the experiments.
An October, 1975, report on involvement in LSD testing by the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health
Administration, which includes NIMH, said knowledge of the source of funds was limited to senior staff members
at the Addiction Research Center and "was probably discussed with the NLMH scientific directors."
The report said that Dr. Harris Isbell, then director of the center, was approached by Sidney Gottlieh, the CIA
man in charge of MK-ULTRA, who told him that his research with LSD "was important to national interests." The
report goes on to say that "without specifying a precise interest on the part of the CIA, Mr. Gottlieb stated that
the CIA would provide money to continue these studies."

Ex-CIA Chiefs Decry Holder Interrogator Probe in


Letter to Obama
Seven former directors of the Central Intelligence Agency on Friday urged President Obama to reverse
Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to hold a criminal investigation of CIA interrogators who used
enhanced techniques on detainees

Seven former directors of the Central Intelligence Agency on Friday urged President Obama to reverse Attorney
General Eric Holder's decision to hold a criminal investigation of CIA interrogators who used enhanced techniques
on detainees.
The directors, whose tenures span back as far as 35 years, wrote a letter to the president saying the cases have
already been investigated by the CIA and career prosecutors, and to reconsider those decisions makes it difficult for
agents to believe they can safely follow legal guidance.
"Attorney General Holder's decision to re-open the criminal investigation creates an atmosphere of continuous
jeopardy for those whose cases the Department of Justice had previously declined to prosecute," they wrote.
"Those men and women who undertake difficult intelligence assignments in the aftermath of an attack such as
September 11 must believe there is permanence in the legal rules that govern their actions," the seven added.
The letter was signed by former directors Michael Hayden, Porter Goss, George Tenet, John Deutch, R. James
Woolsey, William Webster and James R. Schlesinger.
Last month, Holder appointed special prosecutor John Durham to examine allegations that terror suspects were
abused at the hands of their CIA interrogators. The highly controversial decision comes as the Department of
Justice released a 2004 report from the CIA's inspector general detailing allegations of harsh interrogation
practices, which Holder cited in his decision.
The report was accompanied by conclusions that the interrogations of the detainees had yielded valuable
information that had prevented further progress by terrorists.
After Holder's announcement, the White House said the president had no choice but to let the legal ramifications
play out. The CIA then said it would pay for the legal expenses of the agents should they be prosecuted.
Current CIA Director Leon Panetta responded by a spokesman saying he appreciates Obama's "strong support for
the men and women of the CIA," and suggested while he was in league with the sentiment of the directors, he is
bound to the administration.
"The director has stood up for those who followed legal guidance on interrogation, and he will continue to do so,"
said spokesman Paul Gimigliano.
"The CIA is cooperating with the official reviews now in progress, in part to see that they move as expeditiously as
possible. The goal is to ensure that current agency operations-on which the safety of our country depends-center
on protecting the nation," Gimigliano added.
But in their letter to Obama, the directors wrote that not only is there a significant personal burden put on agents
forced to defend themselves, "but this approach will seriously damage the willingness of many other intelligence
officers to take risks to protect the country."
They added that the president has the authority to decide which legal recommendations to permit for interrogation
methods, but at no time is public disclosure helpful for intelligence officers trying to protect the U.S. from further
attacks.
The directors also warned that if the investigations are opened up, they fear that the assistance given to the United
States by foreign intelligence agencies may jeopardize future cooperation.
"Foreign services are already greatly concerned about the United States' inability to maintain any secrets. They
rightly fear that, through these additional investigations and the court proceedings that could follow, terrorists may
learn how other countries came to our assistance in a time of peril," they wrote. "As a result of the zeal on the part
of some to uncover every action taken in the post-9/11 period, many countries may decide that they can no longer
safely share intelligence or cooperate with us on future counter-terrorist operations.

RAW DATA: Letter by Former CIA Directors to

Seven former heads of the CIA wrote President Obama on Friday to ask him to end an investigation
launched by former Attorney General Eric Holder into the actions of CIA interrogators who used
"enhanced" techniques to question terror detainees.

The President
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
We have served as directors of Central Intelligence or directors of the CIA for presidents reaching back over 35
years. We respectfully urge you to exercise your authority to reverse Attorney General Holder's August 24 decision
to re-open the criminal investigation of CIA interrogations that took place following the attacks of September 11.
Our reasons for making this recommendation are as follows.
The post-September 11 interrogations for which the attorney general is opening an inquiry were investigated four
years ago by career prosecutors. The CIA, at its own initiative, forwarded fewer than 20 instances where agency
officers appeared to have acted beyond their existing legal authorities.
Career prosecutors under the supervision of the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia determined that one
prosecution (of a CIA contractor) was warranted. A conviction was later obtained. They determined that
prosecutions were not warranted in the other cases. In a number of these cases the CIA subsequently took
administrative disciplinary steps against the individuals involved.
Attorney General Holder's decision to re-open the criminal investigation creates an atmosphere of continuous
jeopardy for those whose cases the Department of Justice had previously declined to prosecute. Moreover, there is
no reason to expect that the re-opened criminal investigation will remain narrowly focused.
If criminal investigations closed by career prosecutors during one administration can so easily be reopened at the
direction of political appointees in the next, declinations of prosecution will be rendered meaningless. Those men
and women who undertake difficult intelligence assignments in the aftermath of an attack such as September 11
must believe there is permanence in the legal rules that govern their actions.
They must be free, as the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Senator Lieberman, has put it:
"to do their dangerous and critical jobs without worrying that years from now a future attorney general will
authorize a criminal investigation of them for behavior that a previous attorney general concluded was authorized
and legal." Similar deference needs to be shown to fact-based decisions made by career prosecutors years ago.
Not only will some members of the intelligence community be subjected to costly financial and other burdens from
what amounts to endless criminal investigations, but this approach will seriously damage the willingness of many
other intelligence officers to take risks to protect the country. In our judgment such risk-taking is vital to success in
the long and difficult fight against the terrorists who continue to threaten us.
Success in intelligence often depends on surprise and deception and on creating uncertainty in the mind of an
enemy. As president you have the authority to make decisions restricting substantive interrogation or any other
intelligence collection method, based on legal analyses and policy recommendations.
But, the administration must be mindful that public disclosure about past intelligence operations can only help Al
Qaeda elude U.S. intelligence and plan future operations. Disclosures about CIA collection operations have and will
continue to make it harder for intelligence officers to maintain the momentum of operations that have saved lives
and helped protect America from further attacks.
Finally, another certain result of these reopened investigations is the serious damage done to our intelligence
community's ability to obtain the cooperation of foreign intelligence agencies. Foreign services are already greatly
concerned about the United States' inability to maintain any secrets. They rightly fear that, through these
additional investigations and the court proceedings that could follow, terrorists may learn how other countries came
to our assistance in a time of peril.
The United States promised these foreign countries that their cooperation would never be disclosed. As a result of
the zeal on the part of some to uncover every action taken in the post-9/11 period, many countries may decide that
they can no longer safely share intelligence or cooperate with us on future counter-terrorist operations. They simply
cannot rely on our promises of secrecy.
We support your stated commitment, Mr. President, to look to the future regarding these important issues. In our
judgment the only way that is possible is if the criminal investigation of these interrogations that Attorney General
Holder has re-opened is now re-closed.
Sincerely,
Michael Hayden
Porter Goss

Sen. Bond Pulls GOP Staff Off Torture Investigation
Friday, September 25, 2009 4:18 PM
By Newsweek

By Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball


A major Senate probe of the CIA's interrogation and detention practices was seriously derailed Friday when Sen. Kit
Bond, the ranking GOP member of the Senate intelligence committee, revealed in a statement that he had pulled the
entire GOP staff out of the investigation. Bond blames the move on Attorney General Eric Holder's recent decision to
launch a separate criminal inquiry into the agency's abuse of detainees. The move appears to be part of a broader
campaign by congressional Republicans and the U.S. intelligence community to pressure Holder to rescind his recent
appointment of a special counsel to investigate allegations of torture during the Bush administration.
Bond contends that the intelligence-committee investigation had effectively become pointless, and the panel was
"spinning our wheels" because current and former agency officials will now refuse to cooperate with any congressional
probe when they face potential prosecution by the Justice Department. "DOJ sent a loud and clear message that
previous decisions to decline prosecution mean nothing, and old criminal charges can be brought any time against
anyone," Bond said. "Against these odds, what current or former CIA employee would be willing to gamble his freedom
by answering the committee's questions?"
But Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the committee's Democratic chairman, insisted the probe will continue regardless. Saying "I
very much regret" the GOP's decision, Feinstein added that her probe "is being pursued, additional staff are being hired,
and the committee is continuing the work with all due diligence."

The flare-up is significant because, whatever the results of Holder's criminal probe, the Senate panel's investigation
offered perhaps the only opportunity for a full public accounting of the U.S. intelligence community's conduct in the
aftermath of September 11 attacks. The panel has been granted access to millions of pages of internal CIA documents,
almost all of them still classified, and has been conducting interviews with current and former agency officials in order to
produce an exhaustive report on the agency's interrogations and detention policy, examiningamong other issues
whether the agency's methods had been effective in producing valuable information that had helped thwart terror
attacks.
Feinstein's aides have said they had hoped to produce a declassifiedand bipartisanpublic report by next year. But the
withdrawal of the Republican staff is likely, at a minimum, to set the panel's timetable back and embolden resistance to
cooperating with the probe among lawyers representing CIA officers. That resistance was already an obstacle and is now
likely to intensify. "The pendency of a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice will certainly deter individuals
from cooperating with committees of Congress," said Robert Bennett, the renowned Washington criminal-defense lawyer
who represents the former chief of the CIA counterterrorism center.
The blowup also underscores how the entire torture issueincluding whether CIA operatives and contractors had
violated the law when they waterboarded and engaged in other "enhanced" interrogation techniqueshas become
hopelessly politicized.
Egged on by former vice president Dick Cheney, Bond and other congressional Republicans have repeatedly attacked
Holder for suggesting that anybody in the Bush administration or the U.S. intelligence community might have engaged in
illegal conduct when, as they see it, they had simply been protecting the country.
Those arguments have also been advanced by seven former CIA directors who last week sent an extraordinary letter to
President Obama asking him to overrule Holder and halt the criminal probe of agency operatives. A senior administration
official derided the letter this week, saying that Holder had no intention of backing down because former CIA directors
(some of whom could likely become key fact witnesses in any criminal probe) were lobbying the White House to
intervene in a criminal investigation.
A spokesman for Holder did not immediately return calls for comment from NEWSWEEK.

When he was a police officer in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Sergeant Eddie owned the wisdom
of the street. He would say, If you have to look at something twice, something is
wrong, and things tell you things.
Stephen Band, Chief, Behavioral Science Unit, FBI Training Academy.
The work cited by the Nobel committee was done jointly with the late Amos Tversky. . . .
together, we explored the psychology of intuitive beliefs and choices and examined their
bounded rationality. Daniel Kahneman, from his Nobel Prize Lecture, December 8,
2002.
What is intuition? When we make a decision based on gut instinct, how often are we
right? Why are some people more intuitive than others? Is intuition something that we should
encourage and even, teach? These were some of the issues discussed at a one and one-half day
meeting of some 50 members of the law enforcement, intelligence, legal and academic communities last July 2004 in Arlington, Virginia.
The goal of this meeting, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the
Training Academy of the FBI, was to construct a research agenda that could be taken up by the
NIJ and other agencies or organizations for the investigation of intuition, which then could be
used to inform both practice and training of police officers, intelligence agents, border guards,
airport screeners and all the other local, state and federal workers who are tasked with detecting
people who pose a threat to the American populace. Oftentimes, these individuals have little opportunity to gain information about a person or group of people who may have the capacity to
inflict harm; often, these agents must act quickly and decisively. Their actions may determine
the life or death of a single person, as in a police chase, or hundreds or even thousands of people,
as in entry onto an airplane or into a large sports arena. What can science do to facilitate those
agents who seem to have a 6th sense about what people are likely to do, or to teach those
agents who routinely fail to notice the important details about a person that signal intent to harm?
What do we know about cognitive and emotional processing, perception and memory that can be
made useful to the next border guard who encounters a man or woman crossing into the U.S.
plotting the next terrorist attack? What do we know about implicit cognition, the use of decision
heuristics, and stereotyping that can make the next soldier smarter about interactions with a civilian populace in peace keeping operations?
Several themes repeated themselves in the discussions. There was widespread agreement
that intuition is real and that it plays a significant role in the everyday life of police officers,

whether they are stopping a car for a search, taking in the details of a crime scene, or watching
people get in and out of cars in a restaurant parking lot. There was, at the same time, little
agreement on how to define intuition, and comparisons were made to complex pattern recognition, complex emergent processes, the sense of dread that came with some police calls and
not others, the hairs standing up on the back of your neck, and feeling the eyes of an animal
on you in the woods. Questions were raised about the reliability of the phenomenon: do we
only remember the 10% times we were right and forget the 90% times we were wrong (and can
someone have a wrong intuition?). There was concurrence that some young officers appear to
have good intuitive skills virtually from the beginning of their tenure as a police officer or intelligence agent, and others never seem to be able to even acquire an intuitive sense. Almost in
contrast to this, there was agreement as well that much of good decision-making depends on experience, and that people learn what to look out for. Participants agreed that they frequently
made use of their gut instinct about, for example, whether to stop a car, but then faced the
challenge of finding sufficient cause for that stop because I had a gut feeling about the guy
would not be considered sufficient probable cause in a court of law.
Social and cognitive scientists have been studying intuitions for at least 30 years. A great
deal is known about intuitions the thoughts and preferences that come to mind quickly and
without much reflection (Kahneman, 2002) that may be applicable to the needs of the agents,
officers and operatives present at the meeting, and, of course, to their coworkers, current and future. The questions raised by the men and women with experience in the streets resonated
with the programmatic research data collected largely in laboratories. The challenge ahead of us
is how to assess what we know that can be immediately translated into effective practice, how to
affect that translation from an organizational and policy point of view, and how to determine
what is still unknown and needs further scientific analysis.
A sample of the conversations is offered below. What can be seen is that the operational community has access to technical information and on-the-street experiences; the scientific community has access to controlled laboratory conditions and years of good science. The
challenge is to find a way bring these groups together, for the advancement of science and to
make our streets safer for both those who patrol them and those who walk along them.

What the officers reported

What the scientists reported

In an informal survey of a National Academy class, about 90% of the respondents


reported experiencing a gut instinct, 6th
sense, or hairs rising on the back of your
neck feeling.

Intuitive behaviors are fast, automatic, apparently effortless, associative, slow to


change, and prone to error.

One kind of intuition is a gut response to life


threatening or dangerous situations. A second kind is interpreting deception, which
can take some time. A third intuition is that
which occurs after a longer period of time,
when you come back to a problem with an
intuition.
One might have good intuition in one setting
but not in another. A further distinction
should be made between intuitively responding in a way that is consistent with previous
training and intuitively responding in a way
that is contrary to previous training. Also,
being moved to act and moved not to act
may reflect different types of intuition.
We need to know success rate. It could be
that we are missing the seven cars with the
bodies and finding only one. If intuition
only works 10% of the time, it might cost
more than it gains us. We cant measure all
the wrong outcomes, but when we stop and
think about when the stakes were high and
your life was on the line, every time you had
that feeling, in every occasion, you were
right. In very simple terms, if we begin to
think we can read people in situations then
this is dangerous. But conversely, when the
hairs stands up on the back of my neck, although I may not understand why at that
moment, I want to be able to rely on that.
We tend to get a lot of anecdotal details
about the successes, but few about the failures.

Advanced Media Group

What happens when circumstances change?


What can be learned about the changes in
circumstances that make people vulnerable?
Does this tell us something about the learning processes? What is the learning curve?
Perhaps we can learn something about these
processes by investigating other instances
where people have to learn subtle changes in
behavior, such as how to prepare for an NFL
draft after playing soccer in Europe.
If we want to study this from a scientific
view, we cant just ask about when it turns
out to be right; we also have to know about
false negatives and misses. For example, for
deciding whether to stop and question a suspect, there is is a 2 x 2 matrix:
Stop and find evidence of crime (hit)

Stop and find no


evidence of crime
(false positive)

Do not stop and


crime was committed (miss)

Do not stop and no


crime was committed (correct)

This can be understood in terms of signal


detection theory, where peoples ability to
pick up signals in a complex situation depend on the signal strength and also on the
criterion for deciding that each person assumes.
We have been trying to develop individual
differences measure of decision-making
competence, and have found some to correlate with real world behavior, but the correlation is based on people who are really incompetent rather than competence. We
might be better at finding the clueless cops
than the good cops.

In police chases, we construct things after


the fact and depending, at least in part, on
what the law and our instructors demanded.
Intuition might actually be heightened vigilance.
Cognitive biases create problems in investigative processes. Many times cases went off
the rails because someone had a gut instinct
and acted on it and then the whole thing
goes down the tube. We need to be able to
let go of intuition.

The guys that are most often right about


things based on gut instincts are usually
that 20% of the force who do 80% of the
work, and are the ones that are most likely to
get into trouble and not keep their mouth
shut.
Practitioners who have very good intuition
tend also to have good social skills and great
enthusiasm for their jobs, and to be extroverted and highly motivated.

How can we identify people are actually


have good gut instincts? Maybe we can use
arrest rates or search results as a metric.

We know that memories are changed with


each experience, and that way we recall
things is changed by what else happens.
This is not intentional, and happens without
our awareness. We dont always even have
conscious access to the information that we
use to make decisions. There also are some
things for which we dont have articulation,
for example, how to describe a highly practiced action such as a batter hitting a 90mile-an-hour ball.
Both attitudes and cognitions can be implicit, and vulnerable to perceptual biases
produced by cultural norms and stereotypes.
We need to identify levels of motivation so
that intuition isnt conflated with good motivation and that bad intuition isnt associated
with poor motivation. Successful officers
may also be good communicators, and have
good social and emotional skills, which may
be confounded with successful intuitive decisions.
Positive mood supports intuitive decision
making. When people are depressed, they
have a narrower way of seeing the world.
Studies show that people who practice at
something report that they are better at it,
whether or not they are.

Can people have good gut instincts about


something they have never before experienced? The average cop doesnt have much
experience with a terrorist.

How do we study characteristics or habits


that are critical but so rarely used that they
could hardly be learned? If you get shot at
once in five years, then you cant learn when
someone is going to pull a gun because it
hardly ever happens. We have to think
about training for the impossible.

In the old days, when patrols were made in


pairs, there was more chance for mentoring.

New Haven police took mental health practitioners in research ride-alongs, so that the
psychologists could observe directly.

Questions that need further research:


How representative within the law enforcement or intelligence community are incidents of intuition? How often does acting on gut instinct lead to sound decisions as opposed to bad decisions?
What are the determinant contextual and social variables that are relevant to gut instincts?
How can we learn, and teach others, to verbalize the thoughts and emotions that contribute to
their decision processes?
Is the ability to make good instinctual decisions relatively equal among individuals, or are there
significant differences due to gender, age, and years of experience on the job?
How can good intuition be learned and taught?
What are the legal implications of considering intuition as a basis for judgment and action on
the part of law enforcement officers?
How can we implement new training procedures, and evaluate them, while protecting the people
who participate in such experimental procedures?

Executive Summary

"What sets us apart from our enemies in this fight ... is how we behave. In
everything we do, we must observe the standards and values that dictate that we
treat noncombatants and detainees with dignity and respect. While we are
warriors, we are also all human beings. "
-- General David Petraeus
May 10,2007

(U) The collection oftimely and accurate intelligence is critical to the safety of U.S.

personnel deployed abroad and to the security ofthe American people here at home. The
methods by which we elicit intelligence information from detainees in our custody affect not
only the reliability ofthat information, but our broader efforts to win hearts and minds and attract
allies to our side.
(U) AI Qaeda and Taliban terrorists are taught to expect Americans to abuse them. They
are recruited based on false propaganda that says the United States is out to destroy Islam.
Treating detainees harshly only reinforces that distorted view, increases resistance to
cooperation, and creates new enemies. In fact, the April 2006 National Intelligence Estimate
"Trends in Global Terrorism: Implications for the United States" cited "pervasive anti U.S.
sentiment among most Muslims" as an underlying factor fueling the spread ofthe global jihadist
movement. Former Navy General Counsel Alberto Mora testified to the Senate Armed Services
Committee in June 2008 that "there are serving U.S. flag-rank officers who maintain that the fITst
and second identifiable causes of U. S. combat deaths in Iraq - as judged by their effectiveness in
recruiting insurgent fighters into combat - are, respectively the symbols of Abu Ghraib and
Guantanamo."
(U) The abuse of detainees in U.S. custody cannot simply be attributed to the actions of
"a few bad apples" acting on their own. The fact is that senior officials in the United States
government solicited information on how to use aggressive techniques, redefined the law to
create the appearance oftheir legality, and authorized their use against detainees. Those efforts
damaged our ability to collect accurate intelligence that could save lives, strengthened the hand
of our enemies, and compromised our moral authority. This report is a product ofthe
Committee's inquiry into how those unfortunate results came about.

(U) On February 7,2002, President Bush signed a memorandum stating that the Third
Geneva Convention did not apply to the conflict with al Qaeda and concluding that Taliban
detainees were not entitled to prisoner of war status or the legal protections afforded by the Third
Geneva Convention. The President's order closed off application of Common Article 3 ofthe
Geneva Conventions, which would have afforded minimum standards for humane treatment, to
al Qaeda or Taliban detainees. While the President's order stated that, as "a matter of policy, the
United States Armed Forces shall continue to treat detainees humanely and, to the extent
appropriate and consistent with military necessity, in a manner consistent with the principles of
the Geneva Conventions," the decision to replace well established military doctrine, i.e., legal
compliance with the Geneva Conventions, with a policy subject to interpretation, impacted the
treatment of detainees in U.S. custody.
(U) In December 2001, more than a month before the President signed his memorandum,
the Department of Defense (DoD) General Counsel's Office had already solicited information on
detainee "exploitation" from the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA), an agency whose
expertise was in training American personnel to withstand interrogation techniques considered
illegal under the Geneva Conventions.
(U) JPRA is the DoD agency that oversees military Survival Evasion Resistance and
Escape (SERE) training. During the resistance phase of SERE training, U.S. military personnel
are exposed to physical and psychological pressures (SERE techniques) designed to simulate
conditions to which they might be subject if taken prisoner by enemies that did not abide by the
Geneva Conventions. As one JPRA instructor explained, SERE training is "based on illegal
exploitation (under the rules listed in the 1949 Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of
Prisoners of War) of prisoners over the last 50 years." The techniques used in SERE school,
based, in part, on Chinese Communist techniques used during the Korean war to elicit false
confessions, include stripping students oftheir clothing, placing them in stress positions, putting
hoods over their heads, disrupting their sleep, treating them like animals, subjecting them to loud
music and flashing lights, and exposing them to extreme temperatures. It can also include face
and body slaps and until recently, for some who attended the Navy's SERE school, it included
waterboarding.
(U) Typically, those who play the part of interrogators in SERE school neither are trained
interrogators nor are they qualified to be. These role players are not trained to obtain reliable
intelligence information from detainees. Their job is to train our personnel to resist providing
reliable infonnation to our enemies. As the Deputy Commander for the Joint Forces Command
(JFCOM), JPRA's higher headquarters, put it: "the expertise of JPRA lies in training personnel
how to respond and resist interrogations - not in how to conduct interrogations." Given JPRA's
role and expertise, the request from the DoD General Counsel's office was unusual. In fact, the
Committee is not aware of any similar request prior to December 2001. But while it may have
been the fast, that was not the last time that a senior government official contacted JPRA for

advice on using SERE methods offensively. In fact, the call from the DoD General Counsel's
office marked just the beginning of JPRA's support of U.S. government interrogation efforts.

Senior Officials Seek SERE Techniques and Discuss Detainee Interrogations (U)
(U) Beginning in the spring of 2002 and extending for the next two years, JPRA
supported U.S. government efforts to interrogate detainees. Duringthat same period, senior
government officials solicited JPRA's knowledge and its direct support for interrogations. While
much ofthe information relating to JPRA's offensive activities and the influence of SERE
techniques on interrogation policies remains classified, unclassified information provides a
window into the extent ofthose activities.
(U) JPRA's Chief of Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Baumgartner testified that in late
2001 or early 2002, JPRA conducted briefings of Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) personnel
on detainee resistance, techniques, and information on detainee exploitation.
(U) On April 16, 2002, Dr. Bruce Jessen, the senior SERE psychologist at JPRA,
circulated a draft exploitation plan to JPRA Commander Colonel Randy Mouhon and other
senior officials at the agency. The contents of that plan remain classified but Dr. Jessen's
initiative is indicative ofthe interest of JPRA's senior leadership in expanding the agency's role.
(U) One opportunity came in July 2002. That month, DoD Deputy General Counsel for
Intelligence Richard Shiffrin contacted JPRA seeking information on SERE physical pressures
and interrogation techniques that had been used against Americans. Mr. Shiffiin called JPRA
after discussions with William "Jim" Haynes II, the DoD General Counsel.
(U) In late July, JPRA provided the General Counsel's office with several documents,
including excerpts from SERE instructor lesson plans, a list of physical and psychological
pressures used in SERE resistance training, and a memo from a SERE psychologist assessing the
long-term psychological effects of SERE resistance training on students and the effects of
waterboarding. The list of SERE techniques included such methods as sensory deprivation,
sleep disruption, stress positions, waterboarding, and slapping. It also made reference to a
section ofthe JPRA instructor manual that discusses "coercive pressures," such as keeping the
lights on at all times, and treating a person like an animal. JPRA's Chief of Staff, Lieutenant
Colonel Daniel Baumgartner, who spoke with Mr. Shiffiin at the time, thought the General
Counsel's office was asking for the information on exploitation and physical pressures to use
them in interrogations and he said that JFCOM gave approval to provide the agency the
information. Mr. Shiffiin, the DoD Deputy General Counsel for Intelligence, confmned that a
purpose ofthe request was to "reverse engineer" the techniques. Mr. Haynes could not recall
what he did with the information provided by JPRA.
(U) Memos from Lieutenant Colonel Baumgartner to the Office of Secretary of Defense
General Counsel stated that JPRA would "continue to offer exploitation assistance to those
government organizations charged with the mission of gleaning intelligence from enemy

detainees." Lieutenant Colonel Baumgartner testified that he provided another government


agency the same information he sent to the DoD General Counsel's office.
(U) Mr. Haynes was not the only senior official considering new interrogation techniques

for use against detainees. Members ofthe President's Cabinet and other senior officials attended
meetings in the White House where specific interrogation techniques were discussed. Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice, who was then the National Security Advisor, said that, "in the spring
of2002, CIA sought policy approval from the National Security Council (NSC) to begin an
interrogation progTam for high-level al-Qaida terrorists." Secretary Rice said that she asked
Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet to briefNSC Principals on the program and asked
the Attorney General John Ashcroft "personally to review and confrrm the legal advice prepared
by the Office of Legal Counsel." She also said that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
participated in the NSC review ofthe CIA's program.
(U) Asked whether she attended meetings where SERE training was discussed, Secretary

Rice stated that she recalled being told that U.S. military personnel were subjected in training to
"certain physical and psychological interrogation techniques." National Security Council (NSC)
Legal Advisor, John Bellinger, said that he was present in meetings "at which SERE training was
discussed."
Department of Justice Redermes Torture (D)
(U) On August 1, 2002, just a week after JPRA provided the DoD General Counsel's
office the list of SERE techniques and the memo on the psychological effects of SERE training,
the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) issued two legal opinions. The
opinions were issued after consultation with senior Administration attorneys, including then
White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and then-Counsel to the Vice President David
Addington. Both memos were signed by then-Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal
Counsel Jay Bybee. One opinion, commonly known as the first Bybee memo, was addressed to
Judge Gonzales and provided OLe's opinion on standards of conduct in interrogation required
under the federal torture statute. That memo concluded:

[F]or an act to constitute torture as defmed in [the federal torture statute], it must
inflict pain that is difficult to endure. Physical pain amounting to torture must be
equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as
organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death. For purely mental
pain or suffering to amount to torture under [the federal torture statute], it must
result in significant psychological harm of significant duration, e.g., lasting for
months or even years.
(U) In his book The Terror Presidency, Jack Goldsmith, the former Assistant Attorney
General of the OLC who succeeded Mr. Bybee in that job, described the memo's conclusions:

Violent acts aren't necessarily torture; if you do torture, you probably have a
defense; and even if you don't have a defense, the torture law doesn't apply if you
act under the color of presidential authority.

(U) The other OLC opinion issued on August 1,2002 is known commonly as the Second
Bybee memo. That opinion, which responded to a request from the CI~ addressed the legality
of specific interrogation tactics. While the full list oftechniques remains classified, a publicly
released CIA document indicates that waterboarding was among those analyzed and approved.
CIA Director General Michael Hayden stated in public testimony before the Senate Intelligence
Committee on February 5, 2008 that waterboarding was used by the CIA And Steven Bradbury,
the current Assistant Attorney General ofthe OLC, testified before the House Judiciary
Committee on February 14,2008 that the CIA's use of waterboarding was "adapted from the
SERE training program."
(U) Before drafting the opinions, Mr. Y 00, the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the
OLC, had met with Alberto Gonzales, Counsel to the President, and David Addington, Counsel
to the Vice President, to discuss the subjects he intended to address in the opinions. In testimony
before the House Judiciary Committee, Mr. Y00 refused to say whether or not he ever discussed
or received information about SERE techniques as the memos were being drafted. When asked
whether he had discussed SERE techniques with Judge Gonzales, Mr. Addington, Mr. Yoo, Mr.
Rizzo or other senior administration lawyers, DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes testified that he
"did discuss SERE techniques with other people in the administration." NSC Legal Advisor
John Bellinger said that "some of the legal analyses of proposed interrogation techniques that
were prepared by the Department of Justice... did refer to the psychological effects ofresistance
training."
(U) In fact, Jay Bybee the Assistant Attorney General who signed the two OLC legal
opinions said that he saw an assessment of the psychological effects of military resistance
training in July 2002 in meetings in his office with John Yoo and two other OLC attorneys.
Judge Bybee said that he used that assessment to inform the August 1, 2002 OLC legal opinion
that has yet to be publicly released. Judge Bybee also recalled discussing detainee interrogations
in a meeting with Attorney General John Ashcroft and John Y 00 in late July 2002, prior to
signing the OLC opinions. Mr. Bellinger, the NSC Legal Advisor, said that "the NSC's
Principals reviewed CIA's proposed program on several occasions in 2002 and 2003" and that he
"expressed concern that the proposed CIA interrogation techniques comply with applicable U. S.
law, including our international obligations."

JPRA and CIA Influence Department of Defense Interrogation Policies (U)


(U) As senior government lawyers were preparing to redefine torture, JPRA - responding
to a request from U.S. Southern Command's Joint Task Force 170 (JTF-170) at Guantanamo Bay
(GTMO) - was finalizing plans to train JTF-170 personnel. During the week of September 16,
2002, a group of interrogators and behavioral scientists from GTMO travelled to Fort Bragg,
North Carolina and attended training conducted by instructors from JPRA's SERE school. On
September 25, 2002, just days after GTMO staff returned from that training, a delegation of

senior Administration lawyers, including Mr. Haynes, Mr. Rizzo, and Mr. Addington, visited
GTMO.
(U) A week after the visit from those senior lawyers, two GTMO behavioral scientists
who had attended the JPRA-Ied training at Fort Bragg drafted a memo proposing new
interrogation techniques for use at GTMO. According to one ofthose two behavioral scientists,
by early October 2002, there was "increasing pressure to get 'tougher' with detainee
interrogations." He added that ifthe interrogation policy memo did not contain coercive
techniques, then it "wasn't going to go very far."
(U) JPRA was not the only outside organization that provided advice to GTMO on
aggressive techniques. On October 2, 2002, Jonathan Fredman, who was chief counsel to the
CIA's CounterTerrorist Center, attended a meeting ofGTMO staff. Minutes of that meeting
indicate that it was dominated by a discussion of aggressive interrogation techniques including
sleep deprivation, death threats, and waterboarding, which was discussed in relation to its use in
SERE training. Mr. Fredman's advice to GTMO on applicable legal obligations was similar to
the analysis ofthose obligations in OLC's first Bybee memo. According to the meeting minutes,
Mr. Fredman said that ''the language ofthe statutes is written vaguely ... Severe physical pain
described as anything causing permanent damage to major organs or body parts. Mental torture
[is] described as anything leading to permanent, profound damage to the senses or personality."
Mr. Fredman said simply, "It is basically subject to perception. If the detainee dies you're doing
it wrong."
(U) On October 11,2002, Major General Michael Dunlavey, the Commander of JTF-170
at Guantanamo Bay, sent a memo to General James Hill, the Commander of US. Southern
Command (SOUfHCOM) requesting authority to use aggressive interrogation techniques.
Several of the techniques requested were similar to techniques used by lPRA and the military
services in SERE training, including stress positions, exploitation of detainee fears (such as fear
of dogs), removal of clothing, hooding, deprivation of light and sound, and the so-called wet
towel treatment or the waterboard. Some ofthe techniques were even referred to as "those used
in US. military interrogation resistance training." Lieutenant Colonel Diane Beaver, GTMO's
Staff Judge Advocate, wrote an analysis justifYing the legality of the techniques, though she
expected that a broader legal review conducted at more senior levels would follow her own. On
October 25, 2002, General Hill forwarded the GTMO request from Major General Dunlavey to
General Richard Myers, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Days later, the Joint Staff
solicited the views of the military services on the request.
(U) Plans to use aggressive interrogation techniques generated concerns by some at
GTMO. The Deputy Commander ofthe Department of Defense's Criminal Investigative Task
Force (CITF) at GTMO told the Committee that SERE techniques were "developed to better
prepare U.S. military personnel to resist interrogations and not as a means of obtaining reliable
information" and that "CITF was troubled with the rationale that techniques used to harden
resistance to interrogations would be the basis for the utilization oftechniques to obtain
information." Concerns were not limited to the effectiveness of the techniques in obtaining
reliable information; GTMO's request gave rise to significant legal concerns as well.

Military Lawyers Raise Red Flags and Joint Staff Review Quashed (D)
(U) In early November 2002, in a series of memos responding to the Joint Staff's call for
comments on GTMO's request, the military services identified serious legal concerns about the
techniques and called for additional analysis.
(U) The Air Force cited "serious concerns regarding the legality of many ofthe proposed
techniques" and stated that "techniques described may be subject to challenge as failing to meet
the requirements outlined in the military order to treat detainees humanely..." The Air Force
also called for an in depth legal review ofthe request.
(U) CITF's Chief Legal Advisor wrote that certain techniques in GTMO's October 11,
2002 request "may subject service members to punitive articles of the [Uniform Code of Military
Justice]," called "the utility and legality of applying certain techniques" in the request
"questionable," and stated that he could not "advocate any action, interrogation or otherwise, that
is predicated upon the principle that all is well if the ends justify the means and others are not
aware of how we conduct our business."
(U) The Chief ofthe Army's International and Operational Law Division wrote that
techniques like stress positions, deprivation of light and auditory stimuli, and use of phobias to
induce stress "crosses the line of 'humane' treatment," would "likely be considered
maltreatment" under the UCMJ, and "may violate the torture statute." The Army labeled
GTMO's request "legally insufficient" and called for additional review.
(U) The Navy recommended a "more detailed interagency legal and policy review" of the
request. And the Marine Corps expressed strong reservations, stating that several techniques in
the request "arguably violate federal law, and would expose our service members to possible
prosecution." The Marine Corps also said the request was not "legally sufficient," and like the
other services, called for "a more thorough legal and policy review."
(U) Then-Captain (now Rear Admiral) Jane Dalton, Legal Counsel to the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that her staff discussed the military services' concerns with the
DoD General Counsel's Office at the time and that the DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes was
aware ofthe services' concerns. Mr. Haynes, on the other hand, testified that he did not know
that the memos from the military services existed (a statement he later qualified by stating that he
was not sure he knew they existed). Eliana Davidson, the DoD Associate Deputy General
Counsel for International Affairs, said that she told the General Counsel that the GTMO request
needed further assessment. Mr. Haynes did not recall Ms. Davidson telling him that.
(U) Captain Dalton, who was the Chairman's Legal Counsel, said that she had her own
concerns with the GTMO request and directed her staffto initiate a thorough legal and policy
review ofthe techniques. That review, however, was cut short. Captain Dalton said that General
Myers returned from a meeting and advised her that Mr. Haynes wanted her to stop her review,

in part because of concerns that people were going to see the GTMO request and the military
services' analysis of it. Neither General Myers nor Mr. Haynes recalled cutting short the Dalton
review, though neither has challenged Captain Dalton's recollection. Captain Dalton testified
that this occasion marked the only time she had ever been told to stop analyzing a request that
came to her for review.
Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld Approves Aggressive Techniques (U)
(U) With respect to GTMO's October 11, 2002 request to use aggressive interrogation
techniques, Mr. Haynes said that "there was a sense by the DoD Leadership that this decision
was taking too long" and that Secretary Rumsfeld told his senior advisors "I need a
recommendation" On November 27, 2002, the Secretary got one. Notwithstanding the serious
legal concerns raised by the military services, Mr. Haynes sent a one page memo to the
Secretary, recommending that he approve all but three ofthe eighteen techniques in the GTMO
request. Techniques such as stress positions, removal of clothing, use of phobias (such as fear of
dogs), and deprivation oflight and auditory stimuli were all recommended for approval.
(U) Mr. Haynes's memo indicated that he had discussed the issue with Deputy Secretary
of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Doug Feith, and General
Myers and that he believed they concurred in his recommendation. When asked what he relied
on to make his recommendation that the aggressive techniques be approved, the only written
legal opinion Mr. Haynes cited was Lieutenant Colonel Beaver's legal analysis, which senior
military lawyers had considered "legally insufficient" and "woefully inadequate," and which
LTC Beaver herself had expected would be supplemented with a review by persons with greater
experience than her own.
(U) On December 2,2002, Secretary Rumsfeld signed Mr. Haynes's recommendation,
adding a handwritten note that referred to limits proposed in the memo on the use of stress
positions: "I stand for 8-10 hours a day. Why is standing limited to 4 hours?"
(U) SERE school techniques are designed to simulate abusive tactics used by our
enemies. There are fundamental differences between a SERE school exercise and a real world
interrogation. At SERE school, students are subject to an extensive medical and psychological
pre-screening prior to being subjected to physical and psychological pressures. The schools
impose strict limits on the frequency, duration, and/or intensity of certain techniques.
Psychologists are present throughout SERE training to intervene should the need arise and to
help students cope with associated stress. And SERE school is voluntary; students are even
given a special phrase they can use to immediately stop the techniques from being used against
them.
(U) Neither those differences, nor the serious legal concerns that had been registered,
stopped the Secretary of Defense from approving the use of the aggressive techniques against
detainees. Moreover, Secretary Rumsfeld authorized the techniques without apparently
providing any written guidance as to how they should be administered.

SERE Techniques at GTMO (U)


(U) Following the Secretary's December 2, 2002 authorization, senior staff at GTMO

began drafting a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) specifically for the use of SERE
techniques in interrogations. The draft SOP itself stated that "The premise behind this is that the
interrogation tactics used at U.S. military SERE schools are appropriate for use in real-world
interrogations. These tactics and techniques are used at SERE school to 'break' SERE detainees.
The same tactics and techniques can be used to break real detainees during interrogation" The
draft "GTMO SERE SOP" described how to slap, strip, and place detainees in stress positions. It
also described other SERE techniques, such as "hooding," "manhandling," and "walling"
detainees.
(U) On December 30,2002, two instructors from the Navy SERE school arrived at
GTMO. The next day, in a session with approximately 24 interrogation personnel, the two
SERE instructors demonstrated how to administer stress positions, and various slapping
techniques. According to two interrogators, those who attended the training even broke off into
pairs to practice the techniques.
(U) ExemplifYing the disturbing nature and substance ofthe training, the SERE
instructors explained "Biderman's Principles" - which were based on coercive methods used by
the Chinese Communist dictatorship to elicit false confessions from U.S. POWs during the
Korean War - and left with GTMO personnel a chart ofthose coercive techniques. Three days
after they conducted the training, the SERE instructors met with GTMO's Commander, Major
General Geoffrey Miller. According to some who attended that meeting, Major General Miller
stated that he did not want his interrogators using the techniques that the Navy SERE instructors
had demonstrated. That conversation, however, took place after the training had already
occurred and not all ofthe interrogators who attended the training got the message.
(U) At about the same time, a dispute over the use of aggressive techniques was raging at

GTMO over the interrogation of Mohammed al-Khatani, a high value detainee. Personnel from
CITF and the Federal Bureau ofInvestigations (FBI) had registered strong opposition, to
interrogation techniques proposed for use on Khatani and made those concerns known to the
DoD General Counsel's office. Despite those objections, an interrogation plan that included
aggressive techniques was approved. The interrogation itself, which actually began on
November 23,2002, a week before the Secretary's December 2,2002 grant of blanket authority
for the use of aggressive techniques, continued through December and into mid-January 2003.
(U) NSC Legal Advisor John Bellinger said that, on several occasions, Deputy Assistant

Attorney General Bruce Swartz raised concerns with him about allegations of detainee abuse at
GTMO. Mr. Bellinger said that, in tum, he raised these concerns "on several occasions with
DoD officials and was told that the allegations were being investigated by the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service." Then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said that Mr.
Bellinger also advised her "on a regular basis regarding concerns and issues relating to DoD
detention policies and practices at Guantanamo." She said that as a result she convened a "series

of meetings ofNSC Principals in 2002 and 2003 to discuss various issues and concerns relating
to detainees in the custody ofthe Department of Defense."
(U) Between mid-December 2002 and mid-January 2003, Navy General Counsel Alberto
Mora spoke with the DoD General Counsel three times to express his concerns about
interrogation techniques at GTMO, at one point telling Mr. Haynes that he thought techniques
that had been authorized by the Secretary of Defense "could rise to the level oftorture." On
January 15,2003, having received no word that the Secretary's authority would be withdrawn,
Mr. Mora went so far as to deliver a draft memo to Mr. Haynes's office memorializing his legal
concerns about the techniques. In a subsequent phone call, Mr. Mora told Mr. Haynes he would
sign his memo later that day unless he heard defmitively that the use ofthe techniques was
suspended. In a meeting that same day, Mr. Haynes told Mr. Mora that the Secretary would
rescind the techniques. Secretary Rumsfeld signed a memo rescinding authority for the
techniques on January 15,2003.
(U) That same day, GTMO suspended its use of aggressive techniques on Khatani.
While key documents relating to the interrogation remain classified, published accounts indicate
that military working dogs had been used against Khatani. He had also been deprived of
adequate sleep for weeks on end, stripped naked, subjected to loud music, and made to wear a
leash and perform dog tricks. In a June 3, 2004 press briefing, SOUTHCOM Commander
General James Hill traced the source oftechniques used on Khatani back to SERE, stating: "The
staff at Guantanamo working with behavioral scientists, having gone up to our SERE school and
developed a list of techniques which our lawyers decided and looked at, said were OK." General
Hill said "we began to use a few ofthose techniques ... on this individuaL."
(U) On May 13, 2008, the Pentagon announced in a written statement that the Convening
Authority for military commissions "dismissed without prejudice the sworn charges against
Mohamed al Khatani." The statement does not indicate the role his treatment may have played
in that decision.

DoD Working Group Ignores Military Lawyers and Relies on OLC (D)
(U) On January 15, 2003, the same day he rescinded authority for GTMO to use
aggressive techniques, Secretary Rumsfeld directed the establishment of a "Working Group" to
review interrogation techniques. For the next few months senior military and civilian lawyers
tried, without success, to have their concerns about the legality of aggressive techniques reflected
in the Working Group's report. Their arguments were rejected in favor ofa legal opinion from
the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) John Yoo. Mr. Yoo's opinion, the
final version of which 'was dated March 14,2003, had been requested by Mr. Haynes at the
initiation ofthe Working Group process, and repeated much of what the first Bybee memo had
said six months earlier.
(U) The first Bybee memo, dated August 1, 2002, had concluded that, to violate the
federal torture statute, physical pain that resulted from an act would have to be "equivalent in
intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of

bodily function, or even death." Mr. Yoo's March 14, 2003 memo stated that criminal laws,
such as the federal torture statute, would not apply to certain military interrogations, and that
interrogators could not be prosecuted by the Justice Department for using interrogation methods
that would otherwise violate the law.
(U) Though the final Working Group report does not specifically mention SERE, the list
ofinterrogation techniques it evaluated and recommended for approval suggest the influence of
SERE. Removal of clothing, prolonged standing, sleep deprivation, dietary manipulation,
hooding, increasing anxiety through the use of a detainee's aversions like dogs, and face and
stomach slaps were all recommended for approval.
(U) On April 16, 2003, less than two weeks after the Working Group completed its
report, the Secretary authorized the use of24 specific interrogation techniques for use at GTMO.
While the authorization included such techniques as dietary manipulation, environmental
manipulation, and sleep adjustment, it was silent on many ofthe techniques in the Working
Group report. Secretary Rumsfeld's memo said, however, that "If, in your view, you require
additional interrogation techniques for a particular detainee, you should provide me, via the
Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff, a written request describing the proposed technique,
recommended safeguards, and the rationale for applying it with an identified detainee."
(U) Just a few months later, one such request for "additional interrogation techniques"
arrived on Secretary Rumsfeld's desk. The detainee was Mohamedou QuId Slahi. While
documents relating to the interrogation plan for Slahi remain classified, a May 2008 report from
the Department of Justice Inspector General includes declassified information suggesting the
plan included hooding Slahi and subjecting him to sensory deprivation and "sleep adjustment."
The Inspector General's report says that an FBI agent who saw a draft ofthe interrogation plan
said it was similar to Khatani's interrogation plan. Secretary Rumsfeld approved the Slahi plan
on August 13, 2003.

Aggressive Techniques Authorized in Afghanistan and Iraq (U)


(U) Shortly after Secretary Rumsfeld's December 2,2002 approval ofhis General
Counsel's recommendation to authorize aggressive interrogation techniques, the techniques
and the fact the Secretary had authorized them - became known to interrogators in Mghanistan.
A copy of the Secretary's memo was sent from GTMO to Mghanistan. Captain Carolyn Wood,
the Officer in Charge ofthe Intelligence Section at Bagram Airfield in Mghanistan, said that in
January 2003 she saw a power point presentation listing the aggressive techniques that had been
authorized by the Secretary.
(U) Despite the Secretary's January 15,2003 rescission of authority for GTMO to use
aggressive techniques, his initial approval six weeks earlier continued to influence interrogation
policies.
(U) On January 24, 2003, nine days after Secretary Rumsfe1d rescinded authority for the
techniques at GTMO, the Staff Judge Advocate for Combined Joint Task Force 180 (CJTF-180),

u.s. Central Command's (CENTCOM) conventional forces in Afghanistan, produced an


"Interrogation techniques" memo. While that memo remains classified, unclassified portions of
a report by Major General George Fay stated that the memo "recommended removal of clothing
- a technique that had been in the Secretary's December 2 authorization" and discussed
"exploiting the Arab fear of dogs" another technique approved by the Secretary on December 2,
2002.
(U) From Afghanistan, the techniques made their way to Iraq. According to the
Department of Defense (DoD) Inspector General (lG), at the beginning ofthe Iraq war, special
mission unit forces in Iraq "used a January 2003 Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which had
been developed for operations in Afghanistan." According to the DoD IG, the Afghanistan SOP
had been:

[I]nfluenced by the counter-resistance memorandum that the Secretary of Defense


approved on December 2, 2002 and incorporated techniques designed for
detainees who were identified as unlawful combatants. Subsequent battlefield
interrogation SOPs included techniques such as yelling, loud music, and light
control, environmental manipulation, sleep deprivation/adjustment, stress
positions, 20-hour interrogations, and controlled fear (muzzled dogs) ...
(U) Techniques approved by the Secretary of Defense in December 2002 reflect the
influence of SERE. And not only did those techniques make their way into official interrogation
policies in Iraq, but instructors from the JPRA SERE school followed. The DoD IG reported that
in September 2003, at the request ofthe Commander ofthe Special Mission Unit Task Force,
JPRA deployed a team to Iraq to assist interrogation operations. During that trip, which was
explicitly approved by U.S. Joint Forces Command, JPRA's higher headquarters, SERE
instructors were authorized to participate in the interrogation of detainees in U.S. military
custody using SERE techniques.
(U) In September 2008 testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Colonel
Steven Kleinman, an Air Force Reservist who was a member ofthe interrogation support team
sent by JPRA to the Special Mission Unit Task Force in Iraq, described abusive interrogations he
witnessed, and intervened to stop, during that trip. Colonel Kleinman said that one ofthose
interrogations, which took place in a room painted all in black with a spotlight on the detainee,
the interrogator repeatedly slapped a detainee who was kneeling on the floor in front ofthe
interrogator. In another interrogation Colonel Kleinman said the two other members ofthe
JPRA team took a hooded detainee to a bunker at the Task Force facility, forcibly stripped him
naked and left him, shackled by the wrist and ankles, to stand for 12 hours.
(U) Interrogation techniques used by the Special Mission Unit Task Force eventually
made their way into Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued for all U.S. forces in Iraq. In
the summer of2003, Captain Wood, who by that time was the Interrogation Officer in Charge at
Abu Ghraib, obtained a copy ofthe Special Mission Unit interrogation policy and submitted it,
virtually unchanged, to her chain of command as proposed policy.

(U) Captain Wood submitted her proposed policy around the same time that a message
was being conveyed that interrogators should be more aggressive with detainees. In mid-August
2003, an email from staffat Combined Joint Task Force 7 (CJTF-7) headquarters in Iraq
requested that subordinate units provide input for a "wish list" of interrogation techniques, stated
that "the gloves are coming off," and said "we want these detainees broken." At the end of
August 2003, Major General Geoffrey Miller, the GTMO Commander, led a team to Iraq to
assess interrogation and detention operations. Colonel Thomas Pappas, the Commander ofthe
20S th Military Intelligence Brigade, who met with Major General Miller during that visit, said
that the tenor of the discussion was that "we had to get tougher with the detainees." A Chief
Warrant Officer with the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) said that during Major General Miller's tour
ofthe ISG's facility, Major General Miller said the ISG was "running a country club" for
detainees.
(U) On September 14,2003 the Commander ofCJTF-7, Lieutenant General Ricardo
Sanchez, issued the fIrst CJTF-7 interrogation SOP. That SOP authorized interrogators in Iraq to
use stress positions, environmental manipulation, sleep management, and military working dogs
in interrogations. Lieutenant General Sanchez issued the September 14, 2003 policy with the
knowledge that there were ongoing discussions about the legality of some of the approved
techniques. Responding to legal concerns from CENTCOM lawyers about those techniques,
Lieutenant General Sanchez issued a new policy on October 12,2003, eliminating many ofthe
previously authorized aggressive techniques. The new policy, however, contained ambiguities
with respect to certain techniques, such as the use of dogs in interrogations, and led to confusion
about which techniques were permitted.
(U) In his report of his investigation into Abu Ghraib, Major General George Fay said
that interrogation techniques developed for GTMO became "confused" and were implemented at
Abu Ghraib. For example, Major General Fay said that removal of clothing, while not included
in CJTF-Ts SOP, was "imported" to Abu Ghraib, could be ''traced through Mghanistan and
GTMO," and contributed to an environment at Abu Ghraib that appeared "to condone depravity
and degradation rather than humane treatment of detainees." Major General Fay said that the
policy approved by the Secretary of Defense on December 2,2002 contributed to the use of
aggressive interrogation techniques at Abu Ghraib in late 2003.

OLC Withdraws Legal Opinion - JFCOM Issues Guidance on JPRA "Offensive" Support
(U)

(U) As the events at Abu Ghraib were unfolding, Jack Goldsmith, the new Assistant Attorney
General for the Office of Legal Counsel was presented with a "short stack" of 0 Le opinions that
were described to him as problematic. Included in that short stack were the Bybee memos of
August 1,2002 and Mr. Yoo's memo of March 2003. After reviewing the memos, Mr.
Goldsmith decided to rescind both the so-called fIrst Bybee memo and Mr. Yoo's memo. In late
December 2003, Mr. Goldsmith notifIed Mr. Haynes that DoD could no longer rely on Mr.
Yoo's memo in determining the lawfulness of interrogation techniques. The change in OLe
guidance, however, did not keep JPRA from making plans to continue their support to
interrogation operations. In fact, it is not clear that the agency was even aware ofthe change.

(U) In 2004, JPRA and CENTCOM took steps to send a JPRA training team to
Afghanistan to assist in detainee interrogations there. In the wake of the public disclosure of
detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib, however, that trip was cancelled and JFCOM subsequently issued
policy guidance limiting JPRA's support to interrogations.
(U) On September 29, 2004 Major General James Soligan, JFCOM's Chief of StatI,
issued a memorandum referencing JPRA's support to interrogation operations. Major General
Soligan wrote:

Recent requests from [the Office of the Secretary of Defense] and the Combatant
Commands have solicited JPRA support based on knowledge and information
gained through the debriefing of former U.S. POWs and detainees and their
application to U.S. Strategic debriefmg and interrogation techniques. These
requests, which can be characterized as 'offensive' support, go beyond the
chartered responsibilities of JPRA... The use of resistance to interrogation
knowledge for 'offensive' purposes lies outside the roles and responsibilities of
JPRA
(U) Lieutenant General Robert Wagner, the Deputy Commander of JFCOM, later called
requests for JPRA interrogation support "inconsistent with the unit's charter" and said that such
requests "might create conditions which tasked JPRA to engage in offensive operational
activities outside of JPRA's defensive mission."
(U) Interrogation policies endorsed by senior military and civilian officials authorizing
the use of harsh interrogation techniques were a major cause of the abuse of detainees in U.S.
custody. The impact ofthose abuses has been significant. In a 2007 international BBC poll,
only 29 percent of people around the world said the United States is a generally positive
influence in the world. Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo have a lot to do with that perception. The
fact that America is seen in a negative light by so many complicates our ability to attract allies to
our side, strengthens the hand of our enemies, and reduces our ability to collect intelligence that
can save lives.
(U) It is particularly troubling that senior officials approved the use of interrogation
techniques that were originally designed to simulate abusive tactics used by our enemies against
our own soldiers and that were modeled, in part, on tactics used by the Communist Chinese to
elicit false confessions from U.S. military personnel. While some argue that the brutality and
disregard for human life shown by al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists justifies us treating them
harshly, General David Petraeus explained why that view is misguided. In a May 2007 letter to
his troops, General Petraeus said "Our values and thelaws governing warfare teach us to respect
human dignity, maintain our integrity, and do what is right. Adherence to our values
distinguishes us from our enemy. This fight depends on securing the population, which must
understand that we - not our enemies - occupy the moral high ground."

Senate AImed Services Committee Conclusions


Conclusion 1: On February 7,2002, President George W. Bush made a written determination
that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which would have afforded minimum
standards for humane treatment, did not apply to al Qaeda or Taliban detainees. Following the
President's determination, techniques such as waterboarding, nudity, and stress positions, used in
SERE training to simulate tactics used by enemies that refuse to follow the Geneva Conventions,
were authorized for use in interrogations of detainees in U.S. custody.
Conclusion 2: Members of the President's Cabinet and other senior officials participated in
meetings inside the White House in 2002 and 2003 where specific interrogation techniques were
d~scussed. National Security Council Principals reviewed the CIA's interrogation program
during that period.
Conclusions on SERE Training Techniques and Interrogations
Conclusion 3: The use oftechniques similar to those used in SERE resistance training - such
as stripping students of their clothing, placing them in stress positions, putting hoods over their
heads, and treating them like animals - was at odds with the commitment to humane treatment of
detainees in U.S. custody. Using those techniques for interrogating detainees was also
inconsistent with the goal of collecting accurate intelligence information, as the purpose of SERE
resistance training is to increase the ability of U. S. personnel to resist abusive interrogations and
the techniques used were based, in part, on Chinese Communist techniques used during the
Korean War to elicit false confessions.
Conclusion 4: The use oftechniques in interrogations derived from SERE resistance training
created a serious risk of physical and psychological harm to detainees. The SERE schools
employ strict controls to reduce the risk of physical and psychological harm to students during
training. Those controls include medical and psychological screening for students, interventions
by trained psychologists during training, and code words to ensure that students can stop the
application of a technique at any time should the need arise. Those same controls are not present
in real world interrogations.
Conclusions on Senior Official Consideration of SERE Techniques for Interrogations
Conclusion 5: In July 2002, the Office ofthe Secretary of Defense General Counsel solicited
information from the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) on SERE techniques for use
during interrogations. That solicitation, prompted by requests from Department of Defense
General Counsel William J. Haynes II, reflected the view that abusive tactics similar to those
used by our enemies should be considered for use against detainees in U.S. custody.'
Conclusion 6: The Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) interrogation program included at least
one SERE training technique, waterboarding. Senior Administration lawyers, including Alberto

Gonzales, Counsel to the President, and David Addington, Counsel to the Vice President, were
consulted on the development oflegal analysis of CIA interrogation techniques. Legal opinions
subsequently issued by the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) interpreted
legal obligations under u.s. anti-torture laws and determined the legality of CIA interrogation
techniques. Those OLC opinions distorted the meaning and intent ofanti-torture laws,
rationalized the abuse of detainees in U.S. custody and influenced Department of Defense
determinations as to what interrogation techniques were legal for use during interrogations
conducted by u.s. military personnel. .
Conclusions on JPRA Offensive Activities
Conclusion 7: Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) efforts in support of"offensive"
interrogation operations went beyond the agency's knowledge and expertise. JPRA's support to
U.S. government interrogation efforts contributed to detainee abuse. JPRA's offensive support
also influenced the development of policies that authorized abusive interrogation techniques for
use against detainees in U.S. custody.
Conclusion 8: Detainee abuse occurred during JPRA's support to Special Mission Unit (SMU)
Task Force (TF) interrogation operations in Iraq in September 2003. JPRA Commander Colonel
Randy Moulton's authorization of SERE instructors, who had no experience in detainee
interrogations, to actively participate in Task Force interrogations using SERE resistance training
techniques was a serious failure in judgment. The Special Mission Unit Task Force
Commander's failure to order that SERE resistance training techniques not be used in detainee
interrogations was a serious failure in leadership that led to the abuse of detainees in Task Force
custody. Iraq is a Geneva Convention theater and techniques used in SERE school are
inconsistent with the obligations of U.S. personnel under the Geneva Conventions.
Conclusion 9: Combatant Command requests for JPRA "offensive" interrogation support and
U.S. Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) authorization ofthat support led to JPRA operating
outside the agency's charter and beyond its expertise. Only when JFCOM's Staff Judge
Advocate became aware of and raised concerns about JPRA's support to offensive interrogation
operations in late September 2003 did JFCOM leadership begin to take steps to curtail JPRA's
"offensive" activities. It was not until September 2004, however, that JFCOM issued a formal
policy stating that support to offensive interrogation operations was outside JPRA's charter.
Conclusions on GTMO's Request for Ageressive Techniques
Conclusion 10: Interrogation techniques in Guantanamo Bay's (GTMO) October 11, 2002
request for authority submitted by Major General Michael Dunlavey, were influenced by JPRA
training for GTMO interrogation personnel and included techniques similar to those used in
SERE training to teach U.S. personnel to resist abusive enemy interrogations. GTMO Staff
Judge Advocate Lieutenant Colonel Diane Beaver's legal review justifying the October 11, 2002
GTMO request was profoundly in error and legally insufficient. Leaders at GTMO, including
Major General Dunlavey's successor, Major General Geoffrey Miller, ignored warnings from

DoD's Criminal Investigative Task Force and the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation that the
techniques were potentially unlawful and that their use would strengthen detainee resistance.

Conclusion 11: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers's decision to cut
short the legal and policy review of the October 11,2002 GTMO request initiated by his Legal
Counsel, then-Captain Jane Dalton, undermined the military's review process. Subsequent
conclusions reached by Chairman Myers and Captain Dalton regarding the legality of
interrogation techniques in the request followed a grossly deficient review and were at odds with
conclusions previously reached by the Anny, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Criminal
Investigative Task Force.
Conclusion 12: Department of Defense General Counsel William 1. Haynes II's effort to cut
short the legal and policy review of the October 11,2002 GTMO request initiated by then
Captain Jane Dahon, Legal Counsel to the Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff, was
inappropriate and undermined the military's review process. The General Counsel's subsequent
review was grossly deficient. Mr. Haynes's one page recommendation to Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld failed to address the serious legal concerns that had been previously raised by
the military services about techniques in the GTMO request. Further, Mr. Haynes's reliance on a
legal memo produced by GTMO's Staff Judge Advocate that senior military lawyers called
"legally insufficient" and "woefully inadequate" is deeply troubling.
Conclusion 13: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's authorization of aggressive
interrogation techniques for use at Guantanamo Bay was a direct cause of detainee abuse there.
Secretary Rumsfeld's December 2,2002 approval of Mr. Haynes's recommendation that most of
the techniques contained in GTMO's October 11, 2002 request be authorized, influenced and
contributed to the use of abusive techniques, including military working dogs, forced nudity, and
stress positions, in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Conclusion 14: Department of Defense General Counsel William 1. Haynes II's direction to the
Department of Defense's Detainee Working Group in early 2003 to consider a legal memo from
John Yoo ofthe Department of Justice's OLC as authoritative, blocked the Working Group from
conducting a fair and complete legal analysis and resulted in a report that, in the words ofthen
Department ofthe Navy General Counsel Alberto Mora contained "profound mistakes in its
legal analysis." Reliance on the OLC memo resulted in a final Working Group report that
recommended approval of several aggressive techniques, including removal of clothing, sleep
deprivation, and slapping, similar to those used in SERE training to teach U. S. personnel to resist
abusive interrogations.
Conclusions on Interrogations in Iraq and Afghanistan
Conclusion 15: Special Mission Unit (SMU) Task Force (TF) interrogation policies were
influenced by the Secretary of Defense's December 2,2002 approval of aggressive interrogation
teclmiques for use at GTMO. SMU TF interrogation policies in Iraq included the use of
aggressive interrogation techniques such as military working dogs and stress positions. SMU TF

policies were a direct cause of detainee abuse and influenced interrogation policies at Abu
Ghraib and elsewhere in Iraq.
Conclusion 16: During his assessment visit to Iraq in August and September 2003, GTMO
Commander Major General Geoffrey Miller encouraged a view that interrogators should be more
aggressive during detainee interrogations.
Conclusion 17: Interrogation policies approved by Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, which
included the use of military working dogs and stress positions, were a direct cause of detainee
abuse in Iraq. Lieutenant General Sanchez's decision to issue his September 14,2003 policy
with the knowledge that there were ongoing discussions as to the legality of some techniques in
it was a serious error in judgment The September policy was superseded on October 12,2003
as a result oflegal concerns raised by U.S. Central Command. That superseding policy,
however, contained ambiguities and contributed to confusion about whether aggressive
techniques, such as military working dogs, were authorized for use during interrogations.
Conclusion 18: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) failed to conduct proper oversight of
Special Mission Unit Task Force interrogation policies. Though aggressive interrogation
techniques were removed from Combined Joint Task Force 7 interrogation policies after
CENTCOM raised legal concerns about their inclusion in the September 14, 2003 policy issued
by Lieutenant General Sanchez, SMU TF interrogation policies authorized some ofthose same
techniques, including stress positions and military working dogs.
Conclusion 19: The abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib in late 2003 was not simply the result of a
few soldiers acting on their own. Interrogation techniques such as stripping detainees oftheir
clothes, placing them in stress positions, and using military working dogs to intimidate them
appeared in Iraq only after they had been approved for use in Afghanistan and at GTMO.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's December 2,2002 authorization of aggressive
interrogation techniques and subsequent interrogation policies and plans approved by senior
military and civilian officials conveyed the message that physical pressures and degradation were
appropriate treatment for detainees in U.S. military custody. What followed was an erosion in
standards dictating that detainees be treated humanely.

Early Influences on Interrogation Policy (U)


A.

RedefUJing the Legal Framework For the Treatment ofDetainees (U)

(U) From the time oftheir ratification until the invasion of Mghanistan in 2001, the
United States government had accepted the terms ofthe Geneva Conventions and the U.S.
military had trained its personnel to apply the Conventions during wartime. Soon after the
launch of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), however, Administration lawyers constructed a
new legal framework that abandoned the traditional U.S. application ofthe Geneva
Conventions. 1
(U) On January 9, 2002 attorneys at the Department of Justice wrote a memorandum to
Department of Defense (DoD) General Counsel William "Jim" Haynes II, advising him that the
Third Geneva Convention did not apply to the conflict with al Qaeda or the Taliban in
Mghanistan. 2 The attorneys wrote the memo with the understanding that the Defense
Department had established a long-term detention site at the U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba (GTMO) for al Qaeda and Taliban members captured by U.S. military forces or transferred
from U.S. allies in Mghanistan. 3
(U) On January 18,2002, White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales advised the President
ofthe Department of Justice (Dol) opinion. 4 After being briefed by Judge Gonzales, the
President concluded that the Third Geneva Convention did not apply to the conflict with al
Qaeda or to members of the Taliban, and that they would not receive the protections afforded to
Prisoners Of War (POWS).5

According to Jack Goldsmith, Special Counsel in the Department of Defense (2002-2003) and Assistant Attorney
General, Office of Legal Counsel (2003-2004): "never in the history of the United States had lawyers had such
extraordinary influence over war policies as they did after 9/11. The lawyers weren't necessarily expert on al
Qaeda, or Islamic fundamentalism, or intelligence, or international diplomacy, or even the requirements of national
security. But the lawyers---especially White House and Justice Department lawyers-seemed to 'own' issues that
had profound national security and political and diplomatic consequences." These Administration lawyers
"dominated discussions on detention, military commissions, interrogation, GlMO, and many other controversial
terrorism policies." Jack Goldsmith, The Terror Presidency: Law and Judgment Inside the Bush Administration

(U) On January 19,2002, Secretary ofDefense Donald Rumsfeld instructed the


Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers, to infonn all Combatant
Commanders that al Qaeda and Taliban members are "not entitled to prisoner of war status"
under the Geneva Conventions. 6 Secretary Rumsfeld added that combatant commanders should
"treat [detainees] humanely and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with military necessity,
in a manner consistent with the principles ofthe Geneva Conventions of 1949." 7 Secretary
Rumsfeld also instructed that his order be transmitted to the subordinate command at
Guantanamo Bay for implementation. On January 21,2002 the Chairman infonned the
combatant commanders ofthe new policy. 8
(U) During the next few weeks - after Secretary of State Colin Powell asked the
President to reconsider his decision - Administration attorneys debated the rationale for denying
legal protections under the Geneva Conventions to members of al Qaeda and the Taliban. 9 On
January 25,2002, Judge Gonzales argued in a memorandum to the President that the war on
terror had "render[ed] obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and
render[ed] quaint some of its provisions ..." He recommended that the President stand by his
order to set aside the Geneva Conventions. 10
(U) On February 7,2002, President Bush signed a memorandum stating that the Third
Geneva Convention did not apply to the conflict with al Qaeda and concluding that Taliban
detainees (designated as ''unlawful combatants" in the memorandum) were not entitled to POW
status or the legal protections afforded by the Third Geneva Convention. 11 While the President
also found that Common Article 3 (requiring humane treatment) did not apply to either al Qaeda
or Taliban detainees, his order stated that as "a matter of policy, the United States Armed Forces

Memo from White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to President George W. Bush, Decision Re Application Of
The Geneva Convention on Prisoners OfWar To The Coriflict WithAl Qaeda And The Taliban (January 25,2002).

Judge Gonzales dismissed as ''unpersuasive''legal and policy arguments that such an order would reverse
longstanding U.S. policy and practice; undermine the protections afforded to U.S. or coalition forces captured in
Afghanistan; limit prosecution of enemy forces under the War Crimes Act (which only applies if the Geneva
Conventions apply); provoke widespread international condemnation, even if the U.S. complies with the core
humanitarian principles of the treaty as a matter of policy; may encourage other countries to look for "technical
loopholes" to avoid being bound by the Geneva Conventions; may discourage allies from turning over terrorists to
the U.S. or providing legal assistance to the U.S.; may undermine U.S. militaIy culture which emphasizes
maintaining the highest standard of conduct in combat; and could introduce an element of uncertainty in the status of
adversaries. According to Gonzales, the "positive" consequences of setting aside the Third Geneva Convention
included "preserving flexibility" in the war and "substantially reduc[ing] the threat of domestic criminal prosecution

shall continue to treat detainees humanely and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with
military necessity, in a manner consistent with the principles ofthe Geneva Conventions." 12
(U) The President's policy statement was directed at the United States Armed Forces.
The Committee is unaware ofa similar Presidential policy statement governing other agencies'
treatment of detainees. A February 2, 2002 State Department memo reflected that
Administration lawyers involved in the discussion about the application ofthe Third Geneva
Convention to the Taliban and al Qaeda had "all agree[d] that the CIA is bound by the same legal
restrictions as the U.S. military.,,13 The memo also stated, however, that "CIA lawyers
believe[d] that, to the extent that the [Third Geneva Convention's] protections do not apply as a
matter of law but those protections are applied as a matter of polici" it is desirable to
circumscribe that policy so as to limit its application to the CIA,,1 According to the memo,
"other Administration lawyers involved did not disagree with or object to the CIA's view."IS
Months later, in an October 2, 2002 meeting with DoD officials at Guantanamo Bay, Chief
Counsel to the CIA's CounterTerrorist Center (CTC) Jonathan Fredman reportedly stated that the
"CIA rallied" for the Conventions not to apply.16
(U) Several military officers, including members ofthe Judge Advocate General (JAG)
Corps, have described difficulties in interpreting and implementing the President's February 7,
2002 order. A former Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) for the Joint Forces Command (JFCOM)
stated that he thought the President's order was a tough standard for the Department of Defense
(DoD) to apply in the field because it replaced a well-established military doctrine (legal
compliance with the Geneva Conventions) with a policy that was subject to interpretation. 17 The
President's order was not, apparently, followed by any guidance that defined the terms
"humanely" or "military necessity." As a result, those in the field were left to interpret the
President's order.

Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA), headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, for
infonnation about detainee "exploitation.,,18
.
(U) JPRA is an agency of the Department of Defense under the command authority ofthe
U.S. Joint Forces Command (JFCOM). Part of JPRA's mission is to oversee military Survival
Evasion Resistance and Escape (SERE) training. 19 In the "resistance" phase of SERE training,
students are subject to physical and psychological pressures (SERE techniques) designed to
simulate conditions to which they might be subject if captured by an enemy that did not abide by
the Geneva Conventions. Exposing U.S. military personnel to these physical and psychological
pressures in a highly controlled environment equips them with the skills needed to increase
resistance to hostile interrogations. Among the physical and psychological pressures used at
SERE schools are stress positions, sleep deprivation, face and abdomen slaps, isolation,
degradation (such as treating the student like an animal), and "walling." Until November 2007,
waterboarding was also an approved training technique in the U.S. Navy SERE school. 20

The SERE schools employ a number of strict controls to limit the physical
or psychological impact ofthese techniques on their students. 21 For example, there are limits on
the frequency, duration, and/or intensity of certain techniques. Instructors are also required to
consider the extensive medical and/or psychological screening records of each student before
administering any technique. 22 Students are even given a phrase they can use to make the
instructor immediately cease application of all pressures. 2

Responses of Jerald Ogrisseg to Questions for the Record (July 28, 2008) ("Military SERE training students are
screened multiple times prior to participating in training to ensure that they are physical and psychologically healthy.
They get screened prior to entering the service to ensure that they don't have certain disorders. Students are
required to get screened by military doctors at their home bases prior to traveling for SERE training to ensure that
they meet the physical and psychological standards for participating in training. Most SERE schools also mandate
that students complete screening questionnaires after they arrive at SERE school as a ftnal safety check and for
additional help or interventions if needed, to include being restricted from experiencing particular training
procedures. Furthermore, the students arrive with their medical records in hand or available electronically to
document their entire medical history, and indications of prior psychological diagnoses since their original military
entry physicals. These procedures are used not only to screen people out of participating in training, but also for

(U) SERE instructors are themselves psychologically prescreened prior to hiring, and
must submit to a nearly year-long training process, annual psychological screening, and
extensive monitoring and oversight during practical exercises. These requirements are designed
to prevent instructor behavioral drift, which ifleft unmonitored, could lead to abuse of
students. 24
(U) JPRA's expertise lies in training U.S. military personnel who are at risk for capture,
how to respond and resist interrogations (a defensive mission), not in how to conduct
interrogations (an offensive mission). 25 The difference between the two missions is of critical
importance. SERE instructors play the part of interrogators, but they are not typically trained
interrogators. SERE instructors are not selected for their roles based on language skills,
intelligence training, or expertise in eliciting infonnation. 26

_ (
The risk of using SERE physical pressures in an interrogation context,
instead of in the highly controlled SERE school environment, was highlighted by the senior
Army SERE psychologist LTC Morgan Banks in an email to personnel at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba. He stated:
Because of the danger involved, very few SERE instructors are allowed to
actually use physical pressures. It is extremely easy for U.S. Army instructors,
training U. S. Army soldiers, to get out of hand, and to injure students. The
training, from the point ofthe student, appears to be chaotic and out of control. In
reality, everything that is occurring [in SERE school] is very carefully monitored
and paced; no one is acting on their own during training. Even with all these

identifying people who could be provided preventative interventions in order to increase their probab[ility] of
success in training.'')

Hearing (June 17,2008)"); FASO Detachment Brunswick Instruction 3305.C (January 1, 1998).

According to Dr. Jerald Ogrisseg, the former Chief of Psychology Services at the Air Force SERE school and
current JPRA Chief Human Factors, instructors are constantly monitored by other JPRA personnel, command staff,
and SERE psychologists to minimize the potential for students to be injured. These oversight mechanisms are
designed to ensure that SERE instructors are complying with operating instructions and to check for signs that
instructors do not suffer from moral disengagement (e.g., by becoming too absorbed in their roles as interrogators
and starting to view u.s. military SERE students as prisoners or detainees). These oversight mechanisms are also
designed to watch students for "indications that they are not coping well with training tasks, provide corrective
interventions with them before they become overwhelmed, and if need be, re-motivate students who have become
overwhelmed to enable them to succeed." Responses of Jerald Ogrisseg to Questions for the Record (July 28,

safeguards, injuries and accidents do happen. The risk with real detainees is
increased exponentially. 27
(U) Despite the differences between the simulated interrogations at SERE school and real

world interrogations of detainees, in December 2001, the DoD General Counsel's office sought
JPRA's advice on the "exploitation" of detainees. The Committee is not aware of JPRA
activities in support ofany offensive interrogation mission prior to that request from the General
Counsel's office. In response to the request, JPRA Chief of Staff Lt Col Daniel Baumgartner
sent Deputy General Counsel for Intelligence Richard Shiffiin a memorandum on the
"exploitation process" and a cover note offering further JPRA assistance on "exploitation and
how to resist it.,,28
_
The memorandum outlined JPRA's view on "obtaining useful intelligence
information from enemy prisoners of war" (EPWs).29
(U)
The memo provided the JPRA perspective on how their SERE school staff
would handle the "initial capture," "movement," and "detention" of prisoners. 30 It also provided
advice on interrogation and recommended various approaches, including the use ofundefined
"deprivations. ,,31

_
The memo cautioned, however, that while "[p]hysical deprivations can and
do work in ahering the prisoners' mental state to the point where they will say things they
normally would not say," use of physical deprivations has "several major downfalls.,,32 JPRA
warned that physical deprivations were "not as effective" a means of getting information as
psychological pressures, that information gained from their use was "less reliable," and that their
use "tends to increase resistance postures when deprivations are removed.',33 JPRA also warned
that the use of physical deprivations has an "intolerable public and political backlash when
discovered. ,,34

The two psychologists reviewed the materials,_


and generated a paper on al Qaeda resistance capabilities
and countermeasures to defeat that resistance.
.35

_On

February 12,2002, Dr. Jessen sent the paper to JPRA Commander Colonel
John "Randy" Moulton, who in tum, emailed the paper to his chain of command at JFCOM with
a recommendation that it be forwarded to the Joint Stafffor dissemination. 36 In his email, Col
Moulton wrote:
While JPRA is not in the business of strategic debriefmg (interrogation), we do
apply the most sophisticated techniques available in order to better prepare our
[personnel] for resistance. After over 30 years of training we have become quite
proficient with both specialized resistance and the ways to defeat it. 37
_
(
Col Moulton also recommended in his email that a JPRA team travel to
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to "provide instruction on basic and advanced techniques and methods"
that JPRA had found effective in countering resistance in students at SERE courses. 38 Col
Moulton suggested that JPRA create a "short course" to teach relevant U. S; personnel about
"interrogation from the resistance side" notin that JPRA had alread received an informal
request to conduct training for the
whose fersonnel were
supporting interrogation operations at Guantanamo Bay and in Mghanistan. 3 The JPRA
Commander described the potential collaboration between JPRA a n . a s a "win-win
opportunity.,,40
_
(
In a subsequent email to Brigadier General (BG) Galen Jackman, the
Operations Chief at United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), Brigadier General (Brig
Gen) Thomas Moore, JFCOM's Director for Operations and Plans (13), stated that JPRA was
"prepared to support [SOUTHCOM] in any potential collaboration," but that they would not
assist without an official request from SOUTHCOM or GTMO. 41

Colonel Herrington's Assessment ofGTMO (U)

(U) At the time ofthe JPRA memo, GTMO was seeking assistance from other quarters as

well. In March 2002, Commander of Joint Task Force 170 (ITF-170) Major General (MG)
Michael Dunlavey invited Colonel Stuart A. Herrington (Ret.), an experienced Army intelligence
officer, to Guantanamo Bay to conduct an assessment of operations at the facility. 81 Following
his three day assessment visit, COL Herrington submitted a formal written report on March 22,
2002 to MG Dunlavey as well as to the Command at SOUTHCOM and the Army Deputy Chief
of Staff for Intelligence. 82
(U) At the time of COL Herrington's visit, the mission at Guantanamo was under the

control oftwo different task forces, each commanded by a different Major General: ITF-170 for
intelligence exploitation and ITF160 for detention and security operations. s3 COL Herrington
noted in his assessment that there was ''unanimity among all military and interagency
participants in TF-170 that the security mission is sometimes the tail wagging the intelligence
dog" and stated:
To effectively carry out its intelligence exploitation mission, TF 170 and its
interagency collaborators need to be in full control of the detainees' environment.
Treatment, rewards, punishment, and anything else associated with a detainee
should be centrally orchestrated by the debriefing team responsible for obtaining
information from that detainee. 84
(U) COL Herrington also expressed concern that actions (positive or negative) which
guards might take as routine, such as singling a detainee out for a shakedown or providing an
extra chaplain's visit, might impact the ability of interrogators and debriefers from setting the
tone ofthe questioning sessions. 85
(U) COL Herrington found that facilities and procedures at GTMO for handling detainees

posed serious problems. He said that design flaws at GTMO's current and planned detention
sites hampered intelligence collection, noting that the "open" facilities, for example, facilitated
communications among the detainees and discouraged detainee cooperation by permitting
detainees to support each other's resistance efforts. 86

COL Herrington had acquired experience in interrogation and debriefIng during more than thirty years of military
service. Memo from COL Stuart Herrington to MG Michael Dunlavey, Report ofVisit and Recommendations

(U) COL Herrington also warned that certain security procedures in place at the time
could have a negative impact on intelligence collection, stating:

The austere nature ofthe facilities and the rigorous security movement procedures
(shackles, two MPs with hands on the detainee, etc.) reinforces to detainees that
they are in prison, and detracts from the flexibility that debriefers require to
accomplish their mission... These views have nothing to do with being "soft" on
the detainees. Nor do they challenge the pure security gains from such tight
control. The principal at work is that optimal exploitation of a detainee cannot be
done from a cell ... 87
(U) Specifically, COL Herrington recommended that MPs not be in the room during
interrogations and warned that, while shackling a detainee might make sense from a security
standpoint, it could be counterproductive to intelligence collection:

Shackling one of the detainee's feet to the floor during interrogation might make
sense from a security perspective (although, with one or two MPs present, it is
arguable overkill). However, such shackling is either a) humiliating, or b) sends a
message to the detainee that the debriefer is afraid of him, or c) reminds him of
his plight as a prisoner. 88
(U) COL Herrington observed that most of the interrogators at GTMO lacked the
requisite training in strategic elicitation or the experience required to be effective with the
detainees. 89 He said that, ofthe 26 interrogators present at the time, only one had enough Arabic
language experience to interrogate without an interpreter. 9o

JPRA Prepares Draft Exploitation Plan (U)

(U) As experienced intelligence officers were making recommendations to improve


intelligence collection, JPRA officials with no training or experience in intelligence collection
were working on their own exploitation plan. In April 2002, senior SERE psychologist Bruce
Jessen drafted an exploitation plan and circulated that plan to Commander of the JPRA, Col
Randy Moulton, and the senior civilian leadership of the organization. 94

_ T h e exploitation plan drafted by the senior SERE psychologist contained


recommendations for JPRA involvement in the detainee exploitation process at an undisclosed
facility.
The "Exploitation Draft Plan," which was circulated on April 16, 2002,
stated that its objective was to "[h]old, manage and exploit detainees to elicit critical
information.,,9S The Ian 0 osed an "e loitation facility" be established at a
ff limits to non-essential ersonnel
observers.,,9 The Ian also described the fundamentals
_(

'exploitation of select al Qaeda detainees."

_
(
The first option was for JPRA to field, deploy, direct, and sustain an
entire interrogation team. 98 The plan recommended that JPRA not pursue this course stating,
"No - Too much ofa manpower drain and we [JPRA] are not prepared to provide this kind of
support infrastructure.,,99 A second option was for JPRA to field a "lead captivity/ exploitation
expert (JPRA Senior SERE Psychologist) to advise and support" the exploitation process and to

have a "sponsor" provide all other personnel and direct the process. This option was also
rejected as "ineffective," noting that if JPRA could "direct" the exploitation process, there would
bea
"good chance of [JPRA] making a real difference," but "if not," there are "too many other
responsl"b"l"
1 Ittes t 0 expend "." energy on. ,,100
_(

The third option was described as follows:

JPRA fields and deploys core captivity/exploitation team - This team directs the
process under the lead of the JPRA Senior SERE Psychologist and receives all
additional specified support from a sponsor - Those sponsor individuals who
directly assist in the exploitation process will receive training from the JPRA
cadre. 101
_
(
While this option was recommended as the "[b]est match of expertise
and capability," the plan cautioned that JPRA "need[ed] to be careful in establishing this
relationship" and that JPRA should retain ''the authority to direct the entire process or current
mistakes will be repeated (GTMO, lack of experience of in-theater interrogators, ineffective
captivity handling and facility routine) - [The] JPRA plan should be implemented from the start
of detention through holding, transport, and exploitation.,,102

_
Dr. Jessen's draft exploitation plan described the means by which JPRA would
implement that recommendation, and included requirements for an undisclosed exploitation
facility and the means by which detainees would be transported and held there. 103
_
(
A section of Dr. Jessen's draft exploitation plan also identified "Critical
Operational Exploitation Principles" for interrogation operations. Those principles included:

(l'he only restricting factor should be the Torture Convention), [7] Established
latitude and ocess to offer and validate information for concessions

(
When asked about the plan, which his email referred to as "my" plan,
Dr. Jessen said that there are elements that he did not draft. 105 For example, he told the
Committee that he did not believe that the Torture Convention was the only controlling authority
for exploitation Rules of Engagement. 106 Dr. Jessen, however, did not reject the idea of having
JPRA support the exploitation process. Dr. Jessen said that he knew how to set up training
programs, had observed numerous "interrogations" at SERE school, and thought that some JPRA
instructors could make excellent interrogators. 107 He also told the Committee that he supported
having SERE psychologists observe interrogations and provide advice and assistance to
interrogators, but that that he did not support having SERE psychologists in the interrogation
booth with interrogators and detainees.
(U) Upon receiving the plan, JPRA Commander Col Randy Moulton asked Dr. Jessen to
craft a briefmg to ''take up for approval," which included "why we (USG) need it, how it falls
within our chartered responsibilities (or if not, why we should do it) and then make a
recommendation,,108 Col Moulton testified to the Committee that he did not recall any
subsequent JPRA briefmgs for U.S. Joint Forces Command on Dr. Jessen's draft exploitation
plan and did not remember whether or not the plan was implemented. 109

(U) Abu Zubaydah was captured by Pakistani and CIA forces on March 28, 2002.
According to former CIA Director George Tenet, once Zubaydah was in custody, the CIA "got
into holding and interrogating high-value detainees" (HVDs) "in a serious way."uo Then
National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said that "in the spring of2002, CIA sought policy
approval from the National Security Council to begin an interrogation program for high-level al
Qaida terrorists."lll Then-NSC Legal Advisor John Bellinger said that he asked CIA to have the
proposed program reviewed by the Department of Justice and that he asked CIA to seek advice
not only ~om DoJ's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) but also from the Criminal Division. 112 Ms.
Rice said that she asked Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet to briefNSC Principals on
the proposed CIA program and asked Attorney General Ashcroft "personally to review the

interrogation program took place at the White House and that she understood thatDoJ's legal
advice "was being coordinated by Counsel to the President Alberto Gonzales.,,114
(U) According to President Bush, the agency developed an "alternative set" of ,"tough"
interrogation techniques, and put them to use on Zubaydah and other HVDs. 115 Though virtually
all ofthe techniques that were used on Zubaydah remain classified, CIA Director Michael
Hayden confirmed that waterboarding was used on Zubaydah. 116 Assistant Attorney General for
the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) Steven Bradbury testified before Congress that the "CIA's
use ofthe waterboarding procedure was adapted from the SERE training program.,,117 When
asked whether she was present for discussions about physical and/or psychological pressures
used in SERE training, Secretary Rice recalled "being told that U. S. military personnel were
subjected in training to certain physical and psychological interrogation techniques." 118 Mr.
Bellinger, the NSC Legal Advisor, stated that he was "present in meetings at which SERE
training was discussed.,,119
(U) Public reports have identified a retired U.S. Air Force SERE psychologist, Dr. James
Mitchell, as having participated in the CIA's interrogation ofZubaydah. 120 Dr. Mitchell, who
retired from the Air Force in 2001, agreed to speak to the Committee about his time at DoD.

"an alternative set of procedures" in interrogating the detainees. According to the President, the CIA techniques
"were tough, and they were safe, and lawful, and necessary." The President identified Abu Zubaydah as one

(U) The FBI Special Agent told the DoJ Inspector General that he also "raised objections

interrogation, FBI Director Robert Mueller decided that FBI agents would not participate in
interrogations involving techniques the FBI did not normally use in the United States, even
though the OLC had determined such techniques were legal. 134 Then-National Security Advisor

Percival, a JPRA instructor at the training, said that in their demonstration of ph~sical pressures,
JPRA instructor Joseph Witsch acted as the "beater" while he was the "beatee." 53
_
In addition to explaining and demonstrating the physical pressures used at SERE
school, the JPRA personnel also provided instruction on waterboarding. 154
(D) At the time, waterboarding was only used by the U.S. Navy SERE school and its use
was prohibited at the JPRA, Anny, and Air Force SERE schools. 155 The U.S. Navy has since
abandoned its waterboarding at its SERE schools. None ofthe JPRA personnel who provided
the assistance had ever conducted waterboarding and would not have been qualified to do so at
SERE school. 156

were told
they could use all forms of psychological pressure discussed and all of the
physiological pressures with the exception of the 'water board.' They were
advised that should they feel the need to use the water board, they would need
prior approval. They were also briefed on the ramifications for participating in
torture, which under international law is defined as a 'capital crime' and could
result in a death sentence if convicted. An eye opener to say the least. 159

reportedly explaining that "[t]he CIA makes the call internally on most ofthe types of
techniques," but that "[s]ignificantly harsh techniques are approved through the DOJ.,,161
_
In his after action memo f r o m _ training, JPRA instructor Joseph Witsch
stated that ''the training seemed well received and beneficial for the majority ofthe personnel
present.,,162 He observed that some ofthe class participants had "little to no[ ] experience" in
interrogation and others had "recently returned from conducting actual interrogations in
Mghanistan.,,163

III

(
In his memo, Mr. Witsch also commented on JPRA's future support to
interrogations, writing:

I believe our niche lies in the fact that we can provide the ability to exploit
personnel based on how our enemies have done this type of thing over the last
five decades. Our enemies have had limited success with this methodology due to
the extreme dedication of [American] personnel and their harsh and mismanaged
application of technique. The potential exists that we could refine the process to
achieve effective manipulation/exploitation. We must have a process that goes
beyond the old paradigm of military interrogation for tactical information or
criminal investigation for legal proceedings. These methods are far too limited in
scope to deal with the new war on global terrorism.,,164

_
Mr. Witsch recommended that JPRA develop two courses for future JPRA
customers - a basic course and an advanced course to deal with "senior, hardcore, and resistance
trained detainees. ,,165 The courses, he said, will need "immediate attention and will require a
total role reversal from current methodology and our standard approaches to training. It will take
a cross section of SERE experienced personnel-SERE instructors, psychologists, MDs and
intelligence personnel to effectively develop this new approach to captive handling and
manipulation.,,166

this assignment, Dr. Jessen retired from the Department of Defense and began working as an
independent contractor t~ 168

(U) Dr. Jessen did tell the Committee that, in some circumstances, physically coercive
techniques are appropriate for use in detainee interrogations. He said that the use of physically
coercive techniques may be appropriate when (1) there is good reason to believe that the
individual has perishable intelligence, (2) the techniques are lawful and authorized, (3) they are
carefully controlled with medical and psychological oversight, (4) someone (who is not
otherwise involved in the interrogation) can stop the use ofthe techniques, and (5) the techniques
do not cause long-term physical or psychological harm. 170 Dr. Jessen acknowledged that
empirically, it is not possible to know the effect of a technique used on a detainee in the long
term, unless you study the effects in the long-term. However, he said that his conclusion about
the long-term effects of physically coercive techniques was based on forty years oftheir use at
SERE school. 171
(U) Subsequent to his retirement from DoD, Dr. Jessen joined Dr. Mitchell and other
former JPRA officials to form a company called Mitchell Jessen & Associates. Mitchell Jessen
& Associates is co-owned by seven individuals, six of whom either worked for JPRA or one of
the service SERE schools as employees and/or contractors. I72 As of July 2007, the company had
between 55 and 60 employees, several of whom were former JPRA employees. 173

the request after several conversations with General Counsel Jim Haynes. 175 Mr. Shiffiin later
said that everything he asked for from JPRA was to respond to requests from Mr. Haynes. 176 Mr.
Haynes testified to the Committee that he could not remember "specifically" asking Mr. Shiffiin
for infonnation on SERE techniques, but that he "asked generally" about that subject sometime
in the summer of2002. He also said that he remembered being "interested" in that infonnation,
and that ifhe had requested it, he would have requested it through Mr. Shiffrin. 177 Although Mr.
Haynes did not say why he was interested in this infonnation, when asked whether he had
discussed "SERE techniques with [] Messrs. Gonzales, Addington, Rizzo, Y 00, or any ofthe
other senior lawyers" he met with "regularly," Mr. Haynes testified to the Committee that he
"did discuss SERE techniques with other people in the administration. ,,178
(U) JPRA Chief of Staff Lt Col Daniel Baumgartner said that when the request from the
General Counsel's office came in, he called Col Moulton and Brig Gen Thomas Moore, the
JFCOM Director for Operations (13), and received pennission to provide the requested
infonnation to the General Counsel's office. 179 JPRA initially responded to the General
Counsel's inquiry on July 25,2002 with a memorandum signed by Lt Col Baumgartner. 180

II

(
The JPRA memorandum stated that "JPRA has arguably developed into the
DoD's experts on exploitation." It continued:
Recognizing the typical training for strategic debriefers in the intelligence
community did not include either SERE training (as a student) or grounding in
exploitation strategy and associated interrogation techniques, JPRA offered
assistance to intelli ence or anizations char ed with interviewin
detainees. JPRA
will brief the Criminal Investigative Task
Force (CITF) next Tuesday to determine their requirements. 181

The enclosed documents provide a thorough academic grounding in exploitation


and were built on what has been effective against Americans in the past. The
ability to exploit, however, is a highly specialized skill set built on training and
experience.
JPRA will continue to offer exploitation assistance to those
governmental organizations charged with the mission of gleaning intelligence
from enemy detainees. 183
(U) The memorandum and its attachments were delivered to the Deputy General Counsel
Richard Shiffrin by a JPRA employee and were emailed to relevant personnel at both JPRA and
Brig Gen Moore's office at JFCOM. I84 DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes did not recall whether
or not he saw the memo at the time, but said that "in all likelihood," he would have received the
memo, and that the timing ofthe memo coincided with his recollection of his meeting with JPRA
personnel. 18S
(U) According to Lt Col Baumgartner, prior to the July 25, 2002 memo being delivered
to the General Counsel's office, Mr. Shiffrin called him to ask for additional information,
including a list of techniques used by JPRA at SERE school. Mr. Shiffrin testified to the
Committee that he was ''under pressure" from Mr. Haynes to get the material to his office as
. k1 Y as pOSSI'bl e. 186
qUlC
(U) Lt Col Baumgartner said that he thought the General Counsel's office was asking for
information on exploitation and physical pressures to use them in interrogations. Mr. Shiffrin
confirmed that one ofthe ~urposes for seeking information from JPRA was to "reverse
engineer" the techniques. 1 7 Lt Col Baumgartner said that he wanted to be helpful, but that he
told Mr. Shiffrin that JPRA's techniques were designed to show Americans the worst possible
treatment that they may face, and that any recommendation for the use oftechniques on
detainees would require Administration approval. 188
(U) On July 26, 2002, JPRA completed a second memorandum with three attachments to
respond to the additional questions from the General Counsel's office. The memo stated that
"JPRA has arguably developed into the DoD's experts on exploitation and as such, has
developed a number of physical pressures to increase the psychological and physical stress on
students ... ,,189

In the memo, JPRA informed the General Counsel's office that it had
already "assist[ed] in the training of interrogator/exploiters from other governmental agencies
charged with OEF exploitation of enemy detainees.,,190 The memo also stated:
Within JPRA's evolving curriculum to train interrogators/exploiters many
interrogation approaches are taught along with corresponding options for physical
pressures to enhance the psychological setting for detainee interrogation. Several
of the techniques highlighted (Atch 1) as training tools in JPRA courses, used by
other SERE schools, and used historically may be very effective in inducing
learned helplessness and 'breaking' the OEF detainees' will to resist.,,191
(
The ftrst attachment to the July 26,2002 memo was'''Physical Pressures used in
Resistance Training and Against American Prisoners and Detainees.,,192 That attachment
included a list oftechniques used to train students at SERE school to resist interrogation. The
list included techniques such as the facial slap, walling, the abdomen slap, use of water, the
attention grasp, and stress positions. 193 The ftrst attachment also listed techniques used by some
ofthe service SERE schools, such as use of smoke, shaking and manhandling, cramped
conftnement, immersion in water or wetting down, and waterboarding.
(
JPRA's description ofthe waterboarding technique provided in that ftrst
attachment was inconsistent in key respects from the U.S. Navy SERE school's description of
waterboarding. According to the Navy SERE school's operating instructions, for example, while
administering the technique, the Navy limited the amount of water poured on a student's face to
two pints. However, the JPRA attachment said that "up to 1.5 gallons of water" may be poured
onto a "subject's face." While the Navy's operating instructions dictated that "[n]o effort will be
made to direct the stream of water into the student's nostrils or mouth," the description provided
by JPRA contained no such limitation for subjects ofthe technique. While the Navy limited the
use ofthe cloth on a student's face to twenty seconds, the JPRA's description said only that the
cloth should remain in place for a "short period oftime." And while the Navy restricted anyone
from placing pressure on the chest or stomach during the administration ofthis technique,
JPRA's description included no such limitation for sQbjects ofthe technique. 194
(
Attachment one also listed tactics derived from JPRA SERE school lesson plans
that were designed to "induce control, dependency, complia[n]ce, and cooperation," including
isolation or solitary conftnement, induced physical weakness and exhaustion, degradation,

(U) DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes told the Committee that although he could not
recall ifhe had seen the specific list of SERE physical pressures sent to his office on July 26,
2002, he knew that he had seen a list of physical pressures used in JPRA resistance training. 196

II Mr. Haynes also recalled that he may have been "asked that information be given to
the Justice Department for something they were working on," which he said related to a program
he was not free to discuss with the Committee, even in a classified setting. 197
(U) A second attachment to the July 26, 2002 JPRA memo to the General Counsel's
office was entitled "Operational Issues Pertaining to the use of Physical/Psychological Coercion
in Interrogation.,,198 In attachment two, JPRA stated that the memo did not purport to address
the "myriad legal, ethical, or moral implications oftorture; rather, [the memo focused onJ the key
operational considerations relative to the use of physical and psychological pressures.,,19
(U) Attachment two described operational risks associated with using "physical and/or
psychological duress" (a phrase that JPRA used interchangeably with ''torture'' throughout most
of attachment two) in interrogations. 20o The attachment said that one risk was that the use of
these methods would increase the "prisoner's level of resolve to resist cooperating.,,201 JPRA
explained that "[0 ]nce any means of duress has been purposefully applied to the prisoner, the
formerly cooperative relationship cannot be reestablished. In addition, the prisoner's level of
resolve to resist cooperating with the interrogator will likely be increased as a result of harsh or
brutal treatment. ,,202
(U) According to attachment two, another risk to using techniques that increase physical
and psychological duress was that it created doubts about the reliability and accuracy of
information obtained. 203 JPRA explained in attachment two that "[i]f an interrogator produces
information that resulted from the application of physical and psychological duress, the
reliability and accuracy ofthis information is in doubt. In other words, a subject in extreme pain
may provide an answer, any answer, or many answers in order to get the pain to stop." 204

(U) A third operational risk was the potential impact that the physical and psychological
duress could have on treatment of US. personnel. 205 JPRA explained in attachment two that:

Another important aspect of the debate over the use of torture is the consideration
of its potential impact on the safety of US. personnel captured by current and
future adversaries. The unintended consequence of a US. policy that provides for
the torture of prisoners is that it could be used by our adversaries as justification
for the torture of captured US. personnel. While this would have little impact on
those regimes or organizations that already employ torture as a standard means of
operating, it could serve as the critical impetus for those that are currently
weighing the potential gains and risks associated with the torture of US. persons
to accept torture as an acceptable option. 206
(U) The third attachment to JPRA's July 26, 2002 memo was a memo from the Chief of
Psychology Services at the Air Force SERE school, Jerald Ogrisseg, on the "Psychological
Effects of Resistance Training.,,207 That memorandum, which was generated in response to a
specific request from the General Counsel's office, described available evidence on the long
term psychological effects of Air Force SERE training on US. personnel and commented from a
psychological perspective on the effects ofusing the waterboard.
(U) JPRA Chief of Staff Daniel Baumgartner said that when the General Counsel's office
requested a memo on the psychological effects ofresistance training, he called Dr. Ogrisseg at
the Department ofthe Air Force's Air Education and Training Command. 208 Dr. Ogrisseg said
that Lt Col Baumgartner asked his opinion during the phone call about his thoughts on
waterboarding the enemy.209 Dr. Ogrisseg recalled asking, "wouldn't that be illegal?,,210
According to Dr. Ogrisseg, Lt Col Baumgartner replied that people were asking "from above"
about using waterboarding in real world interrogations. 211 Dr. Ogrisseg recalled telling Lt Col
Baumgartner, "aside from being illegal, it was a completely different arena that we in the
Survival School didn't know anything about." 212
(U) Subsequent to that call, Dr. Ogrisseg reviewed the data on the effects of Air Force
SERE resistance training on students and produced his memo, concluding that "ifthere are any
long-term psychological effects of [US. Air Force Resistance Training], they are certainly

minimal." 213 The memo attributed this conclusion to efforts the Air Force SERE program
undertook to minimize the risk oftemporary psychological effects ofresistance training
becoming long-term effects. 214 The Air Force minimized the risk by, among other things,
performing three extensive debriefings during training. Dr. Ogrisseg said that "affording
students these opportunities to discuss their training experiences in open group environments
mitigates the risk ofturning a 'dramatic' experience into a 'traumatic' experience." 215 He told
the Committee that there are numerous controls in place at SERE school to ensure that the
training does not become "traumatic" for its students. 216
(U) Dr. Ogrisseg said that Lt Col Baumgartner also asked him "to comment on both the
physical and psychological effects of the waterboard," which he described in his memo as an
"intense physical and psychological stressor" used at the U.S. Navy SERE school. 217 Although
Dr. Ogrisseg had not used the waterboard himself, he had observed its use in a visit to the Navy
SERE School. He stated that, based on that visit, he did not believe that the ''waterIJ board
posed a real and serious physical danger to the students" who experienced it at the SERE school,
stating that the "Navy had highly qualified medical personnel immediately available to intervene,
and their students had all been medically screened prior to training. Psychologically, however,
the water[] board broke the students' will to resist providing information and induced
helplessness." 218
.
(U) Dr. Ogrisseg said that he was surprised when he found out later that Lt Col
Baumgartner had forwarded his memo to the General Counsel's office along with a list ofthe
physical and psychological techniques used in SERE school. 219 Dr. Ogrisseg said that his
analysis was produced with students in mind, not detainees. He stated that the conclusions in his
memo were not applicable to the offensive use of SERE techniques against real world detainees
and he would not stand by the conclusions in his memo if they were applied to the use of SERE
resistance training techniques on detainees.
(U) In a written response to a question posed by Senator Carl Levin after the

Committee's June 17,2008 hearing, Dr. Ogrisseg elaborated on that point noting several
"important differences between SERE school and real world interrogations that would limit [the]

conclusions [in his memo] to the SERE school training population." 220 Among those differences
Dr. Ogrisseg identified were (1) the extensive physical and psychological pre-screening
processes for SERE school students that are not feasible for detainees, (2) the variance in injuries
between a SERE school student who enters training and a detainee who arrives at an
interrogation facility after capture, (3) the limited risk of SERE instructors mistreating their own
personnel, especially with extensive oversight mechanisms in place, compared to the risk of
interrogators mistreating non-country personnel, (4) the voluntary nature of SERE training,
which can be terminated by a student at any time, compared to the involuntary nature of being a
detainee, (6) the limited duration of SERE training, which has a known starting and ending point,
compared to the often lengthy, and unknown, period of detention for a detainee, and (7) the
underlying goals of SERE school (to help students learn from and benefit from their training)
and the mechanisms in place to ensure that students reach those goals compared to the goal of
interrogation (to elicit information).
(U) In addition, Dr. Ogrisseg also stated that, since writing his memo in July 2002, he had
reviewed studies about the effects of near death experiences, and that he had become concerned
about the use of waterboarding even as a training tool. 221 The U.S. Navy SERE school
abandoned its use ofthe waterboard in November 2007.

(U) Lt Col Baumgartner testified to the Committee that, subsequent to sending his two
memos and their attachments - including the list of SERE techniques - to the General Counsel's
office, another government agency asked for the same information. Lt Col Baumgartner said
that he provided that information to the OGA. 222

The Department ofJustice Changes the Rules (U)

(U) On August 1,2002, less than a week after JPRA sent the DoD General Counsel's
Office its memoranda and attachments, the Department of Justice issued two legal opinions
signed by then-Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) Jay Bybee.
(U) Before drafting the August 1,2002 opinions, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for
the OLC John Y 00 had met with Counsel to the President Alberto Gonzales and Counsel to the
Vice-President David Addington to discuss the subjects that he intended to address. 224 Then
Dr. Ogrisseg also explained that "[w]hile long-term psychological harm can occur from relatively brief
distressing experiences, the likelihood of psychological harm is generally increased by more lengthy and uncertain
detentions." Responses of Dr. Jerald Ogrisseg to Questions for the Record (July 28, 2008).

National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said that she understood that the Department of
Justice's legal advice to the CIA "was being coordinated by Counsel to the President Alberto
Gonzales.,,225
(U) The first ofthe two August 1,2002 OLC memoranda, known to many as the "First
Bybee" memo, presented OLC's narrow interpretation of what constituted torture under U.S.
law. The memo stated that the federal anti-torture statute of 1994 prohibited "only extreme acts"
and that in order to constitute torture, physical pain would have to be equivalent in intensity to
that accompanying "serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily
functions or even death.,,226 For mental pain to rise to the level oftorture, according to the
memo, it would have to result in "si~flcant psychological harm of significant duration, e.g.,
lasting for months or even years.,,22 The First Bybee memo also found that the federal anti
torture statute may not be applicable to interrogations ordered by the President ifhe acted
pursuant to his Constitutional commander-in-chief powers. Further, the memo argued that even
if the federal anti-torture statute could be construed to apply to such interrogations, the defenses
of necessity and self-defense could potentially eliminate criminal liability under the statute. 228
(U) The First Bybee memo also effectively dispensed with the "specific intent"
requirement of the federal anti-torture statute by narrowly defining that requirement. The federal
anti-torture statute states that, in order to constitute torture, an act must be "specifically intended
to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering.,,229 The First Bybee memo stated that in
order "for a defendant to have acted with specific intent, he must expressly intend to achieve the
forbidden act.,,230 Under that interpretation, to violate the law, a person must expressly intend to
commit torture and the memo stated that "knowledge alone that a particular result is certain to
occur does not constitute specific intent."

regularly - which Mr. Addington said was referred to as the "War COWlcil" by Mr. Haynes - also included OLC
lawyers John Yoo and Tim Flanigan. According to Mr. Addington, the group of lawyers met about a "range of
issues," including interrogation of enemy combatants in the war on terror. When Mr. Haynes was asked whether he
had discussed "SERE techniques with [] Messrs. Gonzales, Addington, Rizzo, Y00, or any of the other senior
lawyers" he met with "regularly," Mr. Haynes testified to the Committee that he "did discuss SERE techniques with
other people in the administration." These conversations occurred prior to the Decem her 2, 2002 approval of
aggressive interrogation techniques, including those derived from SERE, by the Secretary of Defense. See From the

(U) Jack Goldsmith, who succeeded Jay Bybee as Assistant Attorney General of the OLC
in 2003, described the First Bybee memo's conclusions and their effect:

[V]iolent acts aren't necessarily torture; if you do torture, you probably have a
defense; and even if you don't have a defense, the torture law doesn't apply if you
act under color of presidential authority. CIA interrogators and their supervisors,
under pressure to get information about the next attack, viewed the opinion as a
'golden shield,' as one CIA official later called it, that provided enormous
comfort. 231
(U) The second August 1,2002 OLC legal opinion was also signed by Assistant Attorney
General Jay Bybee. 232 According to a declaration made to the United States District Court for
the Southern District ofNew York. by the Information Review Officer for the CIA, the so-called
"Second Bybee" memo is an I8-page legal memorandum from the OLC to the Office of General
Counsel ofthe CIA containing "information relating to the CIA's terrorist detention and
interrogation program" and "advice to' the CIA regarding potential interrogation methods." 233
According to the filing, the CIA requested the legal guidance from the Department of Justice. 234
A February 1, 2005 letter from the Justice Department to Senator Arlen Specter, then-Chairman
ofthe Senate Judiciary Committee, stated that the Second Bybee memo gave the CIA "specific
advice concerning specific interrogation practices, concluding that they are lawful." 235 And the
unclassified report of the Department ofJustice Inspector General explained that the opinion
analyzed "specific techniques approved for use on Zubaydah includ[ing] waterboarding ... ,,236

that he "expressed concern that the proposed CIA interrogation techniques comply with
applicable u.s. law, including our international obligations. 238
(U) The Committee has been denied the Second Bybee memo and does not know which
specific interrogation practices, other than waterboarding, were analyzed in the memo. A
heavily redacted version ofthe Second Bybee memo, released on July 24, 2008, provides no
further details about the specific interrogation practices that were analyzed by the OLC. 239 The
unredacted sections only make clear that the OLC applied its analysis in the First Bybee memo to
240
a set of (redacted) facts at issue in the Second Bybee memo.
And while public sources have
suggested that the OLC's analysis applied to Zubaydah, then-Deputy Assistant Attorney General
John Yoo suggested in recent testimony that it "perhaps" applied to others "similarly situated.,,241
(U) According to Acting CIA General Counsel John Rizzo, the techniques that the OLC
analyzed in the Second Bybee memo were provided by his office. In his testimony before the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Mr. Rizzo stated that his office was "the vehicle" for
getting the interrogation practices analyzed in the Second Bybee memo to the Department of

government interest in that subject, but that he did not know if that information was used as
support in any OLC legal analysis, and ifhe did know, he did not recall. 245
(U) Then-NSC Legal Advisor John Bellinger said that some ofthe legal analysis of
proposed interrogation techniques prepared by the DeEartment of Justice referred to ''the
psychological effects of military resistance training." 46 In fact, Jay Bybee, the Assistant
Attorney General who signed the two August 1,2002 opinions, said that he saw an assessment of
the psychological effects of military resistance training in July 2002 in meetings in his office
with John Y 00 and two other OLC attorneys. Judge Bybee said the assessment - which to the
best of his recollection had been provided by the CIA - informed the August 1, 2002 OLC legal
opinion that has not been released publicly.247 In his June 26, 2008 testimony before the House
Judiciary Committee, John Y00 refused to say whether or not he ever discussed or received
information about SERE techniques as the August 1, 2002 memos were being drafted. 248
(U) While Judge Bybee said that he did not recall "any written advice provided to any
governmental agency prior to August 1, 2002, on the meaning of the standards of conduct
required for interrogation under the federal anti-torture statute or on specific interrogation
methods," the August 1,2002 memos were not the only occasion on which DOJ provided legal
advice on the CIA's interrogation program. 249 John Bellinger, the NSC Legal Advisor, said that
he understood that in 2002 and 2003, the OLC provided "ongoing advice to CIA regarding CIA's
interrogation program.,,250 And then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said that she
was present at "several" meetings in the White House at which Mr. Yoo provided legal advice. 251
Ms. Rice said that she asked Attorney General John Ashcroft "personally to review and confIrm"

Guantanarno Bay as a "Battle Lab" for New Interrogation Techniques (U)

JPRA was also developing a plan to support Department of Defense


interrogation operations at Guantanamo Bay (GTMO). In the summer of 2002, following a
request from the Army's Special Operations Command (USASOC) to develop a training ~men
for GTMO interrogation personnel, JPRA modified the training plan it had developed for
to produce a plan to train the GTMO personnel. In September, JPRA sent a team of
_
instructors, ~two instructors who had discussed and demonstrated SERE physical
pressures to_ _ officers in July, to Fort Bragg, North Carolina to provide instruction at a
four day conference attended by the GTMO personnel.

(U) Just weeks after the JPRA training at Fort Bragg, two GTMO personnel who attended
the Fort Bragg training drafted a memo proposing the use of physical and psychological
pressures in interrogations at GTMO, including some pressures used at SERE schools to teach
U.S. soldiers how to resist interrogation by enemies that do not follow the Geneva Conventions.
(U) On October 11,2002, Major General Michael Dunlavey, Commander ofGTMO's

Joint Task Force 170 (JTF-170), submitted a modified version ofthat memo for approval by his

Chain of Command. On December 2,2002, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld approved many of

those techniques for use in interrogations at GTMO.

In a written statement provided to the

Committee, MAJ Burney described the assignment:


Three of us;
[the enlisted psychiatric technician], and I, were
hijacked and immediately in processed into Joint Task Force 170, the military
intelligence command on the island. It turns out we were assigned to the
interrogation element because Joint Task Force 170 had authorizations for a
psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a psychiatric technician on its duty roster but
nobody had been deployed to fill these positions. Nobody really knew what we
were supposed to do for the unit, but at least the duty roster had its positions
filled. 27,
(U) MG Dunlavey told the Committee that he was in the hospital for much ofthe month

of June and did not know who initiated the creation of the ITF-170 BSCT. 276

(U) Prior to their arrival at GTMO, neither MAJ Burney n~ had any training
to support interrogations and there was no standard operating procedure in place for the team at
GTMO. 277 MAJ Burney told the Committee that the team was "very aware of how little we
knew about the whole spectrum of detention and interrogation, we decided we needed help.278

A standard operating procedure was drafted in November 2002, several months after the BSCT was
established. It described BSCT tasks including: consulting on interrogation approach techniques, conducting
detainee file reviews to construct personality profiles and provide recommendations for interrogation strategies;
observing interrogations and providing feedback to interrogators on detainee behavior, flow of the interrogation
process, translator and cultural issues and possible strategies for further interrogation; and providing
consultation/training on specific behavioral science interviewing and observational techniques that promote
productive interrogation. The November SOP also stated that the BSCT "does not conduct medical evaluation or
treatment of detainees and does not participate in determining medical treatment protocols for detainees." While the
Committee does not know whether the SOP was ever approved, it comports with what BSCT members told the
Committee about their activities. J1F GTMO-BSCT Memoran~ord,BSCT Standard Operating

II LTC Banks told the Committee that it was apparent to him that the BSCT28olacked the

LTC
proper training for the mission and that, when asked to help, he felt obliged to assist.
Banks contacted the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) for assistance in organizing
training for the BSCT. 281 After speaking to Col Moulton, the JPRA Commander, LTC Banks
informed the BSCT that JPRA was willing to modify its prior
interrogation
282
training sessions to suit the BSCT's needs.

(U) BSCT members told the Committee that they sought the training to better understand
the interrogation process. 283 They also told the Committee, however, that GTMO's Director for
Intelligence (J-2), LTC Jerald Phifer, approved their trip with the expectation that the BSCT
would learn about and bring back interrogation techniques that could be considered for use in
interrogations at GTMO; a point that the LTC Phifer confirmed in his testimony to the
Department ofthe Army Inspector General (Army IG).284 The Staff Judge Advocate at GTMO,
LTC Diane Beaver, confmned LTC Phifer's account, but said that MG Dunlavey told staffhe
had been considering a request for authority to use additional interrogation techniques and that
MG Dunlavey'S purpose in sending the staffto the training was to "fmd out what could be
used.,,28s
(U) MAJ Burney said that he a n d _ made LTC Banks "aware that there was
interest within JTF-170 to see if we could use' SERE tactics' to try to elicit information from
detainees.,,286 _ t o l d the Committee that he believed that the two discussed the GTMO
command's interest in obtaining a list ofresistance training techniques with LTC Banks. 287 The
JPRA Operational Support Office Chief Christopher Wirts, told the Committee that he believed
that he and LTC Banks also talked about the need to demonstrate physical pressures used in
SERE schools at the Fort Bragg training. 288 LTC Banks, however, told the Committee that he
did not recall a discussion of physical pressures at the training and that he was surprised when he
later learned that the BSCT had expected to become familiar with resistance training techniques
used in SERE school while at the training session. 289

(D) At the time, there was a view by some at GTMO that interrogation operations had not
yielded the anticipated intelligence,29O MAl Burney testified to the Army IG regarding
interrogations:

[T]his is my opinion, even though they were giving information and some of it was
useful, while we were there a large part ofthe time we were focused on trying to establish
a link between AI Qaeda and Iraq and we were not being successful in establishing a link
between AI Qaeda and Iraq. The more frustrated people got in not being able to establish
this link .. , there was more and more pressure to resort to measures that might produce

_The

GTMO Interrogation Control Element (ICE) Chief, David Becker told the
Committee that at one oint interro ation personnel were required to question
but that he was unaware ofthe source of that
requirement. 292 Others involved in IfF -170 interrogation operations agreed that there was
pressure on interrogation personnel to produce intelligence, but did not recall pressure to identify
links between Iraq and al Qaeda. 293
(
Mr. Becker told the Committee that during the summer of 2002, the IfF -170
Commander, MG Dunlavey, and his Director for Intelligence (J-2), LTC Phifer, had urged him
to be more aggressive in interrogations. 294 Mr. Becker also told the Committee that MG
Dunlavey and LTC Phifer repeatedly asked him during this period why he was not using stress
positions in interrogations, even though the August 2002 Standard Operating Procedure for IfF
170 expressly prohibited the use ofthe technique. 295 MG Dunlavey told the Committee that he
did not recall asking his staff why they were not using stress positions or telling them that they
should be more aggressive. 296

Mr. Becker also told the Committee that, on several occasions, MG Dunlavey had
advised him that the office of Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz had called to express
concerns about the insufficient intelligence production at GTMO. 297 Mr. Becker recalled MG
Dunlavey telling him after one ofthese calls, that the Deputy Secretary himself said that GTMO

U.S. Southern Command Seeks External Review ofGTMO (U)

II Just as the JTF-170 BSCT was reaching out to LTC Banks for assistance,
SOUTHCOM was looking for advice to improve GTMO operations. In June 2002, Major
General Gary Speer, the Acting Commander of SOUTHCOM, requested that the Joint Staff
conduct an external review of intelligence collection operations at Guantanamo Bay.300 In
response, the Joint Staff directed COL John P. Custer, then-assistant commandant of the U.S.
Army Intelligence Center and School at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona, to lead a review team.
COL Custer's team visited GTMO in August and submitted its findings to the Joint
Staff on September 10,2002. 301 Like COL Herrington's assessment six months earlier, the

written guidance "delineating what tools and measures are available and permissible to leverage
control over the detainees while providing acceptable guidelines for questioning.,,304 He also
recommended combining the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and the JTF-170 BSCT to use both
military and law enforcement approaches to create an environment that would be "conducive to
extracting information by exploiting the detainee's vulnerabilities.,,305

In his report, COL Custer referred to GTMO as "America's 'Battle Lab'" in the
global war on terror, observing that "our nation faces an entirely new threat framework," which
must be met by an investment of both human capital and infrastructure. 306
(U) Several witnesses expressed concerns to the Committee about using the term "Battle
Lab" to describe operations at GTMO. 307 In written answers to questionnaires from Senator Carl
Levin, COL Britt Mallow, the Commander of the Criminal Investigative Task Force (CITF),
stated:

MG Dunlavey and later MG Miller referred to GTMO as a "Battle Lab" meaning


that interrogations and other procedures there were to some degree experimental,
and their lessons would benefit DOD in other places. While this was logical in
terms of learning lessons, I personally objected to the implied philosophy that
interrogators should experiment with untested methods, particularly those in
which they were not trained. 308
(U) CITF's Deputy Commander, Mark Fallon, echoed the CITF Commander's concern.
Mr. Fallon stated that CITF did not concur with the Battle Lab concept because the task force
"did not advocate the application ofunproven techniques on individuals who were awaiting
trials.,,309 He emphasized that the CITF position was that "there were many risks associated with
this concept ... and the perception that detainees were used for some'experimentation' of new
unproven techniques had negative connotations.,,310
(U) MG Dunlavey told the Committee he did not think he would have used the term to
describe GTMO. 311 MG Miller told the Committee that he did not recall using the term and that
it would be inappropriate to apply it to an operational unit. 312

GTMO Personnel Attend Training at Fort Bragg (U)

(U) On September 16,2002, less than a week after COL Custer submitted his report to
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, seven personnel from JTF -170 at GTMO, including three members of
the BSCT and four interrogators, arrived at Fort Bragg for training organized by LTC Banks and

Command (JFCOM) was formally notified on September 5, 2002 that JPRA intended to provide
training support to Army psychologists, but did not mention Guantanamo Bay or interrogation. 314
(U) JPRA sent senior SERE psychologist Gary Percival, who had recently assumed that
position after Dr. Jessen's departure, and two instructors to conduct the training at Fort Bragg.

II Dr. Percival and one ofthe two trainers, Joseph Witsch, had been instructors at the
exploitation training f o r . in July, where they had discussed and demonstrated physical
pressures. 315 In testimony before the Committee, the other JPRA trainer, Terrence Russell,
stated that the team had designed the training to provide attendees a "familiarization with the
academic or the theoretical application of exploitation from a SERE perspective.,,316 A
contemporaneous email from JPRA Operational Support Office (OSO) Chief Christopher Wirts,
who was involved in planning the training, explained that it was intended to be "similar in nature

The presentation on countenneasures to defeat al Qaeda resistance also
explained that "[i]fthe prisoner believes that Americans are immoral barbarians and what he sees
counters those beliefs then his core beliefs have been shaken and he is more likely to cooperate..
. . If his core beliefs are reinforced by his treatment he is more likely to stick to his resistance.,,333
Mr. Witsch told the Committee that it was "hard to say" what the effect 0
would have on a detainee's resistance - whether it would make the detainee more or
less likely to cooperate. 334
(U) In his testimony to the Army IG, MAl Burney, the GTMO BSCT psychiatrist who
attended the training, stated that JPRA personnel at Fort Bragg, "described some of the stuffthat
they would do in SERE school as far as keeping people in some sort of solitary confinement for a
period of time" or "finding out what their fears were before they came so that they would try and
use those against them, whether it was fear of spiders, of the dark or whatever...,,335 An
interrogator from GTMO who attended the training also recalled a discussion about the use of
phobias. 336

II (

Members ofthe GTMO BSCT who attended the Fort Bragg training
recalled discussions with the JPRA instructors about how they administered physical
pressures. 337 MAl Burney told the Committee that instructors talked about techniques the SERE
schools used to teach resistance to interrogation, such as walling, and exposing students to cold
until they shiver. 338 _ t o l d the Committee that hooding and hitting in a way that was not
injurious were both mentioned at Fort Bragg. 339 An interrogator from JTF-170 who attended the
training also recalled a discussion about the use of physical pressures. 340

at GTMO to enhance interrogations. 341 For example, the interrogator told the Committee that

GTMO for security, could enhance detainee exploitation. Similarly, the interrogator said that the
instructors pointed out that hoods, goggles, and ear muffs were already in use with detainees at
GTMO for security purposes, and that existing processes utilizing those techniques could also be
used to enhance interrogations. The interrogator also recalled requesting additional JPRA
training for GTMO personnel on the use of physical pressures.
(U) Neither LTC Banks nor any ofthe JPRA instructors from the Fort Bragg training
could recall if there were discussions of physical pressures. 342 LTC Banks told the Committee
that using physical pressures desiFed for students at SERE school in actual interrogations would
almost always be unproductive. 34 For example, he told the Committee that slapping a person
would harden their resistance.
(U) Despite the apparent instruction on physical pressures, MAJ Burney told the Army
IG that instructors at Fort Bragg believed that the techniques used in SERE training should not
be brought back for use at GTMO and that "interrogation tactics that rely on physical pressures
or torture, while they do get you information, do not tend to get you accurate information or
reliable information.,,344 In a written statement provided to the Committee, MAJ Burney
reiterated that point, stating that "[i]t was stressed time and time again that psychological
investigations have proven that harsh interrogations do not work. At best it will get you
information that a prisoner thinks you want to hear to make the interrogation stop, but that
information is strongly likely to be false.,,34s

II (

During the Fort Bragg training, the GTMO personnel also discussed
conditions at GTMO that they felt were hampering intelligence collection efforts. In his after
action report summarizing the training, JPRA instructor and trainin Team Chief Jos h Witsch
described some of those conditions statin for exa Ie that
,346 Mr. Witsch also stated in his after action report that "[a] lot of interrogation
techniques used in the past are no longer effective against the individual detainees because they
have developed an awareness and countermeasures to deal with them.,,347 Mr. Witsch added that
some ofthe interrogators had become "frustrated over the controls placed on their ability to
extract actionable information," such as restrictions on bringing detainees together in a room to
confront inconsistencies or on interrogating detainees for "12-15-20 hours at a time.,,348 While
Mr. Witsch noted that rapport building had proved to be the most effective interrogation
technique in eliciting information and that the positive treatment of detainees at GTMO was

(
In his after action report, Mr. Witsch expressed concerns about JPRA
involvement in GTMO operations, writing:
I highly recommend we continue to remain in an advisory role and not get directly
involved in the actual operations - GITMO in particular. We have no actual
experience in real world prisoner handling. The concepts we are most familiar
with relate to our past enemies and we have developed our Code of Conduct
procedures based on those experiences. Without actual experience with current
[Designated Unlawful Combatants] we are making the assumption that
procedures we use to exploit our personnel will be effective against the current
detainees. 350
(
A week later, Mr. Witsch prepared a follow up memo for Mr. Wirts, JPRA's
OSO chief, expressing concern about lPRA's involvement with detainee exploitation, stating:
What do we bring to the table? We are Code of Conduct instructors with a vast
amount of experience training highly intelligent, disciplined, and motivated DoD
personnel to resist captivity... We base our role-play laboratories on what we
know our fonner enemies have done to our personnel in captivity. It is based on
illegal exploitation (under the rules listed in the 1949 Geneva Convention
Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War) of prisoners over the last 50
years...
_(

Mr. Witsch continued:

I believe the techniques and tactics that we use in training have applicability.
What I am wrestling with is the implications of using these tactics as it relates to
current legal constraints, the totally different motivations of the detainees, and the
lack of direction of senior leadership within the [U.S. Government] on how to
unifonnly treat detainees.
I think we are well within our sphere of influence if we stick to providing
methods to counter resistance trained [Designated Unlawful Combatants]. We are
out of our sphere when we begin to profess the proper ways to exploit these
detainees. We are now attempting to educate lower level personnel in DoD and
OGAs with concepts and principles that are somewhat foreign to them and while
it all sounds good they are not in a position nor do they have the depth of
knowledge in these matters to effect change and do it in reasonable safety.
The handling of [Designated Unlawful Combatants] is a screwed up mess and
everyone is scrambling to unscrew the mess ... If we want a more profound role in
this effort we need to sell our capabilities to the top level people in the USG and

not spend our time trying to motivate the operators at the lower levels to sway
their bosses. This is running the train backwards and that is a slow method to get
somewhere. There are a lot of people in the USG intelligence community that
still believe in the old paradigm and wonder just what we're doing in their

Delegation ofSenior Government Lawyers VISits Guantanamo (U)

(U) On September 25, 2002, less than a week after GTMO personnel returned from the
training at Fort Bragg, Counsel to the President Alberto Gonzales, Counsel to the Vice President
David Addington, DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes, Acting CIA General Counsel John Rizzo,
Assistant Attorney General ofthe Criminal Division Michael Chertoff, and other senior
administration officials travelled to Guantanamo Bay and were briefed on future plans for
detention facilities as well as on intelligence successes, failures, and problems at the JTF. 353

II(
According to a trip report prepared by a Deputy Staff Judge Advocate at
SOOUTHCOM, MG Dunlavey held private conversations with Mr. Haynes and a few others and
briefed the entire group on a number of issues including "policy constraints" affecting
interrogations at the JTF. 354 For example, MG Dunlavey told the group that JTF-170 would
"like to take Koran away from some detainees - hold it as incentive" but that the issue was
355
undergoing a policy determination by SOUTHCOM.
The trip report noted that Mr. Haynes
"opined that JTF-170 should have the authority in place to make those calls, per POTUS order,"
adding that he "[t]hought JTF-170 would have more freedom to command.,,356 MG Dunlavey
told the Committee that he may have told the group during their visit that JTF-170 was working
357
on a request for authority to use additional interrogation techniques.
Mr. Haynes said he did
not recall discussing specific interrogation techniques or GTMO's work on a request for
authority to use additional interrogation techniques. 358

JTF-170 BSCT Produces Interrogation Policy Memo (U)

(U) According to the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) at GTMO, LTC Diane Beaver, there
was discussion among senior staff at GTMO as to whether or not the JTF required explicit
authorization to use interrogation approaches that had not been taught to interrogators at the U.S.
Army Intelligence Center at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. While some felt that JTF-170 already had
the authority to use additional interrogation techniques, MG Dunlavey directed his staff to draft a
request for new authorities to submit to SOUTHCOM for approval. 359
(U) The JTF-170 Director for Intelligence, LTC Jerald Phifer, told the Committee that
MG Dunlavey wanted to get new techniques on the table and that MG Dunlavey pressured him
to draft a memo requesting additional techniques. 36o LTC Phifer asked the BSCT to draft an
interrogation policy that could be formally submitted up the chain of command for review. 361
According to MAJ Burney, the BSCT psychiatrist, "by early October there was increasing
pressure to get 'tougher' with detainee interrogations but nobody was quite willing to define
what 'tougher' meant.,,362 MAJ Burney added that there was "a lot ofpressure to use more
coercive techniques" and that if the interrogation policy memo that LTC Phifer had asked him to
write did not contain coercive techniques, then it "wasn't going to go very far.,,363
(U) According to MAJ Burney, he and~wrote a memo of suggested detention
MAJ Burney told the Committee that

some of the interrogation approaches identified in the memo came from their JPRA training in
the BSCT
Fort Bragg and other approaches were simply made up by the BSCT. 365 _

_
The memo identified a number of conditions at GTMO that the BSCT judged to
be hindering intelligence collection and stated:

_
The October 2, 2002 memo proposed three categories of interrogation techniques
''for use in the interrogation booth to develop rapport, promote cooperation, and counter
resistance.,,369 Category I techniques included incentives and "mildly adverse approaches" such
as telling a detainee that he was going to be at GTMO forever unless he cooperated. 370 The
memorandum stated that an interrogator should be able to ascertain whether a detainee is being
cooperative by the end ofthe initial interrogation and said that if Category I approaches failed to
induce cooperation, the interrogator could request approval for Category II approaches. 371
_
Category II techniques were designed for 'lligh priority" detainees, defined in the
memo as "any detainee suspected of having significant information relative to the security ofthe
United States.,,372 Category II techniques included stress positions; the use of isolation for up to
30 days (with the possibility of additional 30 day periods, if authorized by the Chief
Interrogator); depriving a detainee of food for up to 12 hours (or as long as the interrogator goes
without food during an interrogation); the use of back-to-back 20 hour interrogations once per
week; removal of all comfort items including religious items; forced groominfi; handcuffmg a
detainee; and placing a hood on a detainee during questioning or movement. 3

_
The memo reserved Category III techniques "ONLY for detainees that have
evidenced advanced resistance and are suspected of having significant infonnation pertinent to
national security.,,374 Category III techniques included the daily use of20 hour interrogations;
the use of strict isolation without the right of visitation by treating medical professionals or the
International Committee ofthe Red Cross (ICRC); the use of food restriction for 24 hours once a
week; the use of scenarios designed to convince the detainee he might experience a painful or
fatal outcome; non-injurious physical consequences; removal of clothing; and exposure to cold
weather or water until such time as the detainee began to shiver. 375
_
In addition to suggesting interrogation techniques, the BSCT memo made
recommendations for the treatment of detainees in the cell blocks. Specifically, it proposed that
resistant detainees might be limited to four hours of sleep a day; that they be deprived of comfort
items such as sheets, blankets, mattresses, washcloths; and that interrogators control access to all
detainees' Korans. 376 The BSCT memo described using fans and generators to create white
noise as a fonn of psychological pressure and advocated that "all aspects ofthe [detention]
environment should enhance capture shock, dislocate expectations, foster dependence, and
support exploitation to the fullest extent possible.,,377

II

(
MAl Burney a n d _ t o l d the Committee that they were not
comfortable with the memo they were asked to produce, and therefore included a statement in
the memo reflecting their concerns about the techniques, including concerns about the "long term
physical and/or mental impact ofthe techniques.,,378 They wrote:
Experts in the field of interrogation indicate the most effective interrogation
strategy is a rapport-building approach. Interrogation techniques that rely on
physical or adverse consequences are likely to garner inaccurate information and
create an increased level of resistance...There is no evidence that the level offear
or discomfort evoked by a given technique has any consistent correlation to the
volume or quality of information obtained. . .The interrogation tools outlined
could affect the short term and/or long term physical and/or mental health of the
detainee. Physical and/or emotional hann from the above techniques may emerge
months or even years after their use. It is impossible to determine if a particular
strategy will cause irreversible hann if employed. . .Individuals employing
Category II or Category III interrogation techniques must be thoroughly trained ..
. carefully selected, to include a mental health screening (such screenings are SOP
for SERE and other Special Operations personnel). 379

(U) The BSCT provided a copy oftheir memo to LTC Banks at U.S. Anny Special
Operations Command (USASOC), who had helped organize their JPRA training. Upon
reviewing the memo, LTC Banks praised the BSCT for their "great job" on the memo, but also
raised concerns about the suggested use of physical pressures in interrogation, noting that
physical pressures are used with students in SERE school to increase their resistance to
interrogation, not break. it down. 380
(U) LTC Banks wrote:

II (

The use of physical pressures brings with it a large number of


potential negative side effects... When individuals are gradually exposed to
increasing levels of discomfort, it is more common for them to resist harder. That
is one of the reasons we use it [in SERE school] - to increase the resistance
posture of our soldiers. If individuals are put under enough discomfort, i.e. pain,
they will eventually do whatever it takes to stop the pain. This will increase the
amount of information they tell the interrogator, but it does not mean the
information is accurate. In fact, it usually decreases the reliability of the
infonnation because the person will say whatever he believes will stop the pain.
Now, there are certain exceptions, like with all generalizations, but they are not
common. Bottom line: The likelihood that the use of physical pressures will
increase the delivery of accurate information from a detainee is very low. The
likelihood that the use of physical pressures will increase the level of resistance in
a detainee is very high...

II (

It is important to remember that SERE instructors use these


techniques [physical pressures] because they are effective at increasing resistance.
. . Because of the danger involved, very few SERE instructors are allowed to
actually use physical pressures...everything that is occurring [in SERE school] is
very carefully monitored and paced... Even with all these safeguards, injuries
and accidents do happen. The risk with real detainees is increased exponentially.

(U) My strong recommendation is that you do not use physical pressures ...[If
GTMO does decide to use them] you are taking a substantial risk, with very
limited potential benefit. 381

(U) Mr. Fredman's visit took place just a week after the acting CIA General Counsel
John Rizzo and DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes's September 25,2002 visit to GTMO. Mr.
Haynes did not recall discussing with Mr. Rizzo during their visit the possibility of having a CIA
lawyer travel to GTMO to talk to DoD personnel there. 383 Mr. Haynes said he later found out in
a discussion with Mr. Rizzo that a CIA lawyer had gone to GTMO and discussed legal
authorities applicable to interrogations, but said he could not recall when he ftrst learned ofthat
CIA lawyer's visit.
(U) While LTC Beaver could not recall what she or others said, the minutes ofthe
October 2, 2002 meeting indicate that it began with a brieftng by the BSCT on the JPRA training
at Fort Bragg. 384 The BSCT briefer told the group that rapport building and the "friendly
approach" were proven methods to overcome resistance, while "fear based approaches" were
''unreliable'' and "ineffective in ahnost all cases.,,385 According to the meeting minutes,
however, the BSCT did report that psychological stressors such as sleep deprivation, withholding
food, isolation, and loss oftime were "extremely effective." 386 The BSCT also identified "camp
wide, environmental strategies designed to disrupt cohesion and communication among
detainees" as potentially helpful to improve the effectiveness of interroations and explained that
the detention "environment should foster dependence and compliance." 87
(U) Despite the BSCT comment on the effectiveness of rapport building, the meeting
minutes reflect little discussion ofthat approach. In fact, according to the meeting minutes, the
GTMO Director for Intelligence LTC Jerald Phifer questioned the BSCT assessment, stating that
"harsh tec~d on our service members have worked and will work on some, what about
those?,,388 _ _ responded that force was "risky, and may be ineffective.,,389
Nevertheless, the remainder ofthe meeting appears to have revolved around a discussion of
aggressive interrogation techniques and how to obtain the approval to use them.
(U) Interrogation Control Element (ICE) Chief David Becker noted at the meeting that
there were many reports about sleep deprivation used at Bagram in Afghanistan. 390 According to
the meeting minutes, LTC Beaver agreed but stated that "officially it is not happening.,,391
Nevertheless, LTC Beaver suggested that sleep deprivation could be used on GTMO detainees
''with approval.,,392 The group also discussed ways to manage the detainees' sleep cycles, i.e., by

letting the detainee rest ''just long enough to fall asleep and wake him up about every thirty
minutes and tell him it's time to pray again.,,393
(U) According to the meeting minutes, LTC Beaver suggested that the IfF might "need
to curb the harsher operations while [the International Committee ofthe Red Cross (ICRC;~ is
around," and that it would be "better not to expose them to any controversial techniques."
LTC Beaver explained that "[t]he ICRC is a serious concern. They will be in and out,
scrutinizing our operations, unless they are displeased and decide to protest and leave. This
would draw a lot of negative attention.,,395 The minutes reflect that the CIA lawyer added his
view:
In the past when the ICRC has made a big deal about certain detainees, the DOD
has 'moved' them away from the attention of the ICRC. Upon questioning from
the ICRC about their whereabouts, the DOD's response has repeatedly been that
the detainee merited no status under the Geneva Convention. 396
(U) At the meeting, the minutes reflect that CIA lawyer Jonathan Fredman also discussed
whether or not the techniques in the BSCT memo complied with applicable legal standards. Mr.
Fredman explained:
Under the Torture Convention, torture has been prohibited by intemationallaw,
but the language of the statutes is written vaguely. Severe mental and physical
pain is prohibited. The mental part is explained as poorly as the physical. Severe
physical pain [is] described as anything causing permanent damage to major
organs or body parts. Mental torture [is] described as anything leading to
permanent, profound damage to the senses or personality. It is basically subject
to perception. If the detainee dies you're doing it wrong. So far the techniques
we have addressed have not proven to produce these types of results, which in a
way challenges what the BSCT paper says about not being able to prove whether
these techniques will lead to permanent damage. Everything in the BSCT
[memo] is legal from a civilian standpoint. 397
(U) According to the minutes, when the participants of the meeting discussed whether or
not to videotape the "aggressive sessions or interro&ations," Mr. Fredman said that videotaping
of "even totally legal techniques will look 'ugly. ,,,3 8 Mr. Becker, who agreed with the CIA
lawyer's assessment, added that "videotapes are subject to too much scrutiny in court." 399

(U) When an attendee at the meeting mentioned that law enforcement agents (presumably
referring to CITF and FBI) had concerns about the use of aggressive tactics, the minutes reflect
that Mr. Fredman responded that "[w]hen CIA has wanted to use more aggressive techniques in
the past, the FBI has pulled their personnel from theatre. In those rare instances, aggressive
techniques have proven very helpful.,,4O LTC Beaver added that there was no legal reason why
law enforcement personnel could not participate in those operations. 401
(U) While LTC Beaver testified in 2008 that she was aware that SERE training was not
designed for offensive use with detainees, the minutes of the October 2,2002 meeting reflect that
she nevertheless asked about use ofthe "wet towel" technique in SERE school. 402 The CIA
lawyer replied:

If a well-trained individual is used to perfonn this technique it can feel like you're
drowning. The lymphatic system will react as if you're suffocating, but your
body will not cease to function. It is very effective to identify phobias and use
them (i.e., insects, snakes, claustrophobia). The level of resistance is directly
related to person's experience. 403
(U) According to the meeting minutes, ICE Chief David Becker asked whether GTMO
could get blanket approval for the use of techniques or whether techniques would be approved on
a case-by-case basis. 404 Mr. Fredman responded that the "CIA makes the call internally on most
ofthe techniques found in the BSCT" memo and referenced in their meeting, but that
"significantly harsh techniques are approved through the DOl,,405 As to whether Geneva
Conventions would apply, Mr. Fredman noted that the "CIA rallied for it not to.,,406

(U) The meeting minutes also reflect Mr. Fredman thoughts on other interrogation
techniques, such as threats of death. Mr. Fredman noted that such threats "should be handled on
a case by case basis. Mock executions don't work as well as friendly ~proaches, like letting
someone write a letter home, or providing them with an extra book.,;40

interviewed a Navy Lieutenant Commander who was deployed to GTMO and who had previously worked at the
Navy SERE school at the Naval Air Station in Brunswick, Maine. The Lieutenant Commander told the Committee
that he discussed with ITF-GTMO staff physical pressures used to teach students at SERE school how to resist
interrogations. However, the Lieutenant Commander was not deployed to GTMO until November 2002.

(U) Weeks later, CITF Deputy Commander Mark Fallon wrote an email to CITF's Chief
Legal Counsel Major Sam McCahon regarding the meeting minutes:

Quotes from LTC Beaver regarding things that are not being reported give the
appearance of impropriety. Other comments like "It is basically subject to
perception. If the detainee dies you're doing it wrong" and "Any of the
teclmiques that lie on the harshest end of the spectrum must be performed by a
highly trained individual. Medical personnel should be present to treat any
possible accidents." Seem to stretch beyond the bounds of legal propriety. Talk.
of "wet towel treatment" which results in the lymphatic gland reacting as if you
are suffocating, would in my opinion; shock the conscience of any legal body
looking at using the results of the interrogations or possibly even the
interrogators. Someone needs to be considering how history will look back at
thiS. 408

II

The October 2, 2002 meeting minutes indicated that the group discussed Mohammed
al Khatani, a high value detainee suspected of being connected to the September 11, 2001
attacks. A week before the meeting, JTF-170 had assumed the lead on Khatani's
interrogation. 409 By the October 2, 2002 meeting, JTF-170 had already developed an aggressive
interrogation plan for Khatani.
.
IITwo days after the meeting, BSCT psychiatrist MAl Paul Burney sent an email to
LTC Banks, stating that "persons here at this operation are still interested in pursuing the
potential use of more aversive interrogation teclmiques ... Were more aversive teclmiques
approved for use in the future by appropriate people, the operation would like to have a few task
force personnel specifically trained in various techniques.,,410 MAl Burney asked whether LTC
Banks knew "where task force personnel could go to receive such training" and whether he knew
of"any consultants who could assist ifany ofthese measures are eventually approved.,,411
_ LTC Banks replied "I do not envy you. I suspect I know where this is coming from.
The answer is no, I do not know of anyone who could provide that training... The training that
SERE instructors receive is designed to simulate that of a foreign power, and to do so in a
manner that encourages resistance among the students. I do not believe that traininf
interrogators to use what SERE instructors use would be particularly productive.,,41

Delta until August 8,2002 when he was transferred to the Naval Brig at Guantanamo Bay.416
While he was in FBI custody, JTF-170 began drafting an interrogation plan for Khatani.

(U) On September 23, 2002, the CITF Special Agent in Charge sent a memorandum to
CITF's Deputy Commander raising concerns about JTF-170's proposed interrogation plan for
Khatani. The memo stated:
DoD Intelligence personnel contacted FBI [Supervisory Special Agent] in order to
conduct an interview of a detainee assigned to the FBI. The DoD personnel
indicated that they intend to employ the following interrogation techniques: drive
the hooded detainee around the island to disorient him, disrobe him to his
underwear, have an interrogator with an Egyptian accent (it is known among the
detainees that Egyptians are aggressive interrogators and commonly use coercion,
to include maiming) ...
As a law enforcement agency, CITF is clearly prohibited from participating in
these techniques and we also do not want to tum a deaf ear when we learn of
these issues...417

(U) While MG Dunlavey's memo stated that the request had "been reviewed by my Staff
Judge Advocate and determined to be legally sufficient," the SJA, LTC Diane Beaver, told the
Committee that she had not been consulted on the interrogation plan and did not recall reviewing
the memo or providing the Commander with guidance regarding the legal sufficiency of the
request. 42S Major General Dunlavey said that he did not recall whether or not he personally
consulted with LTC Beaver, that the letter would likely have been drafted by his Director for
Intelligence, LTC Jerald Phifer, and that it was possible that the statement in the letter that LTC
Beaver had been consulted was based on a representation by his staff. 426

The memo was provided to the Committee as an appendix to the AR-15-6 Report completed by Lieutenant
General Randall Schmidt and Brigadier General John T. Furlow into FBI allegations of abuse at Guantanamo Bay

IIFrom October 2 until October 10,2002, ITF-170 personnel interrogated Khatani.


According to multiple witness accounts, on or about October 5,2002, military working dogs
were brought into the room where Khatani was being interrogated. 427 A summarized statement
oftestimony provided by one ofthe FBI agents present at the time indicated that the FBI
objected to the use of dogs and raised those objections to Mr. Becker, the ITF-170 ICE Chief. 428
In testimony to the Army IG, Mr. Becker acknowledged that he permitted the military working
dog to enter the interrogation in order to raise the detainee's stress level. 429

II Mr. Becker told the Committee that he had authorized dogs entering the interrogation
room on two occasions and that the dog barked but was not pennitted to place its paws on
Khatani. 430 ~lr. Becker also told the Committee that LTC Phifer provided verbal authority for
the dogs to be used in this manner. LTC Phifer recalled discussing dogs with Mr. Becker as a
teclmique because Arabs "saw dogs as a dirty animal and they didn't like them," not because
they should be "used as a fear factor.,,431 LTC Phifer told the Army IG, however, that Mr.
Becker never told him that he had approved the use of a dog during the Khatani interrogation.
However, in written answers to questions posed by Vice Admiral Church, LTC Phifer stated that
dogs were used in the Khatani interrogation and that "[w]e would bring the dog around to within
10 feet [of Khatani] and he would be somewhat Ulmerved by it. We did it to keep him off
balance as well as to enhance security.'.432 Major General Dunlavey said that he did not recall
being aware that a dog was used in the interrogation of Khatani. 433
II(
In an October 8,2002 email to his colleague, an FBI agent described ITF
170's interrogation of Khatani, stating that DoD had tried "sleep deprivation," "loud music,
bright lights, and 'body placement discomfort,' all with negative results" and that DoD
interrogators planned to stop the interrogation. 434 Mr. Becker told the Committee that the
interrogation plan did not work and that ITF-170 ceased the interrogation after approximately a
week and moved Khatani back to the Navy brig. 435

GTMO Seeks Authority to Use Aggressive Interrogation Techniques (U)

A.

GTMO Requests Counter-Resistance Techniques Influenced by SERE (U)

(U) On October 11, 2002, just days after the JTF-170 moved Khatani back to the Navy
Brig and shortly after meeting with the ChiefCounsel ofthe CIA's CounterTerrorist Center
Jonathan Fredman, LTC Phifer submitted a memorandum to JTF-170 Commander MG Dunlavey
requesting approval to use "counter-resistance" interrogation techniques. 437 LTC Phifer's
memo was largely drawn from the October 2, 2002 memorandum that the GTMO Behavioral
Science Consultation Team (BSCT) had written upon their return from the JPRA training at Fort
Bragg. 438 The memo requested approval for three categories of progressively more aggressive
interrogation techniques, many of which were similar to techniques used at SERE schools to
increase U.S. soldiers' resistance to illegal enemy interrogation. 439
(U) Ofthe three categories of proposed techniques, those in Category I were the least
aggressive. Category I proposed yelling at the detainee and using certain "techniques of
deception," such as using multiple interrogators or having an interrogator "identifY himself as a
citizen of a foreign nation or as an interrogator from a country with a reputation for harsh
treatment of detainees. ,,4040
(U) The proposed Category II techniques were more aggressive and included several
techniques similar to those used in SERE schools, such as stress positions, isolation, deprivation
oflight and auditory stimuli, using a hood during transport and questioning, removal of clothing,
and using detainees' individual phobias to induce stress. 441

II

An August 19,2002 email from LTC Beaver reflected discussions among JTF-170
staff about stress positions, which she said resulted in an agreed upon policy of "no stress

Ibid

Additional Category II techniques included use of falsified documents or reports, interrogating the detainee in an
environment other than the standard interrogation booth, use of 20 hour interrogations, removal of all comfort items
(including religious items), switching the detainee from hot rations to MREs, and forced grooming. Ibid

positions" at GTMO. 442 When asked how stress positions came to be included in LTC Phifer's
memo, given the agreement referenced in her earlier email, LTC Beaver said that she did not
know, but added that LTC Phifer later advocated for their use. 443 LTC Beaver said that she
relied on Mr. Becker and LTC Phifer to decide which techniques to put in the memo and that she
never commented or changed their drafts. 444
(U) The proposed Category III techniques in the October 11, 2002 request were the most

aggressive and included the use of scenarios designed to convince the detainee that death or
severely painful consequences were imminent for him and/or his family; exposure to cold
weather or water; the use ofa wet towel and dripping water to induce the misperception of
suffocation; and the use of mild, non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking in the
chest with the fmger, and light pushing. 44S According to the October 11,2002 memo, Category
III techniques "and other aversive techniques, such as those used in u.s. military resistance
training or by other U.S. government agencies" would be utilized to interrogate "exceptionally
resistant detainees," which LTC Phifer estimated as "less than 3%" of the detainees held at
GTMO. 446
(U) Two ofthe Category III techniques in LTC Phifer's memo - the use of phobias and
the use ofthe wet towel and dripping water to induce the misperception of suffocation - were not
derived from the October 2,2002 BSCT memo. 447 CIA lawyer Jonathan Fredman, however, had
reportedly discussed both ofthese techniques during his October 2, 2002 meeting with GTMO
personnel, noting that the use ofphobias was "very effective" and that the use ofthe "wet towel
technique" makes a body react as is if it's suffocating. 448 Mr. Becker told the Committee that he
(the ICE Chief) may have recommended adding those two techniques to the request for
authority. 449
(U) LTC Phifer said that he drafted his memo with Mr. Becker.

4So

Mr. Becker, however,


told the Committee that he was provided a draft only after it was nearly complete. He said that

he thought the techniques memo was "stupid," though he did not share his view with LTC Phifer
at the time. 451 LTC Phifer told the Committee that he was uncomfortable with the idea of using
some ofthe techniques in his memo but that MG Dunlavey pressured him to fmish the request. 452

GTMO StaffJudge Advocate Conducts "Legal Review ofAggressive


Interrogation Techniques" (U)

(U) The October 11, 2002 techniques memo was accompanied by a cover memo and
legal briefwritten by GTMO's Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) LTC Diane Beaver. The cover
memo stated simply that ''the proposed strategies do not violate applicable federal law.,,453
(U) LTC Beaver told the Committee that she drafted the legal brief with her staff over the
course of the 2002 Columbus Day weekend. 454 She told the Committee that she had not seen
either ofthe legal memoranda produced by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel on
August 1, 2002 and that she did not receive input on the legal brief from anyone outside of
GTMO. The minutes ofthe October 2, 2002 meeting with CIA lawyer Jonathan Fredman,
however, reflect that LTC Beaver was present when he discussed the Torture Convention (and
the federal law implementing the treaty). In that discussion, Mr. Fredman described "severe
physical pain" as "anything causing permanent damage to major organs or body partS.,,455 The
idea that "severe physical pain" constituting torture had to rise to the level of "organ failure,
irnpainnent of bodily functions or even death" had been discussed in the OLC legal memo of
August 1 2002, known as the First Bybee memo. 456
(U) LTC Beaver began her analysis ofthe "aggressive" techniques by stating that the
"detainees currently held at Guantanamo Bay ... are not protected by the Geneva
Conventions.'.457 LTC Beaver stated that the Office ofthe Secretary of Defense "had not
adopted specific guidelines regarding interrogation techniques for detainee operations at GTMO"
and she dismissed the longstanding guidance on interrogation of detainees contained in the Army
Field Manual (FM) 34-52 as not binding. 458

(U) In her memo, LTC Beaver stated that U. S. obligations under the Convention Against
Torture restricted only those cruel, inhuman, or degrading acts that were also prohibited by the
"current standard articulated in the Eighth Amendment" against "cruel and unusual
punishment. ,,459 The memo concluded that the proposed interrogation techniques would be
consistent with the Eighth Amendment standard so long as any force used could "plausibly have
been thought necessary ... to achieve a legitimate governmental objective and it was applied in a
good faith effort and not maliciously or sadistically for the very purpose of causing harm.,,460
(U) LTC Beaver also concluded that the proposed interrogation techniques would not
violate the federal anti-torture statute so long as they were not specifically intended to cause
severe physical pain or suffering or prolonged mental harm. LTC Beaver conducted her analysis
with the "assum[ption] that severe physical pain [would not be] inflicted" and "absent any
evidence that any ofthese strategies [would] in fact cause prolonged and long lasting mental
harm.,,461 LTC Beaver told the Committee that she did not conduct any research to determine
whether the use of the techniques described in the accompanying request for authority would, in
fact, result in long-term mental harm. 462

II (

The October 2, 2002 BSCT memo, however, had specifically cautioned that
the techniques "could affect the short term and/or long term physical and/or mental health ofthe
detainee ... [and that] physical and/or emotional harm from the ... techniques may emerge
months or even years after their use.,,463
(U) LTC Beaver also found that some ofthe proposed tactics would constitute a "per se
violation" ofthe Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article that prohibits military
personnel from committing assault, and could violate the Article that prohibits military personnel
from communicating a threat.464 As a result, LTC Beaver said it would be "advisable to have
permission or immunity in advance from the convening authority for military members utilizing
these methods.,,465 In a November 4,2002 letter to the Joint StaffJ-5, the Marine Corps
commented on the SJA's recommendation to convey "permission or immunity in advance,"
noting that "[w]e are unaware of any authority that would allow a convening authority to give
'permission or immunity' in advance to commit a criminal violation.,,466 Likewise, military
lawyers from the Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School later said that LTC
Beaver's "proposal to immunize interrogators, given that a number ofthe proposed techniques in

issue constituted violations of the UCMJ, was not only unprecedented, but lacked any basis in
law.,,467
(U) Based on her legal review, LTC Beaver recommended that the "proposed methods of
interrogation be approved," but that interrogators be trained to use the methods and that
"interrogations involving category II and III methods" undergo a legal, medical, behavioral
science, and intelligence review prior to commencement.468
(U) LTC Beaver told the Committee that she called the SOUTHCOM Staff Judge
Advocate COL Manny Supervielle, like?, on Sunday, October 10, 2002 and sent SOUTHCOM a
draft of the legal memo that same day.46 She said that she told COL Supervielle that she "really
needed some help" but that she received no comments from SOUTHCOM prior to submitting the
final memo the next day. 470 LTC Beaver said that she also talked to the Legal Counsel to the
Chainnan of the Joint Chiefs of Staff CAPT Jane Dalton and asked for her help, but was told that
she should talk to COL Supervielle. 471 CAPT Dalton said that she did not recall that
conversation with LTC Beaver.472 LTC Beaver also told the Committee that MG Dunlavey did
not comment on drafts of the memo and that she did not discuss it with him after it was
completed. 473

interrogation techniques. 474 MG Dunlavey wrote:

(U) On October 25,2002, GEN Hill forwarded the JTF-170 request to Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Richard Myers, with a memorandum stating that "despite our best
efforts, some detainees have tenaciously resisted our current interrogation methods.,,476 He
continued: "[0]ur respective staffs, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Joint Task Force
170 have been trying to identify counter-resistant techniques that we can lawfully employ.'.477
When later asked, GEN Hill could not recall whether SOUTHCOM ~roduced a written opinion
analyzing the GTMO request separate from LTC Beaver's opinion. 4 8
(U) As to techniques in the GTMO request for interrogation techniques, GEN Hill said
that he "did discuss the topic of SERE training in a general manner with MG Dunlavey.,,479
Years later, in a June 3, 2004 press briefing, GEN Hill noted the influence ofthe Fort Bragg trip
and SERE school techniques on the request, stating:
The staff at Guantanamo working with behavioral scientists, having gone up to
our SERE school and developed a list of techniques which our lawyers decided

said, in order for us to get at some of these very high-profile, high-value targets
who are resistant to techniques, I may need greater flexibility. But I want a legal
review of it and you to tell me that, policy-wise, it's the right way to do
business.480
(U) In his October 25, 2002 memo, GEN Hill stated that, although he believed Categories
I and II techniques were "legal and humane," he was uncertain about techniques in Category III
and was "particularly troubled by the use of implied or expressed threats of death ofthe detainee
or his family.'.481 Nevertheless, GEN Hill said that he "desire[d] to have as many options as
possible at [his] disposal" and asked that Departments of Defense and Justice attorneys review
the Category III techniques. 482

(U) One SOUTHCOM Assistant Staff Judge Advocate LTC Mark Gingras testified to the
Army IG that lawyers for SOUTHCOM had concerns about Category II and Category III
techniques. 483 Regarding the GTMO request for techniques, LTC Gingras told the Anny IG:

As lawyers we're talking about adherence to the rule of law being important, and
that's what we're trying to tell everybody as we travel around the world to these
other countries. That's paramount to democracy. And so suddenly we look like
we're brushing this aside or we're twisting the law. The feeling was that decision
makers within the Pentagon didn't much care about that. They cared about
winning the War on Terrorism. And ifthat meant you had to pull out fmgernails
you'd pull out fmgernails, figuratively speaking.484

Military Services React to GTMO Request/or Interrogation Techniques (U)

(U) On October 30,2002, after receiving Gen Hill's memo and the GTMO request, the
Joint Staff J-5 requested that the military services comment on the request. 485
(U) On November 1,2002, the Air Force responded, expressing "serious concerns
regarding the legality of many ofthe proposed techniques" and stating that "some ofthese
techniques could be construed as 'torture,' as that crime is defmed by 18 U.S.C. 2340.'.486 The
Air Force memorandum added that, with respect to potential prosecutions, the use ofCatego~
III techniques would "almost certainly" result in any statements obtained being inadmissible. 87
The memorandum stated that admissibility of evidence obtained using Categories I and II
techniques, the latter of which included stress positions, the use of dogs, removal of clothing, and
deprivation oflight and auditory stimuli, among other techniques, would be "fact specific, but
the same concerns remain. ,,488 The Air Force memo continued: "Additionally, the techniques
described may be subject to challenge as failing to meet the requirements outlined in the military
order to treat detainees humanely... Implementation of the proposed techniques would require a
change in Presidential policy.,,489 The memo stated that the Air Force "concurs in the need to
conduct an in-depth legal and policy assessment, as recommended by [the SOUTHCOM
Commander], prior to implementation of the proposed counter-resistance interrogation
techniques.,,490
(U) On November 4, 2002, the Navy responded to the Joint Staff's request for comment,
stating that it "concur[red] with developing a range of advanced counter-resistance techniques,"

but recommending "a more detailed interagency legal and policy review be conducted on the ...
proposed techniques.,,491
(U) That same day, the Marine Corps submitted its written comments, which concluded

that "several ofthe Category II and III techniques arguably violate federal law, and would
expose our service members to possible prosecution.,,492 The Marine Corps memo stated that the
use ofthe techniques would also create "exposure to criminal prosecution under the UCMJ.,,493
Again, Category III techniques included the use of scenarios designed to convince the detainee
that death or severely painful consequences were imminent for him or his family, exposure to
cold weather or water, use of a wet towel and dripping water to induce the misperception of
suffocation, and non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking and light pushing. 494
Category II included such techniques as stress positions, deprivation oflight and auditory
stimuli, the use of a hood during questioning, 20 hour interrogations, removal of clothing, and
the use of detainee phobias, such as dogs, to induce stress. The memo also stated the Marine
Corps "disagree[d] with the position that the proposed plan is legally sufficient.,,495
(U) A few days later, the Army submitted comments from both the Office of the Judge
Advocate General (OTJAG) and the CITF. 496 The Army's cover memo stated that "Army
interposes significant legal, policy and practical concerns regarding most of the Category II and
all ofthe Category III techniques proposed" and that the Army "concurs in the recommendation
for a comprehensive legal review ofthis proposal in its entirety by the Department of Defense
and the Department of Justice.,,491 The OTJAG's memorandum, which was attached, stated that
Category III techniques "violate the President's order [on humane treatment] and various UCMJ
articles" and that the use of scenarios designed to convince the detainee that death or severely
painful consequences are imminent for him and/or his family and the use of a wet towel and
dripping water to induce the misperception of suffocation "appear to be clear violations ofthe
federal torture statute.,,498 The OTJAG memorandum also stated that Category II techniques of
stress positions, deprivation oflight and auditory stimuli, and using individual phobias to induce
stress "crosses the line of 'humane' treatment, would likely be considered maltreatment under

Article 93 of the [Uniform Code of Military Justice], and may violate the Federal torture
statute.,,499 The memo continued that that removal of clothing and forced grooming "may be
considered inhumane" if done only for interrogation pu~oses and stated "if we mistreat
detainees, we will quickly lose the moral high ground." 0 The Army concurred with GEN
Hill's request for a legal review before techniques were adopted. 501
(U) Military lawyers were not the only personnel to object to GTMO's request for
aggressive techniques. CITF Deputy Commander Mark Fallon told the Committee that it was
CITF's view that the techniques proposed by JTF-170 would actually strengthen, rather than
weaken, detainee resistance. He explained:
Our view was that employing techniques that validated [the detainees] prior
training and adverse views would serve to harden resistance and reinforce what
they had been told to expect... We pointed out that SERE school tactics were
developed to better prepare U.S. military personnel to resist interrogations and not
as a means of obtaining reliable information. CITF was troubled with the
rationale that techniques used to harden resistance to interrogations would be the
basis for the utilization oftechniques to obtain information. 502
(U) CITF's legal view was reflected in a November 4,2002 memo from CITF Chief
Legal Advisor MAJ Sam McCahon, which was also attached to the Army's response to the Joint
Staff. MAJ McCahon wrote:
[Category] III and certain [Category] II techniques may subject service members
to punitive articles of the UCMJ... CITF personnel who are aware of the use or
abuse of certain techniques may be exposed to liability under the UCMJ for
failing to intercede or report incidents, if an inquiry later determines the conduct
to be in violation of either the Eighth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, the
Uniform Code of Military Justice or 18 U.S.C. 2340. 503
(U) MAJ McCahon also raised concerns about the impact ofthe techniques on
evidentiary proceedings:
One detainee subjected to these techniques could taint the voluntary nature of all
other confessions and information derived from detainees not subjected to the
aggressive techniques. 504

(U) MAl McCahon added that "[b]oth the utility and legality ofapplying certain
techniques" in the October 11, 2002 memo are "questionable," and recommended that CITF
personnel not participate in or even observe the use of aggressive techniques. 505 MAl McCahon

Department ofDefense General Counsel Quashes Joint StaffLegal Review (U)

(U) When the October 11,2002 GTMO request arrived at the Joint Staff, CAPT Jane
Dalton, the Legal Counsel to the Chainnan ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it was "obvious to
[her] that there were some legal issues" with the request. 510 She said that techniques in Category
II ofthe request "needed to be looked at closely" and that Category III techniques "had
significant, significant concerns." 511 CAPT Dalton found LTC Beaver's legal analysis
''woefully inadequate" and said it relied on a methodology and conclusions that were "very
strained.,,512 Rather than simply deny the request, however, CAPT Dalton said that "she owed it
to the combatant commander to do a full and complete review.,,513 She subsequently directed her
staffto set up a secure video teleconference with representatives from the Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA), the Army's intelligence school at Fort Huachuca, U.S. Southern Command
(SOUTHCOM), and GTMO to find out more infonnation about the techniques in the request and
to "begin discussing the legal issues to see if we could do ... our own independent legal
analysis.,,514

(U) CAPT Dalton recalled making Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard
Myers aware of the concerns expressed by the military services. 515 The Chairman said, however,
that he did "not specifically recall the objections ofthe Services being raised" to his attention at
that time. 516
(U) CAPT Dalton also recalled that her staff briefed the DoD General Counsel's office
about the concerns submitted by the military services and that the General Counsel himself "was
aware ofthe concerns.,,517 In a February 2008 interview, DoD Associate Deputy General
Counsel for International Affairs Eliana Davidson recalled that the service comments were made
available to the General Counsel's office. 518 DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes stated, however,
that he "did not recall seeing" the memos at that time and "didn't know they existed.,,519 He
stated that he did not recall being infonned by anyone that the military services had concerns
about the legality of Category II techniques in the request and that he did not have a "specific
recollection" of CAPT Dalton making him aware that there were concerns about the legality of
techniques in the GTMO request. 520
(U) According to CAPT Dalton, after she and her staff initiated their analysis, CJCS GEN
Myers directed her to stop that review. CAPT Dalton said that GEN Myers returned from a
meeting and "advised me that [DoD General Counsel] Mr. Haynes wanted me ... to cancel the
video teleconference and to stop" conducting the review because of concerns that "people were
going to see" the GTMO request and the military services' ana1~sis of it. 521 According to CAPT
Dalton, Mr. Haynes "wanted to keep it much more close hold." 22 When CAPT Dalton "learned
that [the DoD General Counsel] did not want that broad based legal and policy r.eview to take
place," she and her staff stopped their review. 523 This was the only time that CAPT Dalton had
ever been asked to stop analyzing a request that came to her for her review. 524

doing so" and did "not recall anyone suggesting" to him that she stop her review. 530 DoD

GTMO and JPRA Plan for Additional Interrogation Training (U)

_ While GTMO's request for approval to use aggressive interrogation techniques was
pending, JPRA staff was developing an agenda for possible follow-up training for interrogation
personnel at GTMO.

In mid-October 2002, JPRA developed a plan of instruction to provide training on the


techniques to GTMO interrogators. 532 The training plan was virtually identical to a draft agenda
developed for the Fort Bragg training ofGTMO personnel that took place in September, which
included instruction ofthe ''use of physiological pressures.,,533

(FODO) David Becker, the GTMO ICE Chief, told the Committee that once they
received authority to use the techniques in the October 11, 2002 memo, GTMO interrogators
would need training on the techniques. 534 A draft message order circulated between GTMO and
JPRA staff in late October requested "mission critical training support" for "approximatelyll

A November 15,2002 staffmemo to the Joint Staff J-2 stated that ITF
GTMO had requested training on the SERE school techniques and that the trainers were
expected to arrive in the ftrst week of December.537 The JPRA Operational Support Office
(OSO) Chief Christopher Wirts told the Committee that the requirement for JPRA to provide the
training was never approved and that his agency never conducted the training. 538 However, in
January 2003, two instructors from the Navy SERE school, John Rankin and Christopher Ross,
travelled to GTMO to train interrogators on the use of physical pressures, including slapping,
walling, and stress positions. 539

Continues (U)

A.

Major General Geoffrey MiUer Takes Command ofJTF-GTMO (U)

(U) In November 2002 a new Commander, MG Geoffrey Miller, took command of ITF
GTMO. At the time, MG Miller had no ftrst-hand experience with detainees or
interrogations.540
(U) MG Miller told the Committee that prior to taking command, he met with
SOUTHCOM Commander GEN Hill and his staff. 541 During those meetings, MG Miller got the
impression that MG Dunlavey, the previous Commander, had bypassed the chain of command
by raising issues directly with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Department of Defense staff. MG
Miller told the Committee that GEN Hill authorized him to speak directly with the Joint Staff
and the Office ofthe Secretary of Defense, but that he told SOUTHCOM he would keep
SOUTHCOM informed ofthose communications.542
(U) MG Miller said that, while he was in Command at GTMO, he had direct discussions
with the DoD General Counsel's office and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (ASD SO/LIC).543 MG Miller also testifted to the
Army IG that he and Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz ''talked once a week when I

was in Guantanamo.,,544 Lt Col Ted Moss, the ITF-GTMO ICE Chiefwho began his tour of
duty at GTMO in December 2002, said that Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz was in phone contact
with MG Miller "a 101.,,545 However, MG Miller told the Committee that he misspoke when he
testified to the Army IG and that, to the best of his knowledge, he did not speak to Deputy
Secretary Wolfowitz on the phone while he was at GTMO, but only briefed him quarterly, in
person, on GTMO operations.546
(U) Shortly after MG Miller arrived at GTMO, the Director for Intelligence (J-2) LTC
Phifer informed him ofthe October 11,2002 request 547 Although he later approved an
interrogation plan that included reference to Category III techniques, MG Miller told the Army
IG that he believed that the techniques in Category III and some techniques in Category II were
"overly aggressive" and that he had not intended to use them. 548 MG Miller said he had concerns
with stress positions, removal of clothing, and use of dogs, among other techniques.
Nevertheless, there is evidence that those techniques were used at GTMO while he was in
command. MG Miller told the Committee that he thought he discussed his concerns about the
techniques with LTC Beaver in early November before the Secretary approved their use, but that
he did not raise it with SOUfHCOM because he wanted to see which techniques would be
approved.549
(U) MG Miller told the Army IG that when he arrived at GTMO, there was significant
tension between JTF-GTMO, CITF, and FBI and that he sought to get all three organizations to
work in concert. 550 Despite MG Miller's stated intent, his decision to approve an interrogation
plan for Mohammed al Khatani that was opposed by the CITF and FBI, drove a deeper wedge
between his organization and both CITF and FBI.

Khatani Interrogation Plan Fuels Dispute Over Aggressive Techniques (U)

(U) After their unsuccessful interrogation of Khatani in October 2002, JTF-GTMO staff
spent several weeks drafting an extensive new interrogation plan. The plan was the first "Special
Interrogation Plan" at GTMO and it would encounter strong resistance from both CITF and the
FBI. One FBI Special Agent told the Committee that he thought Khatani's interrogation would
defme the conduct of future interrogations at GTMO and therefore they "had to get it right.,,551

II

Several drafts of JTF-GTMO's interrogation plan for Khatani were circulated at


GTMO in November 2002. The discussion below focuses primarily on two ofthose drafts, one
circulated on November 12, 2002 and another which was drafted about a week later and appears

provides insight on the range of interrogation techniques considered by senior officials at
GTMO. In addition, there is evidence that both draft plans were approved by MG Miller.
Finally, there is evidence that techniques which were included in the "draft" circulated on
November 12,2002 but removed from the purported "final" plan, were nevertheless used during
Khatani's interrogation.

According to the report completed by Vice Admiral (VADM) Church, "after


discussing the matter in early November 2002 with the Secretary of Defense, SOUTHCOM
Commander GEN Hill gave verbal approval on November 12,2002 for use of all Category I and
II counter resistance techniques against Khatani.,,552 GEN Hill told the Committee that he had
no recollection of that. 553 That same day, November 12,2002, LTC Phifer sent an email and a
four page interrogation plan to MG Miller stating "[h]ere is the Interrogation Plan for [Khatani]
as approved by you.,,554
liThe next day, GTMO ICE Chief David Becker emailed the plan, which he referred to
as the "[l]atest approved by MG Miller," to a GTMO interrogator. 555 According to the plan, the
interrogation was scheduled to begin on November 15, 2002. 556 Mr. Becker told the Committee
that the plan was developed by his interrogators with input from him and LTC Phifer. 557 In
2005, MG Miller testified to the Army IG that he thought the plan circulated on November 12,
2002 was part of the fmal version ofthe plan that he approved. 558 However, in a subsequent
investigation, MG Miller identified a later version as the final plan. 559 He told the Committee
that he never approved the version ofthe plan circulated on November 12,2002.560 However,
contemporaneous documents indicate that others believed the plan circulated on November 12,
2002 had been approved by both MG Miller and SOUTHCOM and expected it to be
implemented on November 15,2002:

Prior to the fIrst interrogation, we would like to have the detainee's head and
beard shaved. This is to be done for both s cholo .cal and h iene purposes.
During the
interrogations the detainee will at times be placed in stress positions and
blindfolded. If necessary the detainee may have his mouth taped shut in order to
keep him from talking. Written approval for the tape and for the presence of dogs
will be submitted and obtained prior to implementation.569

II

The November 12, 2002 plan went on to describe four phases for the interrogation.570
During Phase I, interrogators would increase the pressure on Khatani while not permitting him to
speak, with the expectation that Khatani, when later presented with the opportunity to speak to
an interrogator, would "provide his whole story.,,571

II

Phase II of the plan was to lace a coo erative detainee or a native lin

II Phase III of the plan, which was entitled "Level III techniques," was to utilize
techniques based on those used at SERE school. The plan slated:
The third phase of the plan to exploit 063 requires OSD approval for the SERE
interrogation technique training and approval of the level three counter
interrogation resistance training submitted by JTF-GTMO. Once the approvals
are in place, those interro ation techni ues will be im lemented to encoura e 063

CITF and FBI Object to Proposed Interrogation Techniques (U)

(U) On November 14,2002, CITF Commander COL Britt Mallow sent an email to MG
Miller raising concerns about both the Khatani interrogation and the October 11, 2002 request
for authority to use aggressive interrogation techniques. 575 He stated:

I strongly disagree with the use of many of the proposed [Category] 3 and some
[Category] 2 techniques. I feel they will be largely ineffective, and that they will
have serious negative material and legal effects on our investigations. I also am
extremely concerned that the use of many of these techniques will open any
military members up for potential criminal charges, and that my agents, as well as
other [military personnel] will face both legal and ethical problems if they become
aware oftheir use. 576
(U) COL Mallow told the Committee that in addition to his email, he raised concerns
about the Khatani interrogation in conversations with MG Miller and in "several meetings with
the DoD [General Counse1].,,577 COL Mallow said that MG Miller told him in a meeting that "if
[CITF] did not want to participate in interrogations with the intelligence community because of
our objections to methods, that [CITF] would not have the benefit of information resulting from
any ofthose interrogations.,,578
.
(U) MG Miller told the Committee that, while he did not recall the CITF Commander's
November 14, 2002 email specifically, he did recall communications from COL Mallow to that
effect. 579 DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes stated that he did not recall seeing a copy of the
Khatani interrogation plan at that time and did not "specifically" recall his staff advising him that
CITF and FBI had concerns with interrogation techniques in the Khatani interrogation plan. 580

said that "the reliability of any information gained from aggressive techniques will be
highly questionable" and objected to all "physical stresses intended for use" in Phase III ofthe
interrogation plan. 581
also objected to Phase IV ofthe plan, stating that it implied
"that third country nationals with harsher interrogation standards could be used to convey threats
to persons of family or inflict harm contrary to the Convention Against Torture.,,582

The Khatani interrogation did not proceed on November 15,2002 as


planned. A November 15,2002 staff memo to the Joint Staff J-2 indicated that the interrogation
was delayed while MG Miller "consider[ed] COL Mallow's objections.,,583 MG Miller denied
that the Khatani interrogation was delayed because of COL Mallow's concerns, instead telling
the Committee that the interrogation was delayed because he had not received SOUTHCOM's
approval. 584 However, as noted above, GTMO Staff Judge Advocate LTC Diane Beaver
indicated in a November 14,2002 email that ITF-GTMO planned to move forward "with support
of SOlFfHCOM.,,585
(U) In his November 14,2002 email to MG Miller, COL Mallow proposed that ITF
GTMO and CITF develop a mutually acceptable interrogation plan for Khatani. 586 On
November 20,2002, FBI personnel, who were working closely with CITF, met with ITF-GTMO
staff to discuss developing such a plan 587

.On

November 21,2002, MG Miller, LTC Phifer, and representatives from the FBI,
CITF, SOUTHCOM, and the DoD General Counsel's office all participated in a video
teleconference (VTC) to discuss the Khatani interrogation. 591

II LTC Phifer told the Committee that he and MG Miller briefed the group on the
Khatani plan and that during the VTC, DoD Associate Deputy General Counsel for International
Affairs Eliana Davidson stated that the Department was comfortable with what ITF-GTMO had
planned. 592 MG Miller told the Committee that he did not recall the VTC. 593 Ms. Davidson said
that she recalled participating in VTCs where the Khatani interrogation was discussed, but she
did not recall if she had a copy of the interrogation plan itself and did not recall saying that the
~ fDefense was comfortable with what ITF-GTMO proposed for the interrogation. 594
- - - . the psychiatrist with the GTMO Behavioral Science Consultation Team, said that
in the context ofthe Khatani interrogation, ''we were routinely told that the interrogation strategy
was approved up to [the Secretary of Defense] level.,,595
(U) Subsequent to the VTC, the FBI sent a memo to MG Miller alerting him to FBI
"misgivings about the overall coercive nature and possible illegality" ofthe Khatani
interrogation plan and informing him that the FBI had presented ITF-GTMO staffwith "an
alternative interrogation approach based on long-term rapport building.,,596 A draft ofthat
alternative approach, which was the product of both the FBI and CITF, stated that Khatani's
negative interactions with interrogators "only reinforces Al-Qaeda stereotypes about evil
Americans and validates their expectation of harsh treatment and potential torture.,,597
(U) On November 22, 2002, Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Chief
Psychologist Michael Gelles drafted a formal review of a ITF-GTMO draft plan. 598 Dr. Gelles
concluded that the interrogation plan "lack[ed] substantive and thoughtful consideration.,,599

Strategies articulated in the later phases reflect techniques used to train US forces
in resisting interrogation by foreign enemies... [These techniques] would prove
not only to be ineffective but also border on techniques and strategies deemed
unacceptable by law enforcement professionals... 600
(U) Dr. Gelles noted that '"the choice to use force with this adversary in an interrogation

may only reinforce his resistance" and stated that ifthe plan were implemented he would "have
trouble not finding myself from a professional perspective, being forced into an adversary
position through cross examination in a military tribunal as an expert in interrogation.,,601

"Final" Khatani Interrogation Plan (U)

II

(
MG Miller identified a version ofthe Khatani plan that had been written on
November 22, 2002 as the "final" plan that he authorized to be implemented on November 23,
2002. 602 While similar to the plan circulated on November 12,2002, the November 22,2002
plan contained notable differences from the earlier version that contemporaneous documents
indicated had also been approved.
_
(
Although there is evidence that both stress positions and dogs were
used in the Khatani interrogation, the November 22,2002 plan does not mention either ofthese
two techniques. 603 MG Miller said the stress positions and use of dogs were removed from the
plan at his direction. 604
III(
With respect to dogs, MG Miller said that neither LTC Phifer, nor LTC
Beaver objected to the use of dogs and that his ICE Chief, Mr. Becker, actually favored the use
of dogs in interrogations. 605 MG Miller said, however, that he only approved the use of dogs for
security around the perimeter of Camp X-Ray, where the interrogation was to take place, and
that he made that view absolutely clear to Mr. Becker. CAPT Jane Dalton, the Legal Counsel to
the Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff said, however, that she met with MG Miller in early
November and discussed the use of dogs for interrogation purposes. 606 She said that the "theory
was that certain individuals are afraid of dogs" and that, while MG Miller talked about dogs

being outside the interrogation room, they discussed the purpose of the dogs' presence during
interrogations was that it "exploits [the detainee's] fear.,,607

II

(
Mr. Becker told the Committee that MG Miller told him to remove dogs
from the plan.
Nevertheless, a document describing interrogation techniques used in the
Khatani interrogation and a witness account (both discussed below) suggest that dogs were used
during the interrogation to shock and agitate Khatani. 609
II(
With respect to stress positions, Mr. Becker told the Committee that,
notwithstanding the fact that they were included in the earlier plan, there was never an intent to
use stress positions with Khatani. 610 A document that appears to have been produced during the
Khatani interrogation, however, stated that stress positions would "be employed.,,611 In addition,
a 2005 memo from the ITF-GTMO Chief of Staff referencing the 2002 interrogation stated that
Khatani had "slight abrasions caused by stress positions and shackle restraints.,,612

II (

The November 22, 2002 plan identified by MG Miller as the final plan
described five phases to the interrogation. 613 Phase I, which was added after November 12,
called for the interrogators to "Induce and exploit Stockholm Syndrome" by establishing "an
isolated, austere environment where the detainee becomes completely dependent on the
interrogators and the interrogator presents himself as a 'caretaker' of the detainee.,,614 Dr. Gelles
.said that the idea of inducing the Stockholm syndrome implied that '<the subject feels that he is to
be killed and the infonnation provided may in fact be distorted.,,61s
II(
Phase II ofthe November 22, 2002 plan (which is largely the same as Phase
I of the earlier plan) stated that prior to the start of the first Phase II interrogation session,
Khatani's head and beard would be shaved for "safety, hygiene and psychological purposes.,,616
In addition, the plan stated that MG Miller had approved the use of hospital gauze to restrain the
detainee's mouth to prevent him from becoming argumentative and verbally abusive.

Phase III ofthe November 22,2002 plan was largely the same as Phase II of
the earlier plan and proposed having a native linguist translator play the role of a detainee to
elicit information from Khatani. 617
Phase IV ofthe November 22,2002 plan - which described the use of
interrogation techniques based on those used in SERE school to increase u.S. personnel's
resistance to illegal enemy interrogations - was virtually identical to the earlier plan and stated:
The fourth phase of the plan to exploit 063 [Khatani] requires [Office of the
Secretary of Defense] approval for the SERE interrogation technique training and
approval of the level three counter interrogation resistance training submitted by
ITF-GTMO. Once the approvals are in place, those interrogation techniques will
be implemented to encourage 063 to cooperate. The intent of raising the stakes to
this level is to convince 063 that it is futile to resist. Success of Phase III is when
his sense of futility is raised to a high enough level that source gives in and
provides the necessary information. Phase III ends with success or a standstill,
after the exhaustion of all tools ITF GTMO has to offer. 618

II Despite having approved the plan, MG Miller testified to the Army IG that he knew

"little about SERE" and "wasn't comfortable" with SERE techniques. 619 However, MG Miller
acknowledged to the Committee that these techniques were included in the approved plan and
that, if the fIrst three phases of the Khatani plan were unsuccessful, that he was willing to
consider the use of SERE techniques. 620

liThe

plan's final phase, Phase V, maintained the same title "Coalition Exploitation" as
Phase IV ofthe earlier plan but did not explicitly state an intention to render Khatani to a third
country, as did the earlier plan. 621 Instead, under "Coalition Exploitation" the November 22,
2002 plan stated that:
The fifth phase of the plan to exploit 063 will be determined at the national,
interagency level where the future disposition of 063 will be determined. 622

FBI and CITF Continue to Object to Khatani Interrogation Plan (U)

(U) On November 22, 2002 the FBI sent MG Miller a memo that outlined FBI's

continuing concerns about ITF-GTMO interrogation techniques. The FBI also requested a

meeting with the Commander. 628 The memo stated:

Many of [ITF-GTMO's] methods are considered coercive by Federal Law


Enforcement and UCMJ standards. Not only this, but reports from those
knowledgeable about the use of these coercive techniques are highly skeptical as
to their effectiveness and reliability. 629
(U) The memo stated further that the "FBI/CITF strongly believes that the continued use
of diametrically opposed interrogation strategies in GTMO will only weaken our efforts to obtain
valuable infonnation. ,,630
(U) In late November, FBI agents at GTMO asked that their concerns about ITF-GTMO
interrogation techniques be relayed to Marion "Spike" Bowman, a senior attorney in the FBI's
Office of General Counsel. 631 Mr. Bowman said that "[a]s soon as I heard from the [the FBI
agents] I talked with (now retired) Executive Assistant Director Pat D'Amuro who immediately

General Counsel. DoD General Counsel Jim Ha;res said that he did not recall being aware that
the FBI had contacted his office with concerns. 63
(U) On December 2, 2002, an FBI Special Agent, who was also an attorney, sent his own
legal analysis of the October 11,2002 GTMO request to another Special Agent for forwarding to
Mr. Bowman. 634 The FBI Special Agent referred to several techniques - such as all the Category
III techniques and several Category II techniques, including stress positions, hooding, removal of
clothing, 20 hour interrogations, and use of individual phobias (such as fear of dogs) to induce
stress - as "coercive interrogation techniques which are not permitted by the U.S.
Constitution.,,635 The Special Agent's analysis also identified several techniques - including all
Category III techniques and two Category II techniques, Le. hooding and use of phobias - as
"examples of coercive interrogation techniques which may violate 18 U.S.C. 2340, (Torture
Statute)" and warned that "it is possible that those who employ these techniques may be indicted,
prosecuted, and possibly convicted if the trier of fact determines that the user had the requisite
intent.,,636

(U) The following day, Mr. Bowman sent an email to another FBI Special Agent, stating
"[i]t is irrelevant whether these detainees are considered prisoners of war, they are still entitled to
minimal conditions of treatment - many ofthe techniques addressed appear to move well beyond
the minimal requirements ... I concur that we can't control what the military is doing, but we
need to stand well clear of it and get as much information as possible to D' Amuro, Gebhart, and
Mueller as soon as possible.,,637 Director Mueller said that he was not aware of the FBI's
concerns with DoD interrogation techniques at GTMO until May 2004. 638

The DoD Associate Deputy General Counsel for


International Affairs, Eliana Davidson, said that the FBI's Unit Chief believed that efforts at
GTMO were not bein roductive and that he advocated for Khatani's transfer durin the

DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes said he did not


remember discussing the possible rendition of Khatani, but that "it may have been

(U) CITF Deputy Commander Mark Fallon said that FBI proposed to CITF the idea of

rendering Khatani to a third country but that CITF "considered it possibly unlawful" and
opposed the proposal. 649 He said CITF staff made Mr. Cobb aware oftheir concerns and that

(U) The same day the VTC took place, FBI's on-site supervisor and two Special Agents
met with MG Miller where they again raised their concerns about JTF-GTMO interrogation
techniques. 650 One FBI Special Agent told the Committee that MG Miller thanked the FBI
personnel for their views, but told them that JTF-GTMO staffknew what they were doing. 651
(U) On December 9, 2002, another FBI Special Agent who attended the meeting sent an
email stating, "when I return to D.C., I will bring a copy ofthe military's interview plan [for
Khatani] ... You won't believe it!,,652 Several months later he characterized the December 5,
2002 meeting with MG Miller:

Although [MG] Miller acknowledged positive aspects of [the FBI's approach to


interrogations] it was apparent that he favored [JTF-GTMO's] interrogation
methods, despite FBI assertions that such methods could easily result in the
elicitation of unreliable and legally inadmissible information. 653
_ JTF-GTMO ICE Chief David Becker told the Committee that MG Miller asked him
at one point why the JTF was not using the FBI's approach, to which Mr. Becker replied that the
JTF had already tried the FBI approach, that it did not work., and that he wanted to be more
aggressive. 654

Khatani Interrogation Begins, CITF Directed To "Stand Clear" (U)

(U) On November 23, 2002, ITF-GTMO personnel took Khatani to Camp X-Ray to
begin Phase I ofthe interrogation. 655 Two days later, CITF attorney
sent the
GTMO Staff Judge Advocate, LTC Diane Beaver, an email indicating that "CITF is not on board
with aggressive techniques including 20 hour [plus] interrogations. Therefore, according to our
policy, we will 'stand clear' and not offer participation, advisements, support or
recommendations as to its implementation,,656 CITF later drafted formal guidance for its agents
stating that "Detainees will be treated humanely. Physical torture, corporal punishment and
mental torture are not acceptable interrogation tactics and are not allowed under any
circumstances... CITF personnel will not participate in any interrogation that employs tactics
inconsistent with or in direct violation ofthis pOlicy.,,657

Techniques Used During Khatani Inte"ogation (U)

(U) According to

the GTMO BSCT psychiatrist who participated in the


interrogation, just before the Khatani interrogation began, Khatani was "made [to] believe he
stated that Khatani was
was sent to a hostile country which advocated torture.,,658
also "led to believe he himself might be killed ifhe did not cooperate with questioning.,,659 The
actual interrogation took place at GTMO's Cam X-Ra . LTC Phifer told the Committee that
Khatani was taken to X-Ra
IIHowever, an interrogator who participated in the interrogation told the Committee
that part ofthe reason Khatani was taken to X-Ray was to scare him. 661
(U) Khatani was interrogated from November 23,2002 through January 16,2003.662 In
June 2004, SOUTHCOM Commander GEN Hill, described the origin of some ofthe

interrogation techniques used in the interrogation:


The staff at Guantanamo working with behavioral scientists, having gone up to
our SERE school and developed a list of techniques which our lawyers decided
and looked at, said were OK. I sent that list oftechniques up to the Secretary and
said, in order for us to get at some of these very high-profile, high-value targets
who are resistant to techniques, I may need greater flexibility. But I want a legal
review of it and you to tell me that, policywise, it's the right way to do business.
He did that. And he approved additional techniques, which I would not describe
as harsh, but additional techniques and gave them to me the first part of
December. And we began to use a few of those techniques, a few of those
techniques on this individual... 663
_
A memo dated January 17, 2003 also described techniques '"used"
against Khatani between November 23,2002 and January 16,2003, including stripping, forced
grooming, invasion of space by a female interrogator, treating Khatani like an animal, using a
military working dog, and forcing him to pray to an idol shrine. 664

These techniques are similar to techniques used in SERE school. In fact,
JPRA training slides, identified by a JPRA instructor as those presented to interrogation
personnel deploying for GTMO, identified "religious disgrace" and "invasion of personal space
by a female" as methods to defeat resistance. 665 Likewise, JPRA materials identified
"degradation" as a method to defeat resistance, which was understood to include such methods
as stripping the individual, having the guards address the individual as ifthat person were an
"animal" or of "very low status," and controlling use ofthe latrine. 666
_(
The January 17,2003 memo stated that "[s]earch/strip search" was
used on Khatani "for security and to assert control. ,,667 A second document that appears to have
been produced while the Khatani interrogation was ongoing stated that "removal of clothing"
would "be employed" as part of Khatani's interrogation. 668 Despite the contemporaneous
documents suggesting that removal of clothing was used during the interrogation, several senior
JTF-GTMO personnel have said they were unaware of its use as an interrogation technique.

II (

MG Miller told the Committee that he informed his Director for Intelligence,
LTC Phifer, that he opposed the forced removal of clothing as an interrogation technique
and in a 2004 sworn statement stated that "to the best of my knowledge JTF-GTMO
never used [removal of clothing]" during the six week period in late 2002 early 2003
when it was authorized. 669

LTC Phifer and his replacement, COL Richard Sanders (who was given the title of Joint
Intelligence Group (JIG) Commander) told the Committee that they were not aware that
Khatani was strip searched. 670
Both Mr. Becker, the ICE Chief present for the development ofthe Khatani plan, and his
successor Lt Col Ted Moss, who assumed the position when the interrogation was
already underway, told the Committee that they were unaware of Khatani being stripped

The January 17,2003 memo stated that Khatani's head and beard
were shaved "for hygienic purposes and to assert control over the detainee," that Khatani's hands
were shackled to a chair to prevent him from praying, and that pra~er was denied in
circumstances where prayer was ''used as a resistance technique." 72 The memo stated that up to
eight ounces of water was poured over Khatani's head as a "method of asserting control" when
Khatani exhibited ''undesired behavior.,,673 And it said Khatani was forced to "sit, stand, lay
down, walk or other non-stress position activities by guards to enforce the control ofthe
interrogator.,,674 MAJ Burney said that Khatani was "made to stand for several hours at a time or
sit on a hard chair for several hours at a time. 675 The January 17, 2003 memo also stated that
Khatani was ridiculed and berated ''to elicit an adversarial response.,,676
_
The memorandum listed several techniques used to increase Khatani's stress
level including using of a female interrogator who "touch[ed] [Khatani] in close proximi
instructin Khatani ''to ra to idol shrine to test reli ious tern erance and incur,'

_
The memo stated that "K-9 units [were] present during interrogation but
outside of booth to provide barking in order to agitate the detainee and provide shock value. ,,678
One interrogator who participated in the Khatani interrogation told the Committee
that he understood that dogs could be used in a manner consistent with the description in the
January 17, 2003 memo, i.e. they could be present during interrogation but outside the booth in
order to agitate Khatani and provide shock value. 679 The interrogator told the Committee that
during one of his shifts interrogating Khatani, an MP brought a dog to the outside ofthe room in
which the interrogation was taking place and that the MP got the dog to bark. 680 The interrogator
said that he did not ask the MP to do so and told the MP not to do it again.

(U) MAJ Burney, who was present for portions ofthe interrogation, testified to the Army
IG that a dog was brought into the Khatani interrogation during late November or early
December an estimated "half dozen times.,,681 MAJ Burney testified:

[The] dog was never allowed to bite the detainee but would be ordered to bark
loudly close to the detainee, to sort of sniff or muzzle the detainee, to put paws up
on the detainee. 682
(U) MAl Burney said that interrogators stopped using the dog "not because anybody had
necessarily objected to [the use ofthe dog]," but because ''the initial shock value had worn off"
and "it just wasn't felt to be effective anymore.,,683 None ofthe other witnesses interviewed by
the Committee stated that they were aware of a dog being brought into the interrogation booth.

during an in~, either a guard or an interrogator suggested that a dog be used to scare
Khatani. 684 _ s a i d that he informed Mr. Becker, who intervened before the dogs were
used. 685
(U) As discussed above, MG Miller told the Committee that dogs were present at Camp
X-Ray solely for securing the perimeter and that he was absolutely clear with ICE Chief David
Becker that dogs were not to be used in interrogations. 686 He testified to the Army IG that he
"rejected [using dogs in interrogations] as an acceptable technique" and that dogs "were not to be
used during active interrogation. ,,687 In written answers to questions posed by Vice Admiral
Church, however, the Director for Intelligence, LTC Phifer stated that dogs were used in the
Khatani interrogation and that "We would bring the dog around to within 10 feet [of Khatani]
and he would be somewhat unnerved by it. We did it to keep him off balance as well as to
enhance security.,,688 Despite the testimony ofthe BSCT psychiatrist and LTC Phifer, Mr.
Becker stated that the Commander "refused to allow dogs" in interrogations while he was in
command of ITF-GTMO and told the Committee that dogs were not at the Khatani
interrogation. 689

A Joint Staff Action Processing Form shows that_request was
endorsed by JPRA, JFCOM, Joint Staff, and the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy's office
and approved on November 12, 2002. 693 The Chief of JPRA's Operational Support Office
(OSO) Christopher Wirts "received the approved requirement [for training] from JFCOM DSSO
[Defense Sensitive Support Office] and [Joint Staff] DSSO" and subsequently informed three
JPRA personnel that the requirement for training included a lesson in "physical pressures,
techniques used in DoD [SERE] training" and "practical exercise[s] in interrogation and physical
pressures.,,694

~ The training took place at the


facility in mid-to-Iate November
2002. 6 Three JPRA personnel conducted the multi-day training session and Mr. Wirts attended
part of a one day session. 696 According to Joseph Witsch, the JPRA instructor who led the
training, the instructors followed the JFCOM and Joint Staff-approved requirement and
instructed_ interrogators on physical pressures used on students at SERE school. 697
_
The training session also included a demonstration of physical pressures. 698 This
was in accordance with the requirement, approved b~ JFCOM and Joint Staff, for "practical
exercise[s] in interrogation and physical pressures." 99 Mr. Witsch recalled that he "participated
in a couple ofthose demonstrations," which included role play sessions, where JPRA personnel
demonstrated the SERE physical pressur~ck interrogation[s].,,7oo Another JPRA

thought that would be improper" because "[i]t would cause physical damage, permanent physical
damage to an individual. And I think that that would be totally inappropriate to do to anybody,

("Water Board
The student is subjected to interrogation while strapped to a specially rigged, flat, wooded
surface about four by seven feet with quick release bindings which will neither chafe nor cut when the student is
strapped to the board. Two canteen cups (one pint each) of water may be slowly poured directly onto the student's
face from a height of about twelve inches throughout the interrogation. No attempt will be made to direct the stream
of water into the student's nostrils or mouth. NO CHEST OR STOMACH pressure may be used to compel the
student to breath in any water. If a cloth is placed over the student's face, it will remain in place for a maximum
time of TWENTY seconds, with a hospital corpsman instructor holding 1he face cloth in place. The cloth may
be applied only twice in this manner to any given student. A student may be threatened at a later time with the water
board and may even be strapped to the board again but under no circumstances may water actually be applied. The

A.

Secretary ofDefense Authorizes Aggressive Techniques for use at GTMO

(U) On November 27, 2002, Mr. Haynes sent a memo to Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld recommending that the Secretary authorize the Commander of SOUTHCOM to
employ, at his discretion, all Category I and II techniques and one Category III technique (''use
of mild, non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking in the chest with the finger, and
light pushing") in the JTF-GTMO October 11,2002 request. 717
(U) Mr. Haynes's memo stated that he had discussed the issue with Deputy Secretary of
Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Doug Feith, and Chairman ofthe
Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) General Richard Myers and that they concurred with his
recommendation 718 According to Mr. Haynes, his recommendation came after the Secretary of
Defense expressed "some exasperation that he didn't have a recommendation" on the October
11,2002 GTMO request and told his senior advisors "I need a recommendation.,,719

(U) Mr. Haynes's memo concluded that while "all Category III techniques may be legally
available, we believe that a blanket approval of Category III techniques is not warranted at this
time.,,720 While the CJCS, General Myers, said that he "did not recall seeing the November 27,
2002 memo before it was presented to the Secretary," his Legal Counsel, CAPT Dalton, said that
she and the Chairman were "satisfied with" the techniques that were recommended to the
Secretary for approval. 721 CAPT Dalton also said, however, that she did not think the statement
in the DoD General Counsel's memo that "all Category III techniques may be legally available"
''was an appropriate legal analysis.,,722 She did not raise that concern with the Chairman. 723
(U) Mr. Haynes stated that he "probably" read LTC Beaver's legal analysis ofthe request
prior to making his recommendation but that he could not recall his opinion of it. 724 He could
not recall whether he asked anyone on his staffto review or comment on the analysis or whether
his office conducted its own legal review. 725
(U) As discussed above, General HilI, the SOUTHCOM Commander, had requested in
his October 25,2002 memorandum that Department of Justice and Department of Defense
lawyers review Category III techniques included in the October 11, 2002 GTMO request. 726
While the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLe) had issued an opinion on
August 1,2002 evaluating standards of conduct for interrogations required under the anti-torture
statute, Mr. Haynes testified in July 2006 that he "did not have a copy" ofthat opinion and that
the OLC "had not expressed a view [to him] at that time. 727 In April 2008, however, Mr. Haynes
stated that it was "very, very likely" that he had read the OLC opinion prior to making his
recommendation to the Secretary and recalled it being "very permissive.,,728 Two months later,
in June 2008, Mr. Haynes testified that he did not "remember when he ftrst read" the OLC
memo. 729 The General Counsel said that he did not know whether anyone in his office consulted
the Department of Justice about the October 11, 2002 GTMO request and he did not believe OOJ
reviewed the techniques "in the context of [the GTMO] request." 730
(U) Other than his November 27, 2002 memo to Secretary Rumsfeld recommending that
the techniques be approved, Mr. Haynes said that he "did not write anything down" to support

his legal analysis. 731 GTMO Staff Judge Advocate Diane Beaver stated that she "fully expected"
that her legal review would be 'carefully reviewed by legal and policy experts at the highest
levels before a decision was reached" and was "shocked" that her opinion became the opinion
upon which the Department of Defense relied. 732 LTC Beaver stated that she did not expect that
her opinion "would become the final word on interrogation policies and practices within the
Department of Defense" and that for her "such a result was simply not foreseeable." 733 She
stated that she "did not expect to be the only lawyer issuing a written opinion on this
monumentally important issue" and that in hindsight, could not "help but conclude that others
chose not to write on this issue to avoid being linked to it.,,734
(U) Despite the fact that his memo recommended the Secretary of Defense authorize the
use of aggressive interrogation techniques including stress positions, deprivation of light and
auditory stimuli, hooding, removal of clothing, the use of dogs to induce stress, and pushing and
poking detainees, Mr. Haynes stated that he was not recommending blanket approval of other
aggressive techniques in the GTMO request (like the use of a wet towel and dripping water to
induce the misperception of drowning) because "Our Anned Forces are trained to a standard of
interrogation that reflects a tradition of restraint."735
(U) While several techniques included in the request were similar to techniques used in
SERE training and provided by JPRA to the General Counsel's office in the July 26,2002
memo, Mr. Haynes said that he did not "specifically recall" making a connection between the
request and SERE. 736 In comments submitted to the DoD IG's August 25,2006 report, the DoD
General Counsel's office even stated that "There is no evidence that SERE techniques were ever
adopted at Guantanamo or anywhere else.,,737 Those comments were submitted two years after
the SOUfHCOM Commander, General Hill, had said that ''the staff at Guantanamo" had
traveled to "SERE school," where they "developed a list of techniques ..." and despite the fact
that some ofthe techniques in the October 11,2002 GTMO request were specifically identified
as ''those used in U.S. military interrogation resistance training.,,738
(U) Mr. Haynes said that he raised legal concerns about the October 11, 2002 GTMO
request with the Secretary prior to making his recommendation. 739 On December 2, 2002,

given authority to use all Categories I and II techniques and one Category III technique in
interrogations at GTMO. 740 In approving the techniques, the Secretary added a handwritten note
at the bottom of the memo that questioned one of the limitations in the ITF-GTMO request, 741
In reference to ''the use of stress positions (like standing) for a maximum of four hours," the
Secretary wrote: "However, I stand for 8-10 hours a day. Why is standing limited to 4 hours?,,742

Despite having previously approved the Khatani plan, which included a phase to
employ Category III techniques, MG Geoffrey Miller told the Committee that shortly after the
authorization was issued, he told the SOUTHCOM Commander that he did not intend to use the
Category III techniques at GTMO. 743
(U) However, following the Secretary of Defense's December 2,2002 authorization,
ITF-GTMO senior staffbegan developing standard operating procedures to implement stress
positions, stripping detainees, and non-injurious physical contact, such as pushing and poking
detainees, all of which were authorized by the Secretary of Defense. The CITF Special Agent in
Charge at GTMO, Timothy James, said that when he saw the Secretary's authorization, he was

This SOP document promulgates procedures to be followed by JTF-GTMO


personnel engaged in interrogation operations on detained persons. The premise
behind this is that the interrogation tactics used at U.S. military SERE schools are
appropriate for use in real-world interrogations. These tactics and techniques are
used at SERE school to 'break' detainees. The same tactics and techniques can be
used to break real detainees during interrogation operations.
... Note that all tactics are strictly intended to be non-lethal. 748
(D) The December 18, 2002 draft stated that "interrogators will undergo training by
certified SERE instructors prior to being approved for use of any of the techniques described in
this document" and stated that the draft SOP was "applicable to military and civilian
interrogators assigned to Joint Task Force Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.,,749
(U) In addition, the December 18, 2002 draft included a section describing "interrogation
control and safety" that listed safeguards to "avoid injuries to the detainee, especially his head
and/or neck" and stated that a "corpsman or medic should be onsite, and a doctor on-call should
medical care be necessary.,,750 The December 18,2002 draft was unsigned but contained
signature blocks for the JTF-GTMO's new ICE Chief, Lt Col Moss, the new JIG Commander,
COL Sanders, and the JTF-GTMO Commander, MG Miller.
II(
Under "Degradation Tactics" the draft SOPs described the "shoulder slap,"
the "insult slap," the "stomach slap," and "stripfting," all of which were included in the Secretary
of Defense's December 2, 2002 authorization. 7 1

(
Regarding the shoulder slap, John Rankin, a Navy SERE Training Specialist
who reviewed the draft SOPs at the time, noted that the SOPs' description of the shoulder slap
differed from the technique as applied at the Navy SERE school. 752 The Navy instruction
,,753
manual described the shoulder slap
However, the draft GTMO SOPs described the shoulder slap as

(
The draft SOPs described how to administer "insult slap[s]" and "stomach
slap[s]" to "shock and intimidate the detainee."m The draft SOPs explained that the use of
"stripping" involved the "forceful removal of detainees' c1othing.,,756 The drafts also stated that

(
Under "Physical Debilitation Tactics" th~ draft SOPs described various
stress positions and said the purpose of using them was to" unish detainees."758 Among the
stress ositions listed was the "kneelin osition,'

The draft SERE SOPs described a number of other techniques including


_ (
hooding; "manhandling," described as "pulling or pushing a detainee," and "walling," described
as "placing a detainee forcibly against a specially constructed wall.,,762 According to the draft
SOPs, the purpose of walling was to "physically intimidate a detainee.,,763
(U) In an email sent shortly after the December 14, 2002 staff meeting where LTC Phifer
provided him the draft SOP, CITF Special Agent in Charge Timothy James said that LTC Phifer
briefed MG Miller and his staff on the draft SOP at the meeting. 764
Several senior GTMO staff reviewed drafts ofthe GTMO SERE SOP. On December
14, LTC Beaver sent an email to LTC Phifer, U Col Moss (the newly arrived ICE Chief) and
members ofthe GTMO Behavioral Science Consultation Team (BSCT) proposing changes to the
draft SERE SOP. 765 LTC Beaver recommended:
[S]trictly prohibiting use of force to the head such as when detainee looks away.
Pressure to head and neck must be avoided. Guiding chin up with two fmgers for
example or using other techniques to make detainee comply. This would avoid
inadvertent injury... We can gain some control with use of pressure to shoulder
and arms or upper body and less charge of injury to face, neck or head. 766

(U) LTC Beaver later testified to the Committee that she might have recalled seeing a
SERE SOP at the time but that she "had nothing to do" with drafting the December 18, 2002
version of the SOP and did not participate at all in drafting it. 767

II On December 16,2002, BSCT psychiatrist MAJ Paul Burney responded to LTC


Beaver's email, stating that "ifthese techniques are employed at GTMO, our training/preparation
must match that of the instructors who are allowed to use these same techniques at SERE
school.,,768 MAJ Burney described some ofthe requirements for SERE instructors, such as
having them "go through SERE school themselves," ''undergo strict psychiatric screening," and
be strictly supervised while doing their jobs at the SERE school. 769 MAJ Burney said that "there
are still times when instructors go a bit too far and have to be redirected by other instructors.
The SERE school takes this training VERY seriously. It clearly is not a see one, do one, teach
one kind of situation"770 The psychiatrist warned:
The environment down here is much different than at SERE school. There is not
a cadre of experienced SERE instructors. The interrogators have not gone
through SERE school or been subjected to this treatment themselves. There is not
a psychiatric screening process in place. The interrogators are away from home,
family, friends and are under a lot more stress than SERE instructors at the SERE
school. The detainees being questioned are the enemy and are not U.S. personnel
posing as the enemy... All these factors make using this kind of pressure much
more dangerous in this environment compared to at the SERE school. 771

_As

to the utility ofthe SERE resistance techniques, MAJ Burney also stated that "[i]t
is quite possible that employing these techniques exactly as employed in SERE school may
actually strengthen a detainee's ability to resist interrogation rather than overcome it."772 MAJ
Burney stated that he was "not suggesting that the use of physical pressures should be totally
abandoned," but recommended that they should bring an experienced senior SERE trainer to
GTMO to discuss the issue stating "the interrogation element feels these tools will greatly assist
the interrogations process. It would be very interesting to me to know if senior SERE trainers...
agree with this assessment or not."773 MAJ Burney also recommended that, if IfF-GTMO
determined the techniques might be effective, then they should institute the same screening
processes that SERE schools use and that SERE school instructors be "sent to GTMO to help
with the interrogation process.,,774

(U) Mr. Becker, the ICE Chiefwho left GTMO in December 2002, told the Committee
that prior to his departure he had begun drafting the SOP and had discussed it with LTC
Phifer. 775
(U) As discussed above, contemporaneous documents suggest that LTC Phifer gave a
copy ofthe draft SERE SOP to Timothy James, the CITF Special Agent in Charge, and briefed
the draft to a JTF-GTMO staff meeting. 776 LTC Phifer was also a recipient ofthe December 14,
2002 email from LTC Beaver that proposed changes to the draft SERE SOP.777 However, LTC
Phifer testified to the Army IG that he had "never heard of [the SOP] or saw [the SOP]."778 He
later told the Committee that he did not recall the SOP or the December 14, 2002 staff meeting
and said that he would not have been comfortable briefing the SOP. 779
(U) LTC Phifer was replaced on or about December 17, 2002 by COL Richard Sanders,
who was given the title of Joint Intelligence Group (nG) Commander. 780 COL Sanders, whose
signature block was included on the December 18, 2002 draft SERE SOP, did not recall seeing
the SOP, but said he vaguely recalled discussions about it. 781 Lt Col Moss, the new ICE Chief
whose signature block was also on the draft SERE SOP, told the Committee that he recalled the
draft SOP but that he never signed it. 782
(U) LTC Beaver told the Committee that she did not know who directed the development
ofthe SOP and could not recall whether she discussed it with MG Miller. 783 MAJ Burney told
the Committee that he recalled being provided a copy ofthe Navy SERE school's SOP but did
not recall seeing a document drafted by GTMO personnel. 784

IIDespite having approved an interrogation plan that included SERE techniques and

he had no knowledge of it. 786 MG Miller later told the Committee that he did not recall being
briefed on the draft SOP. 787 As noted above, he also told the Committee that he opposed stress
positions, removal of clothing, and the use of non-injurious physical contact - all techniques
described in the draft SERE SOP - and that he had made his opposition clear to his staff prior to
the time that the SOPs were drafted. 788
(U) In response to LTC Phifer's request for comments on the draft SERE SOP, CITF
raised concerns about the SOP verbally to LTC Phifer and drafted written comments about the
SOP. 789 A draft ofCITF's written comments (which they coordinated with FBI) was addressed
to LTC Phifer and stated:

[There is a] fundamental difference between the military and [CITF and FBI]
regarding which style of interrogation should be used... the military model is
based on SERE tactics ...This school teaches coercion and aggressive
interrogation techniques as a way to "break" soldiers who are being trained in
methods to resist interrogation by a foreign power... [CITF and FBI~ believe
these techniques discourage, rather than encourage, detainee cooperation. 90
(U) CITF and FBI also argued that the use ofthe methods "only serves to reinforce" the
negative perception ofthe detainees toward Americans and would create "real potential for
mistreatment" of detainees. 791 CITF and FBI called the SERE techniques "unsuitable" and
"ineffective" and said there were "serious concerns about the legal implications ofthe
techniques.,,792
(U) On December 18, 2002, CITF Special Agent in Charge Timothy James sent an email
to Mr. Fallon stating "at this moment the ITF-GTMO staff is working the SOP issue, and [MG
Miller] will most likely make a decision in the next day or SO.,,793
(U) Individuals interviewed by the Committee stated that the SOP was never signed or

SERE School Trainers Provide Instruction/or GTMO Interrogators (U)

(U) On December 30, 2002, a SERE Training Specialist, John Rankin, and a SERE
Coordinator, Christopher Ross from the Navy SERE school in Brunswick, Maine arrived at
GTMOto "provide [ITF-GTMO Interrogation Control Element] personnel with the theory and
application ofthe physical pressures utilized during [Navy SERE school] training evolutions.,,795
U Col Moss told the Committee that his predecessor, Mr. Becker, had invited the SERE school
trainers to GTMo. 796 MG Miller told the Committee that he was aware ofthe visit. 797
(U) The trainers arrived on December 30, 2002 and met with Lt Col Moss and the ICE
Operations Officer. 798 Lt Col Moss told them that "a high level directive had initiated [their]
subsequent trip for the purpose of providing 'physical pressures' training." According to the
SERE Training Specialist, John Rankin, that directive was a letter from the Secretary of Defense
799
which was shown to him by Lt Col Moss.
Lt Col Moss also ~ave the two Navy SERE school
personnel a copy ofthe December 18,2002 draft SERE SOP. 80
(U) The next day, the two Navy SERE school instructors led training for GTMO
interrogators and other ICE personnel at Camp Delta.801 The training included instruction on
"Biderman's Principles," including lessons from a chart that was originally included in a 1957
article about how communists elicited false confessions. 802
(U) The training also consisted of both lectures and instruction on the application of
physical pressures. 803 The SERE Training Specialist John Rankin told the Committee that the
instructors showed interrogators how to administer the insult slap, the shoulder slap, the stomach
slap and demonstrated at least one stress position. 804 Mr. Rankin also said that they discussed the
'195 Memorandum from John Rankin and Christopher Ross to Officer in Charge, FASOTRAGRULANr Det

walling technique but did not demonstrate it because the facility lacked the specially constructed
wall used at SERE school. 805 Two IfF-GTMO interrogators who attended the training stated
that, following the demonstration, the interrogators broke off into pairs and practiced slapping
each other. 806
(U) Two interrogators who attended the training said that they understood that the
techniques were available for interrogators to put in their ''toolbox.,,807 One ofthose
interrogators recalled being told that if interrogators wanted to use the techniques, they would
need to notifY their interrogation team chief. 808 A third interrogator who attended the training
told the Committee that he believed Lt Col Moss said the techniques could not be used while
they were pending approval.809
(U) The JIG Commander, COL Sanders, testified to the Army IG that he attended the
initial portion ofthe training and "made it quite clear, at least I believe I made it quite clear [to
the interrogators] ... the use of physical measures was not one ofthe things that we should
consider was appropriate and would not be ~ermitted. ,,810 COL Sanders also testified that he
expressed the same concerns to MG Miller. 11 Those statements are inconsistent with the
recollections of others.
(U) Ofthe three interrogators interviewed by the Committee who attended the training,
none recalled COL Sanders making such a statement. 812 Lt Col Moss, the ICE Chief at the time,
did not recall COL Sanders being present at the training. 813 MG Miller told the Committee that
no one on his staff expressed concern to him about the training. 814
(U) On the morning of January 2,2003 the Navy SERE school personnel presented
additional instruction on interrogation fundamentals and resistance to interrogation. 815 Later that
day the instructors "presented an abbreviated theoretical physical pressures and peacetime
guidance (government and hostage) to Marine IfF-GTMO personnel and two IfF-GTMO Staff

Judge Advocate (SJA) officials.,,816 LTC Beaver told the Committee that she was not aware the
SERE instructors were coming to GTMO and did not attend any ofthe sessions. 817
(U) In the weeks following the Secretary of Defense's December 2,2002 authorization of
the interrogation techniques, word had spread that serious concerns were emerging about the
techniques. In mid-to-Iate December, prior to the SERE trainers' arrival at GTMO, General Hill,
the SOUTHCOM Commander, alerted MG Miller that a debate had ensued regarding the
Secretary's decision to authorize the techniques. 818
(U) Prior to their departure on January 3, 2003, the two Navy SERE instructors met with
MG Miller. 819 The GTMO Commander told the Committee that he informed the SERE
instructors, in the presence of his staff, that he did not want the techniques they had demonstrated
used in interrogations at GTMO. 820 Others who attended the meeting confIrmed the
Commander's account. 821 Mr. Rankin told the Committee that MG Miller said that he did not
want interrogators using techniques that might "bite them" later on. 822

. (
Before leaving, Mr. Rankin provided a memo for the ICE Operations Chief
on the use ofphysical and psychological pressures during interrogations. The memo stated:
[The] use of physical and psychological pressures during interrogations, if
deemed appropriate, are tools that can be applied in order to establish and
reinforce [Biderman's] principles... these principles and associated pressures
allow the interrogation system to establish and maintain control of the
exploitation process... The application of physical pressures is only part of the
overall captive management process. They are initially used to shock and
intimidate by setting the stage and establishing control. There must be a
statement made by demonstrating there are rewards and punishments for
compliant and combative or resistive behavior.823

(NCIS), and Air Force Office of Special Investigations. While CITF's Commander COL Britt
Mallow was an Army Colonel assigned to CITF from CID, Deputy Commander Mark Fallon
was an NCIS civilian employee on detail to the CITF. While COL Mallow reported concerns
about ITF-GTMO interrogation techniques through his Army chain of command, Mr. Fallon also
brought the concerns to NCIS leadership. 824
(U) On December 17, 2002, two weeks after the Secretary authorized the interrogation
techniques for use at GTMO and with the Khatani interrogation underway, David Brant, the
NCIS Director informed Navy General Counsel Alberto Mora about recent objections raised by
CITF. 825 The next day, Mr. Mora met with NCIS Chief Psychologist Dr. Michael Gelles, who
had been to GTMO and was familiar with the interrogation techniques in use there. Dr. Gelles
provided Mr. Mora excerpts of interrogation logs reflecting detainee mistreatment. Dismayed by
what he read and heard, Mr. Mora met with Steven Morello, the Army General Counsel, and for
the first time had the opportunity to review the October 11,2002 GTMO request, LTC Beaver's
legal analysis, and the Secretary of Defense's December 2, 2002 authorization of interrogation
techniques for use in GTMO interrogations, which included stress positions, removal of clothing,
dogs, deprivation of light and auditory stimuli, 20 hour interrogations, forced grooming, and
grabbing, pushi~ and poking detainees. 826 Mr. Mora testified to the Committee: "[W]hen I saw
the December 2 Rumsfeld memo, and then reviewed Lieutenant Colonel Beaver's legal
memorandum, when I saw that the memorandum was completely unbounded concerning the
limit of abuse that could be applied to the detainees, I knew instantaneously ... that this was a
flawed policy based upon inadequate legal analysis.,,827
(U) The following day, Mr. Mora briefed Navy Secretary Gordon England on the NCIS
report of detainee mistreatment and received authorization to meet with DoD General Counsel
Jim Haynes. 828 That afternoon, Mr. Mora met with Mr. Haynes and advised him that in his view
"some ofthe authorized techniques could rise to the level oftorture.,,829 He recalled urging the
DoD General Counsel to "think. about the techniques more closely" questioning him "What did
'deprivation oflight and auditory stimuli' mean? Could a detainee be locked in a completely
dark cell? And for how long? A month? Longer? What precisely did the authority to exploit
phobias pennit? Could a detainee be held in a coffm? Could phobias be applied until madness
set in?,,8~O

(U) Mr. Mora also urged Mr. Haynes not to rely on LTC Beaver's legal analysis,
characterizing it as "an incompetent product oflegal analysis.',s31 Mr. Mora left the meeting
feeling confident that the Secretary's authorization for interrogation techniques would be
suspended. 832

(U) More than two weeks later, on January 6,2003, the NCIS Director informed Mr.
Mora that the Secretary's December 2,2002 memo had not been suspended and that detainee
mistreatment was continuing at GTMO. 833 Two days later, Mr. Mora met with a Special
Assistant to both the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense and informed
him ofthe concerns. On January 9,2003, Mr. Mora met again with DoD General Counsel Jim
Haynes, warning him that the "interrogation policies could threaten Secretary Rumsfeld's tenure
and could even damage the presidency.',834 The Navy General Counsel also left Mr. Haynes
with a draft copy of a memo written by a Navy JAG Corps Commander, Stephen Gallotta. 835

II

In that memo, CDR Gallotta summarized and attached comments that the military
Services had submitted in November 2002 in response to the Joint Staff request. 836 CDR
Gallotta's memo also assessed the legality ofthe techniques, concluding that several ofthe
techniques "may violate the President's policy for the treatment of detainees," may violate
international legal standards, and may violate the federal anti-torture statute (18 U.S.C. 2340)
and various articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).837

II In his January 9,2003 memo, CDR Gallotta concluded:


Category III techniques that threaten death to the detainee or his family (#1) or
which create the misapprehension of suffocation (#3) would likely be judged to
constitute torture under the statute and customary intemationallaw. They reflect
conduct specifically defmed as torture in [18 U.S.C.] 2340 and recognized as
torture in international law. Category III, technique #4, mild, non-injurious
grabbing and poking, is an assault under the UCMJ. Absent lawful purpose, these
techniques may be per se unlawful.
Category II techniques could also, depending in their implementation, i.e.,
frequency of use, degree of pain inflicted, or combinations of techniques, rise to a

level where they could be detennined to be torture. Thus, additional analysis with
specific guidance for implementation is recommended. 838
(U) On January 15,2003, "uncertain whether there would be any change to the
interrogation policy," Mr. Mora delivered a draft memorandum to Mr. Haynes stating that "the
majority of the proposed category II and all ofthe proposed category III techniques were
violative of domestic and international legal norms in that they constituted, at a minimum, cruel
and unusual treatment and, at worst, torture.,,839 In a phone call that same day, Mr. Mora told the
DoD General Counsel that he intended to sign the memo that afternoon ifhe had not heard that
the Secretary's December 2, 2002 memo for interrogation techniques had been or was being
suspended. 84o According to Mr. Mora, Mr. Haynes indicated during their conversations that
"Secretary Rumsfeld was 'considerin~' rescinding the interrogation techniques he had previously
authorized for use in Guantanamo.,,84 In light of Mr. Mora's draft memo, Mr. Haynes also
indicated that he would inquire further about the "Secretary's promise to 'consider' the
withdrawal ofthe interrogation techniques.,,842 Mr. Haynes called Mr. Mora later that day to tell
him the Secretary had suspended his authorization for interrogation techniques. 843
(U) On January 15,2003, the Secretary of Defense issued a memorandum for GEN Hill,
the SOUTHCOM Commander, rescinding blanket authority for one Category III and all
Category II techniques at GTMO. 844 GEN Hill said that Secretary Rumsfeld had called him days
before fonnally rescinding authority for the techniques on January 15,2003 and asked whether
the interrogation should continue. GEN Hill said that he told the Secretary that he "would
discuss the question with MG Miller, did so that day and reported back to [Secretary Rumsfeld]
recommending we continue the interrogation.,,845 According to GEN Hill, Secretary Rumsfeld
agreed at that time that the interrogation should continue but subsequently called him back and
directed that it be stopped. 846
(U) Just days after the Secretary of Defense rescinded authority for ITF-GTMO to use the
interrogation techniques he had authorized in December, CITF's Deputy Commander Mark
Fallon and NCIS Chief Psychologist Michael Gelles met with MG Miller to discuss their
concerns about interrogation approaches. Mr. Fallon said MG Miller was "dismissive" oftheir

if you want to be on the team. ",847
_Following the Secretary's rescission, Khatani was moved out of Camp X_Ray.848
Beginning on January 15,2003 only Category I techniques were used in his interrogation.
Category I techniques included yelling and techniques of deception. An April 19, 2003 memo
from MG Miller the GTMO Commander said that on A ril 9 2003

" interrogators and analysts attributed his cooperation to his failing a polygraph test,
his being told that his information was becoming less important because other members of al

E. National Security Council (NSC) Principals Discuss DoD Interrogations


(U) In a June 9, 2008 letter to the DoJ Inspector General, John Bellinger the former NSC
Legal Advisor, stated that he "repeatedly asked the Defense Department about conditions and
detention policies at Guantanamo Bay" and that he "specifically raised concerns about
interrogations practices used at Guantanamo, including concerns raised by the Department of
Justice. ,,851
(U) Mr. Bellinger told the Committee that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Bruce
Swartz raised concerns with him "about allegations of abuse of detainees at Guantanamo.,,852
Mr. Bellinger said that Mr. Swartz called him on "several occasions" to express his concerns and
that, in response, he "raised these concerns on several occasions with DoD officials and was told
that the allegations were being investigated by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.,,853 He
said that then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice "convened a series of meeting of
NSC Principals in order to ensure that concerns about conditions and other issues relating to
Guantanamo were fully discussed with the Department of Defense and other agencies.,,854

(U) Secretary Rice confirmed Mr. Bellinger's account, stating that he advised her "on a
regular basis" regarding concerns and issues relating to Department of Defense detention policies
and practices at Guantanamo. 855 She said that, as a result she "convened a series of meetings of

VIII. New Interrogation Policy Developed for GTMO (U)


(U) When he rescinded authority for GTMO to use aggressive interrogation techniques,
Secretary Rumsfeld directed the DoD General Counsel to set up a "Detainee Interrogation
Working Group" within the Department "to assess the legal, policy, and operational issues
relating to the interrogations of detainees held by the United States Armed Forces in the war on
terrorism.,,857
(U) Two days later, on January 17,2003, Mr. Haynes directed Air Force General Counsel
Mary Walker to convene the Working GrOUp.858 Per the Secretary's guidance, the Working
Group was comprised of representatives from the Office ofthe Undersecretary ofDefense
(Policy), the Defense Intelligence Agency, the General Counsels ofthe Air Force, Army, and
Navy, and Counsel to the Commandant ofthe Marine Corps, the Judge Advocates General ofthe
Air Force, Army, and Navy, the Staff Judge Advocate for the Marine Corps, and the Joint Staff

Working Group's senior JAG officers and their civilian counterparts. 864 He told the Committee
that he was asked about aggressive techniques and was encouraged to talk about techniques that
inflict pain. 865 He also said that he advised the Working Group to consider SERE resistance
training techniques. 866

_The

Working Group tasked DIA with providing a list of interrogation techniques and
their effectiveness so that the Group could assess their legality.867 DIA relied on Mr. Becker to
produce that list. 868

Mr. Becker compiled a list of36 techniques for the Working GrOUp.869 The list

included techniques from Army Field Manual 34-52; techniques from Category II ofthe October
11, 2002 GTMO request, including stress positions, isolation, deprivation of light and auditory
stimuli, hooding, 20 hour interrogations, forced grooming, and use ofphobias, such as dogs; and

detainee that death or severely painful consequences are imminent, exposure to cold weather or
water, use of a wet towel and dripping water, and the use of mild, non-injurious physical

Becker's memo identified each technique, assessed its effectiveness, and in some instances, also
assessed legal and policy considerations. 872
_
(
Mr. Becker's memo stated that the Category III techniques from the
October 11,2002 GTMO request were '"the most aggressive and controversial" techniques. 873
Mr. Becker stated that the techniques were "currently used against U.S. soldiers in SERE
schools, with their consent," but that they would "not comport with the Geneva Conventions" if
applied to Prisoners of War (POWs). 874 His memo recommended that the Working Group
conduct a policy review on the "reciprocity oftreatment of captured U.S. personnel" before
implementing any ofthe Category III techniques. 87s Mr. Becker said that attorneys who
consulted with him on the memo added this recommendation. 876

to list every possible interrogation approach. ,,881 His memo stated that "drugs such as sodium
pentothal and demerol may be used with some effectiveness," that female interrogators could be
used to make the detainee feel ''unclean,'' and that "sleep deprivation" can be effective. 882 Mr.

"[1] Use of Drugs: Drugs such as sodium pentothal and demero1 may be used with some
effectiveness. Significant policy issues must be resolved. [2] Use of Female Interrogators: One al-Qaida resistance
method is to pray during interrogations. Prayer is only allowed if the detainee is clean.' Having a woman rub
scented oil on the detainee's arms and face makes the detainee perceive that he is unclean and he cannot pray until
he cleans himself, which he is unable to do until he returns to his cell. The use of female interrogators to put oil on a
detainee does not exceed limits already established by DoD policy or the Geneva Conventions. [3] Sleep
Deprivation: This can be effective; however there are obvious policy considerations. Guidelines as to the use of
sleep deprivation would have to be established." List of interrogation techniques compiled by DIA at 4.

21, 2003 on the effectiveness oftechniques that had been rescinded by the Secretary of Defense
earlier that month. 885 In his memo, MG Miller stated that "[t]he command must have the ability
to conduct interrogations using a wide variety oftechniques" and listed nine techniques as
"essential to mission success." Those nine included use of an isolation facility; interrogating the
detainee in an environment other than the standard interrogation room at Camp Delta such as
Camp X-Ray; varying levels of deprivation of light and auditory stimuli to include the use ofa
white room for up to three days; the use of up to 20-hour interrogations; the use of a hood during
transportation and movement; removal of all comfort items (including religious items); serving
of meals ready to eat (MREs) instead of hot rations; forced grooming, to include shaving of
facial hair and head; and the use of false documents and reports. 886
_
MG Miller's January 21, 2003 memo stated that he believed that those nine
techniques were lawful and stated:
These techniques are not intended to cause gratuitous, severe, physical pain or
suffering or prolonged mental harm, but are instead intended to induce
cooperation over a period of time by weakening the detainee's mental and
physical ability to resist. 887

_MG

Miller attached another memo to his January 21,2003 memo for General
Hill. That attached memo, also dated January 21, 2003 and entitled "Methods Employed X-Ray
Interrogation ofISN 63," bore the same title as a memo dated January 17,2003. (The earlier
memo is described in detail above). Despite describing the same events and being written just
days apart, the January 21, 2003 and the January 17,2003 memos contain substantive
differences.
_(
Several interrogation techniques that the January 17,2003 memo
identified as techniques used in the Khatani interrogation were omitted from the January 21,
2003 version. Among the techniques left out ofthe latter memo were "fhysical posturing,"
"search/strip search," and the presence of"K-9 military police" dogs. 88 In addition, the
description of certain techniques differed in the two versions ofthe memo. For example, in the
latter version, "denial of prayer" was removed and replaced with "postponement of prayer" and

III CENTCOM sent the Working Group's request for a list oftechniques to CITF-180, in
Afghanistan. In response, LTC Robert Cotell, the CJTF-180 Deputy Staff Judge Advocate (SJA)
produced a memo on January 24, 2003 describing "current and past" interrogation techniques
used by CJTF-180 interrogators. 89o LTC Cotell's memo was sent to the Working Group and to
the Office ofthe Secretary ofDefense. 891
_ (
LTC Cotell's January 24,2003 memo stated that "[p]rior to their rescission,
CJTF-180 used selected techniques contained in SOlITHCOM's [Category] II and III
techniques. ,,892 He identified interrogation techniques used by CJTF-180, including up to 96
hours of isolation; the use of female interrogators to create "discomfort" and gain more
information; sleep adjustment, defined as "four hours of sleep every 24 hours, not necessarily
consecutive;" use of individual fears; removal of comfort items; use of safety positions;
isolation; deprivation of li~t and sound in living areas; the use of a hood during interrogation;
and mild physical contact. 3 Several ofthese techniques were similar to those approved by the
Secretary of Defense for use at GTMO in December 2002. CITF-180 had obtained a list ofthose
GTMO techniques prior to the time that LTC Cotell had drafted his January 24, 2003 memo. 894
_
(
The January 24, 2003 memo also recommended use of five additional
techniques, including "deprivation of clothing" to put detainees in a "shameful, uncomfortable
situation;" "food deprivation;" "sensory overload -loud music or temperature regulation;"
"controlled fear through the use of muzzled, trained, military working dogs;" and ''use of light
and noise deprivation,,895

The Working Group Requests Informationfrom JPRA (U)

(U) The Working Group also sought information on interrogation techniques from the
SERE community. On January 30, 2003, MAJ Nick Lovelace, an action officer at the Joint Staff
Directorate for Intelligence (J2), contacted JPRA on behalf ofthe Working GroUp.897
_
MAJ Lovelace called Mr. Joseph Witsch, the JPRA instructor who had previously
conducted training for
and had served as Team Chief at the September 2002
training for GTMO interrogators and behavioral science personnel at Fort Bragg. 898
_
MAJ Lovelace requested material from JPRA "identifYing interrogation
techniques and methodologies used by the SERE community.,,899 According to Mr. Witsch,
MAJ Lovelace had already received information from the Army SERE school, but he described
the information provided as "insufficient for his tasking.,,900
_ M r . Witsch advised MAJ Lovelace that information on interrogation techniques
had already been provided to the Department of Defense General Counsel and to the DIA and he
suggested that the Joint Staffaction officer coordinate with them. 901 MAJ Lovelace indicated,
however, that he was familiar with those materials but that he was looking for "more detail on
exact procedures, techniques, and constraints" than had already been provided. 902
_
MAJ Lovelace's request on behalf ofthe Working Group prompted a discussion
at JPRA about the advisability of providing "SERE school methodology in support ofthe
GWOT" to the Working Group and other organizations. 903 In an email to JPRA Chief of Staff
Daniel Baum~artner, Mr. Witsch expressed four "serious concerns" about sharing the requested
information. 904
_
(
First among his concerns was the potential effect that sharing SERE
school techniques could have on the training of American personnel. Mr. Witsch wrote:
Open source intel and media is flooded with what the USG/OGAs and DOD are
currently doing with [Designated Unlawful Combatants (DUCs)]. How long will
it take before we see some discussion on SERE school methods and techniques
being used to interrogate DUCs. I'll take bets that it will occur in days and weeks

versus months! It ain't healthy for our operators to expose how we prepare them
to deal with interrogation and captivity in open source media. 905
_
(
Second, Mr. Witsch stated that the SERE techniques violated national
and international laws. He wrote:
Our training is based on simulating our captors' passed [sic] performance while
tapering the physical/psychological severity and harm to our students. The
physical and psychological pressures we apply in training violate national and
international laws. We are only allowed to do these things based on permission
from DOD management and intense oversight by numerous organizations within
DOD. I hope someone is explaining this to all these folks asking for our
techniques and methodology! 906
_(
His third concern was that a lack of proper oversight could give rise to
significant drift, which, in tum, could pose a risk of investigation and exposure ofthe
organization. Mr. Witsch asked:
What do you think is more than likely to happen when one of these organizations
gets exposed and because of significant 'drift' and a lack of oversight they go
beyond what we do in the SERE schools? The first question will be 'Where did
you get your guidance?' Then we get investigated and exposed []. 907
_
(
Mr. Witsch's fourth concern was that JPRA would have no control over
how the information would be used. He asked:
What's been handed out in hard copy and electronically from [] us and the SERE
community to meet numerous requests from everybody? We use [sic] to have
some general idea when we were dealing with primarily the SERE community.
Now it's anybody's ~ess where the JTTP has gone and how it's being
incOq>orated and used. 9 8
_

Mr. Witsch added:

I know this is cool stuff and may provide some utility when dealing with DUCs.
I'm not saying that we should totally remove ourselves from this endeavor. We
must get a handle on all these people seeking information on our stuff within the
USG and DOD and control the amount [of] exposure our SERE
community/programs are getting. This is getting out of control! ,909

Department ofJustice OffICe ofLegal Counsel's Analysis Is PresentedAs


Controlling Authority (U)

(U) At the initial meeting ofthe Working Group, in addition to a briefing from the DIA,
participants also received a briefing from the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel
(OLC).911 Despite the Secretary's guidance 'that the Working Group assess the legal issues
relating to the interrogations of detainees, DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes, who knew that the
OLC "had already done some work" on the issues, re~uested that the OLC produce a legal
opinion to guide the Working Group's deliberations. 9 2
(U) In the early stages ofthe Working Group's deliberations, Working Group members
had set out to develop their own legal analysis and utilize that analysis in the evaluation of
interrogation techniques. 913 A draft ofthat analysis, dated January 25, 2003, was shared with the
DoD General Counsel's office and the OLC. 914
_
The draft reviewed U.S. obligations under international law and concluded that
"obligations under the Torture Convention ... apply to the interrogation of Operation Enduring
Freedom detainees ... ,,915 The draft analysis also included a review of articles ofthe UCMJ and
other U.S. legal standards that were potentially applicable to U.S. interrogators. For example,
the analysis found that unlawful force used against a detainee could constitute an offense under
Article 128 (assault) ofthe UCMJ, and stated that assault:
May be interpreted to include unreasonably offensive poking, slapping, hitting,
prodding, or pushing. Hooding not likely included if used for security reasons.
Offensive touching would also include more severe techniques (e.g., wet towels,
hand cuffing) if not inherent and necessary to custodial conduct. 916
_ T h e draft analysis also assessed the legality ofthe techniques that had been
requested for approval by GTMO in October 2002, including some ofthose that the Secretary of
Defense had approved for use at GTMO in December 2002. In its draft, the Working Group

adopted the conclusion that Navy JAG Corps CDR Stephen Gallotta had reached in his January
9, 2003 memo, writing that:
Category III techniques that threaten death to the detainee or his family (#1) or
which create the misapprehension of suffocation (#3) would likely be judged to
constitute torture under the statute and customary international law. They reflect
conduct specifically defmed as torture in [18 U.S.C.] 2340 and recognized as
torture in international law. Category III, technique #4, mild, non-injurious
grabbing and poking, is an assault under the UCMJ. Absent lawful purpose, these
techniques may be per se unlawful.
Category II techniques [] could also, depending in their implementation, i.e.,
frequency of use, degree of pain inflicted, or combinations oftechniques, rise to a
level where they could be determined to be torture. Thus, additional analysis with
specific guidance for implementation is recommended. 917

_The

draft Working Group analysis recommended "[a]dditional factual


information and legal analysis" to "establish both the legality ofthe proposed techniques and any
limits to be applied to their use.,,918 The draft also expressed "significant concerns with some of
the substantive measures in the [October 11, 2002 GTMO] proposal as submitted, particularly in
Category II and almost all of Category 111.,,919 The Working Group's legal analysis was,
however, soon superseded by that ofthe OLe. 920
(U) Within the first two weeks ofthe Working Group's deliberations, the OLe delivered
a draft legal memo to Air Force General Counsel Mary Walker. 921 The OLe's memo, which
would be fmalized on March 14, 2003, was presented to the Working Group as the "controlling
authority for all questions of domestic and internationallaw.,,922 Among the Working Group
members there was a "great deal of disagreement" with the OLC anal~sis and "serious concerns
and objections over some ofthe legal conclusions reached by OLe.,,9 3

_Nevertheless, at Mr. Haynes's direction, Ms. Walker instructed the Working


Group to consider the "OLC memorandum as authoritative" and directed that it "supplant the
legal analysis being prepared by the Working Group action officers.,,924
(U) CAPT Dalton, the Legal Counsel to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said
she was ''very angry" when told that the Working Group would be governed by the OLC's legal
analysis. 925 She told the Committee: "There was a point [during the Working Group process]
where we were told that we could not argue against the OLC opinion ... that any other legal
ideas that we had would not be accepted, particularly when we commented on the draft
report.,,926 Likewise, Alberto Mora, the Navy General Counsel and a participant in the Working
Group, said that "[s]oon upon receipt of the OLe memo, the Working Group leadership began to
apply its guidance to shape the content of its report.,,927 Mr. Mora stated that "contributions from
the members ofthe Working Group, including [contributions from his office], began to be
rejected if they did not conform to the OLe guidance.,,928
(U) The final OLe memo, signed by John Yoo on March 14, 2003 (and known
commonly as the "Yoo memo"), adopted many of the same conclusions as those of the First
Bybee memo (dated August 1, 2002), in which the OLC had significantly narrowed the scope of
what constituted torture under federal law. For example, Mr. Yoo's memo repeated OLC's
previous analysis ofthe federal anti-torture statute, 18 U.S.C. 2340, finding that the statute
prohibited "only extreme acts" and that in order to constitute torture, physical pain would have to
be equivalent in intensity to that accompanying "serious physical injury, such as organ failure,
impairment of bodily functions or even death.,,929
(U) The final March 14,2003 OLC memo, however, added that general criminal statutes,
such as the federal anti-torture statute, were inapplicable to the military during the conduct of a
war. 930 The OLC concluded that the assault, maiming, interstate stalking, and anti-torture
statutes do not apply to the "properly-authorized interrogation of enemy combatants by the
United States Armed Forces during an armed conflict.,,931

(U) The OLC's conclusion was based, in part, on its analysis ofthe President's
Commander in Chief authority. In the First Bybee memo, the OLe had asserted that "any effort
by Congress to regulate the interrogation of battlefield detainees would violate the Constitution's
sole vesting of the Commander-in-Chiefauthority in the President.,,932 In keeping with that
finding, the March 14, 2003 fmal OLC memo held that the power to detain and interrogate
enemy combatants arose out ofthe President's constitutional authority as Commander in
Chief. 933 "In wartime," according to the memo, "it is for the president alone to decide what
methods to use to best prevail against the enemy.,,934
(U) In the March 14, 2003 final opinion, the OLC used its broad reading ofthe
Commander-in-Chiefauthority to conclude that "even if' federal criminal statutes "were
misconstrued to apply" to interrogations, the "Department of Justice could not enforce this law
or any ofthe other [applicable] criminal statutes.,,935 According to the OLC, "[e]ven if an
interrogation method arguably were to violate a criminal statute; the Justice Department could
not bring alrosecution because the statute would be unconstitutional as applied in this
context.,,93
(U) The First Bybee memo and the March 14,2003 final OLe memo were withdrawn in
June 2004 and December 2003, respectively.937 According to Assistant Attorney General for
OLe Jack Goldsmith, the memos were "legally flawed, tendentious in substance and tone, and
,,938
overbroad ...
(U) The Navy General Counsel Alberto Mora called the OLC memo relied on by the
Working Group in 2003 "profoundly in error" and a "travesty ofthe applicable law.,,939
interrogator would constitute an offense under those laws. For example, the OLC memo considered whether
slapping (or attempting to slap) a detainee would constitute assault or run afoul of U.S. constitutional standards. See
Y00 Memo (March 14, 2(03) at 25, 28, 62, 68.
According to Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel Jack Goldsmith, who withdrew both the
First Bybee memo and the March 14,2003 fInal OLC memo, "this extreme conclusion has no foundation in prior
OLC opinions, or injudicial decisions, or in any other source of law." Goldsmith continued: "And the conclusion's
signifIcance sweeps far beyond the interrogation opinion or the torture statute. It implies that many other federal
laws that limit interrogation-anti-assault laws, the 1996 War Crimes Act, and the Uniform Code of MilitaJy
Justice-are also unconstitutional, a conclusion that would have surprised the many prior presidents who signed or
ratifIed those laws, or complied with them during wartime." The conclusion was even more "inappropriate,"
according to Goldsmith because "it rested on cursory and one-sided legal arguments that failed to consider
Congress's competing wartime constitutional authorities, or the many Supreme Court decisions potentially in
tension with the conclusion." Goldsmith, The Terror Presidency at 148-149.

According to Mr. Mora, the "OLC memo proved a vastly more sophisticated version ofthe
Beaver Legal Brief, but it was a much more dangerous document because of the statutory
requirement that OLC opinions are binding provided much more weight to its virtually
equivalent conclusions.,,940 He stated that it became evident to those on the Working Group that
the "report being assembled would contain profound mistakes in its legal analysis, in large
measure because of its reliance on the flawed OLC Memo." 941 CAPT Dalton likewise said that
"to the extent that [the Working Group report] relied on the OLC memo, it did not include what I
considered to be a fair and complete legal analysis ofthe issues involved.,,942 She added that
being told what their le~al opinion had to be "severely constrained [the Working Group's] ability
to do an adequate job." 3 The report, she said, had been "geared toward a ewarticular
conclusion[]" and the legal analysis was written to support that conclusion.

Working Group Drafts Report Recommending Interrogation Techniques (ll)

(U) When the Secretary of Defense directed the DoD General Counsel to set up the
Working Group, the Secretary instructed him to complete the work within 15 daYS.945 Although
that goal was not met, the Working Group produced several drafts during that time frame and
circulated a draft "Final Report" on February 4, 2003. 946

_
According to VADM Church's report, the General Counsel ofthe Department of
Defense, Jim Haynes, "participated in several meetings" from the "initiation ofthe Working
Group until the report was finalized" at which "the Working Group progress and
recommendations were discussed.,,947
_
Drafts oftheir report from this time period reflect the influence that SERE had on
the Working Group's consideration of interrogation techniques. In a draft ofthe Working Group
report, dated January 27, 2003, the report identified two categories of "interrogation techniques
proven to be effective" - (1) those techniques that were "currently used by trained interrogators
in accordance with U.S. Military Doctrine and policy" and (2) "additional techniques" deemed
"acceptable for use in accordance with ancillary military training processes such as SERE
schools.,,948

The first category ofteclmiques, which the January 27, 2003 draft report
identified as those already in use and "proven to be effective," included techniques not listed in
Army Field Manual 34-52, such as isolation, hooding, use of prolonged interrogations, mild
physical contact, removal of clothing, forced grooming. dietary manipulation, use of phobias to
increase levels of stress, deprivation of light and auditory stimuli, environmental manipulation,
sleep adjustment, prolonged standing, and deception. 949 In describing one of these techniques
deprivation oflight and auditory stimuli - the draft report noted (in an apparent reference to
SERE resistance training) that it was an "effective technique used in military training.,,95o

(
The second category oftechniques in the January 27, 2003 draft
Working Group report identified as "proven to be effective" were those in use "with ancillary
military training processes such as SERE schools.,,951 The draft report noted that this second
category ofteclmiques "should only be applied for detainees who are extremely resistant" to the
first category ofteclmiques and "who the interrogators strongly believe have vital
information.,,952 The teclmiques include use of stress positions, sleep deprivation, enforced
physical training. face slap/stomach slap, water immersion, walling, use of wet towel on face or
the "waterboard," use of smoke pipe, and use of drugs. 953 In describing these techniques, the
Working Group draft made repeated reference to use of the techniques at SERE schools - e.g.,
"selected stress positions are used in U.S. Military Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape
(SERE) schools," the "face slap/stomach slap ... is used in SERE training," "water immersion .
. . . is effectively used in SERE courses," ''use of a wet towel on face or the 'waterboard' ... is
the most severe technique used at U.S. Military SERE schools," ''use of smoke pipe ... is also
used at the SERE School.,,9S4
(
According to JPRA's operating instructions, the purpose of subjecting students
to physical pressures in SERE school is not to obtain information, but ''to project the student's
focus into the resistance scenario and realistically simulate conditions associated with captivity
and resistance efforts.,,955 The JPRA operating instructions state that ''the application of physical
pressure is necessary to produce the correct emotional and physiological projection a student

report shows virtually the same list of interrogation techniques as the earlier draft. 957 However,
unlike the earlier draft, the February 2,2003 draft excluded almost all references to "SERE
schools" or to techniques used in "military training." 958 For example, the entire category of
techniques previously identified as techniques in use "with ancillary military training processes
such as SERE schools" were instead described in the February 2,2003 draft as techniques
"considered effective by interrogators and for which USSOUTHCOM and USCENTCOM have
requested approval.,,959
By the time the Working Group issued its draft "Final Report" on February 4,
2003, ~ made no reference to SERE schools or techniques used in "military training,,,96o
despite the fact that most ofthe SERE techniques remained in the report. 961
_
The February 4, 2003 draft "Final Report" recommended approval of36
interrogation techniques for use with unlawful combatants outside the United States. 962
(U) The report also listed, but did not recommend approval of, three additional
techniques that the Working Group said it lacked sufficient information to evaluate fully - use of
stress positions, deprivation of light and auditory stimuli, and water immersion/wetting down. 963
Two ofthe three techniques that the Working Group lacked enough information to make a
judgment on, i.e., stress positions and deprivation of light and auditory stimuli, were among
those recommended for approval by Mr. Haynes and approved by the Secretary of Defense two
months earlier, on December 2, 2002.

_ O f the 36 recommended interrogation techniques in the February 4,2003 draft, 26


techniques were recommended for general use and 10 techniques were recommended for use
with certain limitations. 964 The 26 techniques recommended in the February 4,2003 report for
general use included 19 techniques from Army Field Manual 34-52 or its predecessor, and seven
techniques that did not comport with the Field Manual, i.e., hooding, mild physical contact,
dietary manipulation, environmental manipulation, sleep adjustment, false flag, and threat of
transfer. 965 The report also recommended approval of 10 additional "exceptional" techniques for
m The one exception was that the "deception" technique in the January 27,2003 draft was replaced with the "false
flag" technique in the February 2,2003 draft. False flag is a type of deception technique used to try and "convince
the detainee that individuals from a country other than the United Sates are interrogating him." DoD Working

use with certain limitations. 966 The 10 "exceptional" techniques included isolation, prolonged
interrogations, forced grooming, prolonged standing, sleep deprivation, physical training, face
slap/stomach slap, removal of clothing, increasing anxiety by use of aversions, and the
waterboard. 967
(U) Many ofthe 10 "exceptional" techniques in the report, were similar to techniques
identified in earlier versions ofthe report as either having originated in SERE school or among
those previously approved for use at GTMO and identified by Mr. Becker, the former GTMO
ICE Chief, in his list for the Working Group.
(U) Each of the 36 recommended techniques was included in a color-coded matrix or a
"stoplight" chart and designated as either "green," "yellow," or "red" to signify the Working
Group's assessment of legal and policy considerations. 968

~aterboarding was the only technique evaluated as "red" in any area of


consideration in the February 4,2003 report, but the Working Group report continued to
recommend at that time that it be approved for use. 969 That "red" designation meant that the
Working Group determined that there was a major issue in law or policy with respect to
waterboarding "that cannot be eliminated. ,,970 The Working Group rated the waterboard as red
under U.S. domestic law and the prohibition against cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment in
the Torture Convention. 971 The Working Group also indicated that the waterboard was not
consistent with historical U.S. forces' interrogation role; prior U.S. public statements; or major
team consisting of a friendly and harsh interrogator') that was in the 1987 version ofFM 34-52 but was not found in
the [then] current version, and the draft also listed Change of Scenery Up and Change of Scenery Down as separate
techniques, rather than using the more general Change of Scene technique listed in FM 34-52." Church Report at

966"
127.

The report stated that use of techniques listed in the report would be subject to conditions, i.e., "Limited
to specified interrogation centers; There is a good basis to believe that the detainee possesses critical intelligence;
The detainee is medically and operationally evaluated as suitable (considering all techniques in combination);
Interrogators are specifically trained for the technique(s); Subject to a special interrogation plan (including
reasonable safeguards, limits on duration, intervals between applications, tennination criteria and the presence or
availability of qualified medical personnel); Appropriate supervision; and Appropriate specified senior level
approval for use with any specific detainee (after considering the foregoing and receiving legal advice)." Working

examples of the technique.

Green indicated "no significant constraint on use raised by the respective" law or policy under consideration,

partner nation reviews. In addition, the report indicated that the technique could have an effect
on the treatment of captured U.S. forces, could potentially affect detainee prosecutions; was
"inconsistent with modern U.S. military perceptions in decency in dealing with prisoners" and
was "a significant departure from contemporary American military approach to the laws of
war.,,972 The February 4, 2003 Working Group Report gave the waterboard its only overall red
rating and recommended that the approval authority for the technique be "no lower than the
J:'
973
[Secretary ofDelense]."
(U) The Working Group's assessment ofthe techniques on the stoplight chart was
governed by the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) memo. The result, according to then-CAPT
(now RADM) Dalton, was that drafts ofthe stoplight chart were "absolutely wrong legally.,,974
According to RADM Dalton:

[T]here was a column originally . . . in the stoplight chart, that was labeled
"Customary International Law." So one ofthe things we were supposed to assess
was whether or not the techniques were consistent with customary international
law.
The stoplight chart had all 36 techniques green under customary
international law because the OLC opinion and thus the Working Group report
maintained that customary international law did not impose any constraints on the
actions . . . That green column was absolutely wrong legally . . . it was
embarrassing to have it in there, and one of my comments to the report was ...
You need to delete that column entire?, because it's embarrassing to have it in
there and it's not reflective ofthe law. 97
(D) In addition to concerns raised by then-CAPT Dalton, almost immediately, the
February 4, 2003 draft final report and its recommended techniques generated objections from
top military lawyers. Within days of receiving the report and continuing over the next month,
the Deputy Judge Advocate General (JAG) ofthe Air Force Jack Rives, the Navy JAG Michael

Several ofthe recommended "exceptional" techniques, on their face, amounted to


violations ofthe UCMJ (e.g., assault) and domestic criminal law. 977 As a result,
"applying the more [exceptional] techniques during interrogation of detainees places

(U) According to DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes, the Secretary of Defense met with
participants of the Working Group and was aware of concerns reflected in the comments made
by the senior military lawyers. 984
(U) On March 6, 2003, the Working Group circulated another version of its report
entitled "Working Group Report on Detainee Interrogations in the Global War on Terrorism:
Assessment of Legal, Historical, Policy and Operational Considerations."

_
According to the Church Report, when circulated, the March 6, 2003 version was
considered final, but at some point, it was later re-characterized as a draft. 985 Over the objections
ofthe military lawyers, all 36 techniques from the February 4,2003 draft report remained a part
ofthe Working Group's recommendations and were included in the March 6, 2003 report. 986
The three techniques that the Working Group could not evaluate fully also remained in the
March 6, 2003 report, but were not recommended for approval. 987 By March 6, 2003, the
Working Group still "had not received adequate information" regarding these three techniques,
including two that had been approved by the Secretary in December 2002, to conduct a "legal or
policyanalysis.,,988
(U) Upon receiving the March 6, 2003 version, senior military lawyers continued to raise
concerns that the recommendations were based on a flawed OLC legal analysis. One JAG noted
that the draft report's introduction, which said it was '''informed' by [the] OLC opinion ...
create[d] an incorrect impression" since "[m]ost (if not all) working group members and TJAGs
disagree[d] with significant portions of [the] OLe opinion, but were forced to accept it.,,989 The
military lawyers also continued to express the view that the recommended techniques would
expose American soldiers to potential prosecution; would invite reciprocal treatment of captured
U.S. personnel; could affect the admissibility of detainee statements in criminal prosecutions,
including military commissions; and were not proven to result in obtaining reliable information
from those being interrogated. 990

hallmark is isolation and up to 20 hour interrogation. Without that we can't be successful in the

Three days later, LTC Beaver followed up with the General Counsel's office,

month later, on March 12,2003, a Deputy Staff Judge Advocate at SOUTHCOM


sent LTC Beaver an email informing her about a March 11, 2003 meeting that was attended by
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, SOUTHCOM Commander GEN James Hill, and
Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Gen Richard Myers, where interrogation
techniques were discussed. 993 According to the Deputy SJA at SOUTHCOM, during the
meeting, Gen Myers, raised a concern that some ofthe techniques discussed for GTMO "could
be illegal depending on how far they were used.,,994 The Deputy SJA informed LTC Beaver that
GEN Hill "promised the Chairman a paper discussing the techniques we want" and that
SOUTHCOM wanted to get a draft memo to GEN Hill by close of business March 20,2003. 995
LTC Beaver forwarded the email to DoD Associate Deputy General Counsel Eliana Davidson
and told her "This email is not good news. It appears something went wrong.,,996 Ms. Davidson
replied that Mr. Haynes had been at the meeting where interrogation techniques were discussed
and that she was trying to get some clarification on the meeting. 997

_
On March 21, 2003, GEN Hill sent a memorandum to Gen Myers regarding the
interrogation techniques that had been rescinded in January. While MG Miller's January 21,
2003 letter to General Hill had listed only nine Category II techniques as "essential," General
Hill's March 21, 2003 memo stated that both he and MG Miller felt that approval of all ofthe
previously authorized techniques (in Categories I, II and III) was "essential.,,998 General Hill
stated that"both Geoff Miller and I believe that we need as many appropriate tools as possible"
and called Category II and the one previously authorized Category III technique "critical to
maximizing our ability to accomplish the mission, now and in the future.,,999 The "critical"
techniques referred to by General Hill included stress positions, deprivation oflight and auditory

Prior to issuing a final report on April 4, 2003, members ofthe Working Group
again sought infonnation from JPRA on SERE techniques. The JAG of the Air Force, Maj Gen
Thomas Fiscus, and two other military officers, visited JPRA and were briefed on SERE physical
pressures. IOOO At the briefing, JPRA described its previous support to "high value target"
interrogations, discussed the processes and procedures used in SERE training, and reviewed the
"application of physical pressures in an operational environment. ,,1001 JPRA Chief of Staff
Daniel Baumgartner told Maj Gen Fiscus that JPRA had previously provided information on

The Working Group Finalizes Its Report and the Secretary ofDefense Issues a
New Interrogation Policy For GTMO (U)

II On March 28, 2003, the Secretary of Defense met with a number of senior advisors
including Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, DoD General Counsel Jim Haynes, and Chairman
ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen Richard Myers, to discuss the interrogation techniques being
considered by the Working Group. 1003 After that meeting, the Secretary decided to expressly
authorize 24 interrogation techniques, including five that were not listed in the Army Field
Manual (one ofthese five was classified as an "exceptional" technique). 1004
The Joint Chiefs of Staff met on March 31,2003, and were briefed about Secretary
Rumsfeld's decision. According to CAPT Dalton, the Legal Counsel to the Chairman ofthe
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the "Chiefs recognized that the approved strategies would not hamper the
combatant commander in the accomplishment of his mission, because the door was o~en to
request additional strategies on a case-by-case basis if needed in compelling cases.,,10 S
_
The last and final version ofthe Working Group report was issued on April 4,
2003. The report was similar to the March 6, 2003 version, except that it did not recommend
waterboarding or list the three other exceptional techniques that the Working Group could not
evaluate fully - stress positions, deprivation of light and auditory stimuli, and water

immersion/wetting down. 1006 At the direction ofthe DoD Principal Deputy General Counsel
Daniel Dell'Orto, the April 4, 2003 report was not circulated to the participants of the Working
Group. 1007
(U) In fact, when it came to finalizing the report, some participants of the Working Group
who had raised objections to the report were excluded from the process and did not even know
that the report had been completed. 1008 According to Alberto Mora, the Navy General Counsel,
"Neither I, [the Navy Office ofthe General Counsel], nor - to my knowledge - anyone else in
the [Department of Navy] ever received a completed version ofthe Working Group report. It
was never circulated for clearance. Over time, I would come to assume that the report had never
been fmalized.,,1009 Mr. Mora said that he only learned ofthe final report nearly a year later
while watching a "televised congressional hearing on the Abu Ghraib scandal."lOlO

On April 5, 2003, Gen Myers forwarded a memo proposing that the Secretary of

Defens~ze24 ofthe interrogation techniques reviewed during the Working Group

process. 1011 In response, Marshall Billingslea, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Special Operations/ Low-Intensity Conflict sent a memo to the Secretary of Defense
raising concerns about the omission of certain techniques and recommending that the Secretary
approve all 35 techniques "endorsed by the Working GrOUp.,,1012 Mr. Billingslea's memo stated:
The current memo omits some interrogation techniques that are not controversial
from either a legal, or policy standpoint. For instance, blindfolding ('hooding'),
lightly touching a detainee, and threatening transfer to a 3rd country all seem
reasonable techniques to approve.
The draft memo also omits some techniques which the Working Group found to
be legally-permissible, but which should 'be done only with appropriate oversight.
While the Working Group felt that the Combatant Commander could approve
these measures, we recommend requiring that you be notified prior to their use.
The measures in question include using prolonged interrogations, prolonged
standing in non-stress positions, forced grooming, requiring physical exercise,
face/stomach slaps to cause surprise but not pain or injury, etc.

Finally, we recommend delegating certain techniques to General Miller at


GTMO. 1013
(U) On April 16, 2003, the Secretary of Defense authorized the Commander of
SOUTHCOM to use 24 interrogation techniques. 1014 Of the 24 techniques, four - Mutt and Jeff,
incentive/removal of incentive, pride and ego down, and isolation - required that the
SOUTHCOM Commander make a determination of "military necessity" and notify the Secretary
in advance of using them. lOIS The Secretary authorized the use ofthe other 20 techniques with
all detainees at GTMO so long as GTMO personnel adhered to certain safeguards. Those
authorized techniques included dietary manipulation, environmental manipulation, sleep
adjustment, and false flag, none of which were listed in the Army Field Manual.
(U) In addition to expressly authorizing the 24 techniques listed in his April 16, 2003
memorandum, Secretary Rumsfeld wrote in his memo: "If, in your view, you require additional
interrogation techniques for a particular detainee, you should provide me, via the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a written request describing the proposed techni~ue, recommended
safeguards, and the rationale for applying it with an identified detainee."l 16
(U) CAPT Dalton told the Committee that all ofthe techniques recommended by the
Working Group were available for request. 1017 That understanding was shared by the Joint
Chiefs, who she said believed that the door was open to request additional strategies on a case
by-case basis ifneeded in compelling cases. ,,1018 The GTMO Commander would soon seek and
receive authority to use additional techniques that went beyond the 24 expressly approved in the
Secretary's April 16, 2003 memo.

JTF-GTMO Plansfor Interrogation ofSlahi (U)

_
A memo dated on January 16, 2003 - the day after the Secretary of Defense
rescinded interrogation techniques he had previously authorized for GTMO - described a plan
for the interrogation ofMohamadou Walid Slahi. While Slahi's interrogation does not appear to
have begun until July 2003, the January 16,2003 memo described specific techniques ITF
GTMO intended to use in his interrogation, many of which mirrored those used in the Khatani
interrogation. For example, the memo stated that interrogations would be conducted for up to 20
hours per day on Slahi, just as they had been for Khatani. 1040 The memo said that interrogators
could pour water on Slahi's head to "enforce control" and "keep [him] awake.,,1041 Interrogators
had also poured water over Khatani's head as a "method of asserting control.,,1042
The January 16,2003 memo stated that "K-9 dogs can be present and made
to bark to agitate [Slahi].,,1043 Similarly, military workingdogs had been used in Khatani's
interrogation ''to agitate the detainee and provide shock value."1044 The presence of dogs in the
Slahi memo is notable as MG Miller said that, months earlier, he had "rejected [using dogs in
interrogations] as an acceptable technique" and that dogs "were not to be used during active
interrogation" 1045
The January 16, 2003 memo also described techniques directed at breaking
down Slahi's ego, including ridiculing him, making him wear a mask and signs labeling him a
"liar," a "coward," or a "dog."1046 The memo stated that interrogators would also instruct Slahi

had also been forced to wear a dog collar and perform dog tricks, and interrogators had placed
signs on him such as "liar," "coward," and "dog.,,1048
The January 16,2003 memo described shaving Slahi's head and beard,
making him wear a burka, and subjecting him to strip search ''to reduce [his] ego by assaulting
his modesty.,,1049 Likewise, ITF-GTMO interrogators had shaved Khatani's head and beard and
he had also been strip searched. 1050
The memo stated that Slahi would be denied the opportunity to pray and
described techniques to exploit "religious taboos," such as using a female interrogator in "close
physical contact."IOSl The memo also stated that interrogators would play music to "stress
[Slahi] because he believes music is forbidden" and that light in Slahi's interrogation booth
would be filtered "with red plastic to produce a stressful environment.,,10S2 Khatani had also
been denied ~rayer and a female interrogator touched him during his interrogation to increase his
stress level." 053 Khatani too had been isolated, a red filter was placed over the light in his
interrogation booth, and music was used in his interrogation to create stress. 1054
_
The January 16, 2003 memo indicated that ITF-GTMO interrogators planned
to make use ofa completely white room during Slahi's interrogation "to reduce outside stimuli
and present an austere environment," that interrogators would use a strobe light in his
interrogation booth to "disorient [Slahi] and add to [his] stress level," and that a hood would be
placed on Slahi in the booth" ''to isolate him and increase feelings of futility. ,,1055

2003 memo and stated that ''the single most important aspect ofthese techniques is the initial
shock ofthe treatment... [the] detainee will have the perception that his situation has changed
drastically and that life can still become worse than what he is experiencing. ,,1057
_
The first three to five days of interrogation were planned for Camp Delta. 1058 If
Slahi was not cooperative, the plan proposed that military police in full riot gear take him from
his cell, place him on a watercraft, and drive him around to make him think he had been taken
off ofthe island. In reality, Slahi would be taken to Camp Echo where the interrogation was to
continue. A memo describing that part of the plan said that military police working dogs would
be used during his movement to "assist developing the atmosphere that something major is
happening and add to the tension level ofthe detainee.,,1059
_
Interrogating Slahi at Camp Echo was intended to emotionall~and
psychologically weaken him through "drastic changes in his environment.,,1
Mirroring the
Khatani interrogation plan, the Slahi plan included efforts to "re~licate and exploit the
'Stockholm Syndrome' between detainee and his interrogators," 061 In his evaluation ofthe
Khatani plan more than seven months earlier, the NCIS psychologist assigned to the CITF, Dr.
Michael Gelles, had said that the idea of inducing the Stockholm syndrome implied that "the
subject feels that he is to be killed and the information provided may in fact be distorted.,,1062

_The

GTMO plan stated that, while in the interrogation room at Camp Echo,
Slahi would sit in a basic chair and "be shackled to the floor and left in the room for up to four
hours while sound is playing continually.,,1063 His time in the room was intended to "disorient
him and establish fear ofthe unknown" and emphasize to Slahi that '''the rules have changed'
and nobody knows he is there."I064 The practice of shackling him to the floor and subjecting
him to loud music was to be repeated over several days, interrupted by actual interrogations.
Slahi was to be permitted four hours of sleep every sixteen hours. 1065
_
The plan stated that an interrogation room would be "modified in such a way
as to reduce as much outside stimuli as possible. The doors will be sealed to a point that allows
no light to enter the room. The walls may be covered with white paint or paper to further

psychologically uncomfortable, emotionally uncomfortable, assert superiority over detainee,
escalate stress, play loud music, and continue to condition detainee to menial tasks.,,1067

_On

July 18,2003, SOUTHCOM Commander GEN James Hill forwarded a


copy ofGTMO's interrogation plan for Slahi to the Secretary of Defense. GEN Hill's cover
memorandum stated that the interrogation plan "employs techniques not previously approved in
your [April 16, 2003] memorandum" and requested the Secretary's approval "to use sound
modulation (at decibel levels not harmful to hearing) and sleep deprivation.,,1068 The
memorandum also notified the Secretary that GTMO intended to isolate Slahi and use "pride and
ego down" with him. 1069

II On July 24, 2003, Marshall Billingslea, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Special Operations / Low-Intensity Conflict (SOLIC), forwarded a memo notifYing
the Secretary of Defense that JTF-GTMO intended to isolate Slahi and recommending that he
approve the use of "sleep deprivation" and "sound modulation at decibel levels not harmful to
hearing.,,1070 A handwritten note on the memo stated that "OGC concurs that this is legal. We
don't see any policy issues with these interrogation techniques. Recommend you authorize.,,1071
Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz approved the memo on July 28,2003 and
forwarded it to Secretary Rumsfeld, who added his approval on August 13, 2003. 1072

~ The Slahi plan stated that it would "not be implemented until approved by
higher authority." 073 Despite that statement, memoranda for the record suggest techniques for
which JTF-GTMO sought authority were used at least a month before the Secretary's written
approval.

3.

Interrogation Begins Before Special Interrogation Plan Is Approved (U)

IISeveral memoranda for the record documenting Slahi's interrogation were written by
JTF-GTMO personnel in July and August 2003. These memoranda indicate that at least one
technique for which JTF-GTMO sought authority to use with Slahi, i.e., sound modulation, was
used before written authority was actually granted by the Secretary of Defense. 1074 The

memoranda also suggest the use of some techniques, such as forcing Slahi to stand for prolonged
periods, for which no re~uest for authority from SOUTHCOM or OSD appears to have been
made by ITF_GTMO. 107 In addition, while MG Miller had, more than two months earlier, said
that interrogators were not to use the fear up harsh approach, the memoranda indicate that
increasing Slahi's level offear was an integral part of his interrogation and that one interrogator
even implied to Slahi that he could be tortured or killed.

III The memoranda indicate that, on several occasions from July 8 through July 17, Slahi

was interrogated by a masked interrogator called "Mr. x." On July 8, 2003 Slahi was
interrogated by Mr. X and was "exposed to variable lighting patterns and rock music, to the tune
of Drowning Pool's 'Let the Bodies Hit [the] Floor'. ,,1076 On July 10, 2003 Slahi was placed in
an interrogation room handcuffed and standing while the air conditioning was turned off until the
room became "quite warm.,,1077 The next day, Slahi was brought into the interrogation booth
and again remained standing and handcuffed while the air conditioning was again turned off. 1078
After allowing Slahi to sit, the interrogator later ''took [Slahi's] chair and left him standing for
several hours." 1079 According to the memo, Slahi was ''visibly uncomfortable and showed signs
of fatigue. lbis was 401 day of long duration interrogations.,,1080
(U) On July 17, 2003, the masked interrogator told Slahi about a dream he had had where
he saw "four detainees that were chained together at the feet. They dug a hole that was six feet
long, six feet deep, and four feet wide. Then he observed the detainees throw a plain, unpainted,
pine casket with the number 760 [Slahi's internment serial number (lSN)] painted on it in orange
on the ground.,,1081
_
On August 2, 2003 an interrogator told Slahi ''to use his imagination and think up
the worst possible thing that could happen to him" and asked him "what scares him more than
anything else.,,1082
(U) That same day, the interrogator told Slahi that to ''use his imagination to think up the
worst possible scenario he could end up in.,,1083 The interrogator told Slahi that "beatings and
physical pain are not the worst thing in the world. After all being beaten for a while, humans
tend to disconnect the mind from the body and make it through. However, there are worse things
-than physical pain.,,1084 The interrogator told Slahi that he would ''very soon disappear down a

him and, eventually, no one will care.,,1085
(U) At one point in his interrogation, Slahi was also shown a fictitious letter that had been
drafted by the Interrogation Team Chief stating that his mother had been detained, would be
interrogated, and if she were uncooperative she might be transferred to GTMO. 1086 The letter
pointed out that she would be the only female detained at '"this previously all-male prison
environment.,,1087

~on August 7, 2003, Slahi informed an interrogator that he had made a decision to
cooperate. 088 After questioning Slahi, his interrogator "congratulated [him] on his decision to
tell the whole truth.,,1089
4.

Special Interrogation Plan Approved and Implemented Despite


Apparent Cooperation (U)

II Five days after interrogators congratulated Slahi for his decision to '"tell the whole
truth," the Secretary of Defense approved ITF-GTMO's Special Interrogation Plan.
Notwithstanding Slahi's apparent decision on August 7,2003 to cooperate with interrogators, an
August 21, 2003 email described preparations made to implement the Special Interrogation
Plan. 109o The email described sealing Slahi's cell at Camp Echo to "prevent light from shining"
in and covering the entire exterior of his cell with tarp to "prevent him from making visual
contact with guards. ,,1091
_

Weeldy Reports from the ITF-GTMO Commander in September and October

2003 indicated that Slahi "continue[d] to be cooperative.,,1092 Despite that apparent cooperation,
those same weekly reports stated that that the interrogations were continuing in accordance with
the approved interrogation plan. A contemporaneous document suggested that the interrogation
may have begun affecting Slahi's mental state. 1093

_An

October 17,2003 email from a JTF-GTMO interrogator to LTC Diane Zierhoffer,


a ITF-GTMO Behavioral Science Consultation Team (BSCT) Psychologist, stated that '"Slahi

FBI Concerns with Special Interrogation (U)

liThe view that the use ofthe aggressive techniques could affect Slahi's potential
prosecution turned out to be accurate. LtCol Stuart Couch, a military prosecutor assigned to the
Slahi case wrote in March 2004 that "prosecutors in our office are very concerned about the
allegations of detainee abuse at GTMO and Afghanistan, and we have individually taken steps to
address this issue. The techniques employed by the intelligence community in obtaining
information is a policy decision that obviously affects our prosecution efforts, yet we are
powerless to influence such activities."lloo After becoming aware ofinterrogations techniques to
which Slahi had been subject, LtCol Couch refused to participate in the prosecution. HOI

CITF Reissues Order for Agents to "Stand Clear" ofAggressive


Interrogations (U)

(D) In October 2003, with the Slahi Special Interrogation Plan underway, the Criminal
Investigative Task Force again issued guidance to its agents to stand clear of interrogations using
aggressive techniques. The guidance mirrored that issued by CITF in December 2002, stating
that "detainees will be treated humanely" and that "physical torture, corporal punishment and
mental torture are not acceptable interrogation tactics and are not allowed under any
circumstances.,,1l10 The October 2003 guidance stated:
[CITF personnel will] not participate in any interrogation that violates this policy.
When CITF personnel are conducting a joint interrogation with another U.S.
government organization, and a member of that other organization employs
tactics that are, or appear to the investigator to be, inhumane or cruel and unusual,
the CITF personnel will immediately disengage from the interrogation, report the
incident to their CITF chain of command, and document the incident in a
memorandum for record. 1111

GTMO Seeks Approvalfor Two Additional Special Interrogation Plans


(U)

_
On November 13, 2003, MG Miller sent two memoranda to GEN Hill at
SOUfHCOM requesting approval of special interrogation plans for detainees
_
1112 Consistent with the Secretary of Defense's April authorization, MG Miller
notified GEN Hill of ITF-GTMO's intent to isolate the detainees. In addition, MG Miller
requested approval to conduct interrogations up to 16 hours and use various types of sound. The
plans also implied the use of other techniques, such as sensory deprivation, that were not
authorized by the Secretary in April. Both memos indicated that the techniques in the plans had
been previously used in the Slahi interrogation. In many ways, the techniques proposed in the
two new special interrogation plans mirrored techniques used in both the Slahi and Khatani
interrogations.

Tom O'Connell, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations / Low
Intensity Conflict (SOLIC), attached a cover memo to the SOUTHCOM Commander's request,
recommending to the Secretary of Defense that he approve the plans. 1132 A coordination sheet
attached to that memo indicated that Daniel Dell '0110, the Principal Deputy DoD General
Counsel, had approved the plan on December 31, 2003 and Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff
Gen Myers had approved the plan on January 2, 2004. The date ofthe Chairman's approval (and
possibly that ofthe Deputy DoD General Counsel) occurred after the Office of Legal Counsel
(OLe) at the Department of Justice withdrew its March 14, 2003 legal memo upon which DoD
had been relying for interrogation techniques. 1133 The OLC's notification to DoD General
Counsel Jim Haynes ofthat withdrawal occurred between December 25 and December 31,
2003. 1134 Mr. Haynes told the Committee that "the fact that the Department didn't have that
opinion to rely on... didn't mean that Mr. Dell'Orto or somebody ... could not [have] concluded
that something was legal in the absence ofthat memo. ,,1135

DOJ Office of Legal Counsel Withdraws March 14,2003 Legal Opinion Governing
DoD Interrogations (U)

(U) In the final week of2003, the OLC notified the Department of Defense that the
March 14, 2003 OLC legal opinion, upon which DoD had been relying for interrogations, was
being withdrawn. 1136 According to the then-Assistant Attorney General for the OLe Jack
Goldsmith, the March 2003 memo was one ofa "short stack" of OLe opinions that his OLe
colleague Patrick Philbin had identified, shortly after Mr. Goldsmith arrived at DoJ, as
problematic and possibly containing "serious errors."ll37 Also included in that "short stack"
were the two August 1,2002 "Bybee" memos - the "First Bybee" memo, which presented
OLe's narrow interpretation of what constituted torture under U.S. law and the "Second Bybee"
memo, which included OLC's "advice to the CIA regarding potential interrogation methods. ,,1138

told him the March 14,2003 OLC opinion was under review and could not be relied on by the
Department. 1140 That opinion had been presented to the Working Group as the controlling
authority for all questions of domestic and international law and was the legal foundation for the
Secretary's April 2003 authorization oftechniques for GTMO. Mr. Goldsmith told the
Committee that he informed Mr. Haynes in December 2003 that he had detennined that only 20
ofthe 24 techniques authorized b(' Secretary Rumsfeld were lawful, and that the remaining four
techniques were under review. 114 Mr. Goldsmith also advised Mr. Haynes in December that the
Department should come back to OLC for additional legal guidance before approving any
technique not among those 24 specifically identified in the Secretary's April 2003 memo. 1142
Mr. Goldsmith told the Committee that Mr. Haynes did not inquire about the use of additional
techniques during his tenure at OLC, which ended in June 2004. 1143

rescind opinions only after he determined they were legally flawed and he could affumatively provide guidance on
"precisely what interrogation practices were legally available under a proper analysis." Goldsmith reiterated the
second part of this standard when asked ifhe considered withdrawing the third "problematic" opinion. known as the
"Second Bybee" memo. He told the Committee that he had not completed his analysis of the Second Bybee memo

Continuous cell transfer was discussed at least as early as August 2003. An August 3,
2003 email from GTMO's ICE Operations Officer described interrogating a detainee for 15
hours, allowing him 5 hours of uninterrupted rest in his cell and then moving the detainee to a
new cell every half hour until the 24 hour period expired whereby, according to the Operations
Officer the cycle would restart and "the fun begins again.,,1146

(U) According to an FBI agent who was on assignment to GTMO in fall 2003, the agent
received a briefing "that non cooperative detainees could be placed on a list for a specific
interrogation technique involving interruption of sleep pattern, called the 'frequent flyer
program.",1147 The agent stated that detainees were moved with all oftheir personal belongings
and that the duration ofthe program for detainees "seemed to depend on the cooperativeness of
the detainee.,,1148 In fact, an investigation by the Department of Justice Inspector General found
that "many FBI agents described a program of sleep disruption employed by the military as
designed to disorient detainees and thereby obtain their cooperation, which was known as the
'frequent flyer program.,,1149
(U) Keeping detainees awake except for a period of four-hours of uninterrupted sleep
using "Continuous cell transfer" or other means was not on the list of24 techniques OLC
advised the DoD General Counsel were permitted. The Committee is unaware of a request from
DoD to OLC for legal guidance on whether that technique comported with techniques on that list
of24 approved by the Secretary.

forces in Mghanistan at the end of May 2002. 1151 In addition to tactical questioning and
screening on the battlefield, CITF-180 personnel conducted more thorough interrogations at
detention facilities at Kandahar and Bagram. Between October 2001 and January 2003, the only
written guidance for interrogators operating in Mghanistan appears to have been Army Field
Manual 34-52. There were no Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), however, to guide the
implementation ofthe doctrine outlined in the Field Manual.
In fall 2002 the SMU conducted assessments of interrogation operations at
GTMO an
at Bagram Airfield. Those assessments
generated discussion about whether the SMU TF should conduct its own interrogations, separate
and apart from CITF-180, and which interrogation techniques should be permitted.
A.

Assessment Team VISit to Guantanamo Bay (U)

_
(
From October 8 through October 10, 2002, an SMU TF assessment team
from Mghanistan visited ITF-170 at Guantanamo Bay. 1152 The visit occurred just as ITF-170
personnel at GTMO were finalizing a request, submitted to SOUTHCOM on October 11,2002,
to use interrogation techniques including stress positions, removal of clothing, deprivation of
light and auditory stimuli, hooding, use of detainee phobias such as dogs, exposure to cold
weather or water, and non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking and pushing. 1153
_(
A trip report prepared by the SMU TF assessment team, dated October
11, 2002, summarized the visit to GTMO. The report stated that the SMU TF team met with
members ofthe ITF-170 Behavioral Science Consultation Team (BSCT).1154 Members of the
BSCT had recently attended training conducted by SERE instructors from JPRA and in the week
prior to the SMU TFteam's visit, two ofthem had written the first draft ofGTMO's request for
new interrogation authorities. 1155
_
(
According to the SMU TF assessment team's trip report, GTMO
"interrogation team psychologists" discussed interrogation approaches, including use of
"religious oriented superstitions, varied schedules, shame, various disruptions of daily routines,
and using ethnic interrogators.,,1156 The SMU team's trip report also suggested that the team
discussed with the ITF-170 Interrogation Control Element (ICE) Chief David Becker, the need

for "sensory deprivation;" "sensory overload" through lights, darkness, noises, and dogs; and
manipulation ofthe detainees' environment through "cold, heat, wet, discomfort, etc...,,1161
Stripping detainees, the use of hoods, the use of dogs, and environmental manipulation were
among the interrogation techniques requested by GTMOY62
_
A memo entitled "Detainee Operations," dated October 27,2002 (the day after
the SMU TF proposal was briefed), described the SMU team's visit to GTMO as well as the
team's assessment of interrogation operations at Bagram. 1l63 With respect to operations at
GTMO, the memo stated that "Due to a lack of effective national-level guidance, the GTMO
staff is analogous to a weak. set of parents unsure oftheir role and parental skills who get
manipulated by elever and strong-willed children.,,1164 The memo stated that the SMU TF team
"assisted the [GTMO] staff in seeking advice and training from the JPRA staffregarding

The October 27,2002 memo also outlined a rationale for the SMU to conduct
its own interrogations.
1167 The memo recommended the "imaginative but legal use
ofnon-lethal psychological techniques (i.e., battlefield noises/chaos, barking dogs, etc.)" as well
as stress techniques such as "sensory deprivation (hoods, silence, flex cuffs), sensory overload
(shouting, gun shots, white noise, machinery noise) and manipulation ofthe environment (hot,
cold, wet. windy, hard surfaces).,,1168

,1170 The presentation


argued that actionable intelligence might be produced ''via psychologicaVphysical stress" and
listed "sensory deprivation," "sensory overload -lights darkness, noises, and dogs,"
"environment - cold, heat, wet and discomfort" and "psychological deception leading to learned
helplessness and increase compliance."ll71
_
The SMU TF also developed a "Decision Briefmg" with the goal of gaining the
CITF-180 Commanding General LTG Dan McNeil's approval for the SMU TF to construct and
operate its own interrogation facility for high value detainees co-located at the Bagram
Collection Point. un The briefing stated that CITF-180 was focused on the detention mission
rather than the interrogation mission, that "no advanced interrogation techniques" including
"sensory deprivation/overload, sleep deprivation, psychological manipulation" were employed
by CITF-180, and that current procedures were having only "limited success[es].l173
_
While the SMU briefing noted that "advanced interrogation techniques" were not
in use at Bagram prior to November 2002, Army investigations into the deaths oftwo detainees
at Bagram in early December revealed that, by early December 2002, at least one ofthe
techniques, sleep deprivation, was apparently in wide use there.

Questions Raised About Task Force Participation in OGA Intt!n'ogations (U)

November 1, 2002, a month before the two detainee deaths at Bagram, the
SMU TF Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) analyzed legal authorities and constraints relevant to SMU
TF personnel's participation in interrogations
1175 The
SJA's analysis is reflected in a memo which was provided to the Committee in redacted fonn.
Although the particular interrogation techniques in use
were redacted from the
version ofthe memo shared with the Committee, unredacted portions ofthat memo discuss the
SMU TF's concerns about those techniques. 1176
_Although the memo stated that while, in the author's opinion, "none ofthe
interrogation techniques used or observed by ~redacted] personnel constitutes 'torture,'" it also
stated that "another observer might disagree." 177 In addition, the memo stated that one ofthe
[redacted]. techniques "could rise to the level oftorture ifapplied in such a way and for such
a period of time that it rises to the level of severe physical pain or suffering. ,,1178 It also said that
"although the interrogation techniques may not constitute 'torture' they may rise to the level of
cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment proscribed by international law.,,1179

particularly ifthere is media scrutiny.,,1180 The memo referenced


applicable DoD policies and Department ofthe Army (DA) regulations requirin~

humane treatment of detainees and noted that although they might not apply to _ _

operating in a non-DoD facility, "U.S. military personnel remain subject to those

authorities if [military personnel] participate in or run the interrogations.,,1181 According

January 2003 Task Force Interrogation SOP (Afghanistan) (U)

_(
On January 10, 2003 the SMU Task Force Commander in Mghanistan
approved the fIrst interrogation standard operating procedure (SOP) for the SMU Task Force. 1185
In addition to identifYing approaches from the Army Field Manual 34-52, the SOP approved four
additional interrogation '"techniques" for use by SMU interrogators: isolation, multiple
interrogators, stress positions, and sleep deprivation. 1186 Three ofthe four techniques approved
by the SMU TF - isolation, stress positions, and multiple interrogators - were among those
authorized by the Secretary of Defense for use at GTMO on December 2,2002. 1187 The fourth
technique - sleep deprivation (defmed by the SMU TF as no less than 4 hours sleep in a 24
hour period") - was, in effect, authorized by the Secretary on December' 2, 2002, when he
authorized the use of 20 hour interrogations. 1188
_(
According to a summary of his statement to Church Report investigators,
the SMU interrogator who drafted the SMU SOP reviewed GTMO's list of requested counter
resistance techniques prior to draftin~ the SOP and discussed incorporating some of those
techniques into the SMU's policy. 118 While the interrogator told Church Report investigators

the SMU SOP, an investigation completed by the Department of Defense Inspector General in
2006 concluded that the SMU SOP "was influenced by the counter-resistance memorandum that
the Secretary of Defense approved on December 2,2002.,,1190
In addition, the SMU TF Legal Advisor who served in Afghanistan from
_
(
late November 2002 until early January 2003 Gust before the SMU TF SOP was issued) said that
the Secretary of Defense's December 2, 2002 authorization ftenerated discussion at the SMU TF
and influenced his thinking about interrogation techniques. 1 91 A legal review ofthe SMU TF's
January 10, 2003 interrogation SOP, conducted by the SMU Legal Advisor who took over that
job in early January, supports the DoD Inspector General's conclusion that the SOP was
influenced by the Secretary's December 2, 2002 authorization. 1192 In his legal review, the SMU
TF Legal Advisor referred to the techniques authorized by the Secretary of Defense for GTMO,
including stress positions, isolation, deprivation of light and auditory stimuli, hooding, 20 hour
interrogations, removal of clothing, and the use of dogs to induce stress, and stated:

SECDEF's approval of these techniques provides us the most persuasive


argument for use of 'advanced techniques' as we capture possible [high value
targets] or those that are enablers and have intelligence value of [high value
targets] ... the fact SECDEF approved use of the [CAT I/II/III] techniques at
GTMO, subject to the same laws, provides an analogy and basis for use of these
techniques [in accordance with] international and U.S. law. 1193
_
The SMU TF Legal Advisor concluded that the interrogation SOP proposed for
use by the SMU was in accordance with their "guidance and constraints," and therefore, "legally
sufficient.,,1194 In addition, the Legal Advisor recommended that the SMU "continue to
approach CENTCOM for clarifying guidance on whether the techniques apparently approved for
use at GITMO by SECDEF ... are applicable or can become applicable for use in the CENTCOM
AOR [area ofresponsibility]. If so incorporate those Category II techniques that are deemed
necessary for [the SMU's] success.,,1195

directed the establishment ofthe DoD Working Group on Interrogations. 1196 As discussed
above, the Working Group requested that the Joint Staff provide a list of interrogation techniques
"currently in effect or previously employed in CENTCOM and SOUfHCOM, techniques the
combatant commanders have found to be effective, and techniques the combatant commanders
desire to implement with accompanying rationale.,,1197 CENTCOM sent the Working Group's
request to CITF-180 and, in response, the CITF-180 Deputy Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) LTC
Robert Cotell produced a January 24, 2003 memo describing "current and past" interrogation
techniques used byCITF-180 interrogatorsy98 LTC Cotell's memo was sent to the Working
Group and to the Office ofthe Secretary of Defense. 1199
_
In his January 24, 2003 memo, LTC Cotell identified interrogation techniques
used by CITF-180, including up to 96 hours of isolation; the use of female interrogators to create
"discomfort" and gain more information; sleep adjustment, defmed as "four hours of sleep every
24 hours, not necessarily consecutive;" use of individual fears; removal of comfort items; use of
safety positions; isolation; deprivation oflirt and sound in living areas; the use of a hood during
interrogation; and mild physical contact. 120
_ L T C Cotell's January 24,2003 memo also recommended use of five additional
techniques, including "deprivation of clothing" to put detainees in a "shameful, uncomfortable
situation;" "food deprivation;" "sensory overload - loud music or temperature regulation;"
"controlled fear through the use of muzzled, trained, military working dogs;" and ''use of light
and noise deprivation,,1201
(U) LTC Cotell's memo included techniques that were among those Secretary Rumsfeld
had authorized for use at GTMO in December 2002. CITF-180 had obtained a list ofthose
techniques prior to LTC Cotell drafting his January 24,2003 memo. 1202

sometime in January 2003, CPT Carolyn Wood, the Officer in Charge (OIC) of the Intelligence

Wood said that, in early January, she saw a "secret power point presentation" containing the
techniques authorized for use at GTMO but did not recall where she had obtained the power
point presentation. 1204 Lt Col Moss did not know if JTF-GTMO had also sent CJTF-180 the
Secretary's letter that rescinded the use ofthose techniques. 1205

II In his January 24, 2003 memorandum, LTC Cotell, the CJTF-180 Deputy Staff Judge
Advocate acknowledged that the Secretary of Defense had rescinded authority to use similar
interrogation techniques at GTMO, stating that "[p]rior to their rescission, CJTF-180 used
selected techniques contained in SOUTHCOM's Cat II & III techniques ...,,1206
Notwithstanding that knowledge, however, the Church Report concluded that "in the absence of
any contrary guidance from CENTCOM, JCS, or OSD," CJTF-180 "considered the techniques in
their [January 24,2003] memo as available for use.,,1207 A summary of an interview with the
Deputy SJA at CENTCOM stated that ''the methodologies approved for GTMO... would appear
to me to be legal interrogation processes. [The Secretary of Defense] had approved them. The
General Counsel had approved them... I believe it is fair to say the procedures approved for
Guantanamo were legal for Mghanistan.,,1208
(U) In 2004, the Deputy Commander (Forward) U.S. Central Command LTG (later GEN)
John Abizaid stated that the January 24, 2003 memorandum had been '"thoroughly reviewed" by
the Working Group. 1209

III

Within three weeks ofthe January 24, 2003 memo, the SMU TF in Mghanistan
added the use of dogs to its interrogation policy.1210 Just over two months after the Secretary had
authorized dogs for use in interrogations at JTF-GTMO, the technique had become part of
interrogation SOPs for both the conventional forces and the SMU TF in Mghanistan.

CENTCOM Raises Concerns About Interrogation Techniques (U)

_
A week after the DoD Working Group on interrogations completed its report and
just five days before the Secretary issued his April 16, 2003 guidance for SOUTHCOM, Deputy
Commander of U.S. Central Command Lt Gen Michael DeLong sent a memorandum to the Vice
Chainnan of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace, requesting assistance in obtaining the
Secretary of Defense's a~R~oval of interrogation techniques requested by CJTF-180 in their
January 24, 2003 memo.

.The request came shortly after CAPT Jane Dalton, Legal Counsel for the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff had informed Barry Hammill, CENTCOM's Deputy Staff Judge
Advocate (SJA), that the Secretary of Defense's guidance on interrogation techniques would
likely apply only to GTMO. 1212 CAPT Dalton had been informed by DoD General Counsel Jim
Haynes that he would only concur in providing the techniques to SOUTHCOM, not to
CENTCOM. 1213 CAPT Dalton recalled that CENTCOM had requested techniques in their
January 24,2003 memo and told CENTCOM's lawyers that she could ask the Chairman to
engage with the Secretary of Defense on their behalf, ifthey were interested in using the
techniques authorized for GTMO. 1214
_
In his memorandum to Gen Pace, dated April 11, 2003, LTG DeLong said that
CENTCOM understood that "OSD may be close to making a decision that would be unfavorable
to the use ofthe requested interrogation techniques at the [Bagram Collection Point]" and was
concerned that disapproval ofthe techniques requested by CITF-180 would "lead to mission
degradation."l2lS The memo noted that the Commander of ITF-180, LTG McNeill, had
"specifically endorsed" the CITF-180 request to use aggressive techniques, including individual
fears, black out goggles, deprivation of light and sound, sleep adjustment, threat oftransfer to
another agency or country, and safety positions. 1216 Lt Gen DeLong requested the assistance of
VCJCS Gen Pace "in ensuring OSD approval" for the requested techniques. 1217

XII.

Development of Interrogation Pollcy in Iraq (U)

_
On March 20, 2003, a month before Lt Gen DeLong's request, the United
States and its coalition partners had launched Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). During the initial
stages ofOIF, conventional ground forces were directed by the Coalition Forces Land
Component Command (CFLCC). Combined Joint Task Force 7 CITF-7 r laced CFLCC in
the summer of 2003. As had been the case in Afghanistan,
deployed a Special Mission Unit (SMU) Task Force (TF) to Iraq to

(U) As previously described, for more than a year after the onset ofthe war in
Afghanistan, the only written guidance for interrogators appears to have been Army Field
Manual 34-52 (FM 34-52). When written policies were fmally established for interrogators in
Afghanistan in January 2003, those policies included some interrogation techniques that were not
listed in the Field Manual but had been previously authorized for use at Guantanamo Bay.

(U) By comparison, the Special Mission Unit (SMU) Task. Force (TF) in Iraq had an
interrogation policy in place before the beginning ofOIF. This policy was identical to the
February 2002 policy in use at the SMU Task Force in Mghanistan and reflected the influence of
techniques authorized for use at GTMO. 1219 The first policy to guide interrogations conducted
by conventional forces in Iraq, however, was not established until September 2003, more than
five months after that war began. That September 2003 policy was also influenced by techniques
authorized for use at GTMO.

A.

Special Mission Unit Task Force Interrogation Policies (U)

(U) According to a review completed by the DoD Inspector General in August 2006, the
SMU TF based its first interrogation policy on the SOP used by the SMU TF in Mghanistan.
The DoD Inspector General stated:
At the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the special mission unit forces
used a January 2003 Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which had been
developed for operations in Mghanistan. The Mghanistan SOP was influenced
by the counter-resistance memorandum that the Secretary of Defense approved on
December 2, 2002. . . and incorporated techniques designed for detainees who
were identified as 'unlawful combatants. 01223

_
Specifically, in February 2003, prior to the invasion of Iraq in March, the SMU
Task Force designated for operations in Iraq obtained a copy ofthe interrogation SOP in use by
the SMU personnel in Mghanistan, changed the letterhead, and adopted the SOP verbatim. 1224
This SOP, which included stress positions, sleep deprivation, and the use of dogs, governed
differences between the legal status of detainees held in Iraq and those in Afghanistan, the
SMU IF used the same interrogation approaches in both theaters. In addition, the cm -7 interrogation policies
included techniques that had been authorized for use at GTMO. By September 2003, interrogation approaches
initially authorized for a war in which the President had determined that the protections of the Geneva Conventions
did not apply, would be authorized for all U.S. forces in Iraq.

OGA Comments on SMU TF Interrogation Techniques (U)

_ I n May 2003, CAPT Dalton, Legal Counsel to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, sent an email to CENTCOM lawyers stating that CIA General Counsel Scott Muller had
called Jim Haynes and told him that the techniques used by military interrogators at the SMU TF
facility in Iraq were "more aggressive" than techniques used by CIA to interrogate the same
detainees. 1226
_ T h e email requested that CENTCOM provide a list of interrogation techniques in
use at Ba am in Af: anistan and at the SMU Task Force facility in Iraq. On June 8, 2003, the
Legal Advisor provided CENTCOM with a list of
interrogation techniques in use by the SMU TF in Iraq and Afghanistan. 1227 lbat list included
the presence of military working dogs, stress positions (called comfort positions in the memo),
sleep management, loud music and light control, and 20 hour interrogations. 1228 _
Legal Advisor did not recall receiving any feedback about the list of interrogation techniques
submitted to CENTCOM. 1229 Despite the presence ofaggressive techniques in the JSOC Legal
Advisor's June 8 memo, on June 10,2003 CENTCOM Deputy Commander, LTG Delong, sent a
message to the Director ofthe Joint Staff LTG George Casey stating that "I have confmned that
the military interrogations at both [the SMU TF facility in Iraq] and Bagrarn are conducted using
doctrinally appropriate techniques in accordance with [Army Field Manual] 34-52 and SECDEF
direction.,,12!O

stripping were to be authorized, it should be limited to males only and that naked detainees

Iraq Survey Group Concerns with SMU TF Detainee Treatment (U)

(U) The Iraq Survey Group was established in June 2003. According to its fIrSt
Commander MG Keith Dayton, the ISG's mission was to find weapons of mass destruction
(WMD) or evidence ofWMD and to provide support to the CIA special advisor on WMD. 12S2
MG Dayton reported directly to the CENTCOM Commander, GEN John Abizaid. As part of its
effort to gather intelligence on WMD, the ISG debriefed and interrogated high value detainees,
such as former members of Saddam Hussein's regime. Some of those detainees had been
captured and interrogated by the SMU TF and other operational units before being handed over
to the ISG. From the onset, ISG personnel had concerns about the SMU TF's treatment of
detainees.
(U) MG Dayton told the DoD Inspector General that "as our interrogators started getting
into the swing of things at Camp Crogper... some ofthe prisoners were alleging that they had
been roughed up" by the SMU T ~ o nstated that his Joint Interrogation and
Debriefing Center (JIDC) Chie~haddescribed the situation as "a disaster
waiting to happen" and believed that ISG needed to "slam some rules on this place right away to
basically ke~ ourselves from getting in trouble and make sure these people are treated
properly. ,,12

CJTF-7 Stands Up (Summer 2003) (U)

(U) In May 2003, Combined Joint Task Force 7 (CJTF-7) began preparations to take over
from CFLCC as the operational headquarters for all conventional ground units in the Iraqi
theater. The CJTF-7 Commander, LTG Sanchez, stated that during summer 2003, the general
belief was that the number offorces in Iraq had to shrink as quickly as possible and that,
accordingly, CENTCOM and CFLCC reduced troop levels "very, very rapidly.,,1266 LTG
Sanchez said that the drawdown left insufficient personnel behind for CITF-7 to fulfill its

not enable CITF-7 to address the requirements ofa Combined Joint Task Force operating at a

particularly concerned about his HUMINT capabilities, including the level of interrogation
expertise within CJTF-7, and that he "seriously questioned the training and experience of our
interrogators. 1269
(U) LTG Sanchez said he posed a challenge to his staff: "How do we ensure that we have
the right mechanisms in place that allow our interrogators to push the limit of our authorities yet
prevent a violation ofthe Geneva Convention and our duty to treat detainees humanely?,,127o He
said that "references to the [Field Manuals] and doctrine were common responses but the issues
being faced were beyond the scope ofthe Army's limited doctrine.,,1271 LTG Sanchez added that
there was frustration about the ability to get a handle on the insurgency and that he put a
tremendous amount of pressure on his intelligence officers. 1272
(U) The Commander of the 205 th Military Intelligence Brigade, COL Pappas, said that
soon after arriving in theater in July 2003, CJTF-7's Chief ofStaffBG Daniel Hahn directed him
1273
to attend a meeting to brief LTG Sanchez on interrogation operations.
COL Pappas told the
Committee that he learned at that meeting that LTG Sanchez was concerned that interrogations
1274
had not generated the expected intelligence infonnation.
COL Pappas said that LTG Sanchez
"believed that ifthe brigade improved its interrogation tactics, techniques, and procedures, that
we would get the information necessary to stop the insurgency.,,127S COL Pappas agreed and
told LTG Sanchez that his interrogators would need the authority to use additional interrogation
techniques to accomplish that goal. 1276

Operations Officer at the Bagram detention facility in Mghanistan.
(U) According to CPT Wood, no SOP was in place for interrogations when she took
command, but interrogations were conducted "within the approved ~proaches within the Field
Manual 34-52 only, with the possible addition of stress positions.,,12 0 CPT Wood stated that
interrogators had used sleep deprivation and stress positions in Mghanistan and that she
"perceived the Iraq experience to be evolving into the same operational environment as
Mghanistan,,1281 She said that she used her "best judgment and concluded [the techniques]
would be effective tools for interrogations at [Abu Ghraib].,,1282 She also said that she later put
together a request for additional interrogation options because "the winds of war were changing"
and there was "mounting pressure from higher for 'actionable intelligence' from interrogation
operations.,,1283 CPT Wood said that she did not want to repeat her experience in Mghanistan,
where interrogators lacked written guidance. 1284

51 VI' MI Battalion at Abu Ghraib Seeks Additional Guidance (U)

(U) CPT Wood said that guidance for interrogators about the rules for interrogations was
th
important because the interrogators in the 519 Battalion had come to Abu Ghraib with a range
of different experiences:
A lot of the interrogators and analysts also served in Guantanamo Bay and
Mghanistan where some other techniques were approved for use ... I understood
the Mghanistan rules were a little different because the detainees were not
classified as EPWs. It was, ''use techniques in the spirit of the Geneva
convention," not, ''you will apply the Geneva Convention." In order to use those
similar techniques from GTMO and Mghanistan in Iraq, we sought approval from
the higher command. 1285
(U) COL Pappas, CPT Wood's superior officer, said he knew that CPT Wood believed
she needed additional techniques and told her to submit a request. 1286

(U) On July 26, 2003, CPT Wood submitted a proposed interrogation policy to her chain
of command. The proposed policy was based on the interrogation policy in use at the SMU TF
facility in Iraq. 1287 CPT Wood said that she and her staff simply "cleaned up some ofthe
grammar, changed the headin~ and signature block, and sent it up" to CJTF-7 as a proposed
policy for the 519 th MI BDE. 1 88

II

Mirroring the SMU TF policies, CPT Wood's proposed policy included sleep
management, ''vary comfort positions" (sitting, standing, kneeling, prone), presence of military
working dogs, 20-hour interrogations, isolation, and yelling, loud music, and light control. 1289
The proposed policy stated that "EPWs that refuse to answer may not be threatened, insulted, or
exposed to unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind.,,1290 The prohibition against
threats, insults and exposure to unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment, however, was limited to
EPWs and CPT W cod stated that, to her knowledge, there were no EPWs held at Abu Ghraib. 1291
(U) CPT Wood stated that submitting the proposed interrogation policy seemed a "natural
progression" to her as she understood the teclmiques were already approved for use at the SMU
TF in Iraq, and the policy was "similar to that ofa document that was drafted in Afghanistan for
the [Bagram Collection Point] as well as ... GTMO.,,1292 CPT Wood did not hear back from
CJTF-7 at that time. 1293 Just a few weeks later CJTF-7 itself solicited a "wish list" of
interrogation techniques.

CJTF-7 Solicits "WISh List" ofInterrogation Techniques (U)

(U) On August 14, 2003, CPT William Ponce, the Battle Captain in the CJTF-7
HUMINT and Counterintelligence office (CJ2X), sent out an email to subordinate intelligence
elements (including the 205th MI BDE and the 519 th MI BN) requesting that they submit their

importantly, what techniques would they feel would be effective techniques that
SJA could review (basically provide a list). 1295
CPT Ponce added:
...The gloves are coming off gentleman regarding these detainees. Col. Boltz has
made it clear that we want these individuals broken. Casuahies are mounting and
we need to start gathering info to help protect our fellow soldiers from any further
attacks. 1296
(U) The Commander ofthe 205 th MI BDE, COL Pappas, said he thought that CPT
Ponce's email soliciting "interrogation techniques wish lists" was the result ofthe
meeting he attended with LTG Sanchez shortly after arriving in theater. 1297 He called the
Battle Captain's use ofthe ~hrase ''the gloves are coming off' a "dumb" thing to say and
a "poor choice of words.,,1 8 LTG Sanchez told the Committee that he expected his
intelligence staff to send out the request for interrogation techniques, but stated that the
use ofthe phrase ''the gloves are coming off' was "not good.,,1299 LTG Sanchez believed
that the email reflected frustration on the part of intelligence personnel at not being able
to meet his intelligence requirements.
(U) Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) Lewis Welshofer, who was with the 3rd Annored
Cavalry Regiment responded to CPT Ponce's email with his own assessment ofthe interrogation
situation:

Today's enemy, particularly those in [Southwest Asia], understand force, not


psychological mind games or incentives. I would propose a baseline interrogation
technique that at a minimum allows for physical contact resembling that used by
SERE schools (This allows open handed facial slaps from a distance of no more
than about two feet and back handed blows to the midsection from a distance of
about 18 inches. Again, this is open handed.) ...Other techniques would include
close confinement quarters, sleep deprivation, white noise, and a litany of harsher
fear-up approaches. . . fear of dogs and snakes appear to work nicely. I fIrmly
agree that the gloves need to come o:ff. I3OO

As for "the gloves need to come off... " we need to take a deep breath and
remember who we are. Those gloves are most defmitely NOT based on Cold War
or WWII enemies-they are based on clearly established standards of
international law to which we are signatories and in part the originators. Those in
tum derive from practices commonly accepted as morally correct, the so-called
"usages of war." It comes down to standards of right and wrong -something we
cannot just put aside when we find it inconvenient, any more than we can declare
that we will "take no prisoners" and therefore shoot those who surrender to us
simply because we find prisoners inconvenient.

"The casualties are mounting... " we have taken casualties in every war we have
ever fought-that is part of the very nature of war. We also inflict casualties,
generally more than we take. That in no way justifies letting go of our
standards. We have NEVER considered our enemies justified in doing such
things to us. Casualties are part of war-if you cannot take casualties then you
cannot engage in war. Period. BOTTOM LINE: We are American soldiers, heirs
ofa long tradition of staying on the high ground. We need to stay there. 1301

Interrogation Ole at Abu Ghraib Resubmits the Proposed Interrogation


Policy for 519'" MI BN (U)

(U) On August 27,2003, CPT Wood re-submitted the proposed interrogation policy that
she had previously sent in July. She said she thought the issue came up because CJTF-7
headquarters "want[ed] these guys broken" and said her August submission may have been a
response to CPT P once , s emal'1 . 1302

_
Though largely the same as the proposed policy submitted on July 26, 2003, the
August 27, 2003 proposed policy included one additional interrogation technique - "sensory
deprivation," which the ro osed olic described as a "combination use of isolation and sleep
management
.. 1303 The proposed interrogation
policy also inserted the term "stress positions" in place of "vary comfort positions" and limited
use of sleep deprivation to 72 hours. 304
(U) CPT Wood said that two days after she submitted the proposed policy, two lawyers
from cm-7 visited Abu Ghraib with a copy of her memo. 130S According to CPT Wood, the

two attorneys said that "they did not see anything wrong with it and that they would add their
approval and forward it higher to CITF-7 for consideration and review.,,1306

(U) Techniques in CPT Wood's proposed policy can be traced back though the SMU TF
in Iraq to Mghanistan and, ultimately, to techniques authorized for use at GTMO by Secretary
Rumsfeld in December 2002. The GTMO techniques were, in tum, influenced by techniques
used by the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency and the military service SERE schools to train
U.S. personnel to resist illegal enemy interrogations. In the summer of2003, as CPT Wood was
seeking approval for her proposed policy, the SMU TF in Iraq was soliciting JPRA's advice on
interrogations.

_
In the summer of 2003 the Commander of the Special Mission Unit (SMU) Task
Force (TF) in Iraq,
called the Commander of JPRA, Col Randy Moulton,
to request assistance with Task Force interrogations. 1307
_
On Aumst 25, 2003, the SMU Task Force in Iraq formally requested a JPRA
"interrogation team." 08 The request asked that JPRA send two or more individuals to the TF
for three weeks to "provide assistance to current interro ation efforts ofke

JPRA to provide the requested support to the SMU TF.

Christopher Wirts, the Chief of JPRA's Operations Support Office (OSO)
subsequently selected three JPRA personnel for the mission. As Team Chie~ Mr. Wirts chose U
Col Steven Kleinman, a reserve officer who happened to be a trained interrogator. Mr. Wirts

interrogation experience but who the SMU TF had specifically requested. The team's
deployment date was set for September 1,2003. 1311
(U) Lt Col Kleinman said that, before being deployed, he thought he was being sent to
Iraq to identify problems in the TF interrogation program. 1312 More than a year earlier, Lt Col
Kleinman had drafted a paper identifying challenges faced by interrogators at GTMO. 1313 In the
draft paper, Lt Col Kleinman identified "fundamental systemic problems" at GTMO that
undermined operational effectiveness. 1314

._
Chiefamong the problems identified in the draft paper was the lack oftrained
personnel with experience in strategic interrogations. 131S Lt Col Kleinman recommended a
number of options in his draftRaper to enhance DoD's ability to conduct strategic interrogation,
including additional training. 1 16 He recommended having experienced "survival, intelligence,
and human factors specialists" conduct an "in-depth assessment" of operations at GTMO and
provide a "comprehensive reR0rt that would set forth concrete steps to improve operational
effectiveness and security.,,1 17 Lt Col Kleinman's paper did not recommend teaching
interrogators at GTMO how to use SERE techniques in interrogations and he said that he did not
believe that was the purpose ofthe Iraq trip. 1318

previous "offensive" training sessions completed his assignment as the J3 at JFCOM in early to
mid-August and was replaced by RADM John Bird. 1321
(U) On September 4, 2003, just as the JPRA team was arriving in Iraq, Col Mouhon
emailed a JPRA "Weekly Report" to the JFCOM Command Group and others stating:

We deployed a Personnel Recovery Support Team to Baghdad in support of


CENTCOM and [redacted] interrogation requirements. This is an issue that may
merit Lessons Learned visibility, as there is currently no focal point within DoD
for strategic debriefmg / interrogation [tactics, techniques, and procedures]
development (offensive).
Currently, subject matter expertise on captivity
environments, psychology, and maintenance resides almost solely within JPRA
(defensive). 1322
(U) In response, the JFCOM Deputy Commander LTG Robert Wagner, questioned
whether JPRA was operating within its charter. He wrote: "I'm not sure I see the connection
between your assigned responsibilities and this task ... [W]hat charter places JPRA in the
business of intelligence collection?,,1323 Col Moulton responded "There is nothing in our charter
or elsewhere that points us towards the offensive side of captivity conduct nor are we requesting
to take this on as a new responsibility.,,1324 He added, however, that JPRA had a role to play in
helping to educate and assist offensive operations, stating;

[Those conducting interrogations] have already demonstrated the need for our
understanding and knowledge of captivity environment and psychology. We are
also well aware of the problems associated with crossing the Rubicon into intel
collection (or anything close). There may be a compromise position (my gut
choice) whereby we could provide/assist in oversight, training, analysis, research,
and [tactics, techniques, and procedures] development, while leavin~ the actual
debriefmglinterrogation to those already assigned the responsibility. 132
(U) In a subsequent email to RADM Bird, Col Moulton stated that while he was
concerned about "mission creep" and departing too far from JPRA's traditional role, it was his
view that "no DoD entity has a firm grasp on any comprehensive approach to strategic
debriefmglinterrogation.,,1326 Col Moulton wrote:

exploitation. I think that JPRAlJFCOM needs to keep involved for reasons of
TTP development and information sharing. Weare NOT looking to expand our
involvement to active participation. The current support was intended to be
limited to advice, assistance, and observation. Our potential participation is
predicated solely on the request ofthe Combatant Commander. 1327

(U) Col Moulton testified to the Committee that before he sent the JPRA team to Iraq he
talked to the SMU Task Force commander and was told that SMU TF detainees "were detained
unlawful combatants and not covered under the Geneva Conventions." 1328 Col Moulton later
said, referring to a subsequent call with the SMU TF Commander, that he did not know ifthe
SMU TF Commander had "specifically" told him that. 1329

JPRA Provides Interrogation Support to the Special Mission Unit Task


Force in Iraq (U)1330

_
On September 5, 2003, after their arrival in Iraq, the three-member JPRA team
met with SMU TF personnel at the TF facility. 1331 According to U Col Kleinman, the JPRA
Team Chief, the team was told that interrogators were having trouble gaining actionable
intelligence information from detainees in TF custody.1332 Lt Col Kleinman felt that the SMU
TF's lack of success was a resuh ofa poor screening process, which resulted in the TF holding
some detainees with no information. 1333

~errence Russell the team also met that day with the SMU TF
C o m m _ and discussed
expectations for the JPRA
1334
team.
Mr. Russell said that
"expected [the JPRA team] to become fully
engaged in interrogation operations" and "encouraged [the team] to receive modified" rules of
engagement (ROEs) from JPRA, since their ROEs at that time permitted the team to "advise and
assist" but not to "engage in direct interrogations.,,133S

Over the next week, Lt Col Kleinman spoke by phone with Col Moulton at least
twice. While accounts by the three JPRA team members of those calls differed in some respects,
all agree that the calls resulted in Col Moulton (1) authorizing the team to participate in SMU
Task Force interrogations and (2) authorizing the team to use the full range of SERE school
physical pressures in those interrogations. Col Moulton confIrmed that the team's understanding
of his guidance was correct. 1336

JPRA Team Authorized to Participate in Interrogations (U)

_
According to Mr. Russell, Lt Col Kleinman called Col Moulton on September 5,
2003 to discuss the team's ROEs and, the following day, Col Moulton gave the team permission
to "become fully engaged in all BIF operations.,,1337 That account is consistent with Col
Moulton's recollection, which was that Lt Col Kleinman called him after arriving in Iraq to
discuss a request from the SMU TF that team members actually participate in interrogations. 1338
_ _ _ _ _ Col Moulton said that, after getting the call from Lt Col Kleinman, he called.
~ o confIrm and inquire about the new request.,,1339 In s ~ sand
communications, Col Moulton has consistently stated that he relayedllllllllllllll.request
to JFCOM and got JFCOM's authorization to permit the JPRA team to participate in
interrogations. Col Moulton's recollection of who at JFCOM provided that authority, however,
has varied.
(U) According to a memorandum of a September 2005 interview with the JPRA

Commander, Col Moulton "relayed the request to the [JFCOM] J3 and got the verbal OK to

allow active participation, but only for one or two demonstrations and then the team was to go

back to its role as observers.,,1340

(U) In a 2006 email to the DoD IG, however, Col Moulton could not recall exactly whom
at JFCOM he had spoken with, stating:

During the deployment I received a call from the Task Force commander
requesting that our personnel participate in the debriefIng. I notifIed JFCOM
leadership of the request (either BG Moore or LTG Wagner I can't remember, but
think it was [LTG] Wagner since this was late on a weekend night) and was told
that they could support, but that any activities had to be approved through the task
forces legal rep (we were chopped to them). 1341

In interviews with Committee staff in 2007, Col Moulton said that he had tried
but had been unable to reach BGen Moore, so instead he called LTG Wagner whom he reached
at home. 1342 According to that account, LTG Wagner told Col Moulton that he needed aEproval
from his boss, JFCOM Commander ADM Giambastiani, to approve the JPRA re~est. 13 3
According to Col Moulton, LTG Wagner called him back and gave his approval. 1 44
_
BGen Moore, whom Col Moulton referenced in his September 2005 interview,
was no longer assigned to JFCOM in September 2003. 1345 RADM Bird, who replaced BGen
Moore, stated that he did not recall receiving a call from the JPRA Commander. RADM Bird
said that he thought it unlikely he would have received the call on the weekend as it would have
had to have occurred over a secure line and he did not have that capability at home. LTG
Wagner told the Committee that he could not recall if he received a call from Col Moulton. 1346

According to Terrence Russell, one ofthe JPRA team in Iraq, the JPRA team
received permission from Col Moulton "to become fully engaged in all BIF operations.,,1347 The
next day, team members met with the SMU TF staff and "outlined the exploitation cycle and
how [the staff] could incorporate [SERE Training, Tactics, and Procedures] to support their
current interrogation operations.,,1348
While it is not known when it occurred, the Chief ofHuman Intelligence and
Counterintelligence (J-2X) for the SMU stated that members ofthe JPRA team demonstrated
interrogation techniques, including the "attention slap," which he said was described as an open
handed slap to focus the detainee on the interrogation, and walling, which was described as a
push up against the wall. 1349 The J-2X could not recall if all members ofthe JPRA team were
present during that lesson. 1350 Lt Col Kleinman said that he was not aware of such a lesson. 1351

JPRA Present as Interrogator Uses Stress Positions and Slaps (U)

_
On September 6, 2003, JPRA team members were present in the interrofiation
booth when a SMU TF interrogator used "selected physical pressures" on a detainee. 13
According to Terrence Russell, the SMU TF interrogator "put the detainee on his knees and later
began to use insult slaps every 3-4 seconds for an extended period of time." 1354
(U) Lt Col (now Colonel) Kleinman described that same interrogation in testimony
before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Lt Col Kleinman said:

I walked into the interrogation room, all painted in black with [a] spotlight on the
detainee. Behind the detainee was a military guard... with a[n] iron bar...
slapping it in his hand. The interrogator was sitting in a chair. The interpreter
was - was to his left... and the detainee was on his knees ... A question was asked
by the interrogator, interpreted, the response came back and, upon interpretation,
the detainee would be slapped across the face... And that continued with every
question and every response. I asked my colleagues how long this had been going
on, specifically the slapping, they said approximately 30 minutes. 1355
(U) Lt Col Kleinman said that his two JPRA colleagues, who were present during
the interrogation, "didn't seem to think there [was] a problem, because in SERE
training... there's a facial slap, but it's conducted in very specific ways ... This was not
conducted in that fashion.,,1356 In fact, Lt Col Kleinman described the environment at the
Task Force facility as ''uncontrolled.,,1357

_
Members ofthe JPRA team had differing views on the appropriate response to the
interrogator's use ofthose techniques. Mr. Russell stated that he and Mr. Miller "saw nothing
wrong with" the interrogator forcing the detainee to kneel or his slapping the detainee during the
interrogation. 1358 Lt Col Kleinman had a different reaction.
_
Lt Col Kleinman considered forcing the detainee to kneel and repeatedly slapping
him to be "direct violations ofthe Geneva Conventions and [actions that] could constitute a war
crime." 1359 Upon witnessing the abusive conduct, Lt Col Kleinman sought out the SMU TF J
mz Committee staff interview of SMU TF J2X (February 5, 2008).

2X 1360 Lt Col Kleinman told the J-2X what he had witnessed and recommended ''that the
session be halted immediately.,,1361 Lt Col Kleinman said the J-2X told him "[y]our judgment is
my judgment. Do what you think. is right.,,1362
_
Following his conversation with the J-2X, Lt Col Kleinman asked the two
members of his team to step out ofthe interrogation booth. According to Mr. Russell:

In the hallway [Lt Col] Kleinman asked us our impression of the use of the
kneeling and slaps. We both indicated that we saw nothing wrong with what was
going on. He asked us our opinion of the slapping and we said they were only
insult slaps and were not inflicting any pain to the detainee. [Lt Col] Kleinman
indicated his disagreement and that both the slaps and kneeling were direct
violations of the Geneva Conventions and could constitute a war crime. He
further indicated that he wanted to intervene and stop the interrogation at that
point. 1363
_
Over the objections of the other two members ofJPRA team. Lt Col Kleinman
then asked the SMU TF interrogator to step out ofthe booth. He explained to the interrogator
"how and why [the interrogator's] methods were a violation ofthe Geneva Convention and TF
[POlicy].,,1364 According to Lt Col Kleinman, "[the interrogator] accepted my direction without
reservation.,,1365
.

With respect to Lt Col Kleinman's actions, Mr. Russell stated:

I think the clear violation of the TF policy was of a minor nature - that being a
10-minute extension of the kneeling policy. The use of insult slaps was, in the
opinion of [Lt Col] Kleinman, serious enough to stop the interrogation - an action
I did not then or now feel warranted his direct intervention. 1366

II In subsequent testimony to the Committee, Mr. Russell claimed that the use ofthe
"insult slap" was consistent with the facility's operating instructions:
Under their operating instructions at that BIF, at that time and place, we did not
see anything wrong with [the use of physical pressures]. It may not have been

applied the way we would have done it, but we didn't see anythin wrong with it.
We advised [Lt Col] Kleinman ofthe same. He disagreed with us. 367
_
SMU TF SOPs reviewed by the Committee do not include slapping as an
authorized technique and the SMU TF J-2X told the Committee that he was unaware of any
operating instructions that would have permitted an interrogator to repeatedly slap a detainee. 1368

III Despite Mr. Russell's previous statement that he "saw nothing wrong with what was
going on," he testified to the Committee that he found the SMU TF interrogator's repeated use of
the insult slap to be "odd" and "in excess" of what would be used in resistance training at
JPRA 1369 Mr. Russell also testified that the technique, as applied by the TF interrogator, was
ineffective:
[The] insult slap is just that, it's an insult. After you do it two or three times it
loses its effectiveness because the [sic], in our world, the student is anticipating
the slap. It loses its effectiveness if you do it more than two or three or four
times. 1370
_(
While he did not raise any objection to their use in the interrogation, Mr.
Russell stated that the techniques used at the SERE school, such as the insult slap, were not
designed to elicit information from individuals but rather to "guide the student" to an appropriate
resistance posture. 1371 According to his testimony, "history has shown us that physical pressures
are not effective for compelling an individual to give information or to do something" and are
not useful in gaining accurate, actionable intelligence. 1372 There is no indication in Mr.
Russell's trip report, however, that he told anyone on the J-2X staffthat the SMU TF's use of
repeated slaps would be ineffective or that use of other SERE physical pressures, such as
''walling'', which were reportedly described for the J-2X staff, would be ineffective.
Mr. Russell stated that when physical pressures are applied in the resistance phase of
SERE training, medical and psychological personnel are present to observe interrogations and
protect SERE school students,1373 Mr. Russell testified that there were no medical or
psychological personnel present during the interrogations he witnessed while at the SMU TF

JPRA Team Authorized to Use SERE Techniques (U)

(U) At some point shortly after he intervened to stop the interrogation where the detainee
was placed on his knees and slappe~ Lt Col Kleinman called Col Moulton. 137S Lt Col Kleinman
testified before the Committee that he told Col Moulton that the JPRA team was "being asked to
use the full range of SERE methods in the interrogation of detainees.,,1376 Lt Col Kleinman
testified that he also told Col Mouhon that he had intervened to stop interrogations at the Task
Force and that the use of SERE techniques "were violations ofthe Geneva Convention, they
weren't authorized, and we should not do them.,,1377
(U) Lt Col Kleinman said that he also told the SMU TF Commander that the use of SERE
techniques in interrogations was ''unlawful'' and "a violation ofthe Geneva Convention.,,1378 He
said that the SMU TF Commander agreed with him but there were "no orders ever issued" by the
Commander not to use the techniques. 1379
_
(
According to Lt Col Kleinman's trip report, after~l
Moulton, Col Moulton subsequently spoke to the SMU TF Commander,
and
then called him back to tell him that the JPRA team was "cleared hot" to use ''the full range of
JPRA methods" on detainees, specifically including "walling, sleep deprivation, isolation,
physical pressures (to include various stress positions, facial and stomach slaps, and finger pokes
to the chest), space/time disorientation, [and] white noise.,,1380
(U) Lt Col Kleinman also testified to the Committee that Col Moulton told him that the
JPRA team was "cleared hot to use SERE methods" in interrogations. 1381 Lt Col Kleinman
testified that he told Col Moulton that he considered this instruction to be an illegal order and
that he would not carry it out. Col Moulton said that Lt Col Kleinman "was adamant about that

JPRA Commander's order that they could use ''the normal and usual range of physical rsressures"
during interrogations and to alert them of his concerns about the legality ofthat order. 1 84 Mr.
Russell wrote in his trip report:
[Lt Col] Kleinman indicated that he felt [it was] ' ... an illegal order' and we were
exposing ourselves to possible future difficulties if we used any pressure
inconsistent with the Geneva Conventions. 1385

(U) Lt Col Kleinman also testified to the Committee that he relayed his conversation with
Col Moulton to his two lPRA colleagues, informing them that he told Col Moulton that the
authority to use SERE techniques "was an unlawful order" and that he "wasn't going to have any
involvement with it, and [he] didn't think that they should either.,,1386
_
Both Mr. Russell and Mr. Miller, the JPRA contractor, disagreed with Lt Col
Kleinman's assessment. 1387 According to Mr. Russell, the two "indicated that the use of these
moderate physical pressures, when used appropriately, were consistent with proper handling and
interrogation.,,1388 In testimony to the Committee, Mr. Russell added that he understood that the
individuals held by the Task Force were considered "detained unlawful combatants" and "not
automatically provided the protections ofthe Geneva Conventions," though he could not recall
who told him this. 1389
_(
Shortly after Col Moulton told Lt Col Kleinman that the team was
"cleared hot" to employ the full range of JPRA methods, Lt Col Kleinman recommended that the
TF Legal Advisor arrange a formal briefing with the SMU TF interrogation staff and the lPRA
team 1390 In that meeting, Lt Col Kleinman reported that the TF Legal Advisor "set forth legal
limitations that essentially excluded most ofthe [JPRA methods] (with the use of certain stress
positions, such as kneeling on a hard floor for up to 30 minutes, cited as an acceptable
method).,,1391
(U) Lt Col Kleinman testified to the Committee that although the SMU TF lawyer agreed
with him that it was unlawful to use SERE techniques in interrogations, when the lawyer later
briefed interrogators on the techniques, there was no longer "any clarity" about whether or not
they were illegal. 1392

JPRA Training Manager and Contractor Participate in an Interrogation


(U)

(U) Lt Col Kleinman testified to the Committee that after he told his two JPRA
colleagues that Col Moulton had "cleared hot" their use of SERE techniques in interrogations,
his colleagues decided to "demonstrate the way you handle an interrogation.,,139S
_
(
Around the time that Lt Col Kleinman met with the SMU TF Legal
Advisor, Mr. Russell and Mr. Miller met separately with the SMU TF Director ofIntelli1ence (J

instance, Mr. Russell and Mr. Miller took the lead in the interrogation of a detainee. 1397 The
interrogation began with the simulated release of the detainee - the detainee was permitted to
clean up, leave the facility, and was escorted to a bus stop, when he was "captured" again. 1398
When the detainee was brought back to the SMU TF facility, Mr. Russell and Mr. Miller took

(U) Lt Col Kleinman also described that interrogation intestimony to the Senate Armed
Services Committee. He said the detainee was driven away from the Task Force's interrogation
facility to make him think he was being released and then brought back to a "bunker that was
about a story ... into the ground - cement, cold, dark.,,1403 He said:
[The detainee] was literally carried by two of the guards into the bunker
struggling against them. He was taken down there. My two JPRA colleagues
took over from that point. .. [T]hey ripped his Abaya off - not cut - they ripped it
off... ripped off his underwear, took his shoes, they'd hooded him already, then
they - they had shackled him by the wrist and ankles - being screamed at the
entire time in his ear in English about essentially... what a poor specimen of
human that he was ... And then the orders were given that he was to stand in that
position for 12 hours no matter how much he asked for help, no matter how much
he pleaded, unless he passed out, the guards were not to respond to any requests
for help. 1404

(U) Lt Col Kleinman said that he told his colleagues that what they did was
''unlawful'' and he stopped the interrogation. l40s

Mr. Russell testified to the Committee that the detainee was naked only for "however
long it took to have his clothes taken offand put the new dish-dash on again.,,1406
_
In his trip report, Lt Col Kleinman reported that he told the two other JPRA team
members that he disagreed with their approach. 1407 Mr. Russell stated that the exploitation
scenario was conducted after coordination with the J-2X staff and that the techniques, including
isolation and sleep deprivation, were "employed in accordance with existing TF guidance and
pOlicy.,,1408 While Col Kleinman testified that he intervened to stop the interrogation, Mr.
Russell said that Lt Col Kleinman never raised an objection to the interrogation. 1409

JPRA Develops a Concept ofOperations (CONOP) (U)

_
While the team was in Iraq,
requested that JPRA develop a
formal Concept of Operations (CONOP) for detainee exploitation. 142o Col Moulton tasked
members ofthe team with developing the CONOp. 1421 Mr. Russell's trip report stated that he
drafted the CONOP in Iraq and that Mr. Miller and Lt Col Kleinman reviewed it and offered
suggestions. 1422 He later testified to the Committee that he drafted a "skeleton of a CONOP"
with Mr. Miller and that Lt Col Kleinman was aware that they were working on it. 1423 Lt Col
Kleinman said that he knew that his team members were working on a CONOP, but that he did
not see sections of it. 1424
(U) Lt Col Kleinman testified that he told Mr. Russell that he would not participate in
drafting the CONOP because he "absolutely disagreed with that type of expansion ofthe use of.
SERE methods," and that his "contribution would be nothing but contrary.,,1425

_
While the JPRA team was still in Iraq, the draft was shared with and edited by
JPRA eersonnel in the U.S., including Christopher Wirts, JPRA's Operations Support Office
Chief. 426 The CONOP, called "Concept of Operations for HVT exploitation," provided JPRA's
"recommendations and guidance to USG forces conducting exploitation operations. 1427
_
The September 2003 CONOP was similar to the April 2002 "Exploitation Draft
Plan" that Dr. Bruce Jessen, JPRA's former senior SERE psycholo~st, had drafted shortly
before JPRA's support t o _ the DoD General Counsel. 14 8 As had the April 2002
exploitation draft plan, the CONOP described a JPRA-directed exploitation process and included
recommendations for exploitation and captivity operations, such as "tailoring detainee
punishment consequences to maximize cultural undesirability.,,1429
_
The September 2003 CONOP also identified "critical operational exploitation
principles," including:

JPRA Team Leaves Iraq (U)

(U) According to the DoD Inspector General's August 2006 report, when it "became
apparent that friction was developing" between the SMU TF and the JPRA team, ''the decision
was made to pull the team out [ofIraq] before more damage was done to the relationship
between the two organizations.,,1436 Lt Col Kleinman referred to the DoD IG report's statement
that "friction was developing" as an understatement and said that he felt his life was being
threatened at the SMU TF. 1437 He recalled one instance (after he stopped what he believed to be
in violation ofthe Geneva Conventions) in which an SMU TF member told him, while
sharpening a knife, to "sleep lightly," noting that they did not "coddl[e] terrorists" at the SMU
TF. 1438
_The SMU TF Legal Advisor told the Committee that JPRA had no business at the
SMU TF facility either assisting in or conducing interrogations and that he sought to have the
the SMU TF
team removed 1439 The Legal Advisor said that he met with
Commander, and told him that SERE training was not meant for detainees and that JPRA's
presence had the potential to lead to abuse. He also recalled telling the Commander that JPRA
was not qualified or trained to perform interrogations. The Legal Advisor said that_
_
did not act on his concerns.

_
Mr. Russell wrote in his trip report that the SMU TF Operations Officer (J-3) also
recommended to
that the JPRA team should leave the facility, noting that the J
3 ''was particularly concerned over the [JPRA] CONOP having been sent [to JPRA headquarters]
without his staff's security review.,,1440 On September 22, 2003, the JPRA Commander directed
Lt Col Kleinman and Mr. Miller to return to the U.S., but told Mr. Russell to remain in place for
''the possible arrival of a follow-up team.,,1441 On September 23, 2003, the team's original

The initial decision to keep Mr. Russell in theater may be relevant to discussions Col Moulton was
having with CENTCOM about the possibility of sending another three-man team to Iraq. Shortly after the original
team left for Iraq, Col Moulton began discussions about sending a JPRA team to assist CENTCOM. On September
3,2003, Col Moulton contacted the JPRArepresentative at CENTCOM and explained the genesis of their SMU TF
mission and how he thought such support might be expanded to other missions and organizations throughout the
CENTCOM AOR. Col Moulton wrote:

I've been in contact with


in Baghdad. He was the one who requested the
[JPRA team] to assist in interrogation training. He also mentioned that there are several entities
doing interrogations, and there is no standardization/methodology on how to conduct / coordinate
the process. He asked me to bring a team over to observe what they are doing and what others are
doing. I think it would be a good idea to bring a team over to observe what they are doing and
what others are doing. I think it would be a good idea to bring a team forward (3 person - myself,
Chris Wirts, Terry Russell) to visit the various interrogation facilities and report back to lCS
(through CENTCOM and the JFCOMILL folks) with observations and potential
recommendations.

U.S. Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) Reviews JPRA Concept Of


Operations (CONOP) (U)

(U) The same day the JPRA team returned home from Iraq, a copy of the JPRA HVT
exploitation CONOP was sent to CAPT Donovan, the JFCOM SJA 1443 CAPT Donovan
commented on the CONOP in a September 26, 2003 email to Col Moulton, JPRA Deputy
Commander John Atkins, OSO Chief Christopher Wirts and others, and circulated a version of
the CONOP with his edits and comments.
(U) In his email, CAPT Donovan stated that JPRA should not rely on the March 6, 2003
Working Group report as "authoritative DoD guidance." He wrote that, although the Secretary
had approved certain counter-resistance techniques during interrogations of unlawful combatants
at GTMO, not all ofthe techniques listed in the Working Group report had been approved for
use. l444 CAPT Donovan also raised serious concerns about the legality ofthe interrogation
techniques in the CONOP emphasizing that, unlike in Mghanistan and at GTMO, the Geneva
Conventions applied in Iraq. He wrote:

Unlike OEF-Mghanistan, in which the Taliban and Al-Qaida enemy 'forces'


were all deemed to be UNLAWFUL combatants NOT legally entitled to the full
protections of the Geneva conventions, Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) was
executed as a CONVENTIONAL armed conflict in which the vast majority of
enemy forces were LAWFUL combatants. Therefore, almost all captured
personnel within Iraq are legally entitled to either prisoner of war (POW) or
civilian internee (CI) status which means they get the full protections of the
Geneva Conventions. Many of the counter-resistance techniques approved by
SECDEF for use on UNLAWFUL combatants detained at GTMO would not/not
be legal under the Geneva Conventions if applied to POWs or CIs in Iraq. 1445
_ I n editing the CONOP, CAPT Donovan not only struck references to several
interrogation techniques that had been included in the March 6, 2003 draft Working Group

Col Moulton also stated that he had pitched the idea to JFCOM:
I can
Having said that, I think the request needs to come from CENTCOM, not just _
support, and have already presented the concept to JFCOM. We just need the invite. Long-term
is to identify the need for an OSD OPR [Office of Primary Responsibility] for strategic
debrieftng/interrogation. To put it into football terms, we (JPRA) are the quarterback for
defensive resistance operations - there is no quarte~iveresistance opemtions.
Where that responsibility would ultimately fall (JP~ is not the issue, but mther
that someone has to take the lead.

report, but also noted that even those techniques approved by the Secretary of Defense for use at
GTMO might not be lawful for use on detainees in Iraq. 1446
_
CAPT Donovan also substantially revised JPRA's "critical operational
exploitation principles" by, for example, adding that detainee treatment must be "in accordance
with the approved [Rules of Engagement]" and clarifying that Rules of Engagement must be .
within U.S. law and policy including - but not simply limited to -the Torture Convention. 1447
CAPT Donovan struck JPRA's reference to "constant sensory deprivation" completely, noting
that the technique was neither approved by the March 6, 2003 Working Group report nor by the
Secretary of Defense in his April 16, 2003 guidance for SOlITHCOM. 1448
_
Days later, CAPT Donovan raised his concerns about the CONOP to LTG
Wagner, JFCOM's Deputy Commander, and Maj Gen James Soligan, JFCOM's Chief of Staff,
in anticipation of a scheduled visit by the two to JPRA 1449 CAPT Donovan stated that while it
made "a certain amount of sense to seek JPRA's advice regarding interrogation techniques that
[had] been successfully used against us by our enemies," he was concerned that the SMU TF
"may have gone a bit further by asking JPRA to develop a CONOP for "more effective"
interrogations [by the SMU] ofHVTs captured in Iraq.,,14S0 He expressed particular concerns
with the "interrogation techniques" included in the CONOP:
A number of the 'interrogation techniques' suggested by JPRA in their draft
CONOP are highly aggressive (such as the 'water board') and it probably goes
without saying that if JPRA is to include such techniques in a CONOP they
prepare for an operational unit in another [Area of Responsibilityl, they need to be
damn sure they're appropriate in both a legal and a policy sense. 1 S1

JFCOM VerifIeS Team Chiefs Account ofEvents in Iraq (U)

(U) In May 2004, the Department of Defense (DoD) Inspector General (lG) initiated a
review of DoD directed reports of detainee abuse. 14S2 As part ofthat review, the DoD IG looked
into JPRA's "offensive" interrogation support. In response to questions from the DoD IG, CAPT
Alan Kaufman, the JFCOM SJA, initiated an inquiry into JPRA's September 2003 support to the
SMU TF in Iraq. According to CAPT Kaufman, the scope of the JFCOM inquiry was narrow,
focusing only on whether or not the incidents described in Lt Col Kleinman's trip report had

been reported up the chain of command to JFCOM. 1453 On September 23, 2005, after JFCOM
concluded its inquiry, JFCOM's Deputy Commander LTG Wagner sent a memo to the DoD IG
stating:
This command looked into the information flow between the requesting unit, Joint
Personnel Recovery Agency, (JPRA) and the chain of command at USJFCOM
with regard to JPRA's participation in the two subject missions to assist in the
global war on terror. While most requests and decisions were verbal, I concluded
that information did flow up the chain of command to the appropriate authority.
Action was taken based on JPRA Commanding Officer's (CO) judgment and.
input from the chain of command ... 1454
(U) The memo continued:

The actions Lt Col Kleinman witnessed did occur. However, all others involved,
including the JPRA [Commanding Officer] and the [Commanding Officer] of the
task force believed them to be authorized actions under the existing decisions by
DoD General Counsel. The [Commanding Officer] conveyed this to Lt Col
Kleinman both during and after the deployment. Lt Col Kleinman did not seek
any other response or relief, nor take any issue up his chain of command. 1455

(U) During the summer of2003 Combined Joint Task Force 7 (CJTF-7) ass~ed control
of coalition forces in Iraq from its predecessor, the Combined Forces Land Component
Command (CFLCC). The Commander of CJTF-7, LTG Sanchez, said that when he took over
from CFLCC he identified deficiencies with existing intelligence operations. 1456 LTG Sanchez
said that he participated in regular video teleconferences and phone calls with CENTCOM and
the Office ofthe Secretary of Defense (OSD) during which he shared his concerns about his
command's intelligence capabilities and asked for assistance. LTG Sanchez stated:

I was very concerned about our ability to really push the envelope to the limits of
our authority in interrogations. I went back to Washington and said "You've got
to send us some help because this is a problem that is way beyond an~hing we
could imagine and it's a problem that hasn't been faced by our Army.,,14 7

(U) Even before the CITF-7 Commander sought assistance, however, discussions had
apparently taken place about whether to send MG Geoffrey Miller, the GTMO Commander, to
Iraq to assess operations there. In May 2003, before CITF-7 took command in Iraq from
CFLCC, LTG Ronald Burgess, the Director for Intelligence (J-2) at the Joint Stafftold MG
Miller that a request would be forthcoming for him to lead an assessment trip to Iraq. 1458
According to an investigation conducted by MG George Fay and LTG Anthony Jones, the Joint
Stafflater requested that SOUTHCOM send a team to assist CENTCOM and the Iraq Survey
Group "with advice on facilities and operations specific to screening, interrogations, HUMINT
collection, and interagency integration in the short and long term.,,1459
(U) The.Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USDI) Stephen Cambone said that
MG Miller was asked to go to Iraq "at my encouragement, to take a look at the situation as it
existed there.,,1460 LTG William Boykin, the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence
and Warfighter Support said that the decision to send MG Miller to Iraq was made in a meeting
that included USDI Cambone and the Secretary ofDefense. 1461

GTMO Assessment Team Travels to Iraq (U)

_
From August 31 to September 10, 2003, MG Miller led a team to assess
intelligence operations in Iraq. 1462 The ITF-GTMO Commander was accompanied by several
ITF-GTMO and former ITF-GTMO staff, including LTC Diane Beaver, the former SJA, and
David Becker, the former Interrogation Control Element (ICE) Chief. Additionally, MG Miller
brought representatives from the CIA and the DoD Criminal Investigative Task Force (CITF).
MG Miller said that the purpose of his trip was to "make an assessment for the chain of
command," about the ability of U.S. forces in Iraq to conduct "strategic interrogation and
intelligence development and detention operations in theater.,,1463
(U) The day after arriving in Iraq, MG Miller met with LTG Sanchez and described the
purpose ofthe assistance visit, 1464 MG Miller said that his team was aware that the Geneva
Conventions applied in Iraq and told LTG Sanchez that he would have to decide what
recommendations were applicable to his command. MG Miller also met with MG Barbara Fast,
the CITF-7 Director of Intelligence, and gave her the same briefing.

ofmass destruction and to provide support to the CIA special advisor. 1466 As part of its effort to
gather intelligence on WMD, the ISG interrogated and debriefed high value detainees, such as
former members of Saddam Hussein's regime. 1467 When MG Miller's team arrived at the
facility, the~ received a briefing from ISG personnel, toured the facilities, and observed ongoing
operations. 468
(U) Chief Warrant Officer Brian Searcy, who was Chief ofInterrogation at the ISG
accompanied MG Miller and his team on the tour. CWO Searcy told the Committee that during
the tour, MG Miller remarked that the ISG was "running a country club" and suggested that they
were too lenient with detainees. 1469 He said that MG Miller recommended the ISG shackle
detainees and make them walk on gravel rather than on concrete pathways to show the detainees
who was in control. CWO Searcy also recalled that the IfF-GTMO Commander suggested that
the ISG "GTMO-ize" their facility. 1470

Several members of the assessment team recalled the conditions at the Corps Holding Area. LTC Beaver
described the facility as "grotesque" and recalled telling lawyers at cm -7 about "stagnant water, maggots, feces
approximately 6 inches tall on the toilets and running down the sides of the toilets." She told the Committee that she
saw senior non-commissioned officers who were oblivious to their surroundings and that she recalled one guard tell
the visiting team "I don't give an. [expletive] if [the Iraqi prisoners] die."

146'

MG Miller said he was "dismayed and shocked at the operations" at Camp Cropper, referring to them as
"inappropriate, unprofessional, and not humane." MG Miller also called it "shocking'" that "the guards didn't even
know the rules of engagement for use ofdeadly force." MG Miller said that he told LTG Sanchez: "you have a
major problem at Camp Cropper and you need to take action now." According to MG Miller, LTG Sanchez asked
him to share his assessment with the 800th MP BDE Commander BG Janis Karpinski and direct that "corrections be
made in the next 48 hours." MG Miller said that, in a subsequent meeting with BG Karpinski, he met with
"significant pushback." He recalled his reaction in that meeting. "[I] kind of cleared the room and told General
Karpinski, 1said these are the fmdings, if you don't agree with them, let's you and 1go see General Sanchez because
he has directed that you take action to have corrective action be taken and in place within 48-hours. And so she
called the staff back in and started to go forward with it."
MG Miller told the Committee that BG Karpinski accepted the guidance, but not willingly. According to LTC
Beaver, the Corps Holding Area at Camp Cropper was closed shortly after the team left Iraq. Sworn Statement of

GTMO Team VISits Special Mission Unit Task Force (U)

II

Following the visit to the ISG, MG Miller, John Antonitis, the former Director ofthe
Joint Interrogation Group at ITF-GTMO, and the Superintendent o~F-GTMO,
visited the Special Mission Unit (SMU) Task Force (TF) facility. _
the SMU
TF Commander, said he had contacted MG Miller at ITF-GTMO to request assistance with his
detention and interrogation operations. 1482 MG Miller, however, said that~did
not request the visit and th~U TF was not even on his initial itinerary.
In
fact, MG Miller described _
as not "open" to a visit and said that when his staff
called the SMU TF to schedule the visit, they initially said "no" to the visit.

II MG Miller said that he and two other members of his team met with~
and a few of his operators for about 45 minutes to an hour at the SMU TF facility.
The ITF
GTMO Commander did not see an SOP for SMU TF interrogations and recalled that the SMU
TF Commander told him the SMU TF was using operators as interrogators. MG Miller said that
he told
that he needed to establish interrogation authorities and obtain qualified
interrogators. For several month~ing with MG Miller, SMU TF Legal Advisors
to sign an interrogation policy for the facility
had tried, without success, to get _
under his command. 1485
While she did not accompany the ITF-GTMO Commander on his visit to the SMU
TF, LTC Beaver, the former ITF-GTMO SJA, said that a Legal Advisor for the SMU TF
contacted her and arranged to meet with her at Camp Victory. 1486 According to LTC Beaver, the
SMU TF Legal Advisor raised concerns with her about physical violence being used b SMU TF
personnel during interrogations, including punching, choking, and beating detainees. 14 7 He told

ofthe SMU TF, but that
was not receptive to his concerns.

LTC Beaver told the Committee that she infonned both COL Marc Warren (the
CITF-7 SJA) and MG Miller about her conversation with the SMU TF Legal Advisor. 1489
When he met with the Committee, MG Miller did not recall LTC Beaver bringing those concerns
to his attention. 1490 A slide presentation summarizing the GTMO assessment team's visit to
Iraq, however, stated that there were "concerns about [SMU TF] interrogation practices such as
physical contact and choking.,,1491 The same presentation noted that other governmental
agencies "won't interrogate at [the SMU TF] facility because of current treatment concerns.,,1492

GTMO Team Discusses Interrogations with CJTF-7 (U)

(U) During their assessment visit, the ITF-GTMO Commander's team held several
meetings with CJTF-7 interrogation personnel at Abu Ghraib and Camp Victory. According to
COL Thomas Pappas, the 20S th MI BDE Commander, conversations with MG Miller focused on
the range of intelligence capabilities that would enable effective interrogations. 1493 COL Pa.r~as
stated that the "tenor ofthe discussions was that we had to get tougher with the detainees.,,1
(U) CPT Wood, the Interrogation Officer in Charge (OIC) at Abu Ghraib said her
conversations with the ITF-GTMO Commander "centered on renovations and improvements of
facilities, challenges of interrogation operations, and the need for increased [Military
Police/Military Intelligence] cooperation.,,1495 CPT Wood believed that MG Miller and his team
wanted to build a "miniature Guantanamo Bay.,,1496 In her view, however, the GTMO concept
was not applicable to Abu Ghraib. She stated:

... Abu Ghraib wasn't GTMO. The prison was an austere environment; it was not
conducive to interrogation operations like GMTO. That was actually built and
designed to facilitate interrogation operations. We didn't have the MP force that
was necessary for such a high population and we were frequent targets of small
arms and mortar attacks. We worked in a hundred and thirty degree weather

the detainees were not of intelligence value. 1 97
(U) MG Miller said that he spent parts ofthree days at Abu Ghraib with COL Pappas and
CPT Wood discussing how to improve operations. 1498 LTG Sanchez recalled that the team
"recommended the creation of a command policy" on interrogations and the team provided
CITF-7 with electronic copies of SOPs and a copy ofa Joint Staffpolicy memorandum entitled
"Interrogation Techniques in the War on Terrorism,,1499 According to MG Miller, members of
his assessment team also discussed interrogation authorities and techniques during their meetings
with CITF-7 personnel. 1500
(U) CPT Wood said that members ofthe GTMO assessment team had, in their
possession, copies ofthe proposed interrogation policy she had copied from the SMU Task
Force's interrogationpolicy and submitted to her chain of command prior to the assessment
team's visit. 1501 That proposed policy included presence of military working dogs, stress
positions, sleep management, 20-hour interrogations, isolation, and yelling, loud music, and light
control. 1502 CPT Wood said that a member ofthe GTMO assessment team referred to her
proposal as a "good start," but told her that CITF-7 "should consider something along the lines
of what's approved for use in [GTMO].,,1503 LTC Beaver recalled reviewing CPT Wood's
proposed SOP. LTC Beaver said that she was concerned about the SOP because she knew that,
"in a Geneva setting, it was potentially a problem," that she brought it to the attention of COL
Marc Warren, the CITF-7 SJA and recommended that he review it 1504
(U) David Becker, the former ITF-GTMO ICE Chief, recalled discussing stress positions,
dogs, and nudity with COL Pappas during the visit. Mr. Becker said:

[W]hat I told Pappas was, look I understand they're doing all kinds of different
approaches out there. And I talked about the memo that was approved for
Guantanamo at one point. I said look, when you use stress positions; when you
use dogs; when you use - I mean when you use stress positions, dogs, nakedness .
. . the concept ofthe conversation was as you develop these techniques, talk to the
interrogators. Figure out what they want to use and put it in writing. And you
have to establish left and right lanes in the road for the conduct of interrogations.

the "use of dogs" came up in that conversation. 1505

(U) COL Pappas recalled discussions with the GTMO assessment team about do~s being
"effective in doing interrogations with Arabs" and talk of"Arabs being fearful of dogs." 506
COL Pappas said that while no one from MG Miller's team said "okay, use the dogs while
you're doing an interrogation" there was discussion "about 'setting conditions for
interrogations. ",1507 COL Pappas later authorized the use of dogs in interrogations at Abu
Ghraib. 1508
(U) COL Pappas also recalled discussing dogs with MG Miller during the visit. In a
February 2004 interview, COL Pappas said that the use of dogs had been "a technique that [he]
had discussed with Miller" during the IfF-GTMO assistance visit to Iraq.1509 COL Pappas
stated that MG Miller "said that they used military working dogs, and that they were effective in
setting the atmosphere for which ... you could get information.,,1510 In a later interview, COL
Pappas again described his discussions with MG Miller:
There was never any discussion [with the IfF-GTMO Commander] of the
execution of how the dogs would be used Now he did say that dogs were an
effective technique to use with the detainees. He did say we want to make sure
we control the detainee at all times. The I-bolts in the floor came from MG
Miller's team ... He did meet with some of the interrogators and told them to be
more aggressive, but he never told them how. His overtone was to be more
aggressive, but I never heard him say take dogs into the booths or anything like
that. 15H

(U) MAT David DiNenna, the Operations Officer (8-3) ofthe 320 th MP BN also recalled

with respect to GTMO's guidance from the Secretary, he told LTG Sanchez:

[T]he first caveat was that the Geneva Convention applied here. You must use
only Geneva Convention authorities. You may not use anything other unless you
get approval from SecDef to go about doing that. And so if you're going to ask
for any of those, you got to go through the CENTCOM Commander and up to
JCS and OSD to get approval from there. 1521

At the conclusion of the assessment trip, MG Miller produced a trip report that
described the team's fmdings. 1S27 The trip report echoed what the ITF-GTMO Commander had
_

told LTG Sanchez and MG Fast with regard to interrogation guidelines. The report stated "the
team observed that the Task Force [CITF-7] did not have authorities and procedures in place to
affect a unified strategy to detain, interrogate, and report information from detainees/internees in
Iraq. "IS28 While the report did not discuss specific interrogation approaches or techniques, it did
recommend ways in which the CITF could improve the interrogation process:
Interrogations are [being] conducted without a clear strategy for implementing a
long-term approach strategy and clearly defined interrogation policies and
authorities. To achieve rapid exploitation of internees it is necessary to integrate
detention operations, interrogation operations, and collection management under
one command authority.1S29

MG Miller Briefs Senior DoD OffICials on Assessment VISit (U)

(U) MG Miller presented his trip report to SOUTHCOM and was subsequently told that it
was forwarded to the Joint Staff and OSD. 1531 He was subsequently directed to brief senior
Department of Defense officials on his assessment visit and the report. MG Miller told the Army
Inspector General (IG) that the briefing took place in October and was attended by Deputy
Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Under Secretary ofDefense for Intelligence Steven
Cambone, as well as senior military officers including LTG Ronald Burgess, the Director for
Intelligence at the Joint Staff. According to MG Miller, his briefing covered "the ability ofthe
CITF-7 to be able to execute the strategic interrogation mission to develop intelligence, actual
intelligence and an assessment of CITF-7's ability to detain civilian detainees in accordance with
the Geneva Convention and ARI90_8.,,1532 Following the briefing, the GTMO Commander met
privately with Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz and Under Secretary Cambone. 1533
(U) While MG Miller said that Under Secretary Cambone attended the briefing, Under
Secretary Cambone testified on May 11, 2004 before the Senate Armed Services Committee that
he was, in fact "not briefed" by the GTMO Commander on the trip report. 1534 In his written
answer to a question for the record following his testimony, Under Secretary Cambone stated
that, in fact, he "was never officially briefed on MG Miller's report."m5 Just over a week after
Under Secretary Cambone's testimony, MG Miller testified before the Committee that he had
"no direct discussions" with Under Secretary Cambone following his visit to Iraq. 1536
(U) In August 2004, however, MG Miller told Army Investigators that, followinf his

(U) More than a year later, in October 2005, the Army IG asked MG Miller about his
testimony to the Committee that he had not had "direct discussions" with Under Secretary
Cambone. Despite previously describing a "discussion" with Under Secretary Cambone, MG
Miller told the IG that when asked at [the Senate Armed Services Committee] about discussions
with Under Secretary Cambone after his trip, "I said no because I didn't have discussions with
Cambone.,,1539 MG Miller also told the Army IG that he didn't even know that the person
attending the meeting was Dr. Cambone until Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz used his name.,,1540
The Army IG also asked MG Miller about the smaller meeting that he attended with Deputy
Secretary Wolfowitz and Under Secretary Cambone immediately following his briefing. MG
Miller said that the reason for the smaller meeting was so that he could give the ''unvarnished
truth" about his visit and said that he told Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz and Under Secretary
Cambone during that smaller meeting that CJTF-7 was at risk for "mission failure. ,,1541
(U) Under Secretary Cambone stated in December 2006 that his records indicated that he
"did attend MG Miller's briefing to Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz," but that he did "not remember
participating in any substantive discussions." Under Secretary Cambone said that he had "no
personal recollection" ofthe smaller meeting that took place subsequent to MG Miller's
briefing. 1542
(U) During his December 20, 2007 interview with Committee staff, MG Miller said that
he did not learn that Under Secretary Cambone was in attendance at the briefing until someone
referred to him by name either during or after his briefmg. 1543 He stated that, when he was asked
at the May 2004 Committee hearing about discussions with Under Secretary Cambone, he had
forgotten that Under Secretary Cambone had actually attended the briefing. MG Miller said his
use ofthe word "discussion" in his August 2004 testimony to describe his interaction with
Undersecretary Cambone was an imprecise use of words. MG Miller stated that, in the smaller
meeting he attended following his briefing with Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz and Undersecretary
Cambone, that Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz simply thanked him for his work.

CJTF-7 Commander Issues Policy Including Aggressive Interrogation


Techniques (U)

(U) On September 14,2003, less than a week after MG Miller's team left Iraq, LTG
Sanchez issued the first CJTF-7 "Interrogation and Counter-Resistance Policy." The September
14,2003 policy stated that the Geneva Conventions were applicable in
and that Coalition
Forces "will continue to treat all persons under their control humanely.,,15 LTG Sanchez stated

that he issued the policy because FM 34-52 left the "universe of approaches to the imagination of
the interrogator" and demanded additional structure. 1545
(U) According to LTG Sanchez, the September 14,2003 policy "drew heavily" on the
Secretary of Defense's April 16, 2003 guidance for GTMO. I546 Indeed, the September 14,2003
policy included all 24 interrogation techniques that were in that guidance, as well as techniques
that CPT Wood had copied from the SMU TF in Iraq's interrogation policy and submitted for
approval. The latter included the presence of military working dogs, stress positions, sleep
management, loud music, and light control. 1547 The techniques CPT Wood had copied from the
SMU TF policy had, in tum, been based on techniques included in the interrogation policy used
by the SMU TF in Afghanistan. That policy was influenced, in turn, by the Secretary of
Defense's December 2,2002 approval of aggressive interrogation techniques for use at
GTMO. 1548
(U) Although some ofthe techniques authorized by the September 14, 2003 CITF-7
policy required the CITF-7 Commander's approval before they could be used on Enemy
Prisoners of War (EPWs), LTG Sanchez stated that "with few exceptions, persons captured after
May 1, 2003 were not entitled to EPW status as a matter oflaw.,,1549 CPT Wood said that, to her
knowledge, there were no EPWs held at Abu Ghraib. 1550
(U) LTG Sanchez stated that CITF-7 forwarded the September 14, 2003 policy to
CENTCOM with a cover memorandum stating that the policy was based on that used at
Guantanamo Bay, but "modified for applicability to a theater of war in which the Geneva
Conventions apply.,,1551 LTG Sanchez stated that his intent, unless otherwise directed, was to
"immediately implement the policy outlined in the memo.,,1552

of] interrogators and analysts working for her. She stated that during the briefin~, "the
interrogators took turns reading [the September 14 policy] line by line aloud." 15 3 She stated
that each interrogator present signed a document noting that he or she had received training on
the policy. CPT Wood said that personnel who arrived at Abu Ghraib after CITF-7 issued the
policy were briefed on it during in-processing.
(U) CPT Wood also developed a Memorandum for Record on CITF-7 Interrogation
Rules of Engagement (IROE) to be signed by all personnel at Abu Ghraib in contact with
detainees. 1554 The IROE stated that the interrogation approaches specified in Army FM 34-52, as
well as yelling, light control, loud music, deception, and false flag were "approved for all
detainees, regardless of status (security detainees, civilian internees, or EPWs).,,1555 Use of other
approaches authorized by the September 14,2003 CITF-7 memorandum, including stress
positions, presence of dogs, dietary manipulation, environmental manipulation, sleep adjustment,
and sleep management, were to be approved by the interrogation officer in charge or the non
commissioned officer in charge.
(U) At least one version ofthe IROE used a September 10, 2003 CJTF-7 draft policy as
its basis, rather than the September 14 approved policy. 1556 That IROE also listed sensory
deprivation as "approved in accordance with the CITF-7 policy.',1557 While CPT Wood had
requested sensory deprivation and the technique had been included in a September 10, 2003 draft
policy, it was not among those listed in the September 14,2003 policy approved by CJTF-7.
CPT Wood acknowledged that she may have used the wrong policy as a basis for her IROE. 1558

CENTCOM Raises Concerns About CJTF-7 Policy (U)

(U) LTG Sanchez said that when he issued the September 14, 2003 policy, there was
agreement in the CITF-71egal community that the techniques in the policy were lawful. He said
that that consensus was developed in the absence of guidance from CENTCOM, who he said
believed the issue was too contentious and would not give CITF-7 legal guidance. 1559 LTG
Sanchez said that ''time was of the essence" so he "decided to publish the September
memorandum knowing that discussions were ongoing as to the legality of some ofthe
approaches included in the memorandum. ,,1560

LTG Sanchez stated that when the September 14, 2003 policy reached .
CENTCOM, it "energized the legal community there and that COL Fred Pribble [the
CENTCOM SJA] had concerns.,,1561 LTG Sanchez said that CENTCOM lawyers thought some
techniques in the September 14 policy came too close to the boundary.1562 COL Marc Warren,
the CJTF-7 SJA, stated that the CENTCOM SJA "raised concerns to us that the policy was
objectionable in that aspects ofthe approved approaches were impermissibly coercive.,,1563

II On September 15,2003, the day after the policy was issued, COL Warren sent a copy
to COL Pribble and William "Barry" Hammill, CENTCOM's Deputy SJA, stating "this is pretty
tame stuff, largely a direct lift from the Army Interrogation FM. The genesis of this product was
the visit by MG Miller's GITMO team.,,1564 The next day, Mr. Hammill asked Major Carrie
Ricci, the Chief of International Law at CENTCOM to review the policy. 1565 That same day,
MAJ Ricci responded in an email stating that "Many of the techniques appear to violate [Geneva
Convention] III and IV and should not be used on [enemy prisoners of war] or [civilian
internees]. The [Geneva Conventions] prohibits all coercive interrogation techniques.,,1566

.On

September 17,2003, COL Pribble sent a copy ofMAJ Ricci's email to COL
Warren who responded that "almost all ofthese techniques are right out of the Field Manual and
are in use now.,,1567 That same day, MAJ Ricci responded:
Gentlemen, it's the techniques that are not in the field manual that concern me.
Techniques such as dietary manipulation, environmental manipulation, sleep
adjustment, sleep management, yelling, loud music, light control, stress positions,
etc. many of these techniques appear to violate [Geneva Convention] III, Article
17: ''No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion may be
inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind
whatever. Prisoners of war who refuse to answer may not be threatened, insulted,
or exposed to unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind."
... My recommendation is that the interrogation policy be kept in conformity
with the [Field Manual] ... I would hesitate to put in writing how we are directing
interrogations beyond what is in the [Field Manual]. If CJTF-7 wants to take
advantage of the additional measures used at Guantanamo, this should be limited
to detainees who are not entitled to [Geneva Convention] protections or else I

believe we should still seek SECDEF approval- and I am doubtful some of these
techniques will be approved. The policy as written is troublesome. 1568
_Later that day, MAl Ricci spoke with COL Warren by phone. 1569 In a subsequent
email to Mr. Hammill she said that COL Warren was "going to try and re-work the policy. He
is understandably unhappy that the policy was already signed by the [Commanding General] and
now the SJA has the regrettable task oftellin~ the [Commanding General] the policy has
problems - but that's what we get paid for."l 70
In a September 22,2003 email to MAl Ricci, CENTCOM SJA COL Fred Pribble
said "During my sitdown with COL Warren in Baghdad, he was pretty quick to admit that we
(read you) had made the right call and that they would scrub the policy."l571
_ L T G Sanchez said that after CJTF-7 and CENTCOM lawyers began to debate the
policy that he and COL Warren again reviewed the memo. LTG Sanchez stated that COL
Warren told him:
"Yes, they are legal. There is some dissent and different opinions within the legal
community. Some of these may be harsher than others, and in order for us to
eliminate debate and get consensus, we probably ought to put some ofthese aside,
and oh, by the way, they probably wouldn't get us too much anyway if we
implemented them." I said "Okay, fine let's get consensus. Go ahead and
constrain it (the September policy). ,,1572

CJTF-7 Issues New Interrogation Policy (U)

(U) On October 12,2003, nearly a month after MAl Ricci's concerns were brought to
COL Warren's attention, LTG Sanchez issued a revised interrogation policy, eliminating all
techniques not listed in either the 1987 or 1992 versions ofthe Army Field manual. Techniques
removed from the list of authorized techniques included dietary manipulation, environmental
manipulation, sleep adjustment, false flag, presence of military working dogs, sleep
management, stress positions, and yelling, loud music, and light control. 1573 CJTF-7 also
removed isolation and added "segregation" to the new policy. The October 12,2003 policy

stated that the CITF-7 Commanding General had to approve se~egation in all cases exceeding
"30 days in duration, whether consecutive or nonconsecutive.,,1 74

(U) CITF-7 removed ''the presence of military dogs" from the list of interrogation
techniques in the October 12,2003 policy, but added a line in the "General Safeguards" section
ofthe policy stating that "Should working dogs be present during interro~ations, they will be
muzzled and under the control of a handler at all times to ensure safety." 575 Despite references
to dogs in both the September 14,2003 interrogation policy and the October 12,2003
interrogation policy, LTG Sanchez said that the "intent for the use of dogs was always focused
on the security contributions they make in a detention facility" and that there was "no explicit
direction, guidance, or condoning ofthe use of unmuzzled dogs in the conduct of
interrogations.,,1576 LTG Sanchez acknowledged that placement of "presence of military
working dogs" in the interrogation techniques section ofthe September 14 policy was
"confusing.,,1577 He said that he removed the "presence of military working dogs" from the list
of interrogation techniques in the October policy and put it in the general safeguards section to
make it "clear that using dogs for the deliberate purpose of frightening a detainee was not
pennitted.,,1578
(U) LTG Sanchez stated that "It is certainly clear under the October 2003 policy that the
use of military working dogs in interrogations would require an exception to policy granted by
me.,,1579 COL Pappas stated, however, that he believed that the October 12,2003 interrogation
policy "delegated to me the authority to approve the use of muzzled dogs. ,,1580
(U) The October 12,2003 policy also stated that requests to use interrogation approaches
not listed in the policy "will be submitted to [the CITF-7 Commander] through CITF-7 [Director
for Intelligence] and will include a description ofthe proposed approach and recommended
safeguards." 1581
(U) CPT Wood at Abu Ghraib said that when the October 12,2003 policy was issued, her
interrogators signed a new Interrogation Rules of Engagement Memorandum (IROE).1582 The

SMU Task Force Issues a New Interrogation SOP (U)

On October 16 2003 a new


Commander,
took command ofthe SMU TF.
stated that he "used his subject matter experts to build the [interrogation] SOP consistent with
existing rules and regulations.,,1585 This SOP went into effect on October 25,2003. The
Department of Defense has not provided the Committee with a copy ofthe October 25,2003
SMU TF SOP. 1586
_
According to the Church Special Focus Team Report, however, the October 25,
2003 SMU TF policy included ten interrogation techniques not listed in the Army Field
Manual. 1587 Those techniques included controlled fear (muzzled dogs), stress positions, sleep
deprivation/adjustment, environmental manipulation, yelling, loud music, and light control,
removal of comfort items, isolation, false documents/report, multiple interrogator, and repeat and
control. 1588 Less than two weeks before the policy was finalized, several of these techniques,
including environmental manipulation, stress positions, muzzled dogs, and sleep adjustment
had been removed from CJTF-Ts interrogation SOP after CENTCOM raised legal concerns
about them. 1589

The Department of Defense produced two documents to the Committee in response to the request for the

December 18 2003. See Department of Defense Headquarters, Joint Task Force_Baghdad Airbase,

approv~indicated to DoD investigators in June 2004 that he had not

There is evidence that at least one te~not in the SOP - removal of
clothing - was in use at the SMU TF in late 2003. _ s t a t e d that when he took

know where the technique came from.
Weeks prior to his October 2003 arrival, however,
JPRA instructors had striEfed a detainee during their assistance visit to the SMU TF facility as
part ofan interrogation. 1 9 Terrence Russell, the JPRA training manager wh~

,15!14 Mr. Russell stated that
''we've done this 100 times, 1000 times with our [SERE school] students. ,,1595
stated that he was ''uncomfortable'' with stripping detainees and
that "stripping a detainee just didn't seem right to [him] even though arguably, it was an

XIII. Interrogation Techniques and Detainee Mistreatment at Abu Ghraib (U)


(U) Between September and December 2003, military personnel at Abu Ghraib engaged
in what Major General Antonio Taguba would later call "numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant,
and wanton criminal abuses" of detainees. 1597 Several instances ofabuse were captured in
photographs taken by the soldiers themselves and, in April 2004, some ofthose photographs
appeared in the media.
(U) Two Army investigations, one conducted by MG Taguba and the other conducted by
Major General George Fay would later find that abuses at Abu Ghraib were perpetrated directly
by both military police (MP) and military intelligence (MI) personnel. 1598 In addition to the
direct participation of MI personnel in incidents of detainee abuse, MG Fay's investigation also
identified situations where MI pe~onnel solicited MPs to engage in detainee abuse, using such

methods as "isolation with sensory deprivation, removal of clothing and humiliation, [and] the
use of dogs as an interrogation tool to induce fear, and physical abuse. ,,1599

(U) MG Fay cited the inadequacy of interrogation doctrine as a "contributing factor" to


Abu Ghraib and stated that interrogation techniques developed and approved for use at GTMO
and in Mghanistan became "confused" at Abu Ghraib and "were implemented without proper
authorities or safeguards.,,1600 As discussed above, some of the techniques MG Fay found to be
abusive were also authorized for use by military interrogators conducting interrogations at the
SMU TF facility in Iraq.
(U) Interviews conducted by investigators for both MG Fay and MG Taguba contain
evidence that the use of aggressive interrogation techniques like use of military working dogs,
stress positions, and removal of clothing, was not limited to the specific incidents described in
those reports. In fact, those interviews appear to indicate that the use of some ofthese
techniques was widespread at Abu Ghraib.

A.

Use ofMilitary Working Dogs (U)

(U) The use of military working dogs to exploit detainee fears was authorized on
December 2,2002 by the Secretary of Defense for use at Guantanamo Bay. 1601 Weeks later, the
technique appeared in a January 24,2003 memorandum from CITF-180's Deputy Staff Judge
Advocate (SJA) and was subsequently considered available for use in Mghanistan. 1602 The use
of dogs was also among those techniques authorized for use at the SMU TF in Iraq. 1603
_Following MG Miller's assistance visit to Iraq in August and September 2003,
CITF-7 had submitted a request for three military police dog teams "to provide an increased
security posture" to support detention and interrogation operations at Abu Ghraib. l604

(U) The dog teams arrived at Abu Ghraib on November 20,2003. 1605 According to MG
Fay's report, "abusing detainees with dogs started almost immediately after the dogs arrived"
with the first incident occurring on November 24,2003. 1606 Major General Fay's report
documented seven other times over the next six weeks when dogs were used, including three
occasions in which they were used in interrogations, one occasion the report referred to as "an

apparent [Military Intelligence] directed use of dogs in detainee abuse," and one incident
described as dogs being used likely as a '''softening up' technique for future interrogations.,,1607

II COL Pappas, the Commander of the 20S

th

MI BDE, said that on December 12, 2003


he "specifically approved the dogs to be used.,,1608 A December 14,2003 memo for LTG
Sanchez, the CITF-7 Commander, signed by COL Pappas indicated that COL Pappas approved
the "presence of military working dogs" for three detainees captured in conjunction with Saddam
Hussein. I609 COL Pappas stated that he "couldn't say for sure" whether he actually sent the
memo to LTG Sanchez, but that he "signed it with the intent of it going to him.,,1610 LTG
Sanchez said that no request for the use of dogs in interrogations "was ever received or approved
by me.,,1611
(U) One intelligence analyst stated that it was "common knowledge" that one soldier
used "dogs while he was on his special projects" working directly for COL Pappas after the
capture of Saddam Hussein.,,1612 And an MP said that dogs could be used in interrogations "with
the proper authorization," and that "dogs were used to scare the detainee into confessing or
producing intelligence.,,1613
(U) An Army dog handler said that "MI would ask me to use my dog as a psychological
and physical deterrent. It would consist of a dog walking up to a prisoner and the dog barking at
a prisoner.,,1614 The same dog handler said that "Someone from MI gave me a list of cells, for
me to go see, and pretty much have my dog bark at them... Having the dogs bark at detainees
was psychologically breaking them down for interrogation purposes. ,,1615
(U) On February 19,2004, after MG Taguba had begun his investigation into the abuses
at Abu Ghraib, the Commander of the S04th MI Brigade issued a memorandum stating that
"military working dogs will not be present during the interrogation or debriefing ofany detainees
at the Abu Ghraib facility.,,1616

Stress Positions and Physical Training (U)

(U) Stress positions were authorized for use in interrogations at GTMO by the Secretary
of Defense on December 2, 2002. 1617 The technique was used in interrogations in Afghanistan in
2002 and 2003. 1618 Stress positions were also authorized for use at the SMU TF in Iraq. 1619
(U) CPT Wood at Abu Ghraib said that stress positions and forced exercise regimens
(also called compulsory physical training) were used in interrogations and the September 14,
2003 CITF-7 policy explicitly authorized the use of stress positions. 1620 CPT Wood's October 9,
2003 Interrogation Rules of Engagement (IROE) for interrogators listed stress positions as an
approved technique. 1621 While the October 12,2003 CITF-7 policy removed stress positions
from the list of authorized interrogation techniques, a subsequent IROE for interrogators
continued to list the technique, with the caveat that its use "must be approved by the
[Commanding General], CITF-7 prior to employment.,,1622
(U) MG Fay's report stated that "What started as nakedness and humiliation, stress and
physical training (exercise) carried over into sexual and physical assaults... ,,1623 The report
described one incident where a detainee was ''forced to stand while handcuffed in such a way to
dislocate his shoulder" and described a photograph of an interrogation 1?eing conducted while
another detainee was squatting on a chair which MG Fay called "an unauthorized stress
position.,,1624
(U) One MP said he "saw MI use stress positions" at Abu Ghraib. 1625 Similarly, the
warden of the Hard Site at Abu Ghraib stated that military intelligence made detainees engage in
physical training and he saw "detainees holding buckets, arms out, and other drillS.,,1626 An MP
Platoon leader stated that he also "observed [military intelligence personnel] making detainees
do physical training.,,1627

(U) When asked whether he had ever been directed by MI or another government agency
(OGA) to "soften up" a prisoner, one MP said "Yes, I would have them do physical training to
tire them out.,,1628 Another MP stated that military intelligence personnel insinuated that MP
soldiers should abuse detainees telling them to "'Loosen this guy up for us.' 'Make sure he has a
bad night.' 'Make sure he gets the treatment. ",1629
(U) One interrogator confIrmed the practice of having MPs "soften up" detainees, stating
that the "MPs did prepare prisoners prior to interrogations by having them do physical exercises
and yelling at them. The interrogators would verbally discuss, with an MP, a detainee and his
cooperativeness and various methods to deal with a detainee such as physical exercise at random
hours ofthe night and yelling.,,1630 Other MI soldiers confmned the use of stress positions by
interrogators at Abu Ghraib. One interrogation analyst stated that he witnessed the use of a
stress position where a detainee was "handcuffed to the floor." 1631 The same soldier referred to
that use ofthe stress position as "in following with the interrogation Elan.,,1632 An interrogator
likewise stated that she "did use a stress position" in interrogations. 1 33 Another interrogator who
was deployed from GTMO to Abu Ghraib following the MG Miller assistance visit said that
"stress positions were authorized" when he first got to Abu Ghraib in October 2003 and that he

Removal ofClothing (U)

(U) Removal of clothing was authorized by the Secretary of Defense for use at GTMO
on December 2, 2002. 1635 The technique was also recommended as an effective technique in a
January 24, 2003 memo written b~ the CJTF -180 Deputy SJA and was subsequently considered
approved policy in Afghanistan. 1 36

II

The Special Mission Unit (SMU) Task Force (TF) in Iraq also used "removal of
clothing" as an interrogation technique in the fall of 2003, just as the Abu Ghraib abuses were
takin lace. While not included in the SMU TF interrogation SOP, the SMU TF Commander
stated that when he took command in October 2003 he "discovered
that some ofthe detainees were not allowed clothes" as an interrogation technique_

said he tenninated the practice in December

1638

(U) Though it never appeared in CITF-Ts interrogation policy, MG Fay stated in his
report that removal of clothing was "imported" to Abu Ghraib and could be "traced through
Mghanistan and GTMO.,,1639 MG Fay's report stated that removal of clothing was "used to
humiliate detainees" and said the practice "contributed to an environment that would appear to
condone dePravity and degradation rather than the humane treatment of detainees.,,1640 His
report identified several specific incidents of detainees being stripped or partially stripped at the
direction of interrogation personnel at Abu Ghraib.
(U) Statements by military police and military intelligence personnel who served at Abu
Ghraib indicated that removal of clothing was widely used for interrogations. COL Jerry
Philabaum, the Commander ofthe 320th MP BN at the facility, recalled seeing "between 12-15
detainees naked in their own individual cells.,,1641 He said that when he raised the issue with the
JIDC Commander, LTC Steven Jordan, he was told it "was nonnal practice for detainees to be
naked in their cells, but that usually they didn't have that many naked and that it was a technique
[military intelligence] used.,,1642 CPT Donald Reese, the Commander ofthe 37200 MP Company,
stated that LTC Jordan also told him that stripping detainees was "an interrogation method that
we use.,,1643 CPT Reese said the fact that detainees were naked as an interrogation method was
"known by everybody" and stated that it was "common practice to walk the tier and see
detainees without clothing and bedding."I644
(U) Similarly, an intelligence analyst at Abu Ghraib stated that it was "common that the
detainees on [military intelligence] hold in the hard site were initially kept naked and given
clothing as an incentive to cooperate with US.,,1645 One interrogator stated that "it was practice,
especially for [military intelligence] holds to take their clothes in a possible attempt to renew the
'capture shock' of detainees who had been in custody for an extended period oftime or were
transferred from other facilities. ,,1646 Another interrogator said that "it was common to see

interrogator said that "any officer who would walk the area at night should have seen the
detainees naked.,,1648

(U) One military police (MP) soldier stated that MI "would tell us to take away [the
detainees'! mattresses, sheets, and clothes" and that ''the detainees would sleep in their cells
naked."I64 Another MP stated that MI used "clothing removal as an interrogation technique in
Tier lA,,1650 Major Michael Sheridan, who was Executive Officer ofthe 320th MP Battalion at
Abu Ghraib, said that he stopped permitting MPs to escort detainees to interrogations after an
incident where a male detainee "was being interrogated naked and then my MPs had to escort
him back to his cell in 45 degree temps with nothing but a bag over his head, and one ofthe MPs
was female.,,1651
(U) One Abu Ghraib interrogator stated that another interrogator who was deployed from
GTMO to Abu Ghraib, told him that he "was Ptermitted as the interrogator to strip a detainee
completely naked in the interrogation booth." 652 Another GTMO interrogator deplored to Abu
Ghraib said that he oversaw the interrogation of a detainee who had been stripped. 165 The
interrogator said that the technique was approved by a superior officer. 1654 A third interrogator
who had previously served at GTMO recalled asking an MP at Abu Ghraib ''to strip [a detainee]
naked for us for the interrogation.,,1655

(U) The September 14, 2003 CITP-7 policy authorized both sleep management and sleep
adjustment for interrogations, defining the former as "adjusting the sleep times of a detainee"
and the latter as "4 hours of sleep per 24 hour period,,1659 CPT Wood's October 9,2003 IROE
also listed both "sleep adjustment" and "sleep management" as approved techniques. 1660 CITP
7's October 12, 2003 policy did not include either sleep adjustment or sleep management as
authorized interrogation techniques. 1661 However, an October 16, 2003 IROE written by CPT
Wood continued to list both techniques, saying that their use "must be approved by the
[Commanding General], CITP-7 prior to employment.,,1662
(U) MG Pay's report stated that the "'sleep adjustment' technique was used by [military
intelligence] as soon as the Tier 1A block opened" at Abu Ghraib. 1663 Interviews of MI and MP
soldiers, however, indicated a lack of clarity among MI and MP as to what "sleep adjustment,"
"sleep management," and "sleep deprivation" actually meant. In any case, MPs were integral to
carrying out each of those techniques for MI personnel.
(U) One contract interrogator stated that "During a typical SMMP [sleep and meal
management program], the MPs are responsible for administering the written program provided
by the interrogator... In addition, the MPs are advised that during the awake time period of an
approved SMMS program, the MPs are allowed to do what is necessary to keep the detainee
awake in the allotted period oftime as long as it adheres to approved rules of engagement and
proper treatment of detainee.,,1664 An MI non-commissioned officer stated that he provided sleep
adjustment schedules included in interrogation plans written by interrogators he was supervising
. to the MP Sergeant ofthe Guard. 1665 Similarly, an intelligence analyst said that the process for
using sleep management was "for the interrogator to request it in writing and submit the request
with the interrogation plan... Once it was approved, a memo was given to the MPs showing the
schedule."I666
(U) COL Jerry Philabaum, the Commander ofthe 320lh MP BN, said that "When

on how to keep the detainees awake. It was left to the MPS.,,1667 Another MP Officer stated that:
When Ml needed our assistance with detainees, they did their request through
memorandums. The memorandums would dictate what Ml wanted. The
memorandums were signed by COL Pappas and given to the NCOlC [Non
Commissioned Officer in Charge] of the wing. The memorandums would give
instructions on diet patterns, sleep patterns, music playing, and various other
techniques that MI requested the MPs to carry out. 1668
An MP non-commissioned officer stated that "there was no SOP for sleep
management.,,1669 MG Fay stated that techniques used by MPs to keep detainees awake included
stripping them and giving them cold showers.,,1670
(U) CPT Wood said that "sleep management was approved by the [Commanding
General] about a dozen times" during her time at Abu Ghraib. 1671 She stated that she
"personally remember[ed] seeing LTG Sanchez's signature on some approvals for sleep
management.,,1672 COL Pappas said that he believed the October 12,2003 CJTF-7 policy gave
him the authority to authorize sleep management. 1673

IIA December 14,2003 memo for LTG Sanchez signed by COL Pappas approved
"sleep management" for three detainees captured in conjunction with Saddam Hussein. 1674 COL
Pappas stated that he "couldn't say for sure" whether he actually sent the memo to LTG Sanchez
but that he "signed it with the intent ofit going to him.,,1675 LTG Sanchez said that, other than
requests to approve segregation in excess of30 days, he did "not recall signing any other

A January 24,2003 memo from the CITF-180 Deputy SJA stated that
"deprivation oflight and sound in the living areas" had been utilized and recommended that ''use
of light and noise deprivation" (not limited to living areas) be approved for im~lementation.1678
The technique was subsequently considered available for use in Mghanistan. l 79
(U) Sensory deprivation was never listed in CITF-7 policy as an approved technique. It
was listed, however, as an approved technique in an October 9, 2003 interrogation rules of
engagement (IROE) document for interrogators at Abu Ghraib. 1680 A subsequent IROE also
listed the technique but said its use "must be approved by the [Commanding General], CITF-7
prior to employment.,,1681
(U) Major General Fay's report identified several specific instances where detainees at
Abu Ghraib were placed in a small room in Tier lA of Abu Ghraib that was referred to as "the
hole" and where they were subject to total isolation and light deprivation. 1682 The report said
that conditions for isolating detainees "sometimes included being kept naked in very hot or very
cold, small rooms, and/or completely darkened rooms, clearly in violation ofthe Geneva
Conventions.,,1683
(U) MG Fay stated that the "environment created at Abu Ghraib contributed to the
occurrence" of detainee abuse there. 1684 But MG Fay was not the first to note the environment at

retired Army Colonel Stuart Herrington to assess U.S. intelligence operations in Iraq.I686 COL
Herrington had also assessed intelligence operations at Guantanamo Bay in March 2002. 1687
Shortly before leaving for Iraq, COL Herrington received a call f r o m _
the fonner Chief ofthe Iraq Survey Group's Joint Interrogation and Debriefing Center
(JIDC).
told COL Herrington of his concern that detainees had been ''tortured an'd
beat~cy guys" and SMU TF personnel in Iraq. 1688 COL Herrington decided to look
into _
claims during his assessment visit.

2.

Assessment Team VISits Abu Ghraib and CJTF-7 Headquarters (U)

(U) After arriving in Iraq, COL Herrington and his team visited the interrogation facility
at Abu Ghraib. While the team did not see evidence that detainees were being "illegally or
improperly treated" at the facility, they did note several serious deficiencies. 1689
(U) In his written report of the visit, COL Herrington cited an urgent need to improve
conditions at Abu Ghraib. 1690 He cited overpopulation ofthe facility as a problem that could
lead to further rioting and danger to U.S. personnel. He commented that the leadership at Abu
Ghraib felt the facility was a "pressure cooker" and that it was "only a matter oftime before
prisoners staged an uRrising" and that "bad things" such as "death, injury, or hostage situations"
were likely to occur. 691 COL Herrington also assessed that shortages of interro~ators and
equipment had resulted in a failure to interrogate detainees of intelligence value. 692 He
concluded that Abu Ghraib was simply ''unsuitable for the exploitation of high value
detainees.,,1693
(U) COL Herrington also expressed concern with the practice of not assigning Internment
Serial Numbers (ISNs) to certain detainees. He wrote in his assessment report that the creation
of"ghost" detainees who were not in the accounting system carried certain risks "not the least of
which is that it may be technically illegal.,,1694
(U) On December 9,2003, COL Herrington met with MG Barbara Fast, CJTF-7's
Director for Intelligence (CJ_2).1695 He later described her as "astonished" by his observations of

me that she was not being well informed" by her staff. 1698

Team Hears Reports ofDetainee Mistreatment (U)

(U) While visiting the Iraq Survey Group facility, COL Herrington learned from ISG
medical personnel that prisoners arriving at the ISG who had been captured by the SMU TF
showed signs of"having been beaten" by t ~The report was consistent with what
the former ISG JIDC Chief, prior to
the retired Army Colonel had been told by _
his visit. When, during his visit, COL Herrington asked the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) ofthe JIDC
whether these problems had been reported to higher authority, the OIC advised him that
"everyone knows about it.,,1700
(U) COL Herrington wrote in his report that an OGA representative told him that OGA

personnel had been instructed not to have any involvement with interrogation operations at the
SMU TF as the "practices there were in contravention to his Agency's guidance on what was and
what was not permissible in interrogating detainees.,,1701 He added that he had been told by his
CITF-7 escort that it would be "difficult, ifnot impossible" to visit the SMU TF facilities. His
written report stated that:
Based on 1) What my s o u r c e _ told me' before I deployed about what he
observed concerning mistreatment; 2) The statement of the ISG-JIDC OIC on the
same subject; and 3) the OGA representative's statement, it seems clear that [the
SMU TF] needs to be reined in with respect to its treatment of detainees. 1702

4.

COL Herrington Reports Findings (U)

(U) When COL Herrington returned to the U. S. and briefed LTG Keith Alexander, the

Army G2, and his deputy Terry Ford, he reiterated the concerns about what he had seen in Iraq
and stated, "when it becomes known, everybody who touched it will be in trouble.,,1703 COL
Herrington later told the DoD IG that the two were "very supportive and expressed confidence in
his assessment, but no official'follow-ups were discussed or scheduled at that time.,,1704

(U) COL Herrington told the DoD IGthat he expected that CITF-7 and the Army G2
would investigate the issues he raised. 1705 However, he said they never contacted him and he
was notified by CITF-7 in April of2004 that there had been "insufficient evidence to
substantiate" what he had heard from the former ISG nDC Chief about detainee mistreatment in
Iraq.1706 The Office ofthe Staff Judge Advocate at CITF-7 stated in an April 7, 2004 letter to
COL Herrington that the investigating officer had not been able to "recreate those conversations
upon which [COL Herrington'sJ report was based" and that it had been difficult to "pin down
timelines and events in time.,,17 7
(U) The allegations raised by COL Herrington were the subject of an investigation
conducted by CITF-7 in early 2004. In what VADM Church described as an "extremely brief,
three-page report," the CITF-7 investigating officer found no proofto substantiate the allegations
1708
VADM Church criticized the CITF-7 r~ort as "extremely brief and

cursory" with "obvious gaps in the investigation methodology.,,17o VADM Church called the
failure to more thoroughly investwate the allegations a "lost opportunity to address potential
detainee abuse in Iraq early on.,,1 0

Interrogation Policies Following Abu Ghraib (U)

aggressive interrogation techniques from its interrogation policy in October 2003, interrogation
policies issued by Task Forces under CENTCOM Command, inchidingthe Combined Joint
Special Operations Task Force Arabian Peninsula (CJSOTF-AP), CJTF-180 (the conventional

Interrogation Plan in Iraq Derivedfrom SERE (U)

The Department of Defense provided the Committee an undated document


drafted by a Chief Warrant Officer from the 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division. The 25th
Infantry Division was deployed to Iraq and stationed outside Kirkuk from January 2004 through
February 2005. The document, called "Camp Honesty Interrogation Plan" stated that it was
"based off ofD.S. SERE Training Doctrine.',I72S It described subjecting detainees to "sensory
over-stimulation" where they would be placed, handcuffed behind their backs in so-called "black
room[s].,,1726 The plan stated that two soldiers with night vision goggles would be present in the
room and would ''touch [the] detainee on [the] head, hands and feet with string simulating
sensors.,,1727 In addition, sound would be used to "activate and confuse auditory sensors"

discomfort," and using blacked out goggles as an interrogation technique. 1730

D.

Special Mission Unit Task Force Interrogation Polices (U)

Prior to March 2004, however, each operated under a distinct interrogation SOP. On March 26,
2004 the SMU TF implemented a single interrogation policy that covered SMU TF operations in
both Iraq and Afghanistan. 1731
_
The March 26,2004 SMU SOP authorized 14 "interrogation techniques" not
explicitly listed in FM 34-52, including use of muzzled dogs, "safety positions (during
interrogations)," sleep adjustment/management, mild physical contact, isolation, sensory
overload, sensory deprivation, and dietary manipulation. 1732
_
According to the Church Special Focus Team Report, the March 26, 2004 SMU
TF SOP included a larger number of interrogation techniques outside ofFM 34-52 than the SOPs
of any other military organization at the time. 1733 In fact, many ofthe techniques in that SOP had
been abandoned by conventional forces in Afghanistan months earlier, after CENTCOM
identified legal concerns with the techniques. 1734 Although the authority in the March SOP to
use "muzzled dogs" was rescinded on April 22, 2004, the remainder ofthe techniques remained
authorized until May 6, 2004, when GEN John Abizaid, the CENTCOM Commander, suspended
use of all non-FM 34-52 techniques. 1735 The Church Special Focus Team report said the
techniques were suspended as a result of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib. 1736 GEN Abizaid stated

Several interrogation techniques authorized for use by the SMU Task Force prior

reference to JPRA's prior interrogation support in the briefing materials


prompted a discussion among ADM Giambastiani, LTG Wagner, Maj Gen Soligan and CAPT
Donovan about the September 2003 trip to Iraq and the CONOP that was created during that trip.
_(
Col Moulton, the JPRA Commander, had earlier defended the inclusion
ofthe full range of SERE techniques in the Iraq CONOP by saying that "all the techniques
discussed [in the CONOP] are ones that [JPRA] (or other services) employ in our training (with
considerable oversight - only the Navy uses the waterboard)." He continued: "In discussions
with [the Office of Secretary of Defense General Counsel] last year, they specifically requested
what type of techniques we found most effective against our personnel. Our intent is to provide
a prioritized list of what works on our folks, and let the lawyers and Combatant Commanders
decide to what degree and which target audience they apply these, if any, techniques. ,,1758
(
During consideration ofthe Afghanistan trip, CAPT Donovan forwarded Col
Moulton's email to ADM Giambastiani, LTG Wagner, and Maj Gen Soligan and wrote:
When [Col Mouhon] says that the Navy uses [waterboarding], he means that they
use it against our own people during survival, evasion, resistance and escape
(SERE) training. In other words, qualified Navy SERE instructors use this to
demonstrate to our own people what the. ENEMY is likely to do to them in the
even they are captured, and (hopefully) to train our people how to resist or cope
with such techniques.
JPRA and SERE folks will swear that the "water board" does not actually
physically harm subjects if it is administered by properly trained SERE
instructors, under close supervision, etc. For that reason, some argue that the

1757.Shortly after the briefing. a JFCOM action officer sent JPRA leadership a list of action items for LTG
Soligan. Among those were JPRA (1) locating the after action report from JPRA's support to
and (2) preparing a message to the Chainnan of the Joint Chiefs of Staff "to provide policy/guidance on
possibility of extending JPRA roles/responsibilities to the offensive vice defensive preparations/practices." In
response, Col. Moulton told the JFCOM action officer that "[t]here was no [after action report] for t h e "
support" and instead directed him to the "executive summary" of the trip provided in the briefing materials. Col.
Moulton also stated that it was JPRA's understanding that "[Admiral Giambastiani] would approve our participation
[in the Afghanistan trip] with a [Voice Command] from the Joint Staff regardless of the status of the policy guidance
(he has previously approved and we are currently supporting other 'offensive' efforts)." Email from Randy Moulton

"water board" does not technically constitute torture under domestic or


international law. 1 can only say that in my opinion, that argument does not pass
the "Washington Post test." 1 fail to see how anyone can reasonably say that
employing such techniques against those in our custody is worthy of the United
States, no matter how much we may need the information. In my view, for the
U.S. to do this "lowers the bar" and ensures, if there is any doubt, that similar
techniques will be employed against any US personnel captured by our enemies.
For this reason, there is risk involved in having JPRA "advise" interrogators in
CENTCOM - JPRA's expertise concerns the effective techniques used by the
BAD GUYS against us, and 1 frankly don't believe that's the kind of advice we
should be giving to the U.S. side. 1 see great potential for theater personnel to do
it wrong, and to then say, "well JPRA said this was what we should do.,,1759
II(
On May 13,2004, the day after Col Moulton briefed the JFCOM leadership,
he circulated a revised CONOP for the Mghanistan trip. The revised CONOP stated that IPRA
would "not recommend or train physical pressures," however, it also stated that a "key task" of
the mission was to observe "exploitation procedures at the site to assist in identifyin~
improvements" and develop "alternate approaches to meet exploitation objectives.,,1 60 CAPT
Donovan immediately expressed his concern with that "key task" in an email to ADM
Giambastiani and LTG Wagner, stating:
1 [am] concerned about JPRA "identifying alternate approaches to meet
exploitation objectives" (read: more effective interrogation methods). Since
JPRA's expertise is all the unlawful interrogation techniques the enemy uses
against captured US forces, 1 recommend you consider NOT having JPRA get
involved in this aspect of CENTCOM's request. 1761

CAPT Donovan also expressed his concerns about the intended mission to Col
Moulton, writing in a May 13, 2004 email:
[I]t is not advisable to have JPRA assist in "improving exploitation" (i.e.,
suggesting more effective interrogation techniques). JPRA's core expertise is in
training DoD personnel to resist!cope with techniques - many of them illegal
that may be employed by our enemies if DoD personnel are captured. It just
doesn't make sense to me to have experts in what the "bad guys" do to us
advising our U.S. interrogators - there is a real risk, if theater interrogators then
'do it wrong," for them to claim "JPRA's experts recommended this."

Accordingly, my recommendation is that JPRA not get involved in this aspect of

III The next day, CAPT Donovan sent another email to ADM Giambastiani, LTG

CENTCOM Makes Another Requestfor JPRA Interrogation Assistance in


Afghanistan (U)

On June 20, 2004, about a month after their initial request, CENTCOM made another
request to the Joint Stafffor JPRA assistance at interrogation facilities in Bagram and Kandahar
in Afghanistan. 1765 The request sought a team from JPRA to "conduct on-site assessments" in
July and to "assist the commands in ... developing and implementing an indoctrinationJrogram
and other interrogation / exploitation options, required as a result ofthe assessments.,,17
Specifically, CENTCOM requested that the JPRA team "observe exploitation procedures at the
site and identifl improvements or develop alternate approaches to meet exploitation
objectives.,,176
_
When the request arrived at JFCOM, CAPT Donovan again raised concerns with
Maj Gen Soligan about the scope ofthe request. In a June 21, 2004 email, he asked "whether
JPRA is really the appropriate choice" for the mission described in the CENTCOM request, i.e.,
to "observe exploitation procedures at the site and identify improvements or develop alternate
approaches to meet exploitation objectives.,,1768 Maj Gen Soligan subsequently raised the issue
with Maj Gen John Sattler, the CENTCOM Director of Operations (13), who Maj Gen Soligan
said told him that CENTCOM had made a "conscious decision on what capability they want.,,1769
_CAPT Donovan also raised his concerns directly with lawyers at CENTCOM and
the Joint Staff. In an email to the lawyers, he wrote:

I'm concerned that the folks from our Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA)
who oversee training US military personnel how to resist interrogations by our
enemies (e.g., SERE training) - are the wrong guys to be advising US
interrogators how to more effectively exploit PUCs. JPRA considers themselves
to be the exploitation experts, but in many ways my view is that their expertise is
in training US personnel how to best resist ILLEOAL techniques. This kind of
advice may be the last thing you all want/need in Afghanistan right now. 1770
_
Over the next month, JFCOM senior leadership discussed the proposed trip with
JPRA and the Joint Staff. At JFCOM's request, JPRA developed and provided JFCOM with a
training plan for the mission 1771 On June 30, 2004, Maj Oen Soligan told JPRA in an email to
prepare for the trip, but directed them not to deploy until the trip was approved by JFCOM's
Commander ADM Edmund Oiambastiani. 1772 JFCOM also discussed working with Joint Staff
to fmd a capability outside JPRA to send to CENTCOM to assist with their detainee operations,
but expected a "nonconcur" with any "recommendation to use other resources.,,1773

II As discussions about the CENTCOM request continued within JFCOM, Col Kenneth
Rollins, a SERE psychologist added his perspective on the advisability of sending JPRA
personnel to assist with interrogations. The psychologist said:
[W]e need to really stress the difference between what instructors do at SERE
school (done to INCREASE RESISTANCE capability in students) versus what is
taught at interrogator[] school (done to gather information). What is done by
SERE instructors is by definition ineffective interrogator conduct, and
interrogator school, not SERE school is the appropriate focus and model for
investigating interrogators. Simply stated, SERE school does not train you on
how to interrogate, and things you "learn" there by osmosis about interrogation
are probably wrong if copied by interrogators. 1774

II

As Col Rollins's comments were circulated at JFCOM, LtCol Richard Posey, one of
the JFCOM JAOs added that "[i]t would be difficult to come up with a stronger argument against
concurring in this request.,,1775 LtCol Posey added: "CENTCOM needs interrogation experts.
JPRA is telling us ... that their instructors are ineffective interrogators and probably do it wrong
because their focus is on increasing resistance not decreasing it. For the same reasons, this does

U.S. Joint Forces Command Issues Policy Guidance For JPRA "Offensive"
Suppon(U)

. . In July 2004, following JFCOM's cancellation ofthe proposed trip by JPRA


personnel to Mghanistan, ADM Giambastiani issued guidance to JPRA about "offensive"
interrogation support. In a July 21, 2004 email to Col Moulton and RADM John Bird, the
JFCOM J-3, Maj Gen Soligan wrote:
ADM Giarnbastiani has given specific guidance that JPRA will not conduct any
activities on or make any recommendations on offensive interrogation techniques
or activities without specific approval from the JFCOM Commander, [Deputy
Commander, or Chief of Staff] All JPRA actions and recommendations related
to interrogations of enemy detainees will be conducted in accordance with
JPRA's current mission statement and limited to defensive actions and
recommendations. 1778
_
A few days after that email, a draft memo containing the guidance was sent to Col
Moulton. In a July 26, 2004 email to Maj Gen Soligan and RADM Bird, Col Moulton
questioned why the policy was necessary and offered his view on JPRA's prior support to
interrogation operations:
Immediately following 9/11 JPRA was approached by~
~SD General Council [sic] (and l a t e r - , - ,
. . . . . - USA strategic debriefmg school in Ft Huachuca, and ITF 170)
regarding U.S. training on resistance to interrogation techniques. All requests for
information or support were coordinated through JFCOM, and all interested
agencies were directed to make formal requests through JFCOM. All external
requests for support have been unsolicited. From the very beginning I expressed
concern that supporting these requests would go outside the JPRA charter and
provided an honest assessment of the potential risk associated with the support.
All CONOPS and actions have been fully vetted through JFCOM. Ifthe message
is to relay that we won't play in "offensive" ops - that has been received loud and

clear. If the purpose is to prevent OSD/GC,. and other DoD Interroyation


organizations from making requests I'm not sure this memo is going to help. 779
(U) A formal JFCOM policy memo relating to JPRA's "offensive" support to
interrogation operations was not finalized until September 29, 2004, after the Inspector General
ofthe Department of Defense began looking into the issue. In the September 2004 memo, Maj
Gen Soligan wrote:

Recent requests from OSD and the Combatant Commands have solicited JPRA
support based on knowledge and their application to U.S. strategic debriefing and
interrogation techniques.
These requests, which can be characterized as
"offensive" techniques include, but are not limited to, activities designed not to
increase one's resistance capabilities to interrogation techniques but rather
intended to instruct personnel, for the purpose of gathering of information, on
how to break down another's ability to withstand interrogation ... The use of
resistance to interrogation knowled~e for "offensive" purposes lies outside the
roles and responsibilities of JPRA 17
(U) The policy did not, however, explicitly prohibit JPRA from conducting such
activities in all instances. Instead, it stated that all requests for "offensive" support should
"continue to" be directed through JFCOM but instructed that:

[A]ny deviation in roles and responsibilities must be carefully scrutinized and


vetted through proper legal and policy channels. JPRA personnel will not
conduct any activities without specific approval from the USJFCOM Commander,
Deputy Commander, or the Chief of Staff. Deviations from the JPRA chartered
mission of this nature are policy decisions that will be forwarded to the Office of
the Secretary of Defense (OSD) for action. JPRA will continue to direct all
requests for external support through USJFCOM and refrain from providing any
support or information unless specifically directed by USJFCOM as outlined
above. 1781
(U) As the Department of Defense Inspector General continued its inquiry into JPRA's
prior "offensive" interrogation su~ort, the DoD Inspector General asked JFCOM about the
September 2004 policy memo. 178 In a February 2005 memo to the DoD Inspector General,
LTG Wagner stated that the purpose ofthe September 2004 policy was to provide "clear
guidance" and to "prevent use of JPRA outside the command's mission scope.,,1783 Knowing

house, not an intelligence gathering activity.,,1784 He added that "JPRA does not have not have
personnel assigned to be interrogators," and that ''the expertise ofJPRA lies in training personnel
how to respond and resist interrogations - not in how to conduct interrogations.,,1785
(U) According to LTG Wagner, JFCOM issued the September 2004 policy statement ''to
ensure that JPRA activities remained within the scope ofthat Agency's mission charter.,,1786 He
stated that JFCOM considered requests for JPRA "interrogator support" to be "inconsistent" with
JPRA's charter. 1787 He stated, however, that the memorandum was not "issued in response to
suspected or known inappropriate JPRA activities, as no such activities were known by this
headquarters to have been conducted.,,1788 Notwithstanding that statement, however, by
September 2004, when JFCOM issued the policy, JFCOM had already approved a trip by JPRA
personnel to Iraq as well as other "offensive" interrogation support - activities that fell outside
JPRA's roles and responsibilities.

Introduction
The version of the 2004 CIA Inspector Generals report
released on August 24, 2009 provides greater detail on the
central role that health professionals played in the CIAs torture
program and reveals a level of ethical misconduct that had not
previously come to light.
The report confirms that the CIA inflicted torture on
detainees interrogated while in US custody as part of the
agencys counterterrorism activities and exposes additional
interrogation techniques that had not yet been reported. It also
demonstrates that health professionals were involved at every
stage in the development, implementation and legitimization of
this torture program.
The doctors and psychologists who laid the foundation upon
which attorneys rationalized an illegal program of torture also
actively participated in abusive and illegal interrogations, thus
betraying the ethical standards of their professions by contributing to physical and mental suffering and anguish. The very
premise of health professional involvement in abusive interrogations that they have a role in safeguarding detainees is
an unconscionable affront to the profession of medicine.
The Inspector Generals report also reveals that medical
professionals were directed to meticulously monitor the waterboarding of detainees to try to improve the techniques effectiveness, essentially using the detainees as human subjects, a
practice that approaches unlawful experimentation.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) has prepared the
following analysis of the Inspector Generals report, building on
the 2007 report by PHR and Human Rights First (HRF), Leave
No Marks, which assessed interrogation techniques reported up
to that time, which have now been confirmed by the Inspector
Generals report. This paper provides an introductory summary
of techniques newly described in the Inspector Generals report
and then offers a more detailed medical analysis of those
techniques. The paper then reviews the various ways health
professionals were complicit in enabling the torture regime.

Summary of Newly Detailed Techniques


The Inspector Generals report describes several forms of
abuse not previously reported that CIA interrogators and contractors implemented, and that from a medical and legal perspective constitute torture. These include:
Mock executions and threatening detainees by brandishing handguns and power drills;
Threatening the detainee with harm to his family members including sexual assault of female family members,
and murder of detainees children; and
Physical abuse including the application of pressure to
the arteries on the sides of a detainees neck resulting in
near loss of consciousness, and tackling or hard takedowns.

These methods have significant harmful physical and mental


health consequences.
The report provides new details about previously reported
forms of abuse referred to as enhanced interrogation techniques. The harmful health consequences of these forms of
torture and abuse have previously been described by PHR, including in the reports Break Them Down, Leave No Marks and
Broken Laws, Broken Lives. 1
The Inspector Generals report clearly questions the efficacy,
ethics and legality of these as well as the previously mentioned
enhanced interrogation techniques. The report also confirms
the theory of a slippery slope in interrogation settings, namely that torture by its very nature escalates in the severity and
frequency of its use beyond the approved techniques.

Medical Analysis of the Interrogation


Techniques Described in the Inspector Generals
Report
The adverse physical and mental health effects of stripping
(forced nudity), isolation, white noise or loud music, continuous light or darkness (sensory deprivation), temperature manipulation, stress positions, sleep deprivation, attention slap,
abdominal slap, stress positions and waterboarding have been
previously described in the Physicians for Human Rights and
Human Rights First report Leave No Marks. The following
medical analysis focuses on techniques not previously reviewed by PHR.
As with the techniques previously analyzed, it is important
to understand two key points. First, while the techniques are
evaluated individually, these techniques were designed to be
used in combination in a way that enhanced pain and stress.
Second, to comprehend the severity of the effects of these
techniques, it is essential to consider the context of their use. In
terms of both long and short term psychological effect, there is
no meaningful equivalence between waterboarding when used
as part of survival training of service men who have volunteered and consented to the procedure and who know that they
are in an environment where they trust the mock interrogator to
protect their safety and may stop the procedure at any time, and
waterboarding of a high value detainee in a black site where the
detainee is in actual fear for his life and safety. As the Inspector
Generals report indicates:
One of the psychologist/interrogators acknowledged
that the Agencys use of the [waterboarding] technique
differed from that used in SERE training and explained

Analysis of New Approved Techniques Revealed


in Inspector Generals Report
The additional approved techniques listed in the Inspector
Generals report and not previously analyzed by PHR include
shaving, hooding, restricted diet, prolonged diapering, walling and confinement boxes.
As with the previously reviewed techniques, while these
techniques can have harmful physical as well as mental health
effects, their chief objective is to produce psychological impact, and their chief risk is prolonged mental pain and suffering.

1. Forced shaving
Forced shaving of the head and beard was alleged by two
of the fourteen detainees interviewed by the ICRC for its 2007
report.
Mr. Ramzi Bin-al-Shib alleged that, in his eighth place of
detention, first his head was shaved and then some days
later his beard was also shaved off. He was particularly
distressed by the fact that the people who shaved him allegedly deliberately left some spots and spaces in order
to make him look and feel particularly undignified and
abused.3
In 2007, PHR physicians examined a former US detainee,
who reported:
When they finished hitting me they shaved my hair.
The only hair I had was in the middle. This was only to
humiliate me. 4
Medical Analysis: Forced shaving obviously carries little
risk of physical harm, and is chiefly designed to inflict psychological harm by means of humiliation, both personal and
religious. Forced shaving was part of a campaign to sever the
sense of self derived from religious belief, and was often accompanied by forced removal of religious articles.
In addition to the violation of cultural and religious taboos,
forced shaving constitutes an intrusion into the personal space
and bodily integrity of the person, infringing on autonomy and
self-control. The combined effects of this type of treatment in
combination with other techniques have been associated with
long-lasting psychological injury such as posttraumatic stress
disorder, anxiety and depression.

2. Hooding
Detainees were blindfolded or hooded to instill in them a
sense of fear, disorientation and dependency on their captors.
According to the February 2004 report of the International
Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on treatment of detainees
in Iraq:
Hooding [was] used to prevent people from seeing and to
disorient them, and also to prevent them from breathing
freely. One, or sometimes two bags, sometimes with an
elastic blindfold over the eyes which, when slipped down,
further impeded proper breathing. Hooding was sometimes used in conjunction with beatings thus increasing
anxiety as to when blows would came. The practice of
hooding also allowed the interrogators to remain anonymous and thus to act with impunity. Hooding could last
for periods from a few hours to up to 2 to 4 consecutive
days, during which hoods were lifted only for drinking,
eating or going to the toilets.5
PHR reported in Broken Laws, Broken Lives that according
to former detainees medically evaluated by PHR, hooding was
used both during transportation and during interrogation.
Medical Analysis:When not used in transport, hooding is
a form of sensory deprivation aimed at causing dislocation and
confusion. Research shows that prolonged sensory deprivation can result in depression, depersonalization and psychosis.
According to the ICRC report, hooding, and other observed
sensory deprivation techniques resulted in
signs of concentration difficulties, memory problems,
verbal expression difficulties, incoherent speech, acute
anxiety reactions, abnormal behavior and suicidal
tendencies.6

3. Dietary Manipulation
Detainees were deprived of solid food for periods ranging
from days to months. Mr. Abu Zubaydah alleged that for a period of two to three weeks during his initial period of interrogation, he was kept sitting on a chair constantly and only provided with liquid Ensure (a nutrient formula) and water. Mr. Binal-Shib reported that he went three to four weeks without solid
food, and was only provided with Ensure and water. In addition, six other high-value detainees reported being deprived of
solid food for periods ranging from days to weeks.7
Medical Analysis: While physical risks of a liquid diet are
minimal as long as appropriate calories and nutrients are provided, the intent of dietary manipulation is to inflict psychological distress by infringing on the detainees sense of autonomy
and self control and increasing discomfort and a sense of helplessness and dependency. While the risk of death or debilitation
may be minimal, the effects on concentration and mood may be
substantial.

4. Prolonged Diapering
Detainees were placed in diapers and denied access to a toilet
for prolonged periods of time. According to the ICRC Report,
high value detainees in CIA custody were placed in diapers for
prolonged periods for transport.
The detainee would be made to wear a diaper and dressed
in a tracksuit The journey times obviously varied considerably and ranged from one hour to over twenty-four
to thirty hours. The detainee was not allowed to go to the
toilet and if necessary was obliged to urinate or defecate
in the diaper.
The ICRC report states that one of the detainees, Mr. Bin
Attash, was compelled to wear a diaper for a prolonged period:
[H]e commented that on several occasions the diaper
was not replaced so he had to urinate and defecate on
himself while shackled in the prolonged stress standing position. Indeed, in addition to Mr. Bin Attash, three
other detainees specified that they had to defecate and
urinate on themselves and remain standing in their own
body fluids.8
Medical Analysis: Prolonged diapering especially when
combined with leaving the subject in a diaper soiled with urine
and feces can result in both physical and psychological harm.
Prolonged exposure of the skin can result in skin infection,
skin breakdown and ulceration and urinary tract infections. In
addition, the placement of a normally continent adult in a diaper will likely lead to efforts by the adult to resist urination or
defecation, which in turn will likely result in bowel cramping
and bladder spasm.
Access to toilet is a universally recognized minimum standard for prisoners and detainees. In spite of the physical risks,
the chief aim of this technique is to cause psychological stress
through humiliation, induced dependency, loss of autonomy,
and regression to an infantile state.9 Like all such techniques,
especially when combined with others of the DDD type
(debility-dependency-dread), these are cumulative and lead to
short and long-term debilitation. At Guantnamo, the standard
operating procedures included requiring the detainee to ask
the interrogator for toilet paper, food, and religious articles.
Here, the torturers go even further, returning the detainee to
pre-toilet-training levels. When combined with a liquid diet,
the experiences of regression, humiliation, and dependency are
magnified.

5. Walling
Six of the fourteen high-value detainees interviewed by the
ICRC reported being placed in a neck collar or roll and then
slammed against a wall. According to the CIA guidelines,
8 ICRC Report.
9 The purpose of all coercive techniques is to induce psychological
regression in the subject by bringing a superior outside force to bear on his
will to resist. Regression is basically a loss of autonomy, a reversion to an
earlier behavioral level. As the subject regresses, his learned personality traits
fall away in reverse chronological order Human Resource Exploitation
Manual, CIA, 1983

slamming against a wall could be used twenty or thirty times


consecutively.
During the walling technique, the detainee is pulled forward
and then quickly and firmly pushed into a flexible false wall so
that his shoulder blades hit the wall. His head and neck are supported with a rolled towel to prevent whiplash. 10
Although the guidelines require that the wall be a specially
constructed flexible one, some detainees alleged that they were
also slammed against concrete wall using the collar during
transport.11
Mr. Bin Attash alleged that during interrogation in
Afghanistan:
on a daily basis during the first two weeks a collar was
looped around my neck and then used to slam me against
the walls of the interrogation room.
Medical Analysis: Walling results in blunt trauma and acceleration/deceleration type injuries. Blunt trauma can result
in bruises and bleeding from ruptured blood vessels. Studies
have observed persistence of musculoskeletal pain cause by
blunt trauma even a decade after the trauma has occurred. In
rare cases, repeated beating can cause damage to muscle tissue
and muscle breakdown resulting in release of muscle enzymes
resulting in a life-threatening condition called rhabdomyolisis.
In addition, walling can expose the subject to risk of whiplash
type injury to the neck and spine. 12
Psychological stress, which is the primary aim of the procedure, is achieved by use of surprise, generating a startle response, an experience of shock, loss of control and helplessness. Also, rage is engendered which turns to further humiliation, insofar as the detainee cannot fight back.

6. Confinement in a Box
Confinement in a box is a rather extreme version of a stress
position with the added potential for claustrophobia.
According to the ICRC report, Abu Zubaydah alleged that
in Afghanistan in 2002 he was held in boxes designed to constrain his movement. Mr. Zubaydah stated:
As it was not high enough even to sit upright, I had to
crouch down. It was very difficult because of my wounds.
The stress on my legs held in this position meant that my
wounds both in the leg and the stomach became very
painful.
He went on to say that a cover was placed over the boxes
while he was inside making it hot and difficult to breathe.
Medical Analysis: Confinement in a box is an extreme example of stress positions, with the added effect of decreased
access to fresh air, temperature changes, light deprivation and
isolation. Stress positions have been associated with permanent
10 CIA guidelines as reproduced in Inspector Generals report, p. 15.

joint and ligamentous injury, and both acute and prolonged
musculoskeletal pain. In addition, use of stress positions following blunt trauma carries the risk of deep vein thrombosis
(clotting) and associated and potentially fatal pulmonary emboli. This is not a theoretical risk, as at least two detainees in
US Custody in Afghanistan died of pulmonary emboli due to
use of stress positions in interrogation settings.13
Confinement in a box was devised as a direct appropriation
of Martin Seligmans research on learned helplessness. In
fact, on at least two occasions, Seligman presented his learned
helplessness research to CIA contract interrogators referred to
in the Inspector Generals report. In Seligmans experiment,
dogs were confined to boxes in which they discovered that familiar mechanisms of control would no longer have an effect in
avoiding pain.
Like their canine counterparts, humans subjected to similar
confinement develop psychomotor and cognitive responses
that would be clinically diagnosed as depression and, in certain cases, PTSD. Such symptoms include apathy, helplessness, hopelessness, foreshortened sense of future, and a (in this
case justified) lack of belief in their ability to affect their future
prospects. In Seligmans experiments, these symptoms were
severe and lasting, in that a change to an environment where
the dogs could have an effect did not change the symptoms of
learned helplessness.

Unapproved and Improvised Techniques


The Inspector Generals Report contains numerous accounts
of interrogation techniques that were not approved for use, including threats with a gun and power drill, threats of harm to
loved ones, and choking and carotid artery pressure.
Threats of harm to the detainee or loved ones are reviewed
in Leave No Marks. The risks of choking and carotid artery
pressure should be self-evident. They include risk of choking
death and stroke, as well as high risk of psychological trauma from a near-death experience. Near-death experiences are
highly correlated with the risk of developing post traumatic
stress disorder.

harmful interrogationtechniques.15 Such medical participation


in torture is a clear violation of medical ethics. Furthermore,
health professionals were complicit in selecting and then rationalizing these abusive methods whose safety and efficacy
in eliciting accurate information have no valid basis in science. The severe physical and psychological pain and enduring harms associated with these techniques make it evident that
they constitute torture and ill treatment. Monitoring of interrogation techniques by medical professionals to determine their
effectiveness uses detainees as human subjects without their
consent, and thus also approaches unlawful experimentation.16
According to CIA guidelines, health professionals including
a psychologist and doctor were required to be present during
the use of enhanced interrogation techniques.17 The required
presence of health professionals did not make these methods
safer, and in fact only served to sanitize their use and enable
the abuse to escalate, thereby placing health professionals in
the untenable position of calibrating harm rather than serving
as protectors and healers as required by their ethical oath.
The report also documents the role of health professionals in
participating in initial psychological and physical assessments
of detainees in an intake process closely linked to the process
of interrogation. By requirement, all interrogations were monitored in real-time by health professionals. Previous reports,
including the ICRC report, document allegations that a medical device called a pulse oximeter (a device to measure oxygen
saturation in a subjects blood) was placed on the finger of a
15 Several months earlier, in late 2001, CIA had tasked an independent
contractor psychologist, who had [redacted] experience in the US Air
Forces Survival, Evasion, resistance, and Escape (SERE) training program,
to research and write a paper on Al-Qaidas resistance to interrogation
techniques. This psychologist collaborated with a Department of Defense
(DoD) psychologist who had [redacted] SERE experience in the US
Air Force and DoD to produce the paper Recognizing and Developing
Countermeasures to Al-Qaidas Resistance to Interrogation Techniques:
A Resistance Training Perspective. Subsequently, the two psychologists
developed a list of new and more aggressive EITs [enhanced interrogation
techniques] that they recommended for use in interrogations. Inspector
Generals Report p. 13. CIAs OTS obtained data on the use of the proposed
EITs and their potential long-term psychological effects on detainees.
OTS input was based in part on information solicited from a number of
psychologist and knowledgeable academics in the area of psychopathology
and OTS also solicited input from DoD/Joint Personnel Recovery Agency
(JPRA) regarding techniques used in SERE training and any subsequent
psychological effects on students. Inspector Generals Report p. 14.
16 The Office of Medical Services guidelines for waterboarding state A
rigid guide to the medically approved use of the waterboard is not possible, as
safety will depend on how the water is applied and the specific response each
time it is used. The following general guidelines are based on very limited
knowledge, drawn from very few subjects whose experience and response
was quite varied. They add NOTE: In order to best inform future medical
judgments and recommendations, it is important that every application of the
waterboard be thoroughly documented: how long each application (and the
entire procedure) lasted, how much water was applied, if a seal was achieved,
if the naso- or oropharynx was filled, what sort of volume was expelled, how
long was the break between applications, and how the subject looked between
each treatment.
17 In 2004, when Daniel B. Levin, then the acting assistant attorney general
in the counsels office, sent a letter to the CIA reauthorizing waterboarding,
he dictated the terms: no more than two sessions of two hours each, per day,
with both a doctor and a psychologist in attendance. Report Shows Tight

detainee to monitor the effectiveness of his respiration during
waterboarding.18 In this way, medical professionals were used
to calibrate physical and mental pain and suffering.
Not only were health professionals involved in designing
and monitoring the CIA interrogation program, they also played
an indirect but essential role in the legal justifications for the
program prepared by the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). The
OLC was asked by the CIA whether certain techniques constituted torture under 18 USC 2340 by causing severe physical or mental pain or suffering. Since the OLC lawyers had
no direct experience of the techniques, they necessarily relied
instead on the judgment of health professionals.Yet, in a striking example of bootstrapping, they turned for advice about the
pain caused by the techniques to the very health professionals
who were implementing them.19
In essence, the lawyers were asked if the techniques constituted torture and they replied to the CIA that they only did so if
the CIA Office of Medical Services (OMS) informed them that
the techniques reached the defined standard of pain.The OMS
health professionals obligingly passed on through CIA channels their opinion that the pain was not in fact severe
In an egregious example of this circular process, one OLC
memo concludes that waterboarding is not torture because
however frightening the experience may be, OMS personnel
have informed us that the waterboard technique is not physically painful. Scores of similar references to OMS medical
judgments about pain and the safeguarding effects of medical
monitoring appear throughout the memos. Although OMS did
express some concern about some techniques, those objections
were limited. Without the cooperation of health professionals
in making these assessments, the OLC memos could not have
reached the conclusions they did and could not have so easily
justified torture.
The intent of the CIA interrogation program was to cause
severe psychological distress.20 Despite citation of unnamed
18 ICRC report. Note that the use of a pulse oximeter, and the requirement
that an emergency tracheostomy kit be kept ready is even more evidence that
the procedure is intentionally harmful, risky and potentially lethal.
19 In certain cases the very same JPRA psychologists who designed the
torture and implemented the techniques, and, who, as private contractors,
profited from the operation, also provided the research that justified the
techniques: You have informed us that your on-site psychologists, who have
extensive experience with the use of the waterboard in Navy training, have
not encountered any significant long-term mental health consequences from
its use. Your on-site psychologists have also indicated that JPRA has likewise
not reported any significant mental health consequences from the use of the
waterboard.
20 CIA Inspector Generals Report. Appendix F. Captured terrorists turned
over to the CIA for interrogation may be subjected to a wide range of legally
sanctioned techniques, all of which are also used on US military personnel in
SERE training programs. These are designed to psychologically dislocate
the detainee, maximize his feelings of vulnerability and helplessness, and
reduce or eliminate his will to resist our efforts to obtain critical intelligence.
In addition, the sanction techniques include so-called Standard measures
or those deemed to be without physical or substantial psychological pressure
and so-called Enhanced measures, or those deemed to cause physical or
psychological pressure beyond Standard measures. (p. 1). In all instances,
the goal of these techniques is psychological impact and are designed to
induce shock, surprise and/or humiliation. (p. 2).

experts who reportedly concluded that these techniques were


unlikely to cause significant harm, the notion that these abusive
techniques can be used safely has no basis in medical science
and is not supported by an extensive peer-reviewed literature.21
From a medical, scientific and common sense perspective the
idea that such abusive and inhumane techniques can be safely deployed is unsupportable. The techniques authorized and
deployed have long been documented to cause significant and
long lasting psychological pain and suffering including posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety and major depression.22 In
fact, a recent study demonstrates that abusive techniques employed during captivity which emphasized psychological torture over physical injury, such as psychological manipulation,
forms of deprivation, humiliation and stress positions, cause as
much mental pain and traumatic stress as does torture designed
to inflict physical injury. 23
The use of these abusive methods violates international human rights standards. The likely illegality of the program was
known to the agency and debated within the agency. Those advocating for the use of abusive techniques such as waterboarding should have known that the US had prosecuted these same
techniques as torture. Health professionals who were involved
in its justification, design and implementation should have
known that professional ethics prohibit health professionals
from complicity in such harmful acts against prisoners or detainees. It is precisely to avoid such complicity that health professionals have recourse to professional codes of ethics, as well
as international standards of medical conduct. Familiarity with
these codes not to mention basic human decency should
preclude such conduct, making clear to health professionals
and government institutions both its essentially unethical nature and illegal status under international law.
Not only should interrogators be subject to an investigation of alleged criminal conduct. Health professionals who
were involved in this program should be the subject to independent investigation for both criminal and unprofessional
conduct. Professionals who have violated professional ethics
or the law must be held accountable through criminal prosecution, loss of license and professional society membership,
where appropriate.

21 See Leave No Marks and Broken Laws, Broken Lives. Although these
reports were published in 2007 and 2008 respectively, they summarized
scientific literature that was well established in 2001. In a bizarre justification
for the safety of the techniques, the OLC report states, You have also
reviewed the relevant literature and found no empirical data on the effect of
these techniques with the exception of sleep-deprivation. OLC August 1,
2002, p. 6. Yet, there is a large body of research on the effects of these and
similar techniques, much of it supported by the CIA. See for example The
Search for the Manchurian Candidate (c) 1979 by John Marks. Published by
Times Books.

Conclusion
The newly released version of the May 2004 CIA
Inspector Generals report on Counterterrorism Detention
and Interrogation Activities reveals the use of a number of
previously undescribed techniques including:
Forced Shaving
Hooding
Dietary Manipulation
Prolonged Diapering
Walling
Confinement in a box
These techniques used alone or in combination may meet the
definition of torture under US and international law. Legality
aside, they are associated with high risk of physical and psychological harm, including harm that is enduring, in those subjected to these techniques. They also represent clear violations
of well-established medical ethics governing the behavior of
health professionals.

The Inspector Generals report confirms much of what had


been reported about the essential role played by health professionals in designing, deploying, monitoring and legitimizing
the program of torture, but also raises disturbing new questions
which require further investigation. The possibility that health
professionals monitored techniques to assess and improve their
effectiveness, constituting possible unethical human experimentation, urgently needs to be thoroughly investigated.
PHR has long called for full investigation and remedies including accountability for war crimes, and reparation such as
compensation, medical care and psycho-social services. PHR
also calls for health professionals who have violated ethical
standards or the law to be held accountable through criminal
prosecution, loss of license and loss of professional society
membership where appropriate.

The report also confirms use of previously reported techniques, covered in the PHR and Human Rights First report
Leave No Marks, such as isolation, forced nudity, stress positions, temperature manipulation, waterboarding, and other
techniques which were used in ways that violated the torture
statute and international law.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Report of Inspection of MKULTRA
1. In connection with our survey of Technical Services Division, DD/P, it was deemed advisable to prepare
the report of the MKULTRA program in one copy only, in view of its unusual sensitivity.
2. This report is forwarded herewith.
3. The MKULTRA activity is concerned with the research and development of chemical, biological, and
radiological materials capable of employment in clandestine operations to control human behavior. The end
products of such research are subject to very strict controls including a requirement for the personal approval
of the Deputy Director/Plans for any operational use made of these end products.
4. The cryptonym MKULTRA encompasses the R&D phase and a second cryptonym MKDELTA denotes
the DD/P system for control of the operational employment of such materials. The provisions of the
MKULTRA authority also cover xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [probably chemical and biological warfare
research with the US Army]. The administration and control of this latter activity were found to be generally
satisfactory and are discussed in greater detail in the main body of the report on TSD.
5. MKULTRA was authorized was authorized by then Director of Central Intelligence, Mr. Allen W. Dulles,
in 1953. The TSD was assigned responsibility thereby to employ a portion of its R&D budget, eventually set
at 20%, for research in behavioral materials and xxxxxxxxxxxxx under purely internal and compartmented
controls, (further details are provided in paragraph 3 of the attached report). Normal procedures for project
approval, funding, and accounting were waived. However, special arrangements for audit of expenditures
have been evolved in subsequent years.

6. The scope of MKULTRA is comprehensive and ranges from the search for and procurement of botanical
and chemical substances, through programs for their analysis in scientific laboratories, to progressive testing
for effect on animals and human beings. The testing on individuals begins under laboratory conditions
employing every safeguard and progresses gradually to more and more realistic operational situations. The
program requires and obtains the services of a number of highly specialized authorities in many fields of
natural science.
7. The concepts involved in manipulating human behavior are found by many people both within and outside
the Agency to be distasteful and unethical. There is considerable evidence that opposition intelligence
services are active and highly proficient in this field. The experience of TSD to date indicates that both the
research and the employment of the materials are expensive and often unpredictable in results. Nevertheless,
there have been major accomplishments both in research and operational employment.
8. The principal conclusions of the inspection are that the structure and operational controls over this activity
need strengthening; improvements are needed in the administration of research projects; and some of the
testing of substances under simulated operational conditions was judged to involve excessive risk to the
Agency.

revised - see Tab B) as the indicator covering DD/P policy and procedure for the use of biochemicals in
clandestine operations.
2. The MKULTRA charter provides only a brief presentation of the rationale of the authorized activities. The
sensitive aspect of the program as it has evolved over the ensuing ten years are the following:
a. Research in the manipulation of human behavior is considered by many authorities in medicine
and related fields to be professionally unethical, therefore the reputations of professional
participants in the MKULTRA program are on occasion in jeopardy.
b. Some MKULTRA activities raise questions of legality implicit in the original charter.
c. A final phase of the testing of MKULTRA products places the rights and interests of U.S.
citizens in jeopardy.
d. Public disclosure of some aspects of MKULTRA activity could induce serious adverse
reaction in U.S. public opinion, as well as stimulate offensive and defensive action in this field on
the part of foreign intelligence services.
3. In recognition of the sensitivity of MKULTRA, TSD was authorized exclusive control of the
administration, records, and financial accountings of the program. Simple statements of certification were all
that were required of TSD to obtain advances of funds from Finance Division. The DCI's memorandum also
exempted MKULTRA from audit, but this provision was modified to permit limited audit before the end of
the first year. Funding of MKULTRA was eventually stabilized at 20 percent of TSD's annual research and
development budget. It has fallen in the neighborhood of xxxxxxxxxx per year over the ten-year history of
the program, of which about 30 percent has been allocated to support of the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, cf. Tab
C for MKULTRA funding record FY 60-63.
4. The inspection of TSD activities in the field of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx noted below in the section of the
Inspector General's Survey dealing with the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx of TSD, cf.
discussions beginning with paragraphs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The security considerations
applying to xxxxxxxxxxxx were found to be significantly different from those governing manipulation of
human behavior. a) Many xxxxx external projects in support of the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are being funded
and managed securely outside the MKULTRA mechanism. b) Chief, Support, TSD, believes that it may also
be possible in the future to fund xxxxx MKULTRA projects by secure methods more compatible with DD/S
responsibilities. c) The very nature of the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx requires that a high percentage of
staff contribute and be witting of each operation. xxxxx security practices are tight and the Inspector
General's Survey recommends further refinements in security procedures.
5. The inspection of MKULTRA projects in biochemical controls of human behavior raised questions in the
following area of policy and management which are dealt with in the balance of this report:
a. Scope of the MKULTRA charter:
(1) Over the ten-year life of the program many additional avenues to the control of
human behavior have been designated by the TSD management as appropriate to
investigation under the MKULTRA charter, including radiation, electro-shock,
various fields of psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and anthropology, graphology,

harassment substances, and paramilitary devices and materials.
(2) Various projects do not appear to have been sufficiently sensitive to warrant
waiver of normal Agency procedures for authorization and control.
(3) Other secure channels for establishment and funding of Agency-sterile activities
have been evolved over the past ten years by Deputy Director/Support (DD/S) and
in some cases could reasonably be employed by TSD in lieu of MKULTRA
procedures.
In view of these developments there is substantial agreement among all parties concerned that
redefinition of the scope of MKULTRA is now appropriate.
b. MKULTRA management policies:
(1) The original charter documents specified that TSD maintain exacting control of
MKULTRA activities. In doing so, however, TSD has pursued a philosophy of
minimum documentation in keeping with the high sensitivity of some of the projects.
Some files were found to present a reasonably complete record, including most
sensitive matters, while others with parallel objectives contained little or no data at
all. The lack of consistent records precluded use of routine inspection procedures
and raised a variety of questions concerning management and fiscal controls.
(2) Lack of records essential to inspection of MKULTRA moved to the forefront
among issues as the present survey proceeded. Under normal circumstances the
inspectors would have examined an inventory of discrediting, disabling, and lethal
substances perfected or procured form whatever sources. The records on
representative items would have been review according to such standard criteria as:
(a) How were the substance and its properties identified?
(b) What researcher was selected to perform the research, and why?
(c) When was work begun, where, involving what costs, at what rate of
progress, based on what tests?
(d) What are the present capabilities and limitations of the substance for
clandestine operations?
(e) What further research is being conducted on this and related
substances and how does this reflect existing TSD capabilities,
operational requirements and budget factors?
(3) MKULTRA records afforded no such approach to inspection. There are just two
individuals in TSD who have full substantive knowledge of the program and most of
that knowledge is unrecorded. Both are highly skilled, highly motivated,
professionally competent individuals. Part of their competence lies in their command
of intelligence tradecraft. In protecting the sensitive nature of the American
intelligence capability to manipulate human behavior, they apply "need to know"
doctrine to their professional associates and to their clerical assistants to a maximum
degree. Confidence in their competence and discretion has been a vital feature of the
management of MKULTRA.

c. Advanced testing of MKULTRA materials:
It is the firm doctrine in TSD that testing of materials under accepted scientific procedure fails to
disclose the full pattern of reactions and attributions that may occur in operational situations.
TSD initiated a program for covert testing of materials on unwitting U.S. citizens in 1955. The
present report reviews the rationale and risks attending this activity and recommends termination
of such testing in the United States, cf. paragraphs 10-18 below.
II. Modus Operandi
6. The research and development of materials capable of producing behavioral or physiological change in
humans is now performed within a highly elaborate and stabilized MKULTRA structure. The search for new
materials; e.g., psilocybin from Mexican mushrooms, or a fungi occurring in agricultural crops, is conducted
through standing arrangements with specialists in universities, pharmaceutical houses, hospitals, state and
federal institutions, and private research organizations who are authorities in the given field of investigation in
their own right. Annual grants of funds are made under ostensible research foundation auspices to the
specialists located in the public or quasi-public institutions. This approach conceals from the institution the
interest of CIA and permits the recipient to proceed with his investigation, publish his findings (excluding
intelligence implications), and account for his expenditures in a manner normal to his institution. A number of
grants have included funds for the construction and equipping of research facilities and for the employment of
research assistants. Key individuals must qualify for top secret clearance and are made witting of Agency
sponsorship. As a rule each specialist is managed unilaterally and is not witting of Agency support of parallel
MKULTRA research in his field. The system in effect "buys a piece" of the specialist in order to enlist his aid
in pursuing the intelligence implications of his research. His services typically include systematic search of the
scientific literature, procurement of materials, their propagation, and the application of test dosages to animals
and under some circumstances to volunteer human subjects. No quarrel is found with the rationale of this
program tot the extent that it fits the original MKULTRA charter. However, for inspection purposes, there
were lacking records, year by year, of the progress of each project and the recorded judgments of the project
monitors on operational benefits vis-a-vis costs.
7. The funding of sensitive MKULTRA projects by sterile grants in aid as noted in the preceding paragraph
disclosed one of the principal controversial aspects of the program. The original charter of MKULTRA
assumed that the sensitivity of activities would be sufficient to justify both a) special protection for the
researcher; and b) compartmentation of MKULTRA knowledge within the Agency. On this basis the inherent
safeguards of DD/S procedures were waived, the DD/S was not consulted in the design of the MKULTRA
management system, and established Agency audit procedures were waived. In the subsequent administration
of the program, however, TSD has found it feasible to contract with some of the research on MKULTRA
objectives in accordance with prescribed DD/S procedures. The DD/S, in turn, has evolved various secure
systems for the funding of sensitive activities. It appears feasible and appropriate, therefore, to propose that
the DD/S be consulted during the re-chartering of MKULTRA in the design of an administrative system that
does justice to his responsibilities as well as to the management and security requirements of TSD. The
Inspector General accordingly has recommended at the end of this report that the DD/S be consulted in the
re-design of the system; that the Chief, Support, TSD, be assigned responsibility for the day-to-day support of
MKULTRA; and that the latter constitute a bridge to the DD/S for monitoring the future evolution of the
system.
8. The next phase of the MKULTRA program involves physicians, toxicologists, and other specialists in
mental, narcotics, and general hospitals and in prisons, who are provided the products and findings of the
basic research projects and proceed with intensive testing on human subjects. These specialists are also
recipients for testing purposes of the flow of new products from pharmaceutical laboratories. Materials and
procedures with intelligence potential may be identified through this relationship. The testing programs are
conducted under accepted scientific procedures including the use of control populations, the employment of

placebos, and the detailed observation, measurement, recording, analysis, and publication of findings. Where
health permits, test subjects are voluntary participants in the program.
9. A current development in the testing of new products is the tightening of controls over dosages and
procedures by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Since MKULTRA files contained no documentation
on this subject, it was not possible to appraise the significance of this development for MKULTRA objectives.
However, interviews with the TSD officers concerned indicated that that the new rules are affecting
procedures and causing controversy in research hospitals and pharmaceutical houses. The TSD officers have
close relationships with key individuals in many of the leading U.S. pharmaceutical houses and count on their
continued close cooperation in obtaining materials and services deemed vital to U.s. intelligence.
10. The final phase of testing of MKULTRA materials involves their application to unwitting subjects in
normal life settings. It was noted earlier that the capabilities of MKULTRA substances to produce disabling or
discrediting effects or to increase the effectiveness of interrogation of hostile subjects cannot be established
solely through testing of volunteer populations. Reaction and attribution patterns are clearly affected when
the testing is conducted in an atmosphere of confidence under skilled medical supervision.
11. TSD, therefore, entered into a formal arrangement with certain cleared and witting individuals in the
Bureau of Narcotics in 1955 which provided for the released of MKULTRA materials for such testing as
those individuals deemed desirable and feasible. The initial arrangement obtained the services of a senior
representative of the Bureau and one of his assistants on the West Coast. A parallel arrangement was
established on the East Coast in 1961. The Director of the Bureau has been briefed on the activity, but the
Deputy Chief, TSD, who has guided MKULTRA from its inception, is of the opinion that the former would
disclaim all knowledge and responsibility in the event of a compromise. The MKULTRA program director
has, in fact, provided close supervision of the testing program from the beginning and makes periodic visits to
the sites. A sum of $10,000 has been provided annually to each of the two projects to cover cost of
cultivation of targets and maintenance of a safehouse in each area for the observation of effects of substances
on selected test individuals.
12. The particular advantage of these arrangements with the Bureau of Narcotics officials has been that test
subjects could be sought and cultivated within the setting of narcotics control. Some subjects have been
informers or members of suspect criminal elements from whom the Bureau has obtained results of operational
value through the tests. On the other hand, the effectiveness of the substances on individuals at all social
levels, high and low, native American and foreign, is of great significance and testing has been performed on a
variety of individuals within these categories.
13. A significant limitation on the effectiveness of such testing is the infeasibility of performing scientific
observation of results. The Bureau agents are not qualified scientific observers. Their subjects are seldom
accessible beyond the first hours of the test. The testing may be useful in perfecting delivery techniques, and
in identifying surface characteristics of onset, reaction, attribution, and side-effect. In a number of instances,
however, the test subject has become ill for hours or days, including hospitalization in at least on case, and the
agent could only follow-up by guarded inquiry after the test subject's return to normal life. Possible sickness
and attendant economic loss are inherent contingent effects of the testing.
14. The MKULTRA program officer stated that the objectives of covert testing concern the field of
toxicology rather than medicine; further, that the program is not intended to harm test individuals, and that
the medical consultation and assistance is obtained when appropriate through separate MKULTRA
arrangements. The risk of compromise of the program through correct diagnosis of an illness by an unwitting
medical specialist is regularly considered and is stated to be a governing factor in the decision to conduct a
given test. The Bureau officials also maintain close working relations with local police authorities which could
be utilized to protect the activity in critical situations.

15. There have been several discussions in the public press in recent months on the use of certain
MKULTRA-type drugs to influence human behavior. Broadly speaking, these have argued that research
knowledge of possible adverse effects of such substances on human beings is inadequate, that some
applications have done serious harm, and that professional researchers in medicine and psychiatry are split on
the ethics of performing such research. Increasing public attention to this subject must be expected.
16. The final step in the research and development sequence is the delivery of MKULTRA materials into the
MKDELTA control system governing their employment in clandestine operations. The subject is discussed
further in the next section; however, it is appropriate here to note that the employment of MKDELTA
materials remains an art rather than a scientific procedure. A significant number of variable in the target
individual, including age, sex, weight, general health, social status, and personality structure, may account for
widely varying and unpredictable reactions to a given drug in a given dosage.
17. The final stage of covert testing of materials on unwitting subjects is clearly the most sensitive aspect of
MKULTRA. No effective cover story appears to be available. TSD officials state that responsibility for covert
testing is transferred to the Bureau of Narcotics. Yet they also predict that the Chief of the Bureau would
disclaim any knowledge of the activity. Present practice is to maintain no records of the planning and
approval of test programs. The principal responsibility for the propriety of such testing rests with the
MKULTRA program director and the Deputy Chief of TSD. The handling of test subjects in the last analysis
rests with the Narcotics agent working alone. Suppression of knowledge of critical results from the top TSD
and CIA management is an inherent risk in these operations.
18. Final phase testing of MKULTRA substances or devices on unwitting subjects is recognized to be an
activity of genuine importance in the development of some but not all MKULTRA products. Termination of
such testing would have some, but an essentially indeterminate, effect on the development of operational
capability in this field. Of more critical significance, however, is the risk of serious damage to the Agency in
the event of compromise of the true nature of this activity. As now performed under Bureau of Narcotics
auspices, non-Agency personnel are necessarily fully witting of the true nature and significance of their
assignments, and of the sponsorship of CIA. Compromise of this information intentionally or unwittingly by
these individuals at some time in the future is a hazard that cannot be ruled out. A test subject may on some
occasions in the future correctly attribute the cause of his reaction and secure independent professional
medical assistance in identifying the exact nature of the substance employed, and by whom. An extreme
reaction to a test substance could lead to a Bureau request for cooperation from local authorities in
suppressing information of the situation. This would in turn broaden the circle of individuals who possessed at
least circumstantial evidence of the nature of the activity. Weighing possible benefits of such testing against
the risk of compromise and of resulting damage to CIA has led the Inspector General to recommend
termination of this phase of the MKULTRA program. Existing checks and balances on the working level
management of such testing do not afford the senior command of CIA adequate protection against the high
risks involved.
19. It does not follow that termination of cover testing of MKULTRA materials on unwitting U.S. citizens will
bring the program to a halt. Some testing on foreign nationals has been occurring under the present
arrangements. Various U.S. deep cover agents overseas would appear to be more favorably situated than the
U.S. narcotic agents to perform realistic testing. Finally, the operational use of the substances clearly serves
the testing function in view of the lack of predictability of human reactions.
III. Current estimate of the MKULTRA/MKDELTA capability
20. The present Deputy Chief of TSD, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, in his then capacity of scientific advisor to the
Deputy Director/Plans (DD/P), released a study (hereafter referred to as the Gottlieb report) on 21 April
1960, covering his six-month investigation of "Scientific and Technical Problems in Covert Action
Operations". Appendix B of the report was entitled, "The Applicability of Special Chemicals and biologicals

to Clandestine Operations". The inspectors found this Appendix to be a carefully prepared and very useful
treatment of the subject. The remaining paragraphs draw on the Gottlieb report, take account of
developments since that date, and discuss management and funding aspects of MKULTRA.
21. The author opened his discussion with the question of what the operational returns had been from an
eight-year program involving an investment of approximately xxxxxxxxxx. He observed that the Clandestine
Services had encouraged TSD on various occasions to develop and maintain the operational capability in
special drugs and chemicals but that TSD had received little or no guidance in directing the work and that the
Clandestine Services had up to that time shown little inclination to use the end products operationally. He
indicated that there had been approximately 100 operations over the eight years employing harassment
materials (not controlled under the MKDELTA regulation) and only nine operations employing disabling
drugs, (NB: two-thirds of these involved the use of drugs in interrogations). No use of lethal substances was
reported.
22. The factors accounting for the low rate of use of this capability were considered to be the following:
a. the technical shortcomings of the drugs
b. the problem of testing in realistic pilot operations
c. limitations on the dissemination of pertinent information to operations officers
d. organizational and administrative restrictions on operations
e. negative attitudes toward the use of MKDELTA materials
f. problems in the training of case officers in this field
g. the risk of stimulating increased use of MKDELTA materials by opposition intelligence
services
23. Technical shortcomings of the drugs:
As of 1960 no effective knockout pill, truth serum, aphrodisiac, or recruitment pill was known to exist.
MKDELTA was described as inherently a high-risk, low-yield field of operations. Three years later the
situation remains substantially unchanged with the exception that real progress has been made in the use of
drugs in support of interrogation. Ironically, however, the progress here has occurred in the development of a
total psychological theory of interrogation, in which the use of drugs has been relegated to a support role.
[Nine and one-half lines redacted]
24. The problem of testing in realistic pilot operations:
The subject has been discussed above, beginning with paragraph 10. It should also be noted that testing on
operational targets overseas is considered by some operations officers to be quite impracticable. Unilateral
operations are imperative which substantially complicates the delivery problem. The possibilities of
unexpected or critical reactions in test subjects and of ensuring compromise of the activity make most senior
command personnel unwilling to take the risks involved.
25. Limitations on the dissemination of pertinent information to case officers; organizational and
administrative restrictions on operations:
The present-day situation concerning both these problem areas is improved over 1960. TSD now regularly
briefs a variety of senior officers on its MKDELTA capability. Approval of the use of MKDELTA materials

is now accomplished within the chain of command of the DD/P. The DD/P may consult, for example, with
the Chief, Medical Staff, concerning medical risks involved in MKDELTA operations, but the latter surely
would not expect to exercise final authority for the disapproval of operations.
26. TSD has found that TDY visits of MKULTRA officers to the field in support of specific operations
increases the awareness of the MKDELTA capability and stimulates proposals for additional projects. Of
equal significance, however, has been the TSD decision in 1961 to station in the
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx officer who is informed on MKDELTA matters. A second
officer is scheduled to move PCS to xxxxxxx during the summer of 1963 to support xx and adjacent stations.
While the principal responsibility of these officers lies in the field xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the
arrangement in the xxxxxxxxx has proved useful in the MKDELTA field -- notably in interrogation -- as well.
It now appears that increased reliance can be placed on this approach to promoting responsible use of the
MKDELTA capabilities.
27. Negative attitudes toward the use of MKDELTA materials; problems in the training of case officers in this
field:
The Gottlieb report observed that some case officers have basic moral objections to the concept of
MKDELTA and therefore refuse to use the materials. Some senior officers were reported to believe that the
proper employment of the capability required more sophistication than most case officers possessed and that
there would be a tendency toward over-reliance on and misuse of drugs in lieu of perfecting classic espionage
techniques. Finally, it was suggested that MKDELTA controls were so restrictive as to have generated a
general defeatism among case officers concerning the chances of getting approval for the use of materials in
routine rather than extreme situations. These matters will be reviewed in future field inspections of DD/P area
divisions. In the meanwhile, the stationing of qualified TSD consultants in the field and increasing operational
experience will tend to develop over time a category of case officers who have acquired direct appreciation
of the potential and limitations of MKDELTA capability.
28. The risk of stimulating increase use of MKDELTA materials by opposition intelligence services:
The Gottlieb report stated that opposition intelligence services are active in the MKDELTA field and
recommended that the CI Staff of the DD/P conduct a systematic study of the evidence. This
recommendation has not been implemented. It is a subject of increasing significance as new materials and
techniques become available.
It is recommend that:
Deputy Director/Plans instruct Chief, CI Staff, to perform a study of the evidence of the use of MKDELTA
materials by opposition intelligence services and recommend appropriate measures for training DD/P case
officers to recognize and counter hostile activity in this area.
29. In summary, present evidence concerning the operational value of MKDELTA capability would appear to
confirm the principal judgments of the 1960 Gottlieb report. There is an extremely low rate of operational use
of the controlled materials. On the other hand, significant progress has been achieved in the development of
an interrogation theory employing chemical substances, and in providing competent guidance to the field in
MKDELTA matters through TSD officers working overseas.
IV. Management of MKULTRA
30. TSD has initiated 144 projects relating to the control of human behavior; i.e,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx during the ten years of operation of the MKULTRA
program. Twenty-five (25) of these projects remain in existence at the present time, while a number of others

are in various stages of termination.
31. Active projects may be groups under the following arbitrary headings. Many projects involve activity in
two or more of the areas listed.
a. basic research in materials and processes
b. procurement of research materials
c. testing of substances on animals and human beings
d. development of delivery techniques
e. projects in offensive/defensive BW, CW, and radiation
f. miscellaneous projects; e.g., (1) petroleum sabotage, (2) defoliants, (3) devices for remote
measurement of physiological processes
32. The current management of TSD has initiated a policy of directing the activities of MKULTRA and of the
Behavioral Activities Branch towards operations and away from long-range research. Prior to this change in
policy which occurred in 1962, MKULTRA sponsored a large number of projects in the fields of applied
psychology, sociology, anthropology, and graphology. The present management is unlikely to return to these
fields of research under the MKULTRA charter. The inspectors concluded that many of these projects were
of insufficient sensitivity to justify waiver of normal Agency control procedures. It is recommended at the end
of this report that projects falling outside the authorized scope of MKULTRA henceforth require the prior
written approval of the DD/P to qualify for MKULTRA processing.
33. The TSD chain of command for administration of the MKULTRA program comprises the following:
a. Chief, TSD providing overall management
b. Deputy Chief, TSD, (a trained scientist) providing top substantive guidance for the
MKULTRA program
c. Assistant Chief, TSD, for Research and Development, contributing management but not
substantive guidance
d. Chief Scientist (reporting to c., above), (a trained scientist), contributing substantive guidance
in some areas and responsible for the technical administrative processes of MKULTRA. He is
supported by a GS-12 budget officer.
e. program manager for MKULTRA, also serves as Chief of Biology Branch, (a trained scientist)
f. project monitors located in various branches of TSD and specialized in the subject fields of the
specific projects for which they are assigned responsibility
To date this chain of command has relied primarily on oral communications in the management of
MKULTRA. Files are notably incomplete, poorly organized, and lacking in evaluative statements that might
give perspective to management policies over time. A substantial portion of the MKULTRA record appears to
rest in the memories of the principal officers and is therefore almost certain to be lost with their departures.
The senior officers in the MKULTRA chain of command who are not substantively qualified need better
records to measure the validity of projects through time and to identify key area in which to require detailed
periodic briefings from working specialists.

34. It will be noted that the Chief of Support, TSD, does not participate in the MKULTRA administration. The
predecessor of the present Chief of Support served in TSD throughout the life of the program until 1962
without ever being associated with the management. In his stead, the Chief Scientist and a GS-12 budget
officer have provided administrative support. The Chief Scientist has set policy on the funding of MKULTRA
projects in all respects including salaries, overhead rates, fees, material, equipment, facilities, travel and the
like. The support officer was only added in 1962 under pressure of critical audit findings. This use of the
Chief Scientist in a field where Chief of Support possesses superior qualifications and facilities constitutes a
misuse of talent. The proposed new charter for MKULTRA should take account of this anomaly and also
provide that Chief of Support advise in the future on decisions to fund projects under the MKULTRA
authority and thereby to waive the application of DD/S procedures.
It is recommended that:
Deputy Director/Plans draft and submit for the approval of the Director of Central Intelligence a revision and
re-confirmation of the authority granted him in 1953 (Tab A) to operate the MKULTRA program,
incorporating the following provisions:
a. Deputy Director/Plans assign Chief, Technical Services Division, to operate MKULTRA as a
program for research and development of chemical, biological, and radioactive materials, and of
techniques for the employment of electro-shock, capable of producing human behavioral or
physiological change. Subsequent changes in scope of MKULTRA shall require the written
approval of the Deputy Director/Plans.
b. Deputy Director/Plans arrange with Deputy Director/Research for the coordination of research
relating to MKULTRA objectives to control duplication of effort and to provide for exchange of
information of new capabilities.
c. Chief, Technical Services Division, consistent with established policy, may negotiate for
research in MKULTRA materials and techniques to be conducted by Deputy Director/Research

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Two Extremely Sensitive Research Programs
1. Approximately 6% of the TSS research and development effort lies in two highly sensitive fields in which it
is not possible to conduct the work through the customary contracts for security reason and other
considerations.
2. These two sensitive fields are:
a) Covert studies of biological and chemical warfare
b) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3. Permission of the DCI is requested to handle work in these two fields in the manner outlined in Tab A
without contracts and with reimbursement to be made against invoices properly certified by TSS.
4. All controls established in the PRC approval of the original Research Program (other than signing a
contract) would remain unchanged. Periodic financial and progress reports will be made. All documents will
be retained by TSS.
5. No new funds are involved. This procedure would apply to funds xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx previously
approved for research.
6. Tab B is a memorandum to the Deputy Director (Administration) for your signature authorizing this
procedure.

PROJECT MKULTRA
Extremely Sensitive Research and Development Programs
1. On 5 June 1952, the Project Review Committee approved the TSS Research Program for Fiscal Year 1953.
[Three lines redacted]
2. The PRC approval authorized the Director of Research, at his discretion and with the approval of the
Research Chairman, to apportion and obligate the research funds among individual projects, such projects to
be subject to the usual Agency procedures and administrative controls.
3. This Research Program has been actively underway since the middle of 1952 and has gathered
considerable momentum during the past few months. It is now evident on the basis of work currently
underway that approximately 94% of the projects contemplated can be handled through regular procurement
channels by means of customary contracts signed jointly by the Agency and the organization undertaking to
carry out the work. It has also become apparent that approximately 6% of the projects are of such ultrasensitive nature that they cannot and should not be handled by means of contracts which would associate CIA
or the Government with the work in question. This 6% of the current research effort now lies entirely within
two well-defined fields of endeavor, namely:
(a) Research to develop a capability in the covert use of biological and chemical materials. This area involves
the production of various physiological conditions which could support present or future clandestine
operational. Aside from offensive potential, the development of a comprehensive capability in this field of
covert chemical and biological warfare gives us a thorough knowledge of the enemy's theoretical potential,
thus enabling us to defend ourselves against a foe who might not be as restrained in the use of these
techniques as we are. For example: we intend to investigate the development of a chemical material which

causes a reversible non-toxic aberrant mental state, the specific nature of which can be reasonably well
predicted for each individual. this material could potentially aid in discrediting individuals, eliciting
information, implanting suggestion and other forms of mental control.
b) [10 lines redacted]
4. It is highly undesirable from a policy and security point of view that contracts should be signed indicating
Agency or government interest in either of these two fields. In a great many instances the work in field (a)
must be conducted by individuals who are not and should not be aware of our interest. In all cases dealing
with field (b), it is mandatory that any connection with the Agency should be known only to an absolute
minimum number of people who have been specifically cleared for this purpose. In no case should any
manufacturer or supplier be aware of Government interest.
5. In many cases in field (a) where the researcher can be cleared and may be aware of our interest in the
program, he is unwilling to have his name on a contract which remains out of his control in his files.
Experience has shown that qualified, competent individuals in the field of pharmacological, physiological,
psychiatric and other biological sciences are most reluctant to enter into signed agreements of any sort which
connect them with this activity since such a connection would jeopardize their professional reputations.
6. Even internally in CIA, as few individuals as possible should be aware of our interest in these fields and of
the identity of those who are working for us. At present this results in ridiculous contracts, often with
cut-outs, which do not spell out the scope or intent of the work and which contain terms which the cut-out
cannot incorporate in his contract with the researcher without revealing Government interest. Complete
Government audits of such contracts are impossible for the same reason.
7. It is, therefore, requested that the DCI authorize TSS to handle 6% xxxxxxxx of the previously approved
research budget for FY '53 without the establishment of formal contractual relations. This program will be
known as Project MKULTRA.
8. It is suggested that payment of invoices under Project MKULTRA forwarded by TSS be authorized,
provided that:
(a) the total of such invoices does not exceed

6% for Fiscal Year 1953;

(b) the invoices carry a certification by the TSS Research Director that payment of funds is
authorized and that the invoices represent work accomplished within the program approved by
the DCI under Project MKULTRA as outlined in this memorandum;
(c) the invoices carry the certification of the Executive Secretary of the Research Board that the
scope of the program has been approved;
(d) the invoices carry the certification of the cognizant TSS Division Chief that the work has been
satisfactory from a technical point of view.
9. It should be emphasized that this authorization does not involve any new allocation of funds, but merely
applies to a portion of a previously approved budget. The TSS certifications mentioned above will mean that:
(a) the project is being handled under the conditions set forth in this description and specifically
falls within one of the two ultra-sensitive field mentioned above;
(b) the project has been approved in the manner provided for in the PRC document which
originally set up and approved the over-all TSS Research Program. Each project will thus have
been presented by the Chief of the Division monitoring the work to the Research Director and to

(d) in the case of each project, TSS will reach an understanding with the individuals who will
perform the work as to the conditions under which the work will be performed and
reimbursement arranged. No standard contract will be signed. In some cases when possible, a
memorandum of agreement will be signed and retained in the TSS files. Under no circumstances
would copies of such agreements leave TSS files where they will be kept available for inspection;

requested by TSS and retained in TSS files in support of the invoice, where they will at all times
be available for inspection. They will not be forwarded with the invoices. Such documents at best
will cover only a portion of the total expenditures, and regular audit procedures will not be

(g) other provisions and controls over the Research Program specified in the original PRC
approval will remain unaltered. Technical progress under the separate projects handled under
Project MKULTRA will be included whenever necessary in the regular progress reports now
submitted by the Director of Research. The monthly budget and financial report being submitted
by TSS to DD/A will include full financial information on these projects, including how much of

20. The establishment and approval of Project MKULTRA will allow TSS to undertake highly desirable and
necessary research in these two sensitive fields which would not be possible unless the work can be handled
in this manner.

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR


APR 13 1953
MEMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR (ADMINISTRATION)
SUBJECT:Project MKULTRA - Extremely Sensitive Research and Development Program
1. On 6 June 1952, the Project Review Committee approved the DD/P/TSS Research Program
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx for Fiscal Year 1953. [2 lines redacted]
2. The PRC approval authorized the Director of Research, at his discretion and with the approval of the
Research Chairman, to obligate the research funds and apportion them among individual projects, such
projects to be subject to the usual Agency procedures and administrative controls.
3. A small part of the Research Program contemplated by TSS and discussed with me consists of ultrasensitive work. The nature of the research and teh security consideration involved preclude handling the
projects by means of the usual contractual arrangements.
4. I have, therefore, approved the obligation and expenditure by TSS of 6%
of the total budget
already approved by the PRC for research for FY '53 without the signing of the usual contracts or other
written agreements.
5. This 6%
will be handled as Project MKULTRA. Would you please make the necessary
arrangements so that invoices forwarded by TSS applying to MKULTRA will be paid, provided that:
a) in the aggregate, they do not exceed
me;

6%

for FY '53 without further authorization from

b) each invoice bear a certification by the Chief, DD/P/TSS, as the Research Director, that the
invoice applies to Project MKULTRA and that the conditions outlined in the DD/P memorandum
for DCI dated 3 April have been complied with. The certification will also request that payment
be made;
c) the invoice shall bear the certification of the Executive Secretary of the Research Board that
the scope of the program has been approved;
d) the invoice shall bear the certification of the cognizant TSS Division Chief that the work has
been satisfactorily performed from a technical point of view and has been carried out in
accordance with the understandings reached between TSS and the individual or concern doing
the work.
6. No further documents will be required to justify payment of the invoices. Exacting control will be
maintained over the Project by TSS. Although no formal contract will be signed, it will occasionally be
possible for TSS to sign an informal agreement with the individual or concern performing the work. In such
cases, TSS will retain in its files all documents. TSS will endeavor wherever possible to obtain documentary
support of invoices, such as cancelled checks, receipted bills, etc., and these will remain in TSS files. Such
documents at best will only cover a portion of the total expenditures, and teh regular audit procedure will not
be followed.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: MKULTRA - Comments of Chief, TSD, on Draft Report of Inspection
1. I called xxxxxxxxxxx to acknowledge receipt of Dr. Gottlieb's comments on John Vance's report of
inspection of MKULTRA, TSD. I said I felt this reply was very helpful in explaining the TSD position on the
most critical points on our IG recommendations, [one line redacted] testing on unwitting subjects, [one line
redacted]. I reminded xxxxxxxxxxx that his rebuttal dealt with only three of the ten specific
recommendations we had made in our IG report. He replied that the balance of these recommendations really
all related to tightening up the administration of the charter and that he personally welcomed the opportunity
to have this spelled out in greater detail. I said I felt that our recommendations went quite beyond the field of
administration and cited in particular the problem of [one line redacted] -- I said this was much more than an
administration problem, and that would like to know what solution he and Dr. Gottlieb proposed to improve
[half-line redacted]. xxxxxxxxxxx tended to dismiss this problem partially on the grounds that it was a
function of a personal relationship between him and who ever might be the DD/R at any given time, and
partially because he didn't think there was any dogmatic or systematic solution.
2. I told xxxxxxxxxxx that we would prefer not to submit our MKULTRA paper to the DD/P without some
more explicit statement from him on the problem of [one-half line redacted] and that we also felt Dr.

Gottlieb's three page endorsement failed to comment on our detailed proposals for tightening up the
administration of MKULTRA activities. Mr. xxxxxxxxxxx appreciated this but felt that they had registered
their views on the most important points at issue, and they urged us at this state to go ahead and submit our
report with the Gottlieb endorsement as it now stands to the DD/P.
3. Recommendation: I think we have little to gain by massaging this report any further and recommend that
we submit it to the DD/P with a request for his specific comments on our recommendations. I recommend
that we redraft the last recommendation on the audit function in accordance with the proposal of
xxxxxxxxxxx .

29 November 1963
MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: MKULTRA PROGRAM
1. A meeting was held in General Carter's office on 29 November 1963 to discuss the subject program. Those
present, in addition to General Carter, were Messrs. Helms, Kirkpatrick, xxxxxxxx, Gottlieb and Earman. The
main thrust of the discussion was the testing of certain drugs on unwitting U.S. citizens. Dr. Gottlieb gave a
brief history of the MKULTRA program which was not in any way at variance with the IG report of August
1963 on this subject.
2. Messrs. Gottlieb and xxxxxxxx argued for the continuation of unwitting testing, using as the principal point
that controlled testing cannot be depended upon for accurate results. General Carter, Mr. Kirkpatrick, and I
do not disagree with this point. We also accept the necessity for having a "stable of drugs" on the shelf and
the requirement for continued research and development of drugs -- not only for possible operational use but
also to give CIA insight on the state of the art in this field and in particular to alert us to what the opposition is
or might be expected to do in the R&D and employment of drugs.
3. xxxxxxxxxx noted that there was no disagreement with the recommendations of the IG survey on
MKULTRA with the exception of the unwitting testing problem. In response to a query from General Carter,
he stated that since the IG report such testing has been held in abeyance.
4. General Carter made it clear that he understood the necessity for research and development of all types of
drugs, to include their testing. However, he was troubled ty the "unwitting aspect". This led to a brief
discussion on the possibility of unwitting tests on foreign nationals, but according to xxxxxxxx this had been
ruled out as a result of several conversations he recently had with senior chiefs of stations -- too dangerous
and the lack of controlled facilities. (This seemed an odd conclusion to me since the same dangers exist in the
U.S. and from what we were able to find out during our survey, the facilities we have for uncontrolled testing
leave much to be desired -- I made a point of this.)
5. After further discussion, it was agreed:

a. That the charter of MKULTRA would be revised along the lines recommended in the IG
Survey.
b. The procedures for testing drugs are to be reviewed and new alternative proposals submitted.
c. If it is concluded by the DD/P that unwitting testing on American citizens must be continued to
operationally prove out these drugs, it may become necessary to place this problem before the
Director for a decision.

the unwitting testing, but stated if the charter is rewritten along the lines recommended, I believe these
problems would be corrected.

March 1960-August 1960: CIA Consider Plan to Sabotage Castro


Speeches

The CIAs Technical Services Division (TSD) considers plans to undermine Fidel
Castros charismatic appeal by sabotaging his speeches. At one point, there is
discussion of spraying Castros broadcasting studio with a hallucinogenic
chemical. The plan is taken of the shelf because the chemical is deemed
unreliable. During this period, the TSD laces a box of cigars with a chemical
that would produce temporary disorientation, hoping that he will smoke one
of the cigars before giving a speech. In another instance, the TSD comes up
with a scheme to dust Castros shoes with thallium salts during a trip outside
of Cuba. The salts would cause his beard to fall out. The plan is abandoned
when Castro cancels the trip. [US CONGRESS, 12/18/1975]

August 1960-February 1963: CIA Plans to Poison Cuban Leaders

The CIA plans an operation to poison Fidel Castro, as well as his brother Raul
and Che Chevarra, with pills containing botulinum toxin. The plan drags on for
more than two years, but is ultimately aborted. [US CONGRESS, 12/18/1975; CENTRAL

Early 1963: CIA Plans to Assassinate Castro with Exploding Sea


Shell and Poisoned Diving Suit

The CIAs Task Force W devises two plans to assassinate Fidel Castro. The first
one, involving an exploding sea shell that would be placed where Castro
regularly dives, is dismissed by the CIAs Technical Services Division (TSD) as
impractical. In the second plan, James Donovan (who has been negotiating
with Castro for the release of prisoners taken during the Bay of Pigs
operation) would present Castro with a contaminated diving suit. TSD decides
to give the plan a try. It purchases a diving suit and laces its breathing
apparatus with tubercule bacillus. The suit itself is dusted with a fungus that
is known to cause a chronic skin disease. But the suit never leaves the
laboratory. [US CONGRESS, 12/18/1975; CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY INSPECTOR GENERAL,

ON HUMANRIGHTS

Stanley J Caterbone

Lancaster, PA 17603

Dear Mr.cetertonerrWe would like to thank you for sending your psychiatric abuse report to the Citizens
Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR). After reviewing your information, it is
evident that you experienced many psychiatric abuses. However, it has been determined that
CCHR is unable to take any action on the information.
Unless you request otherwise, your confidential information will remain on file with CCHR and
could potentially be used in the future. For instance, because we receive hundreds of abuse
reports each year, it is possible that other people might file reports on the same practitioner or
facility. CCHR can use such data to show a pattern of abuse.
Please understand that CCHR is not a law enforcement or legal agency in any way. We are
not an attorney referral service, cannot bring lawsuits against individuals and do not have law
enforcement powers.

ClTIZENS COMMISSION
ON HUMAN RIGHTS
The Citizens Commission on Human
Rights (CCHR) was established in 1969 by
the Church of Scientology to investigate
and expose psychiatric violations of human
rights, and to clean up the field of mental
healing. Its co-founder is Dr. Thomas
Szasz, professor of psychiatry emeritus and
an internationally renowned author. Today,
CCHR has more than 130 chapters in over
30 countries. Its board of advisors, called
Commissioners, includes doctors, lawyers,
educators, artists, business professionals,
and civil and human rights representatives.

CCHR has inspired and caused many


hundreds of reforms by testifying before
legislative hearings and conducting public
hearings into psychiatric abuse, as well as
working with media, law enforcement and
public officials the world over.

Derrick, I sent the following to Jay Ingram of the Lancaster Film Commission. Jay moved here
from Los Angeles some years ago after working in Hollywood and LA in the movie business. I had met
Jay a few years ago. He was interested in working with me on opening the Theater at Hotel
Brunswick. He was going to look for an investor so he could show local independent films that he and
the Lancaster Film Commission were working on, and to host an Independent Film Festival. I'll try to
call him today and set up a meeting.

Jay, do you think you could help me find someone? In case you haven't followed, the Hotel Brunswick
has been shut down now for months, it is a good thing we were stalled in our efforts for the
development of the Theater at Hotel Brunswick. I'll give you a call to see if you have some time for
me.

Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Stan J. Caterbone and Advanced Media Group have been selected for the
Outreach Committee of the Freedom From Covert Harassment and Surveillance Organization, or
FFCHS in order to " to seek out high-profile people to support our cause" according the Executive
Director Derrick Robinson. FFCHS is an international organization formed to "Seeking Freedom and
Justice worldwide for those targeted with organized stalking and electronic torture" according
to it's website. As stated on it's website FREEDOM FROM COVERT HARASSMENT AND
SURVEILLANCE (FFCHS) was formed to address these atrocities and seek justice for those who are
victims of harassment group activities which stem from corrupt elements of the US military intelligence
and the US investigative agencies, certain defense contractors, corporations, as well as individuals and
teams of private citizens.
The CIA MKULTRA hearings which were held in the 70's revealed the existence of secret mind control
experimentation programs being conducted by the government. After the hearings, the CIA officially
abandoned these programs. However, many are reporting a variety of effects and abuses consistent
with the findings of the Church Committee investigation regarding the privacy abuses conducted by the
CIA, FBI, and NSA at that time. And nowadays, because of the secrecy and lack of congressional
oversight during the intervening decades, the research and development of mind control and

Ex-Bush officials face lawsuits over their actions


By MARK SHERMAN (AP) 2 days ago
WASHINGTON High-ranking government officials are usually protected from claims that they
violated a person's civil rights. In lawsuits stemming from law enforcement and intelligence
efforts after the Sept. 11 attacks, three federal courts have left open the possibility that former
Attorney General John Ashcroft and a lieutenant may be held personally liable.

Photo 1 of 3

In two cases, judges appointed by Republican presidents have refused at an early stage to
dismiss lawsuits that were filed against Ashcroft and former Justice Department official John
Yoo. One complaint challenges Ashcroft's strategy of preventive detention. The other seeks to
hold Yoo accountable for legal memos he wrote supporting detention, interrogation and
presidential power.
In a third case, the full federal appeals court in New York is reconsidering an earlier decision by
three of its members to toss out a lawsuit by a man who was changing planes in the United
States when he was mistaken for a terrorist and sent to Syria, where he claims he was
tortured.
Senior officials are accustomed to having their actions in office judged by history, not the
courts. Exposing them to legal risk might complicate recruitment as top prospects shun
positions that could land them in personal trouble. It also could make officials think twice about
aggressive use of executive authority.
The cases have been uncomfortable for the Obama administration, which inherited the task of
representing Ashcroft and Yoo from the Bush administration, even though President Barack
Obama opposed some of the homeland-security practices under his predecessor. As well, both
the Obama and Bush administrations renounced some of Yoo's legal positions.
Among the Yoo memos retracted was his Oct. 23, 2001, opinion that the Fourth Amendment's
protections against unreasonable searches did not apply to domestic military operations aimed
at terror suspects so soldiers could enter and search homes without warrants in pursuit of
terrorists.

The Obama administration has yet to spell out its views on when people may be detained
because of suspected terrorism links but without evidence of criminal activity.
No attorney general has ever been held personally liable for official actions, said Yeshiva
University law professor Alexander Reinert, who represents another post-9/11 detainee who is
suing Ashcroft. Other federal officials, particularly at a lower level, have been held personally
liable for their actions. It's just very rare.
Supreme Court rulings allow high-ranking officials to be held liable but set a high bar: An official
must be tied directly to a violation of constitutional rights and must have clearly understood the
action crossed that line.
Even when officials are held personally liable, their agencies still may agree to pay damages
assessed against them unless there is blatant wrongdoing, like clear racial prejudice. And
for many plaintiffs, the chance to saddle a top official with the shame of a court's condemnation
is more important than collecting cash from the officeholder.

Map

Critics of George W. Bush's administration see the recent actions of the courts as a chance to
wring a measure of accountability from the Bush White House at a time when Obama
expresses reluctance to look backward and Congress has shown little appetite for investigating
the past.
"It shows a willingness on the part of the courts to hold those who authorized illegal action
responsible, not only those who carry it out," said David Cole, a constitutional law professor at
Georgetown University.
But Ashcroft's former chief spokesman, Mark Corallo, said there is good reason to protect
officials from damages for actions they take in the course of their duties.
"People are not going to want to serve in government if they have to hire a battery of lawyers
the minute they take their oath of office," Corallo said.
Most lawsuits seeking personal liability of officials are dismissed early. Either a plaintiff hasn't
made a strong enough case or a judge finds the officeholder can't be held liable for those
official actions.
In these three cases, however, judges have considered arguments from both sides and still
allowed the lawsuits to proceed or, in the case of the man sent to Syria, are weighing the
arguments now.
"This is frustrating for judges," said Orin Kerr, a constitutional law professor at George
Washington University. "The law is not that clear and it's hard to get rulings that clarify it."
But Kerr said the Ashcroft case has enough important elements that it could be reviewed by the
Supreme Court, where a ruling might clarify the law.
First, though, the Justice Department has to decide whether to appeal an early September
ruling by a panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The appeals court said a Muslim U.S. citizen could pursue his lawsuit to hold Ashcroft
personally liable for his arrest in 2003

EXCLUSIVE: CIA Experiments on U.S. Soldiers Linked to Torture


Program
Posted By Jeffrey Kaye On September 9, 2009 @ 5:00 am In Torture | 7 Comments

Editors note: Click here to listen to Jeffrey Kaye discuss his groundbreaking report with radio talk
show host Peter B. Collins.
A number of new articles have been published recently that have highlighted evidence of illegal
human experimentation on U.S.-held terrorism prisoners undergoing torture. These articles
followed the release of a white paper by Physicians for Human Rights [PHR], Aiding Torture: Health
Professionals Ethics and Human Rights Violations Demonstrated in the May 2004 Inspector Generals
Report.
This report looks at those recent charges, and reveals that experiments by a CIA researcher on
human subjects undergoing SERE training went unreported in the legal memos the Bush
administration drafted to approve their torture program. It will also connect major military and
intelligence figures to the SERE experiments, and tie some of them to major science and
experimental directorates at the CIA and Special Operations Command.
An article by veteran journalist William Fisher, looking at PHRs white paper, asks, Did physicians
and psychologists help the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency develop a new research protocol to
assess and refine the use of waterboarding or other harsh interrogation techniques?
A column at Scientific American quotes PHRs medical advisor on the subject:
[PHR] also raises questions about the ethics of medical note-taking during some of the
interrogations. Medical doctors and psychologists colluded with the CIA to keep
observational records about waterboarding, which approaches unethical and unlawful
human experimentation, Scott Allen, lead study author and PHR medical advisor, said
in a prepared statement.
Finally, a story in Wednesdays UK Guardian discussed the significance of the charges of unlawful
human experimention:
Human experimentation without consent has been prohibited in any setting since 1947,
when the Nuremberg Code, which resulted from the prosecution of Nazi doctors, set
down 10 sacrosanct principles. The code states that voluntary consent of subjects is
essential and that all unnecessary physical and mental suffering should be avoided.

The Geneva conventions also ban medical experiments on prisoners and prisoners of
war, which they describe as grave breaches.
After describing how [h]ealth professionals in the Office of Medical Services and psychologist
contractors engaged in designing and monitoring torture, as selecting and then rationalizing the
use of various harmful interrogation techniques, the PHR report goes on to say:
By requirement, all interrogations were monitored in real-time by health professionals.
Previous reports, including the ICRC report, document allegations that a medical device
called a pulse oximeter (a device to measure oxygen saturation in a subjects blood)
was placed on the finger of a detainee to monitor the effectiveness of his respiration
during waterboarding. In this way, medical professionals were used to calibrate physical
and mental pain and suffering.
The possibility that health professionals monitored techniques to assess and improve
their effectiveness, constituting possible unethical human experimentation, urgently
needs to be thoroughly investigated.
An Experimental Battle Lab
The CIAs Office of Medical Services was supposed to be in charge of monitoring detainee health
under interrogation. However their instructions, described in an annex to the CIA Inspector General
report, exemplifies the dual nature of the monitoring, as this example from the report shows:
If there is any possibility that ambient temperatures are below the thermoneutral
range, they should be monitored and the actual temperatures documented. [2 or 3
redacted lines]
At ambient temperatures below 18 [degrees]C/64 [degrees]F, detainees should be
monitored for the development of hypothermia. [Four redacted paragraphs]
Rather than make changes to ambient temperatures, to prevent harm to prisoners, medical
professionals are instructed to monitor and document the situation. The torture techniques used by
SERE are known to cause endocrine and metabolic disorders (see section on CIA research below),
prisoners tortured and subjected to cold are at higher risk of hypothermia, which for a normal person
can set in at an ambient temperature of 60 degrees F. The monitoring in this case seems to be as
much about experimentation as it is any concern for a prisoners health. (For what other possible
reason could this section be mostly redacted?) Parallels to the experiments on hypothermia by Nazi
scientists at Dachau are chilling, as is the fact that some of these scientists were later imported,
along with their data, to the United States.
Questions were raised around possible human experimentation in an article last May at Firedoglake
on The Zubaydah Torture Experiment, noting, Of the many fascinating details coming out of [the
May 2009 Senate] Judiciary hearing the references to the application of an experiment by the
ex-SERE CIA contractor, most likely James Mitchell, seemed especially important.
The experimentation was not limited to high-value CIA prisoners. Last April, another article at
Firedoglake reported how the Senate Armed Services Committee report (PDF) on prisoner abuse
described the creation of an experimental battle lab at Guantanamo, demonstrating support for the
torture program from the main Army intelligence school at Ft. Huachuca.
According to the Levin report, in August 2002, COL John P. Custer, then-assistant
commandant of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona
conducted a review of interrogations operations at Guantanamo. Custer called
Guantanamo Americas Battle Lab in the war on terror, and recommended combining
FBI and military techniques to extract information by exploiting the detainees
vulnerabilities. The Battle Lab label stuck, though some, like Colonel Britt Mallow, of
the Criminal Investigative Task Force, objected.
MG Dunlavey and later MG Miller referred to GTMO as a Battle Lab meaning that
interrogations and other procedures there were to some degree experimental, and their
lessons would benefit DOD in other places. While this was logical in terms of learning
lessons, I personally objected to the implied philosophy that interrogators should
experiment with untested methods, particularly those in which they were not trained.
Later, Dunlavey denied using the term, and Miller testified he couldnt remember.

The experiments on the effects of SERE-torture techniques began even earlier upon SERE trainees
themselves. An April 2009 AlterNet article reported on the history of experimentation on soldier
subjects undergoing SERE training. (SERE is a military program, the acronym standing for Survival,
Evasion, Resistance, Escape.) The article explained how the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) and the
CIA ignored a wealth of other published information about the effects of SERE stress inoculation,
citing a June 2000 article, Assessment of Humans Experiencing Uncontrollable Stress: The SERE
Course, in Special Warfare (PDF). Special Warfare is The Professional Bulletin of the John F.
Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (emphases added to following quote):
Results
As shown in the charts on page 7, SERE stress caused significant changes in students
hormone levels. Recorded changes in cortisol levels were some of the greatest
ever documented in humans. In some cases, the changes noted among the
trainees were greater than the changes noted in patients undergoing heart
surgery.
Changes in testosterone levels were similarly remarkable: In some cases,
testosterone dropped from normal levels to castration levels within eight
hours.
The Alternet article also quoted from a May 2000 article in Biological Psychiatry, Hormone profiles in
humans experiencing military survival training (emphasis added):
Conclusions: The stress of military survival training produced dramatic alterations in
cortisol, percent free cortisol, testosterone, and thyroid indices. Different types of
stressors had varying effects on the neuroendocrine indices. The degree of
neuroendocrine changes observed may have significant implications for
subsequent responses to stress.
Looking beyond more than physiological symptoms, other studies have looked at purely
psychological data. Consider this oft-quoted study from the August 2001 edition of the American
Journal of Psychiatry, which looked at dissociative symptoms, such as depersonalization,
derealization, psychic or emotional numbing, and general cognitive confusion, produced in military
subjects exposed to SERE torture techniques (emphasis added):
The current study was designed to assess the nature and prevalence of dissociative
symptoms in healthy humans experiencing acute, uncontrollable stress during U.S.
Army survival training. METHOD: In study 1, 94 subjects completed the ClinicianAdministered Dissociative States Scale after exposure to the stress of survival
training. In study 2, 59 subjects completed the Brief Trauma Questionnaire before
acute stress and the dissociative states scale before and after acute stress. A randomly
selected group of subjects in study 2 completed a health problems questionnaire after
acute stress. RESULTS: In study 1, 96% of subjects reported dissociative
symptoms in response to acute stress. Total scores, as well as individual item
scores, on the dissociation scale were significantly lower in Special Forces soldiers
compared to general infantry troops. In study 2, 42% of subjects reported dissociative
symptoms before stress and 96% reported them after acute stress.

practice of torturing prisoners by partially drowning
them.
Other research results include the effects of SERE-style torture upon the immune system and other
biological markers. The findings regarding high levels of cortisol upon subjects was corroborated by a
SERE psychologist at the Navy Brunswick, Maine, SERE school, who according to an unclassified,
undated Talking Paper from the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency found empirical medical data
[of] elevated levels of cortisol in the brain stem caused by stress levels incurred during waterboarding. The Brunswick school subsequently discontinued waterboarding as part of its SERE
training, as it created a negative learning environment. The other Navy SERE school, in North
Island, California, refuses to eliminate exposure to waterboarding as part of its training program,
despite the opposition of JPRA and the other SERE schools, which believe it can induce a learned
helplessness state in students.
SERE Research and the Development of the Torture Program
One of the lead researchers in a number of these studies is Yale psychiatrist Charles A. Morgan, III.
According to one source, Over the past 10 years, Dr. Morgan has served as a Subject Matter Expert
to the US Special Operations Command. But at a June 2004 symposium on The Nature and
Influence of Intuition in Law Enforcement, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice, the
Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI, and the American Psychological Association, Dr. Morgan is listed
as affiliated with Behavioral Science, CIA.
Additionally, in the Information Science Board (ISB) document, Educing Information which was
heavily drawn upon by President Obamas task force on interrogations, for recommendations on the
interrogations issue Dr. Morgan is identified as a member of the 11-person Government Experts
Committee, and listed as affiliated with the Intelligence Technology Innovation Center (ITIC).
According to Intelligence Online, ITIC is a research organization under the CIAs authority, which
answers directly to the CIAs Science and Technology directorate.
The Obama Interrogations Task Force recently made clear they found a lot to value in the ISB study
(emphasis added):
The Task Force concluded that the United States could improve its ability to
interrogate the most dangerous terrorists by forming a specialized interrogation group,
or High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG), that would bring together the most
effective and experienced interrogators and support personnel from across the
Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense and law enforcement. The
creation of the HIG would build upon a proposal developed by the Intelligence
Science Board.
Whatever the fate of the HIG, what is noteworthy here is that the Office of Technical Services (OTS),
which was cited in the recently released 2004 CIA Inspector General report as having vetted the
aggressive SERE interrogation techniques, is, along with the ITIC, also a part of the Science and
Technology directorate. OTS, formerly the Technical Services Division (or Technical Services Staff),
was the branch of the CIA in charge of torture and assassination. It was also in charge of the
experimental mind control and interrogation program known as MKULTRA.
Dr. Morgans online profile states that between 1998 and 2002 he received over $400,000 in research
grants from the Army and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for studies on Psychobiological
Assessment of High Intensity Military Training and Neuro endocrine assessment of Survival School
Training. A 1977 Washington Post expose those were the days of scandalous revelations
surrounding the CIAs MKULTRA program describes CIA use of ONR to funnel funds for secret
experiments in the 1950s and 1960s. The same relationship was also explored during a 1977 Senate
Intelligence Committee hearing. This is not evidence that Morgans research was paid for by the CIA,
but along with his institutional affiliation, it is suggestive of possible CIA involvement.
While it is unknown to what degree the CIA was directly involved in the SERE research (outside of Dr.
Morgans affiliation), Special Operations Command reportedly was a major supporter.

A U.S. soldier undergoing SERE training.


The co-author of the Special Warfare article referenced above, and working with Dr. Morgan on a
number of other SERE research papers looking at physiological and psychological effects of SERE
techniques, was Gary Hazlett, a clinical psychologist with the Psychological Applications Directorate at
U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Moreover, Morgan and Hazlett cited the approval and
support [for their research] of Lieutenant General William Tangney, Major General Kenneth Bowra,
Major General William G. [B]oykin and many others
Maj. Gen. Bowra retired from the military in 2003, after serving as Commanding General of Army
Special Operations Command South, U.S. Southern Command. Following the military, he went to
work as Senior Program Director with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, serving as national laboratory
liaison to U.S. Joint Forces Command, J9 Directorate. Another source states that currently Bowra is
senior mentor/concept developer at USJFCOM J9 for Joint Urban Operations and Homeland Security
experimentation. J9 stands for the Joint Concept Development and Experimentation Directorate
(JCD&E). It leads the development of emerging joint concepts, conducts and enables joint
experimentation, and coordinates DoD JCD&E efforts in order to provide joint capabilities to support
the current and future joint force commander in meeting security challenges.
The possible involvement of USJFCOMs J9 in research upon SERE follows upon the revelation,
discussed above, that CIAs OTS, part of CIAs Science and Technology directorate, was heavily
involved in the implementation of the SERE techniques for use by the CIA. While the use of the term
experimentation appears to have a broad meaning in military usage, beyond that of conducting
scientific experiments, given the charges surrounding human experimentation upon torture victims,
any connections between these secretive experimental directorates and the SERE torture program,
or research upon it, is worrisome.
Maj. Gen. Boykin was the controversial former commander of Special Operations Command at Fort
Bragg, North Carolina, who resigned over statements that indicated he saw the war on terror as a
religious war. At the time he was Special Operations commander at Fort Bragg, according to a recent
New York Times article, SERE psychologist James Mitchell was completing his last military
assignment as psychologist to an elite special operations unit in North Carolina. Boykin previously
served as CIA Deputy Director of Special Activities, and in June 2003, became Deputy
Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence under Donald Rumsfeld right-hand man, Stephen
Cambone.
Lt. Gen. Tangney is yet another former commanding general at Army Special Operations Command.
Also retired from the military, he is currenly Senior Vice President for Intelligence, Security, and
Special Operations, at Future Technologies, Inc., a supplier of, among other things, a welldeveloped global network of experienced intelligence, security and special operations professionals
working with Special Operations, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and other military customers.
While Dr. Morgan appears to be well-connected among the military and intelligence elite, it is
important to remember that there is no reason to conclude that Dr. Morgan or his co-researchers
have ever been involved in torture or experiments meant to be used for torture. (We cannot say the
same for CIA or military medical or psychological personnel, however.) In fact, it is possible that Dr.
Morgans research has led him to oppose coercive interrogation techniques, as his published research
documents the debilitating effects of SERE torture, which utilized against a prisoner could only be
considered cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment, if not torture. (Although, at the 2007 convention
of the American Psychological Association, Dr. Morgan indicated he was against the idea of removing

psychologists from national security interrogations, which was being considered in a motion before
APA at that time.)
A 2007 New York Times article quotes Dr. Morgan:
Many SERE veterans were appalled at the reverse engineering of their methods, said
Charles A. Morgan III, a Yale psychiatrist who has worked closely with SERE trainers for
a decade.
How did something used as an example of what an unethical government would do
become something we do? he asked.
Dr. Morgans comments appear to put him at odds with other members of the CIAs Science and
Technology directorate, particularly those who work for OTS, as well as individuals within the
Pentagon and Special Operations Command, who have been tied to elements of the U.S. torture
program.
The Suppression of Research on SERE in the OLC Memos
What is clear is that the CIA and the Pentagon had plenty of experimental evidence from the
peer-reviewed, published research of Dr. Morgan and his associates (and possibly others), both
before and after 9/11, that SERE techniques had serious, debilitating effects on individuals subjected
to them. As this research is never cited in any of the Office of Legal Counsel memos issued to the
CIA around their torture program, it appears such research was deliberately withheld from
government attorneys as the CIA sought approval for the use of SERE-style torture. Nor was this
obscure research, but had been funded by the government at a minimum of hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and promoted by some of the Pentagons highest generals.
The frenzied search for data on waterboarding, sleep deprivation, isolation, confinement in a small
box, etc., to submit to OLC attorneys making legal determinations on whether proposed
interrogation techniques constituted torture, was a kabuki organized by the CIA. The OLC attorneys
involved John Yoo, Stephen Bradbury, Jay Bybee, and others were witting or unwitting partners
in suppression of CIA research on torture (as future investigations will disclose). Given the
participation of members of the Office of the Vice President, particularly David Addington and Vice
President Cheney himself, in the promulgation of the torture program, and the composition of the
memos, it seems likely they were also involved in the suppression of this material. As a result, the
memos produced authorizing the enhanced interrogation techniques were composed as the result of
fraud and bad faith, the result of a criminal conspiracy to implement illegal torture techniques.
The public response to the recent white paper by Physicians for Human Rights shows there is great
interest in following up on charges of human experimentation upon torture victims of the U.S.
government. The Congress and Department of Justice should move swiftly to initiate full, open
investigations and charges against those involved.

Smoking Gun on CIA Torture Conspiracy? Human Experimentation


Central to EIT Program
Posted By Jeffrey Kaye On September 27, 2009 @ 4:26 pm In Torture | 4 Comments

A close reading of the CIAs Inspector General Report and the Senate Intelligence Committees
narrative on the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) torture memos reveals a more detailed picture of the
CIAs involvement in the construction of those documents.
What emerges is consistent with recent charges of CIA experimentation on prisoners, and of the
overall experimental quality of the torture program itself.
It also points to a crucial piece of analysis by the CIAs Office of Technical Services, a memo which
may or may not include damning medical and psychological evidence of the damaging effects of SERE
techniques, and which the IG report maintains was utilized in substantial part in the drafting of the
August 1, 2002 Bybee memos. If one is looking for a smoking gun in the torture scandal, in my
opinion, one doesnt have to look much further than this.
The quote below is from the April 22, 2009 Senate Intelligence Committee narrative of the Office of
Legal Counsels opinions on the CIAs interrogation program. Please keep in mind as you read the
quote and the added bolded emphasis, that recent documentation has shown that for years the CIA
and Special Operations had researchers studying the effects of SERE training.
Moreover, the research had been published in peer-reviewed journals, in part because the research
was also meant to add to the psychiatric communitys understanding of the mechanisms of
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Some of the research had also been published in the June 2000
edition of Special Warfare, The Professional Bulletin of the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center
and School.
So, keeping this all in mind, consider the following from the Intel Committees narrative (emphasis
added):
According to CIA records, because the CIA believed that Abu Zubaydah was withholding
imminent threat information during the initial interrogation sessions, attorneys from the
CIAs Office of General Counsel met with the Attorney General, the National Security
Adviser, the Deputy National Security adviser, the Legal Adviser to the National Security
Council, and the Counsel to the President in mid-May 2002 to discuss the possible use of
alternative interrogation methods that differed from the traditional methods used by the

U.S. military and intelligence community. At this meeting, the CIA proposed particular
alternative interrogation methods, including waterboarding.
The CIAs Office of General Counsel subsequently asked OLC to prepare an opinion about
the legality of its proposed techniques. To enable OLC to review the legality of the
techniques, the CIA provided OLC with written and oral descriptions of the proposed
techniques. The CIA also provided OLC with information about any medical and
psychological effects of DoDs Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape
(SERE) School, which is a military training program during which military personnel
receive counter-interrogation training.
While the fact that the OLC accepted at face value the CIAs statements regarding the safety or the
effects of the interrogation procedures they were proposing is no surprise to anyone who has read the
torture memos and evidence of the unprofessionalism and bias of the memos authors the
degree to which the conspiracy (by CIA or OLC, or both) to withhold evidence of the real effects of the
Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EITs) by the CIA has never been made more concrete than
now.
To my knowledge, we do not have the specific document wherein the CIA provides the medical and
psychological effects of SERE school. I have been told that this document is still classified. But it
seems possible that the CIA did pass on the details of the research that was available to it, including
the debilitating effects of SERE techniques, which sent stress hormone levels, according to one
research report, some of the greatest ever documented in humans. Another report cited
neuroendocrine changes [that] may have significant implications for subsequent responses to
stress.
One of the authors of these reports, Charles A. Morgan, III, M.D., who has identified himself in
certain settings as a Senior Research Scientist on the CIAs Behavioral Science Staff, has criticized
my coverage of CIA experiments on the psychological and physiological effects of SERE training upon
human subjects. While he could not specify what aspects of this coverage he felt were inaccurate and
misleading, he did insist:
The research conducted by our research team at the National Center for Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder is not, and never has been, conducted for any other purpose than to help
us understand the pathophysiology of stress disorders and we might better help in the
treatment of veterans.
In making his mea culpa, Dr. Morgan never mentions that some of this research was funded (over
$400,000) by the Army and the Office of Naval Research. He doesnt mention his acquaintance with
great people who do military interrogations. He also forgets to cite his book contribution, where he
states (emphasis added):
The SERE training environment affords the military services the opportunity to
collaborate with various other government agencies in exploring old and new
techniques in gathering human intelligence.
Of course, he neither confirms nor denies his affiliation with the CIA, an affiliation which I have traced
to the CIAs Science and Technology directorate, through his association (large PDF) with the
Intelligence Technology Innovation Center, which is a research organization under the CIAs
authority that answers directly to the CIAs Science and Technology directorate.
But most of all, Dr. Morgans arrows fall way short of his target, as I have never accused him of
personal involvement in the reverse-engineering of SERE techniques for use in the torture program.
What is disturbing is his seeming lack of concern over the possiblity that the research he helped
conduct was either used to further experiments upon torture victims in the CIAs clandestine prisons,
or contrariwise, was withheld from Office of Legal Counsel lawyers who relied upon CIA advice
concerning the effects of techniques derived from the SERE schools.
What is indisputable is that by virtue of his position, Dr. Morgan had access to CIA officials just at the
time that another department of the CIA, one to which he is affiliated, was, according to the CIAs
own Office of Inspector General Report (large PDF) involved in vetting the SERE techniques for use in
interrogations. The other department was the Office of Technical Services (OTS), part of the CIAs
Science and Technology Directorate. This, by the way, is the same division that was responsible for
the MKULTRA experiments of the 1950s and 1960s. From the OIG report:
CTC [CIA's Counter-Terrorism Center], with the assistance of the Office of Technical
Service (OTS), proposed certain more coercive physical techniques to use on Abu

Zubaydah.
CIAs OTS obtained data on the use of the proposed EITs and their potential long-term
psychological effects on detainees. OTS input was based in part on information solicited
from a number of psychologists and knowledgeable academics in the area of
psychopathology.
OTS also solicited input from DoD/Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) regarding
techniques used in its SERE training and any subsequent psychological effects on
students. DoD/JPRA concluded no long-term psychological effects resulted from use of
the EITs, including the most taxing technique, the waterboard, on SERE students. The
OTS analysis was used by OGC [DoD's Office of General Counsel] in evaluating the
legality of techniques.
OTSs solicitation of information on SERE from JPRA elicited some sort of feedback from JPRA, which
supposedly told OTS that SERE training caused no long-term effects. The IG Report does not say if
this was in the form of a memo and only speaks of OTSs analysis. In any case, we should not confuse
any OTS analysis with the information provided by JPRA itself to the Office of General Counsel,
which produced a number of memorandum and attachments in late July 2003. Marcy Wheeler has
been analyzing the timing of these JPRA items, including the fact that one of these key documents is
missing.
The CIA IG Report is relating a story whose emphasis differs from that produced in the narrative of
the Senate Armed Services Committee investigation (PDF) into SERE torture. In the latter, JPRA is
the main culprit in providing cover for the supposed safety of using SERE techniques. Yet, in the OIG
account it looks like the CIA used DOD/JRRA as a cover for the safety of techniques that it knew were
in fact harmful from their own analysis of the data. Moreover, it was the OTS analysis that was used
in substantial part as the basis of the August 1, 2002 memo approving the Enhanced
Interrogation Techniques (EITs).
That legal opinion was based, in substantial part, on OTS analysis and the experience
and expertise of non-Agency personnel and academics concerning whether long-term
psychological effects would result from use of the proposed techniques.
Moreover, the CIAs Office of Medical Services was frozen out of the initial analysis of the risk and
benefits of EITs, and not even provided with a copy of the OTS report given to the White House
Office of Legal Counsel. Such compartmentalization of information is indicative of a covert operation,
such as a Special Access Program (SAP). This SAP would have included personnel in CIAs CTC, OTS,
OGC, and Directorate of Operations, also portions of DOD (JPRA and Special Operations Command),
and probably the White Houses OLC, Office of the Vice President, and National Security Council.
It seems highly likely that the CIA report to the OLC on the medical and psychological effects of the
SERE school program, mentioned in the Senate Intelligence Committee narrative quote above, is in
fact the OTS report, which came from the same CIA directorate to which Dr. Morgan belongs. This
does not speak to Morgans foreknowledge of what would be used, nor to the amount of his
involvement. But it does speak to the likelihood that the government research he conducted (with
others) was available and likely used by his associates in the CIA.
To what purpose was this information used? It seems Dr. Morgan has serendipitously given us the
answer himself: exploring old and new techniques in gathering human intelligence. The CIA appears
to have used torture to conduct what Physicians for Human Rights, in a white paper (PDF) recently
published, called possible unethical human experimentation, [which] urgently needs to be thoroughly
investigated. The government should declassify the OTS report, and bring the process of
investigating the CIAs role in the torture conspiracy fully into public purview.

Ex-Bush officials face lawsuits over their actions


By MARK SHERMAN (AP) 2 days ago
WASHINGTON High-ranking government officials are usually protected from claims that they
violated a person's civil rights. In lawsuits stemming from law enforcement and intelligence
efforts after the Sept. 11 attacks, three federal courts have left open the possibility that former
Attorney General John Ashcroft and a lieutenant may be held personally liable.

Photo 1 of 3

In two cases, judges appointed by Republican presidents have refused at an early stage to
dismiss lawsuits that were filed against Ashcroft and former Justice Department official John
Yoo. One complaint challenges Ashcroft's strategy of preventive detention. The other seeks to
hold Yoo accountable for legal memos he wrote supporting detention, interrogation and
presidential power.
In a third case, the full federal appeals court in New York is reconsidering an earlier decision by
three of its members to toss out a lawsuit by a man who was changing planes in the United
States when he was mistaken for a terrorist and sent to Syria, where he claims he was
tortured.
Senior officials are accustomed to having their actions in office judged by history, not the
courts. Exposing them to legal risk might complicate recruitment as top prospects shun
positions that could land them in personal trouble. It also could make officials think twice about
aggressive use of executive authority.
The cases have been uncomfortable for the Obama administration, which inherited the task of
representing Ashcroft and Yoo from the Bush administration, even though President Barack
Obama opposed some of the homeland-security practices under his predecessor. As well, both
the Obama and Bush administrations renounced some of Yoo's legal positions.
Among the Yoo memos retracted was his Oct. 23, 2001, opinion that the Fourth Amendment's
protections against unreasonable searches did not apply to domestic military operations aimed
at terror suspects so soldiers could enter and search homes without warrants in pursuit of
terrorists.

The Obama administration has yet to spell out its views on when people may be detained
because of suspected terrorism links but without evidence of criminal activity.
No attorney general has ever been held personally liable for official actions, said Yeshiva
University law professor Alexander Reinert, who represents another post-9/11 detainee who is
suing Ashcroft. Other federal officials, particularly at a lower level, have been held personally
liable for their actions. It's just very rare.
Supreme Court rulings allow high-ranking officials to be held liable but set a high bar: An official
must be tied directly to a violation of constitutional rights and must have clearly understood the
action crossed that line.
Even when officials are held personally liable, their agencies still may agree to pay damages
assessed against them unless there is blatant wrongdoing, like clear racial prejudice. And
for many plaintiffs, the chance to saddle a top official with the shame of a court's condemnation
is more important than collecting cash from the officeholder.

Map

Critics of George W. Bush's administration see the recent actions of the courts as a chance to
wring a measure of accountability from the Bush White House at a time when Obama
expresses reluctance to look backward and Congress has shown little appetite for investigating
the past.
"It shows a willingness on the part of the courts to hold those who authorized illegal action
responsible, not only those who carry it out," said David Cole, a constitutional law professor at
Georgetown University.
But Ashcroft's former chief spokesman, Mark Corallo, said there is good reason to protect
officials from damages for actions they take in the course of their duties.
"People are not going to want to serve in government if they have to hire a battery of lawyers
the minute they take their oath of office," Corallo said.
Most lawsuits seeking personal liability of officials are dismissed early. Either a plaintiff hasn't
made a strong enough case or a judge finds the officeholder can't be held liable for those
official actions.
In these three cases, however, judges have considered arguments from both sides and still
allowed the lawsuits to proceed or, in the case of the man sent to Syria, are weighing the
arguments now.
"This is frustrating for judges," said Orin Kerr, a constitutional law professor at George
Washington University. "The law is not that clear and it's hard to get rulings that clarify it."
But Kerr said the Ashcroft case has enough important elements that it could be reviewed by the
Supreme Court, where a ruling might clarify the law.
First, though, the Justice Department has to decide whether to appeal an early September
ruling by a panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The appeals court said a Muslim U.S. citizen could pursue his lawsuit to hold Ashcroft
personally liable for his arrest in 2003

Title: U.S. PATENT ISSUED FOR MIND CONTROL THROUGH HAARP TYPE
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES -- CONNECTION TO SCHOOL SHOOTINGS -PART 2
Subtitle: We follow-up our expose' of the convincing pattern of school shootings
according to the map of the United States in NEWS1344, with the revelation that the U.S.
Patent Office granted a patent in October, 1992, to protect the profits of the inventor of the technology
to effect Mind Control over large numbers of peoples at once.
The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is,
and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!
Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones!
Stand by for insights so startling you will never look at the news the same way again.
YOU ARE NOW ON
THE CUTTING EDGE
NEWS BRIEF: "United States Patent 5,159,703, Lowery, October 27, 1992 Silent Subliminal Presentation
System, Inventors: Lowery, Oliver M. Appl. No. 458339 Filed December 28, 1989.
"Abstract: A silent communications system in which nonaural carriers, in the very low or very high audio
frequency range or in the adjacent ultrasonic frequency spectrum, are amplitude or frequency modulated with
the desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for inducement into the brain, typically
through the use of loudspeakers, earphones or piezoelectric transducers. The modulated carriers may be
transmitted directly in real time or may be conveniently recorded and stored on mechanical, magnetic or
optical media for delayed or repeated transmission to the listener."
In the beginning of our Seminar 3 discussion of HAARP technology to control the weather and to use weather
as a weapon against us, we present the United Nations' Treaty prohibiting such warfare and ask the rhetorical
question: If man cannot control the weather and use it as a weapon, why do you need an international treaty
prohibiting such a weapon? Laws on the books in every state in the Union regulating cars prove the existence
of cars; laws on the international books prohibiting weather warfare prove the ability to control the weather
first and the ability to use weather as a weapon secondly.
Likewise, this patent to allow the inventor the exclusive right to create, and market, the technology to use
certain frequencies for "inducement into the brain" prove the technology exists and is being used in one form
or another for Mind Control. We suspect that the Illuminist government of ours currently is able to control
the minds electromagnetically of people whom they have individually programmed, such as is the case in the
school shootings, where the shooters had been previously heavily involved in the occult. However, our
government is also moving full-speed ahead to the point where they can program minds enmasse prior to the
time they want to actually begin controlling minds of entire populations. From the U.S. Patent website we can
see that this inventor references scientific work done as far back as 1962 [Ibid.]. Therefore, we know that
certain segments of science have been working steadily on this project, to control the minds of people.
Certainly, a "silent subliminal presentation system" utilizing electromagnetic radio which no one can see,
hear, or smell would certainly hold the promise of controlling people's minds. Further, if none of the slaves
knew that they were being manipulated, or how they were being manipulated , you have the potential of
people living lives of slavery without realizing they were slaves! How delicious this prospect must be to the
Illuminists who want so desperately to control the entire population of Mother Earth!

CONFIRMATION OF HAARP-TYPE TRANSMISSIONS USED IN SCHOOL SHOOTINGS
When we published NEWS1344, depicting the occult map of the six school shootings and then tied those
shootings in with elevated levels of HAARP, we received some skeptical emails. People just could not, would
not, or did not want, to believe that the human mind could be so manipulated. And, I completely understand
their reluctance to so believe; they did not want the terror of thinking that they could be controlled by leaders
hostile to their well-being. People in the Nazi era similarly reacted to overwhelming evidence that Hitler was
achieving dictatorial power and that he was deadly serious in his published threats [in Mein Kampf ] to
murder Jews, Christians, and others.
In the news group, NewsHawk, we have found corroborating evidence that this type of "Silent Sound"
electromagnetic radio transmissions was culpable in at least one of the school shootings on this Satanic map.
"This could well be going on in other regions of the U.S. as well. In fact, we at NewsHawk believe this is
almost certainly the case and is very likely a factor in the unheard-of, unprecedented spate of mass murders
which have been occurring throughout the U.S. in recent years. Highly respected author Alex Constantine,
one the the preeminent researchers into the covert government's MANY 'mind-control' projects, specifically
told NewsHawk that "Silent Sound" transmissions were directly involved in the Jonesboro, Ark. mass school
shootings in March, 1998." [http://mercury.spaceports.com/~persewen/silent_sound.htm ]
As we demonstrated in our article, above, on the Satanic School Shooting Map, highly elevated HAARP
levels preceded most of the school shootings at least 3 1/2 to 13 hours prior to the beginning of the shootings.
In the couple of shootings where the elevated levels were moderate, they were still elevated over the norm.
Our webmaster viewed dozens of days to see what "normal" HAARP levels were, and discovered that the
norm was for the signal to remain very flat horizontally. Even slight elevations of electromagnetic levels
seemed to be able to produce a killing response in the person previously programmed.
We discovered, earlier this year as we were doing research into school shootings, that the shooters had one
factor in common: they were participating in occult activities. In fact, most of them were so into the occult
that they were feared by the rest of the student population. I have spoken with Christian author, Cisco
Wheeler, who has co-authored several books on Mind Control with Fritz Springmeier, about this situation of
the shooters previously being occultists. Cisco said that these shooters were not only into Satan worship
themselves, but were victims of Generational Witchcraft. This term means that someone on either side of
the family had been practicing witchcraft at some point in their genealogy. Maybe the culprit was Mom or

Bible speaks to this issue when God says: "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them [Satanic idols], nor
serve them [witchcraft]: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon

CURRENT "EXPERIMENTATION" OF HAARP TYPE MIND CONTROL ON US!
In an effort to bring this whole subject a little closer to home, let us continue with this story, quoted above, on
this microwave technology being used for Mind Control. This time, we move from the subject of certain
individuals who might have been programmed [which is frightening enough] to entire populations being
controlled [which is the stuff of horror shows]. http://mercury.spaceports.com/~persewen/silent_sound.htm
"NewsHawk is at this very moment investigating the use of "Silent Sound" transmissions and/or related
EM/RF technology applied as a mass mood/mind control operation in Northern California: apparently
intended to induce (violent) psychosis in targeted subjects. Targeted subjects, in this case, would include
upwards of probably two million human beings!!"
Now let us make sure we get this information straight! Northern Californians, maybe as many as 2,000,000

people, are being silently bombarded with HAARP-type radio transmissions in exactly the same frequency as
all human brains normally function, in an effort to perfect the capability to control the moods and/or minds of
entire subjected populations! If this scenario sounds like Science Fiction, or like Orwell's 1984 , you are right
on target. But, will these signals affect normal, ordinary people? Listen to more of this article:
"Experts we have spoken with believe that such mentally destabilizing signals would, naturally, most strongly
and primarily affect individuals whose grip on mental/emotional equilibrium is less than solid; but
EVERYONE within range of the transmissions would have distinctly negative reactions to some extent or
other." [Emphasis was in the original]
While these "mentally destabilizing signals" would primarily affect people who are on the fringe of mental
stability, everyone will feel somewhat mentally distressed. How many jobs in Northern California have been
lost because people could not function anymore at the consistent level demanded by the employer? How
many marriages have been ruined? How many careers have been ruined? How many teenagers, who are
normally mentally and emotionally stressed anyway as they are going through these trying years, have been
pushed overboard into real emotional or mental disturbance? We shall never know, and the Mass Media will
never report a story like this.
Most people want to believe their elected and unelected officials have their best interests at heart. People
will believe heinous acts by government officials might occur because of negligence, or selfishness, or by
criminal acts; but, no one wants to believe their government officials have a specific agenda designed to
destroy the lives of its citizens. To believe this is to stay up all night, every night, worrying about whether you
might be the next target.
Normal, everyday Germans during the time of Adolf Hitler found themselves in the same quandary. Despite
the fact that Adolf had publicly published Mein Kampf , in which he told the Jews and others he was going to
murder them all, most Jews refused to believe. They found all sorts of excuses to not believe. When the
killing began in earnest, and many non-Jewish Germans came face-to-face with some of the evidence, most of
them refused to even consider the possibility that such murder on such a scale could ever take place. Even
German citizens living in close proximity to the mass murder facilities refused to even believe that the smell
of burning human flesh that was pouring forth from the chimneys 24 hours per day could possibly be human.
They discounted the sightings of countless railcars going to these facilities full of people and leaving
empty. Just before the end of the war, when the Allies broke the story of such atrocities, one German woman
wrote to her friend that "someone should tell Adolf of these terrible things; he surely does not know"!
What is your reaction to these truths being shared with you now? Are you going to be a believer or are you
going to bury your head in the sand deeper and deeper?
THE TIMING OF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA HAARP EXPERIMENTS
When were these experiments being carried out against the unsuspecting tax-paying citizens of Northern
California? Let us return back to this article. "This activity has been ongoing for most of 1999--with a pause
of a couple of months or so during the summer (the perpetrators were obviously busy elsewhere!). These
signals, primarily in the ULF (ultra-low-frequency) and ELF frequency range, have been recorded on a
variety of equipment by several researchers and are in the process of being analyzed. During the many
months these signals have been broadcast, they have been transmitting TWENTY-FOUR hours a day,
EVERY DAY!!" [Emphasis was in the original]
One of the details of these experiments that need to be "analyzed" is the fact that, once a specific frequency
for a certain type of brain function is proven, that frequency of transmission can be recorded on a computer.
NewsHawk explains the science behind this insidious effort. "The purpose of all this high technology is to plot
and display a moving cluster of periodic brainwave signals. The illustration shows an EEG display from a

single individual, taken of left and right hemispheres simultaneously ... By using these computer-enhanced
EEGs, scientists can identify and isolate the brain's low-amplitude 'emotion signature clusters', synthesize
them and store them on another computer. In other words, by studying the subtle characteristic brainwave
patterns that occur when a subject experiences a particular emotion, scientists have been able to identify the
concomitant brainwave pattern and can now duplicate it . These clusters are then placed on the Silent
Sound[TM] carrier frequencies and will silently trigger the occurrence of the same basic emotion in another
human being!" [Ibid]
In layman's language, once these specific frequencies that causes a certain emotion or thought is precisely
identified so exactly that a "fingerprint" of it can be made and stored on a computer, then this "fingerprint"
can be sent out over other types of Mass Media! In other words, the frequency of brain wave that is proven
to cause suicidal thoughts, for example, can be recorded by computer and then subliminally sent out via radio
programs or TV shows! Or, if the government wants to cause huge numbers of people to suddenly go into
depression, or into euphoria, they can emit the recorded signals via radio or TV and reach the entire
population over a period of time!
This capability can even implant specific thoughts or commands into the minds of people. Huge numbers of
people within a population can suddenly receive simultaneous thoughts or commands, causing many numbers
of them to suddenly carry out the command. If the command is to "kill anyone", you suddenly might have
large numbers of unexplained violent assaults by people who have never committed crimes before. Of
course, the application to Biblical prophecy is direct and very serious for citizens living in the End Times.
Listen:
"And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast." [Revelation 13:3] Notice the word, "all" in this sentence. All the peoples of the
world looked upon the Beast [Antichrist] with amazement and awe. The Bible then tells us exactly what "all
" the peoples of the world were saying in unison.
"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying,
Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" [Revelation 13:4]
"All" the peoples of the world will be simultaneously amazed and thrilled by Antichrist. This admiration will
lead "all" the peoples of the world to "worship" the dragon [Satan] and his man, the beast [Antichrist]. As I
have read the volumes of material on the New World Order Plan, I realized that their #1 goal was to
successfully stage their New Age Christ -- Maitreya is his name. Their #1 goal after Maitreya is successfully
staged is to lead all the peoples of the world into a worship of him, a worship of him as God. New Age author,
David Spangler, stated this part of the Plan most succinctly.
"No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No
one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation", David Spangler,Director of
Planetary Initiative, United Nations. [
But, then, Spangler chills the s oul of any Born Again Christian who knows their Bible
generally a nd p rophecy o f R evelation s pecifically. " The lig ht t hat r eveals t o u s t he
presence of the Christ comes from Lucifer. He is the light-giver, he is aptly named the
Morning Star b ecause it is h is lig ht t hat h eralds fo r m an t he d awn o f a g reat
consciousness. He stands as the Great Initiator, the one who hands the soul over to
the Christ." [Ibid]
Did you get that last sentence? Lucifer is the "one who hands the soul over to the Christ" for worship. Wow!
How much more bold and Biblical can you get? The New Age Plan of the New World Order Kingdom of

Antichrist is to so prepare mankind through the workings of Lucifer as the "Great Initiator" so that he can
hand each soul of each person over to Antichrist. Isn't this just what prophecy declares?
"If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same
shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest
day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
[Revelation 14:9-11]
"And the first [Angel] went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore
upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image." [Revelation
16:2]
"And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and
they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their
sores, and repented not of their deeds." [Revelation 16:10-11] We can see here that God considers all people
who have had their souls delivered to The Christ [Antichrist] as being of "his kingdom", and they are all
brought into Divine Judgment.
Conversely, we see the reward God heaps on those who refuse to follow the Antichrist. "... I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped
the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they
lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." [Revelation 20:4]
CONCLUSION
We must conclude that, if Antichrist has the capability to condition entire populations and to trigger the
response they wish on most of the people, the fact that significant numbers of people refuse to give in to this
efficient Mind Control must mean that God is Divinely protecting His own. We see huge numbers of people
being saved in the 7-year Tribulation Period, and we see those people getting specific rewards for just such
resistance. Therefore, God has to be protecting His own people.
At the conclusion of NEWS1344, concerning the occult map of the USA being used in the school shootings,
we presented three Scriptures promising that God does "seal" His own people from Satan. Let us look now at
Psalm 91 for other such reassurances.
Read carefully verses 1 and 2, for the promises God gives below are reserved for someone who carefully and
daily fulfills the conditions in these two verses. These promises are reserved for someone who "dwells" in the
"secret place of the Most High", who depends solely on the power of the Lord for protection.
"Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome [deadly] pestilence." [Verse
3] Notice the firm promise word, "shall", not "might" or "maybe", but "shall".
"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence
that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday." [Verses 5-6] We are instructed
not to be afraid of anything the enemy of our souls -- Satan -- can throw our way, including the most powerful
Illuminist Witchcraft in the world, or their high technology.
"A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only
with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked." A thousand people may fall at our side,
and ten thousand may fall at our right side, but the true believer in Jesus Christ shall not be affected.

God will prevent His people from falling prey to these insidious technological breakthroughs. Make no
mistake about the fact that Satan is revealing these secrets to massive Mind Control just as fast as God allows
him to reveal them. But, this "calamity shall not come near you", God promises.
With King David, "I give myself unto prayer." [Psalm 109:4]
Truly, the sudden advent of population-wide Mind Control in the hands of the Satanic Illuminati is one more
sign of the End of the Age. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your
loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then
help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you
can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been
able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also
a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual
walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive
you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and
personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching
End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of
your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as
if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you
spiritually.
If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can
see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
Finally, we would love to hear from you.

HAARP is often confused with Project HARP, the High Altitude Research Project (a joint project of the
Pentagon and the Canadian Department of National Defense).

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program


(HAARP) is an investigation project jointly funded by the
United States Air Force, the United States Navy, the
University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency[1] (DARPA) which aims to "provide a
research facility to conduct pioneering experiments in
ionospheric phenomena... used to analyze basic ionospheric
properties and to assess the potential for developing
ionospheric enhancement technology for communications
and surveillance purposes."[2] Started in 1993, the project is
proposed to last for a period of twenty years. The system
was designed and built by Advanced Power Technologies
(APTI) and since 2003, by BAE Systems Inc.

High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program Research

The facility currently operates VHF and UHF radar, a


fluxgate magnetometer, a ionospheric digisonde, and an
induction magnetometer alongside the transmitter facilities.

The project site (622330N 1450903W) is north of Gakona, Alaska, just West of the Wrangell-Saint Elias
National Park. An environmental impact statement led to permission for an array of up to 180 antennas to be
erected. The HAARP has been constructed at the previous site of an over-the-horizon radar (OTH) installation.
A large structure, built to house the OTH now houses the HAARP control room, kitchen, and offices. Several
other small structures house various instruments.
The HAARP site has been constructed in three distinct phases (http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/phases.html)
.
The Developmental Prototype (DP) had 18 antenna elements, organized in three columns by six rows. It was
fed with a total of 360 kilowatts (kW) combined transmitter output power. The DP transmitted just enough
power for the most basic of ionospheric testing.
The Filled Developmental Prototype (FDP) had 48 antenna units arrayed in six columns by eight rows, with
960 kW of transmitter power. It was fairly comparable to other ionospheric heating facilities. This was used for
a number of successful scientific experiments and ionospheric exploration campaigns over the years.
The Final IRI (FIRI) will be the final build of the IRI. It has 180 antenna units, organized in 15 columns by 12
rows, yielding a theoretical maximum gain of 31 dB. A total of 3600 kW (3.6 MW) of transmitter power will
feed it. The total ERP (effective radiated power) will be 3,981 MW (96 dBW). As of March 2007, all the
antennas were in place, but the final quota of transmitters had not yet been installed, the final phase was
completed and the antenna array was undergoing testing aimed at fine-tuning its performance to comply with
safety requirements required by regulatory agencies.

The HAARP (http://www.darpa.mil/ucar/programs/haarp.htm) is currently being managed by the Tactical


Technology Office (http://www.darpa.mil/tto/) , which is one of the eight technical offices in DARPA
(http://www.darpa.mil/tto/) , the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) is the primary instrument at HAARP, which is a high-frequency
(HF) transmitter system used to temporarily energize a portion the ionosphere. Study of this modified volume
yields important information for understanding natural ionospheric processes.
During active ionospheric research, the signal generated by the transmitter system is delivered to the antenna
array, transmitted in an upward direction, and is partially absorbed, at an altitude between 100 to 350 km
(depending on operating frequency), in a small volume a few hundred meters thick and a few tens of kilometers
in diameter over the site. The intensity of the HF signal in the ionosphere is less than 3 W/cm, tens of
thousands of times less than the Sun's natural electromagnetic radiation reaching the earth and hundreds of times
less than even the normal random variations in intensity of the Sun's natural ultraviolet (UV) energy which

creates the ionosphere. The small effects that are produced, however, can be observed with the sensitive
scientific instruments installed at the HAARP facility and these observations can provide new information about
the dynamics of plasmas and new insight into the processes of solar-terrestrial interactions. [1]
(http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/tech.html)
Each antenna element[2] (http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/ant3.html) [3] (http://www.haarp.alaska.edu
/haarp/ant2.html) consists of a crossed dipole that can be polarized for linear, ordinary mode (O-mode), or
extraordinary mode (X-mode) transmission and reception. Each part of the two section crossed dipoles are
individually fed from a custom built transmitter, that has been specially designed with very low distortion. The
ERP of the IRI is limited by more than a factor of 10 at its lower operating frequencies. Much of this is due to
higher antenna losses and a less efficient antenna pattern.
HAARP can transmit between 2.8 and 10 MHz. This frequency range lies above the AM radio broadcast band
and well below Citizens' Band frequency allocations. The HAARP is licensed to transmit only in certain
segments of this frequency range, however. When the IRI is transmitting, the bandwidth of the transmitted
signal is 100 kHz or less. The IRI can transmit continuously (CW) or pulses as short as 100 microseconds (s).
CW transmission is generally used for ionospheric modification, while short pulses are frequently repeated, and
the IRI is used as a radar system. Researchers can run experiments that use both modes of transmission,
modifying the ionosphere for a predetermined amount of time, then measuring the decay of modification effects
with pulsed transmissions.
Current facilities
The United States has three ionospheric heating facilities: the HAARP, the HIPAS, near Fairbanks, Alaska, and
(currently offline for modifications) one at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The European Incoherent
Scatter (http://www.eiscat.se/about.html) Scientific Association (EISCAT) operates an ionospheric heating
facility, capable of transmitting over 1 GW [4] (http://www.kurasc.kyoto-u.ac.jp/s-ramp/abstract/s19.txt)
(1,000,000,000 watts) effective radiated power (ERP), near Troms in Norway. Russia has the Sura ionospheric
heating facility, in Vasilsursk near Nizhniy Novgorod, capable of transmitting 190 MW ERP.
A fluxgate magnetometer built by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute is available to chart
variations in the Earth's magnetic field. Rapid and sharp changes may indicate a geomagnetic storm. A digisonde
provides ionospheric profiles, allowing scientists to choose appropriate frequencies for IRI operation. The
HAARP makes current and historic digisonde information available online. An induction magnetometer,
provided by the University of Tokyo, measures the changing geomagnetic field in the ULF (ultra low frequency)
range of 05 Hz.
Another site, operated by military sub-contractor under unknown arrangement between the US and Canadian
government, is located near Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada, at N46 38.649' W53 9.010' There is minimal
or no grid power available at this site, so this may be a passive listening post for the transmissions emitted by
other HAARP sites.

HAARP's main goal is basic science research of the uppermost portion of the atmosphere, known as the
ionosphere. Essentially a transition between the atmosphere and the magnetosphere, the ionosphere is where the
atmosphere is thin enough that the sun's x-rays and UV rays can reach it, but thick enough that there are still
enough molecules present to absorb those rays. Consequently, the ionosphere consists of a rapid increase in
density of free electrons, beginning at ~70 km, reaching a peak at ~300 km, and then falling off again as the

atmosphere disappears entirely by ~1000 km. Various aspects of HAARP can study all of the main layers of the
ionosphere.
The profile of the ionosphere, however, is highly variable, showing minute-to-minute changes, diurnal changes,
seasonal changes, and year-to-year changes. This becomes particularly complicated near the Earth's poles,
where a host of physical processes (like auroral lights) are unlocked by the fact that the alignment of the Earth's
magnetic field is nearly vertical.
On the other hand, the ionosphere is traditionally very difficult to measure. Balloons cannot reach it because the
air is too thin, but satellites cannot orbit there because the air is still too thick. Hence, most experiments on the
ionosphere give only small pieces of information. HAARP approaches the study of the ionosphere by following
in the footsteps of an ionospheric heater called EISCAT near Troms, Norway. There, they pioneered
exploration of the ionosphere by perturbing it with radio waves in the 2-10 MHz range, and studying how the
ionosphere reacts. HAARP performs the same functions but with more power, and a more flexible and agile HF
beam.
Some of the main scientific findings from HAARP include:
1. Generation of very low frequency radio waves by modulated heating of the auroral electrojet, useful
because generating VLF waves ordinarily requires gigantic antennas
2. Production of weak luminous glow (below what you can see with your eye, but measurable) from
absorption of HAARP's signal
3. Production of ultra low frequency waves in the 0.1 Hz range, which are next to impossible to produce any
other way
4. Generation of whistler-mode VLF signals which enter the magnetosphere, and propagate to the other
hemisphere, interacting with Van Allen radiation belt particles along the way
5. VLF remote sensing of the heated ionosphere

Polar mesospheric summer echoes: Polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) have been studied using
the IRI as a powerful radar, as well as with the 28 MHz radar, and the two VHF radars at 49 MHz and
139 MHz. The presence of multiple radars spanning both HF and VHF bands allows scientists to make
comparative measurements that may someday lead to an understanding of the processes that form these
elusive phenomena.

ionosphere. The signal may be pulsed or continuous wave. Then effects of the transmission and any recovery
period will be examined using associated instrumentation, including VHF and UHF radars, HF receivers, and
optical cameras. According to the HAARP team, this will advance the study of basic natural processes that
occur in the ionosphere under the natural but much stronger influence of solar interaction, as well as how the
natural ionosphere affects radio signals. This will enable scientists to develop techniques to mitigate these
effects in order to improve the reliability and/or performance of communication and navigation systems, which
would have a wide range of applications in both the civilian and military sectors.
The project is funded by the Office of Naval Research and jointly managed by the ONR and Air Force Research
Laboratory, with the principal involvement of the University of Alaska. Fourteen other universities and
educational institutions have been involved in the development of the project and its instruments, namely the
University of Alaska, Penn State University (ARL), Boston College, UCLA, Clemson University, Dartmouth
College, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland, College Park, University of
Massachusetts, MIT, Polytechnic Institute of New York University, Stanford University, and the University of
Tulsa. The project's specifications were developed by the universities, which are continuing to play a major role
in the design of future research efforts. There is both military and commercial interest in its outcome, as many
communications and navigation systems depend on signals being reflected from the ionosphere or passing
through the ionosphere to satellites. Thanks to the more penetrating properties of VLF and ELF, advancements
in underwater and underground research and applications are now possible. This may lead to improved methods
for submarine communication and the ability to remotely sense the mineral content of the terrestrial subsurface,
among other things.
The HAARP project offers annual open days to permit the general public to visit the facility, and makes a public
virtue of openness; according to the team, "there are no classified documents pertaining to the HAARP." Each
summer, the HAARP holds a summer-school for visiting students, including foreign nationals, giving them an
opportunity to do research with one of the world's foremost research instruments.

Supporters
Power emitted
The critics' views have been rejected by HAARP's defenders, who have pointed out that the amount of energy
at the project's disposal is minuscule compared to the colossal energies dumped into the atmosphere by solar
radiation and thunderstorms. A University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute scientist has compared the
HAARP to an "immersion heater in the Yukon River."
Since the ionosphere is inherently a chaotically turbulent region, HAARP's defenders state any artificially
induced changes would be "swept clean" within seconds or minutes at the most. Ionospheric heating
experiments performed at the Arecibo Observatory's ionospheric heater and incoherent scatter radar have
shown that after periods of modification (up to an hour), the ionosphere returns to normal within about the same
period of time it had been heated.
For instance, HAARP generates 3.6 megawatts (MW) of power. 3.6 MW is considered a minuscule percentage
of the energy compared to all of the energy constantly injected into the Earth, and the ionosphere, by the sun.

Furthermore, supporters of HAARP argue that its activities have been, since its establishment, extremely open.
All activities are logged and publicly available. Scientists without security clearances, even foreign nationals, are
routinely allowed on site. The HAARP facility regularly hosts open houses, during which time any civilian may
tour the entire facility.
In addition, scientific results obtained with HAARP are routinely published in major research journals (such as
Geophysical Research Letters, or Journal of Geophysical Research), written both by university scientists (both
US and foreign) or by Department of Defense research lab scientists.
Waste
HAARP was constructed at the site of an obsolete over-the-horizon radar facility for reasons of cost reduction.

Critics
Waste
The cost of building the HAARP has exceeded the dollar-adjusted cost of similar facilities around the world.
Weapon
The objectives of the HAARP project became the subject of controversy in the mid-1990s, following claims that
the antennas could be used as a weapon. A small group of American physicists aired complaints in scientific
journals such as Physics and Society[5], charging that the HAARP could be seeking ways to destroy or disable
enemy spacecraft or disrupt communications over large portions of the planet. The physicist critics of the
HAARP have had little complaint about the project's current stage, but have expressed fears that it could in the
future be expanded into an experimental weapon, especially given that its funding comes from the Office of
Naval Research and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
These concerns were amplified by Bernard Eastlund, a physicist who developed some of the concepts behind
the HAARP in the 1980s and proposed using high-frequency radio waves to energize the ionosphere in order to
disable incoming missiles, thus "knocking out" out enemy satellite communications. The US military became
interested in the idea as an alternative to the laser-based Strategic Defense Initiative. However, Eastlund's ideas
were eventually dropped as SDI itself mutated into the more limited National Missile Defense of today. The
contractors selected to build HAARP have denied that any of Eastlund's patents were used in the development
of the project.
After the physicists raised early concerns, the controversy was stoked by local activism. In September 1995, a
book entitled Angels Don't Play This HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology by the former teacher Nick
Begich, Jr., son of the late Congressman Nick Begich (D-AK) and brother of U.S. Senator Mark Begich (D-AK),
claimed that the project in its present stage could be used for "geophysical warfare."
HAARP has been referenced twice by the History Channel series That's Impossible, once in regards to its
supposed weather control capabilities and later for its claimed connection to mind control.
In August 2002, a critical mention of HAARP technology came from the State Duma (parliament) of Russia.
The Duma published a critical report on the HAARP written by the international affairs and defense
committees, signed by 90 deputies and presented to then President Vladimir Putin. The report claimed that "the
U.S. is creating new integral geophysical weapons that may influence the near-Earth medium with
high-frequency radio waves ... The significance of this qualitative leap could be compared to the transition

from cold steel to firearms, or from conventional weapons to nuclear weapons. This new type of weapons
differs from previous types in that the near-Earth medium becomes at once an object of direct influence and
its component."However, given the timing of the Russian intervention, it is possible that it was related to a
controversy at the time concerning the US withdrawal in June 2002 from the Russian-American Anti-Ballistic
Missile Treaty. This high level concern is paralleled in the April 1997 statement by the U.S. Secretary of
Defense over the power of such electromagnetic weaponry. Russia owns and operates an ionospheric heater
system as powerful as the HAARP [6], called 'Sura,' which is located roughly 150 km from the city of Nizhny
Novgorod.

Page updated May 17, 2007

The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a congressionally initiated program
jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. The program's goal is to provide a state-of-the-art
U.S. owned ionospheric research facility readily accessible to U.S. scientists from universities, the
private sector and government. This facility would be the most advanced in the world and would attract
international scientists and foster cooperative research efforts. The program's purpose is to provide a
research facility to conduct pioneering experiments in ionospheric phenomena. The data obtained from
the proposed research would be used to analyze basic ionospheric properties and to assess the potential
for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for communications and surveillance purposes.
The layer of the earth's atmosphere called the ionosphere begins approximately 30 miles above the
surface and extends upward to approximately 620 miles. In contrast to the layers of the atmosphere
closer to the earth, which are composed of neutral atoms and molecules, the ionosphere contains both
positively and negatively charged particles known as ions and electrons. These ions and electrons are
created naturally by radiation from our sun.
The ionized gas in the ionosphere behaves much differently from the neutral atmosphere closer to the
earth. A major difference is that although radio signals pass through the lower atmosphere undistorted,
the signals directed through the ionosphere may be distorted, totally reflected or absorbed. For example,
communication links from the ground to earth-orbiting satellites can experience fading due to
ionospheric distortion; an AM radio signal sometimes can reflect, or "skip", off the ionosphere and be
heard at locations hundreds of miles distant from the broadcasting radio station; the characteristic fading
on the high-frequency (HF) or "shortwave" band is due to ionospheric interference. Because of its
strong interaction with radio waves, the ionosphere also interferes with U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) communications and radar surveillance systems, which depend on sending radio waves from one
location to another.
Ionospheric disturbances at high latitudes also can act to induce large currents in electric power grids;
these are thought to cause power outages. Understanding of these and other phenomena is important to
maintain reliable communication and power services. HAARP is needed to continue and expand basic
research efforts on the properties and potential uses of the ionosphere for enhanced communications and
surveillance. To meet the project's research objectives, the HAARP facility would utilize powerful, high
frequency (HF) transmissions and a variety of associated observational instruments to investigate
naturally occurring and artificially induced ionospheric processes that support, enhance or degrade the
propagation of radio waves.
Investigations conducted at the HAARP facility are expected to provide significant scientific
advancements in understanding the ionosphere. The research facility would be used to understand,
simulate and control ionospheric processes that might alter the performance of communications and
surveillance systems. This research would enhance present civilian and DOD capabilities because it
would facilitate the development of techniques to mitigate or control ionospheric processes.
Civilian applications from the program's research could lead to improved local and world-wide
communications such as satellite communication. Furthermore, and possibly more significant is the
potential for new technology that could be developed from a better understanding of ionospheric
processes.
A potential DOD application of the research is to provide communications to submerged submarines.

These and many other research applications are expected to greatly enhance present DOD technology.
There are several HF transmitters located throughout the world which conduct research similar to that
proposed by HAARP. However, no facility, located either in the U.S. or elsewhere, has the transmitting
capability needed to address the broad range of research goals which HAARP proposes to study. The
most capable HF transmitters currently operating are located in Russia and Norway and have effective
radiated powers (ERP) of roughly one billion watts (1 gigawatt). One gigawatt of ERP represents an
important threshold power level, allowing significant radio wave generation and analysis of key
ionospheric phenomena. The HAARP facility is designed to have an ERP above one gigawatt. This
would elevate the United States to owning and operating the world's most capable ionospheric research
instrument.

Is HAARP Unique?
Ionosphere research facilities have been in continuous use since the 1950s to investigate fundamental
physical principles which govern the earth's ionosphere, so that present and future transmission
technologies may take into account the complexities of this highly variable medium. In addition to
HAARP, the United States has operated two other ionosphere research sites in recent years, one in
Puerto Rico, near the Arecibo Observatory, and the other (known as HIPAS) in Alaska near Fairbanks.
Both of these facilities were built with both active and passive radio instrumentation similar to those at
the HAARP facility. Interest in the ionosphere is not limited to the US: a five-country consortium
operates the European Incoherent Scatter Radar site (EISCAT), a premier ionosphere research facility
located in northern Norway near Tromso. Facilities also are located at Jicamarca, Peru; near Moscow,
Nizhny Novgorod ("SURA") and Apatity, Russia; near Kharkov, Ukraine and in Dushanbe,
Tadzhikistan. All of these installations have as their primary purpose the study of the ionosphere, and
most employ the capability of stimulating to a varying degree small, localized regions of the ionosphere
in order to study methodically, and in a detailed manner what nature produces randomly and regularly
on a much larger scale. HAARP is unique to most existing facilities due to the combination of a research
tool which provides electronic beam steering, wide frequency coverage and high effective radiated
power collocated with a diverse suite of scientific observational instruments.
Who is Building HAARP?

Page updated August 15, 2007

Technical expertise and procurement services as required for the management, administration and
evaluation of the program are being provided cooperatively by the Air Force (Air Force Research
Laboratory), the Navy (Office of Naval Research and Naval Research Laboratory), and the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency. Since the HAARP facility consists of many individual items of
scientific equipment, both large and small, there is a considerable list of commercial, academic and
government organizations which are contributing to the building of the facility by developing scientific
diagnostic instrumentation and by providing guidance in the specification, design and development of
the IRI. BAE Advanced Technologies (BAEAT) is the prime contractor for the design and construction
of the IRI. Other organizations which have contributed to the program include the University of Alaska,
Stanford University, Cornell University, University of Massachusetts, UCLA, MIT, Dartmouth
University, Clemson University, Penn State University, University of Tulsa, University of Maryland, SRI

What is the Value of Ionosphere Research?
The ionosphere begins approximately 35 miles above the earth's surface and extends out beyond 500
miles. In contrast to the dense atmosphere close to the earth, which is composed almost entirely, of
neutral gas, the thin ionosphere contains both neutral gas and a small number of charged particles known
as ions and electrons. This ionized medium can distort, reflect and absorb radio signals, and thus can
affect numerous civilian and military communications, navigation, surveillance and remote sensing
systems in many varied ways. For example, the performance of a satellite-to-ground communication link
is affected by the ionosphere through which the signals pass. AM broadcast programs, which in the
daytime can be heard only within a few tens of miles from the station, at night sometimes can be heard
hundreds of miles away, due to the change from poor daytime to good nighttime reflection from the
ionosphere. A long-range HF communication link which uses multiple hops or reflections from the
ionosphere and ground, often experiences amplitude fading caused by interference between signals
which have traveled from the transmitter to the receiver by two (or more) different ionosphere paths.
Since the sun's radiation creates and maintains the ionosphere, sudden variations in this radiation such as
those caused by solar flares can affect the performance of radio systems. Sometimes these natural
changes are sufficient to induce large transient currents in electric power transmission grids, causing
widespread power outages. Lightning is known to cause substantial heating and ionization density
enhancement in the lower ionosphere, and there are indications that ground-based HF transmitters,
including radars and strong radio stations, also modify the ionosphere and influence the performance of
systems whose radio paths traverse the modified region. Perhaps the most famous example of the latter
is the "Luxembourg" effect, first observed in 1933. In this case a weak Swiss radio station appeared to
be modulated with signals from the powerful Luxembourg station, which was transmitting at a
completely different frequency. Music from the Luxembourg station was picked up at the frequency of
the Swiss station.
The continual growth in the number of civilian and military satellite systems whose performances can be
affected by changes in ionosphere conditions stimulates research on characterizing and understanding
those effects, whether they be natural (solar related) or the result of controlled local modification of the
ionosphere, using ground HF transmitters. The HAARP facility is capable of supporting research in both
these areas of interest, by utilizing its flexible HF transmitting array and its suite of radio and optical
diagnostic instruments for active experimental research. Effectively, the diagnostic instruments alone
constitute a space-weather observatory (on the ground), which provides real-time data on the state of
the dynamic ionosphere over much of Alaska.
Why is the DoD Involved?
The Department of Defense (DoD) conducts Arctic research to ensure the development of the
knowledge, understanding and capability to meet national defense needs in the Arctic. Interest in
ionosphere research at HAARP stems both from the large number of communication, surveillance and
navigation systems that have radio paths which pass through the ionosphere, and from the unexplored
potential of technological innovations which suggest applications such as detecting underground objects,
communicating to great depths in the sea or earth, and generating infrared and optical emissions.
Expanding our knowledge about the interactions of signals passing through or reflecting from the
ionosphere can help to solve future problems in the development of DoD systems, and could as well
enhance the utilization of commercial systems which rely on the expedient transfer of real-time
communications.
Why Gakona, Alaska?
During HAARP's environmental impact study, Gakona was identified as one of two DoD-owned,
Alaskan locations which satisfied the site selection criteria of being within the auroral zone, near a major
highway for year-round access, away from densely settled areas and their electrical noise and lights that
could interfere with sensitive research measurements, on relatively flat terrain, of realistic and
reasonable construction and operation costs, as well as minimal environmental impacts. On October 18,
1993 following the July 15, 1993 issuance of the Air Force's Environmental Impact Statement which
evaluated potential environmental effects of constructing and operating the HAARP facility, a Record
of Decision (ROD) signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations selected

Gakona as the location for the HAARP facility.
Location of the HAARP Facility
The access road is located at Milepost 11.3 on the Tok highway. The geographic coordinates of the HF
antenna array are approximately 62.39 degrees (North) latitude, 145.15 degrees (West) longitude. The
geomagnetic coordinates for the facility are 63.09 degrees (North) latitude and 92.44 degrees (West)
longitude.
What is the IRI and what does it transmit?
Basically, the IRI is what is known as a phased array transmitter. It is designed to transmit a narrow
beam of high power radio signals in the 2.8 to 10 MHz frequency range. Its antenna is built on a gravel
pad having dimensions of 1000' x 1200' (about 33 acres). There are 180 towers, 72' in height mounted on
thermopiles spaced 80' apart in a 12 x 15 rectangular grid. Each tower supports near its top, two pairs of
crossed dipole antennas, one for the low band (2.8 to 8.3 MHz), the other for the high band (7 to 10
MHz). The antenna system is surrounded by an exclusion fence to prevent possible damage to the
antenna towers or harm to large animals. An elevated ground screen, attached to the towers at the 15'
level, acts as a reflector for the antenna array while allowing vehicular access underneath to 30
environmentally-controlled transmitter shelters spaced throughout the array. Each shelter contains 6
pairs of 10 kW transmitters, for a total of 6 x 30 x 2 x 10 kW = 3600 kW available for transmission. The
transmitters can be switched to drive either the low or high band antennas. Electric prime power is
provided from an on-site power plant housing five, 2500 kW generators, each driven by a 3600 hp diesel
engine. Four generators are required for operation of the IRI and the fifth is held as a spare. From a
control room within the Operations Center, the transmission from each of the 180 crossed-dipole
antennas is adjusted in a precise manner under computer control. In this manner, the complete array of
antennas forms a narrow antenna pattern pointed upward toward the ionosphere. The transmitted signal
diverges (spreads out) as it travels upward and is partially absorbed, at an altitude which depends on the
transmitted HF frequency, in a small volume several tens of miles in diameter and a few hundred meters
thick directly over the facility. The remainder of the transmitted signal either reflects back toward the
earth or passes through the ionosphere into space, continuing to diverge as it does so. By the time it
reaches the ionosphere, the intensity of the HF signal is less than 3 microwatts (0.000003 watt) per cm2,
thousands of times less than the Sun's natural electromagnetic radiation reaching the earth and hundreds
of times less, even, than the variations in intensity of the Sun's natural ultraviolet (UV) energy which
creates the ionosphere.
How safe are these transmissions?
Because the antenna pattern of the IRI array has been tailored to transmit its signal upward rather than
toward the horizon, radio field strengths at ground level, including areas directly under the antenna
array, are calculated to be smaller than Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) standards allow for human
exposure. This is possible because the individual transmitters are spaced apart over 33 acres so that the
concentration of radio fields never exceeds these nationally recognized safety standards.
Electromagnetic field strength measurements have been made throughout the development of the
facility, beginning in 1994 and regularly thereafter. Measurements on the ground, directly under and
around the array and at multiple points on-site and off-site have verified compliance with RFR standards
as well as with all requirements for safety mandated in the EIS Record of Decision. At the point of
closest public access on the Tok Highway, for example, the measured fields are ten-thousand times
smaller than permitted by the RFR standards and hundreds of times smaller than typically found near
AM broadcast station antennas in many urban areas. The strength of these fields continues to decrease
in a rapid manner at greater distances from the facility.
What about aircraft?
While the signals along the ground are well-below adopted safety levels, the signals transmitted above
the antenna array may have sufficient strength to interfere with electronic equipment in aircraft flying
nearby. Therefore, to ensure the safety of all flight operations in the vicinity of HAARP, the facility
employs an aircraft alert radar (AAR) to automatically shut off appropriate transmissions when aircraft
are detected either within or approaching a defined safety zone around the facility. Flight tests are
conducted regularly to demonstrate the capability of the HAARP radar to detect even very small targets.
Research operations are not conducted unless the AAR is operating satisfactorily.

What is the potential for Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)?
Every radio transmitting facility has the potential to interfere with other radio spectrum users. To
determine the potential for HAARP's transmissions to interfere inadvertently with other spectrum users
such as Alaskan TV, AM/FM radio, ham radio, or even with HAARP's own sensitive radio receiving
equipment, a comprehensive RFI study was conducted during the environmental impact study phase.
Theory predicted that in several worst-case scenarios, interference may be encountered by some nearby
users sharing the RF spectrum. On the other hand, the real world experiences of similar ionosphere
research instruments and radar diagnostics employed elsewhere in the world have shown that compatible
operations are practical. Included in HAARP's Spectrum Certification from the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) are commitments to a mitigation program
that includes the use of state-of-the-art transmitters with stringent requirements for minimizing
out-of-band transmissions; proper orientation of the HF antenna array and adoption of operating
procedures, including beam steering, to minimize array side-lobes; employing special techniques such as
waveform shaping, filtering and antenna null placement; and working with affected spectrum users, if
any, to reach mutually agreeable solutions. A local phone number (907) 822-5497 permits anyone
believing they have interference from HAARP to contact the Gakona site operations center. In addition,
an automated spectrum monitor is installed to allow the HAARP control operator to monitor nearby
spectrum usage to assist in frequency selection for avoiding potential interference.
What is the RFI Resolution Advisory Committee?
The Record of Decision stipulated than an RFI Resolution Committee ("Committee") would be formed
with local representation, to help mitigate potential RFI issues. The local community-appointed resident
would serve as an ombudsman to ensure community satisfaction with the RFI mitigation approaches
undertaken by HAARP. The purpose of the Committee is to provide a forum for the thorough review of
confirmed RFI reports. This Committee has met at least yearly since December 6, 1994. Committee
members are from the following organizations (one from each): Community-appointed resident, Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), ALASCOM, Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation, Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., American Radio Relay League (ARRL), Coast Guard,
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Fish & Wildlife (Federal), Fish & Game (State), National Park
Service, HAARP Environmental Liaison Officer, HAARP operational staff (site supervisor or delegate),
HAARP Program-appointed chairperson, National Park Service, Naval Research Laboratory (NRL),
and the combined Alaska military command (ALCOM) frequency coordinator.
To ensure that all concerns, including aircraft safety as well as radio frequency interference issues, are
addressed completely, a Developmental Prototype (DP) was completed in 1994. The DP consisted of a 6
x 8 (48 antenna element) array of crossed dipole antennas. A 3 x 6 (18 antenna elements) subset of
these antennas was energized by 18 pairs of 10 kW transmitters contained in three separate shelters,
thus supplying up to a maximum of 360 kW. Prime power for this initial array was obtained from three
portable 350 kW diesel generators.
During 1998, the DP was upgraded to include transmitters for all 48 of the antenna elements that were
originally installed. This Filled Developmental Prototype (FDP) was capable of producing 960 kW of
total transmitter power. Measurements of the HF fields in the vicinity of the FDP antenna array showed
that field intensities everywhere, including within the FDP beam, were below recommended
international safety limits for fly-by-wire aircraft. Nonetheless, the FDP was only operated in
conjunction with the aircraft alert radar, to insure that no high power transmissions occurred when there
was local flight traffic. Operation and test of the FDP verified the system engineering design and helped
develop interference mitigation procedures that are now integrated into all research operations involving
the IRI.
HAARP Diagnostics
HAARP has developed an extensive set of diagnostic instrumentation to support ionosphere research at
auroral latitudes, to characterize the processes produced in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere by
high power radio waves and to assess the potential of emerging ionosphere/radio technology for DoD
applications. While some of these scientific instruments are collocated with the IRI at the research
facility, others, due to geometrical considerations, are located off-site at various distances from the
facility. One of the primary active on-site instruments is the HF ionosonde, which transmits in the 1-30

MHz band and is used to provide scientists with information about the electron density profile in the
ionosphere. Another is the UHF ionosphere radar which transmits radio wave signals in the 430 - 450
MHz band and which will eventually be expanded to provide incoherent scatter capability.
Among the passive on-site instruments are two magnetometers for the measurement of the earth's
magnetic field and its variations, and two riometers (relative ionosphere opacity meter) to sense
ionosphere absorption of the celestial background electromagnetic radiation. The radio spectrum from
100 kHz to 1 GHz is being recorded to determine frequency of usage and to monitor HAARP
transmissions to ensure adherence to FCC and NTIA requirements. Other passive on-site instruments
include sensitive optical imagers and photometers, ELF/VLF receivers, and Total Electron Content
receivers. Data obtained from these scientific instruments are readily accessible on the internet in near
real time, allowing scientists to observe and participate in the investigations directly from their
laboratories. In addition to the instruments specifically developed by HAARP, a number of diagnostics
potentially are available through other federal agencies and the University of Alaska's Geophysical
Institute.
Use of Local Resources
The Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) has played a major role in the
development of diagnostics and coordination of Arctic programs with the US scientific community. UAF
led a consortium of universities and industries which provided support in the design and development of
the Gakona facility and its associated scientific instruments. BAE Advanced Technologies, the prime
contractor for the IRI, utilized Eric Goozen for initial site survey work. Ahtna Construction, Inc., a
Glennallen based contractor, has contributed very extensively to the development of the facility. Ahtna
currently provides housekeeping and security services. Anchorage-based engineering firms Duane Miller
& Associates and USKH prepared the civil and pad design work and conducted the on-site testing and
evaluation. Arctic Foundation of Anchorage designed and manufactured, and Kiewit Pacific Company
installed thermopiles in the pad, using Amtec, Inc. to survey the thermopile locations and Tester Drilling
and EBA Engineering to provide drilling support. Acme Fence Company installed fencing, using the
services of Mark Lappi to survey the fence lines and B&B Plumbing to steam thaw the ground for
drilling. City Electric, Inc. erected the towers, antennas, and ground screen. Pacific Detroit Diesel and
Valley Diesel refurbished and installed the 2.5 MW diesel generators which are used to power the HF
transmitters. Service Oil provides fuel oil. Copper Valley Telephone installed the telephone lines, and
Copper Valley Electric supplies commercial housekeeping power. Bishop & Sons Enterprises supplies
water, while CBS Service provides trash removal and sewage disposal. Harley McMahon flew sorties to
test the capabilities of the aircraft alert radar and provide the opportunity for aerial photography.
Current/Future Operations at the HAARP Research Facility
Construction of the full IRI was completed in early 2007. In the near term, emphasis is being placed on
validating the performance of the complete IRI to include compliance with all specifications for
interference mitigation and safety of operations. Initial IRI testing began during March 2007.
Both on- and off-site scientific, observational instruments are now providing data on the natural high
latitude ionosphere. A complete listing of these scientific instruments is available.
Environmental Process
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), an environmental impact statement
(EIS) evaluated the consequences of constructing and operating the HAARP research facility in Alaska.
The EIS discusses impacts on such diverse topics as electromagnetic and radio frequency interference,
vegetation, wetlands, wildlife, air quality, subsistence, cultural resources, atmosphere and others.
State and federal environmental regulatory agencies were consulted to identify issues, and additional
input was solicited from the public during scoping meetings held in Anchorage and Glennallen, Alaska in
August 1992. A draft of the EIS was prepared and distributed to the public and to specific organizations
on March 12, 1993. Public hearings were held in Glennallen and Anderson, municipalities close to the
sites under consideration. The final EIS was released to the public on July 15, 1993 and the Record of
Decision selecting Gakona, Alaska as the site for the HAARP Ionosphere Research Facility was signed
on October 18, 1993.

United States Secretary of Defense

The United States Secretary of Defense (SecDef) is


the head of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD),
concerned with the armed services and military matters.
This position roughly corresponds to Minister of
defense in other countries. The role of the Secretary of
Defense is to be the principal defense policy advisor to
the President and is responsible for the formulation of
general defense policy related to all matters of direct
and primary concern to the DoD, and for the execution
of approved policy.[1] The Secretary is appointed by
the President with the approval of the Senate, and is a
member of the Cabinet. By statute (10 U.S.C. 113
(http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/10/113.html) ) the
secretary must be a civilian who has not served in the
active component of the armed forces for at least 10
years.[2] The Secretary of Defense is sixth in the
presidential line of succession. The Secretary of
Defense earns a salary of $191,300 per year.

Standard of the Secretary of


Defense

The position was created in 1947 when the Navy, Army, and newly created Air
Force were merged into the new National Military Establishment. In the same massive reorganization, the
Secretary of War was replaced by the Secretary of the Army and, along with the Secretary of the Navy and the
new Secretary of the Air Force, became non-Cabinet positions placed under the Secretary of Defense. In 1949,
the National Military Establishment was renamed the Department of Defense, which remains the current name
of the department.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the U.S. Constitution, the President of the United


States is the head of state and the head of government of the
United States. As chief of the executive branch and head of
the federal government as a whole, the presidency is the
highest political office in the United States by influence and
recognition. The president is also the Commander-in-Chief
of the U.S. armed forces. The president is indirectly elected
to a four-year term by an Electoral College (or by the House
of Representatives should the Electoral College fail to
award an absolute majority of votes to any person). Since
the ratification of the Twenty-second Amendment to the
United States Constitution in 1951, no person may be
The White House, the president's official residence
and place of business
elected to the office of the president more than twice.[1]
Upon death, resignation, or removal from office of an
incumbent president, the Vice President assumes the office. This list includes only those persons who were
sworn into office as president following the ratification of the United States Constitution, which took effect on
March 4, 1789. For American leaders before this ratification, see President of the Continental Congress. The list
does not include any Acting Presidents under the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
There have been forty-three people sworn into office, and forty-four presidencies, due to the fact that Grover
Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms and is counted chronologically as both the twenty-second and the
twenty-fourth president. Of the individuals elected as president, four died in office of natural causes (William
Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Warren G. Harding, and Franklin D. Roosevelt), one resigned (Richard M.
Nixon), and four were assassinated (Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, and John F.
Kennedy). The first president was George Washington, who was inaugurated in 1789 after a unanimous
Electoral College vote. William Henry Harrison spent the shortest time in office at 31 days in 1841. At over
twelve years, Franklin D. Roosevelt spent the longest time in office, and is the only president to serve more than
two terms, but he died shortly into his fourth term in 1945. The current president is Barack Obama; he assumed
the office on January 20, 2009.

1. ^ A presidency is defined as consecutive time in office served by a single person. For example, George Washington
served two consecutive terms and is counted as the first president (not the first and second). Gerald Ford assumed
the presidency after the resignation of Richard Nixon, serving out the remainder of what would have been Nixon's
second term. The fact that Ford was not voted into office does not affect the numbering, which makes him the 38th
president. In addition, under this numbering, Grover Cleveland is counted as having two separate presidencies,
having served two non-consecutive terms.
2. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k Died in office of natural causes.
3. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r Prior to ratification of the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution
in 1967, there was no provision for filling a vacancy in the Vice Presidency. Richard Nixon was the first president
to fill such a vacancy under the provisions of the Twenty-fifth Amendment when he appointed Gerald Ford. Ford
later became the second president to fill a vice presidential vacancy when he appointed Nelson Rockefeller to
succeed him.
4. ^ a b c Resigned.
5. ^ Being the first vice president to assume the presidency, Tyler set a precedent that a vice president who assumes
the office of president becomes a fully functioning president who has his own presidency, as opposed to just a
caretaker president. His political opponents attempted to refer to him as "Acting President", but he refused to allow
that. The Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution put Tyler's precedent into the Constitution.
6. ^ Former Democrat who ran for Vice President on Whig ticket. Clashed with Whig congressional leaders and was
expelled from the Whig party in 1841.
7. ^ a b c d Assassinated.
8. ^ a b Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson were, respectively, a Republican and a Democrat who ran on the
National Union ticket in 1864.
9. ^ This term was shortened by 43 days due to the Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution going into
effect, moving inauguration day from March 4 to January 20.

Michael Vincent Hayden

Michael Vincent Hayden, (born March 17, 1945 in


Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a retired United States Air
Force four-star general and former Director of the
National Security Agency and Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency. From April 21, 2005May 26, 2006
he was the Principal Deputy Director of National
Intelligence, a position which once made him "the highestranking military intelligence officer in the armed
forces."[1]
He was director of the National Security Agency (NSA)
from 19992005. During his tenure as director, the longest
in the history of the agency, he oversaw the controversial
NSA surveillance of technological communications
between persons in the United States and alleged foreign
terrorist groups, which resulted in the NSA warrantless
surveillance controversy.
On May 8, 2006, Hayden was nominated for the position
of CIA Director and reappointment to the rank of general
following the May 5 resignation of Porter J. Goss, and on
May 23 the Senate Intelligence Committee voted 12-3 to
send the nomination to the Senate floor. His nomination
was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 26 by
a vote of 78-15. On May 30, 2006 and again the following
day at the CIA lobby with President George W. Bush in
attendance, Hayden was sworn in as the Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency.
On July 1, 2008, Hayden retired from the Air Force after
41 years of military service and continued to serve as
Director of the CIA until 12 February 2009.[2] He is
currently a principal at the Chertoff Group, a security
consultancy co-founded by former Homeland Security
Secretary Michael Chertoff.[3]

responsible for a combat support agency of the Department of Defense with military and civilian personnel
stationed worldwide.[5]
Strategy for the NSA
Hayden and the NSA have a strategy to increase their use of American industry for domestic surveillance.[6][7]
[8][9]

Wiretaps of domestic calls


In May 2006, USA Today reported that, under Hayden's leadership, the NSA created a domestic telephone call
database. During his nomination hearings, Hayden defended his actions to Senator Russ Feingold and others,
stating that he had relied upon legal advice that the White House order to build the database was supported by
Article Two of the United States Constitution executive branch powers (in which the President must "take care
that the laws be faithfully executed"), overriding legislative branch statutes forbidding warrantless surveillance
of domestic calls, which included the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Previously, this action would
have required a warrant from a FISA court. The stated purpose of the database was to eavesdrop on
international communications between persons within the U.S. and individuals and groups overseas in order to
locate terrorists [10][11][12]

Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence


General Hayden was Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence from
May 2005 to May 2006 under John Negroponte.

Director of the Central Intelligence Agency


On May 8, 2006, Hayden was nominated by President George W. Bush to be
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency after the resignation of Porter J.
Goss on May 5, 2006. [13] He was later confirmed on May 26, 2006 as
Director, 78-15, by full U.S. Senate vote. [14]

Hayden is sworn in as Principal


Deputy Director of National
Intelligence

Critics of the nomination and Hayden's attempts to increase domestic


surveillance included Senator Dianne Feinstein who stated on May 11, 2006
that "I happen to believe we are on our way to a major constitutional
confrontation on Fourth Amendment guarantees of unreasonable search and
seizure"[15]
Hayden is not the first active member of the military to be appointed to run the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Those previously holding the position of
Director of Central Intelligence while simultaneously holding a military rank
were:

Dick Cheney

Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney[1] (born January 30,


1941) served as the 46th Vice President of the United
States from 2001 to 2009 in the administration of George
W. Bush.
Cheney was raised in Casper, Wyoming. He began his
political career as an intern for Congressman William A.
Steiger, eventually working his way into the White House
during the Ford administration, where he served as White
House Chief of Staff. In 1978, Cheney was elected to the
U.S. House of Representatives from Wyoming; he was
reelected five times, eventually becoming House Minority
Whip. Cheney was selected to be the Secretary of
Defense during the presidency of George H. W. Bush,
holding the position for the majority of Bush's term.
During this time, Cheney oversaw the 1991 Operation
Desert Storm, among other actions.
Out of office during the Clinton presidency, Cheney was
chairman and CEO of Halliburton Company from 1995 to
2000.
Cheney joined the Bush administration in 2000, after
Bush selected him as his running mate. After becoming
Vice President, Cheney remained a very public, influential
and controversial figure.

Cheney. He is of predominantly English, Irish and Welsh
ancestry.[2][3] Although not a direct descendant, he is
collaterally related to Benjamin Pierce Cheney
(1815-1895), the early American expressman. He attended Calvert Elementary School[4][5] before his family
moved to Casper, Wyoming,[6] where he attended Natrona County High School. His father was a soil
conservation agent for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and his mother was a softball star in the 1930s;[7]
Cheney was one of three children. He attended Yale University, but, as he stated, "[he] flunked out."[8][9]
Among the influential teachers from his days in New Haven was Professor H. Bradford Westerfield, whom
Cheney repeatedly credited with having helped to shape his approach to foreign policy.[10] He later attended the
University of Wyoming, where he earned both a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in political science. He
subsequently started, but did not finish, doctoral studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[11]
In November 1962, at the age of 21, Cheney was convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI). He was arrested
for DWI again the following year.[12] Cheney said that the arrests made him "think about where I was and
where I was headed. I was headed down a bad road if I continued on that course."[13]
In 1964, he married Lynne Vincent, his high school sweetheart, whom he had met at age 14.
When Cheney became eligible for the draft, during the Vietnam War, he applied for and received five draft

deferments.[14][15] In 1989, The Washington Post writer George C. Wilson interviewed Cheney as the next
Secretary of Defense; when asked about his deferments, Cheney reportedly said, "I had other priorities in the
'60s than military service."[16] Cheney testified during his confirmation hearings in 1989 that he received
deferments to finish a college career that lasted six years rather than four, owing to sub par academic
performance and the need to work to pay for his education. Initially, he was not called up because the Selective
Service System was only taking older men. When he became eligible for the draft, he applied for four
deferments in sequence. He applied for his fifth exemption on January 19, 1966, when his wife was about 10
weeks pregnant. He was granted 3-A status, the "hardship" exemption, which excluded men with children or
dependent parents. In January 1967, Cheney turned 26 and was no longer eligible for the draft.[17]

White House Chief of Staff

assistant Cheney (right) meet
with President Gerald Ford at
the White House, April 1975

Cheney's political career began in 1969, as an intern for Congressman William


A. Steiger during the Richard Nixon Administration. He then joined the staff of
Donald Rumsfeld, who was then Director of the Office of Economic
Opportunity from 196970.[12] He held several positions in the years that
followed: White House Staff Assistant in 1971, Assistant Director of the Cost
of Living Council from 197173, and Deputy Assistant to the president from
19741975. It was in this position that Cheney suggested in a memo to
Rumsfeld that the Ford administration should use the US Justice Department in
a variety of legally questionable ways to exact retribution for an article
published by The New York Times investigative reporter Seymour Hersh.
[18][19]

Cheney was Assistant to the President under Gerald Ford. When Rumsfeld was
named Secretary of Defense, Cheney became White House Chief of Staff, succeeding Rumsfeld.[12] He later
was campaign manager for Ford's 1976 presidential campaign as well.[20]

In 1978, Cheney was elected to represent Wyoming in the U.S. House of Representatives and succeed retiring
Congressman Teno Roncalio, having defeated his Democratic opponent, Bill Bailey. Cheney was reelected five
times, serving until 1989. He was Chairman of the Republican Policy Committee from 1981 to 1987 when he
was elected Chairman of the House Republican Conference. The following year, he was elected House Minority
Whip.[21]

Votes
Among the many votes he cast during his tenure in the House, he voted in 1979
with the majority against making Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday a
national holiday, but then voted with the majority in 1983 when the measure
passed.[20] He voted against the creation of the U.S. Department of Education,
citing his concern over budget deficits and expansion of the federal
government, and claiming that the Department was an encroachment on states'
rights.[22] He voted against funding Head Start, but reversed his position in
2000.[23]

In 1986, after President Ronald Reagan vetoed a bill to impose economic sanctions on South Africa for its
policy of apartheid, Cheney was one of 83 Representatives to vote against overriding Reagan's veto.[24] In later
years, he articulated his opposition to unilateral sanctions against many different countries, stating "they almost
never work"[25] and that in that case they might have ended up hurting the people instead.[26]
In 1986, Cheney, along with 145 Republicans and 31 Democrats, voted against a non-binding Congressional
resolution calling on the South African government to release Nelson Mandela from prison, after the Democrats
defeated proposed amendments that would have required Mandela to renounce violence sponsored by the
African National Congress (ANC) and requiring it to oust the communist faction from its leadership; the
resolution was defeated. Appearing on CNN, Cheney addressed criticism for this, saying he opposed the
resolution because the ANC "at the time was viewed as a terrorist organization and had a number of interests
that were fundamentally inimical to the United States."[27]
Cheney also served as ranking minority member of the Congressional committee investigating the Iran-Contra
affair.[12][28] He promoted Wyoming's petroleum and coal businesses as well,[29] and as a result, the federal
building in Casper, a regional center of the fossil fuel industry, is named the Dick Cheney Federal Building.[30]

House Minority Whip


In December 1988, the House Republicans elected Cheney as Minority Whip, the second spot under the
Minority Leader.[21] He served for two and a half months before he was appointed Secretary of Defense instead
of former Texas Senator John G. Tower, whose nomination had been rejected by the Senate in March 1989.[31]

President George H. W. Bush nominated Cheney for the office of Secretary of


Defense immediately after the US Senate failed to confirm John Tower for that
position.[32] The senate confirmed Cheney by a vote of 92 to 0[32] and he served in
that office from March 1989 to January 1993. He directed the United States invasion
of Panama and Operation Desert Storm in the Middle East. In 1991 he was awarded
the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bush.[21]

Early tenure
Cheney worked closely with Pete Williams, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public
Affairs, and Paul Wolfowitz, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, from the
beginning of his tenure. He focused primarily on external matters, and left most
internal Pentagon management to Deputy Secretary of Defense Donald J. Atwood,
Jr.[31]

Budgetary practices
Cheney's most immediate issue as Secretary of Defense was the Department of
Defense budget. Cheney deemed it appropriate to cut the budget and downsize the
military, following President Ronald Reagan's peacetime defense buildup at the
height of the Cold War.[33] As part of the fiscal year 1990 budget, Cheney assessed
the requests from each of the branches of the armed services for such expensive

programs as the B-2 stealth bomber, the V-22 Osprey tilt-wing helicopter, the Aegis destroyer and the MX
missile, totaling approximately $4.5 billion in light of changed world politics.[31] Cheney opposed the V-22
program, which Congress had already appropriated funds for, and initially refused to issue contracts for it before
relenting.[34] When the 1990 Budget came before Congress in the summer of 1989, it settled on a figure
between the Administration's request and the House Armed Services Committee's recommendation.[31]
In subsequent years under Cheney, the proposed and adopted budgets followed
patterns similar to that of 1990. Early in 1991, he unveiled a plan to reduce
military strength by the mid-1990s to 1.6 million, compared with 2.2 million
when he entered office. Cheney's 1993 defense budget was reduced from
1992, omitting programs that Congress had directed the Department of
Defense to buy weapons that it did not want, and omitting unrequested reserve
forces.[31]

launch of a new destroyer.

Over his four years as Secretary of Defense, Cheney downsized the military
and his budgets showed negative real growth, despite pressures to acquire
weapon systems advocated by Congress. The Department of Defense's total
obligational authority in current dollars declined from $291 billion to $270 billion. Total military personnel
strength decreased by 19 percent, from about 2.2 million in 1989 to about 1.8 million in 1993.[31]

Political climate and agenda


Cheney publicly expressed concern that nations such as Iraq, Iran, and North Korea, could acquire nuclear
components after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The end of the Cold War, the fall of the Soviet
Union, and the disintegration of the Warsaw Pact obliged the first Bush Administration to reevaluate the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO's) purpose and makeup. Cheney believed that NATO should remain the
foundation of European security relationships and that it would remain important to the United States in the long
term; he urged the alliance to lend more assistance to the new democracies in Eastern Europe.[31]
Cheney's views on NATO reflected his skepticism about prospects for peaceful social development in the
former Eastern Bloc countries, where he saw a high potential for political uncertainty and instability. He felt that
the Bush Administration was too optimistic in supporting Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev and his successor,
Russian President Boris Yeltsin.[31] Cheney worked to maintain strong ties between the United States and its
European allies.[35]
Cheney persuaded the Saudi Arabian aristocracy to allow bases for US ground troops and war planes in the
nation. This was an important element of the success of the Gulf War, as well as a lightning-rod for Islamists
who opposed having non-Muslim armies near their holy sites.[36]

International situations
Using economic sanctions and political pressure, the United States mounted a campaign to drive Panamanian
ruler General Manuel Antonio Noriega from power after he fell from favour.[31] In May 1989, after Guillermo
Endara had been duly elected President of Panama, Noriega nullified the election outcome, drawing intensified
pressure. In October, Noriega suppressed a military coup, but in December, after soldiers of the Panamanian
army killed a US serviceman, the United States invasion of Panama began under Cheney's direction. The stated
reason for the invasion was to seize Noriega to face drug charges in the United States, protect US lives and
property, and restore Panamanian civil liberties.[37] Although the mission was controversial,[38] US forces

achieved control of Panama and Endara assumed the Presidency; Noriega was convicted and imprisoned on
racketeering and drug trafficking charges in April 1992.[39]
In 1991, the Somali Civil War drew the world's attention. In August 1992, the
United States began to provide humanitarian assistance, primarily food,
through a military airlift. At President Bush's direction, Cheney dispatched the
first of 26,000 US troops to Somalia as part of the Unified Task Force
(UNITAF), designed to provide security and food relief.[31] Cheney's
successors as Secretary of Defense, Les Aspin and William J. Perry, had to
contend with both the Bosnian and Somali issues.

Iraqi invasion of Kuwait

On August 1, 1990, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein sent invading forces into
neighboring Kuwait, a small petroleum-rich state long claimed by Iraq as part of its territory.[40] An estimated
140,000 Iraqi troops quickly took control of Kuwait City and moved on to the Saudi Arabia/Kuwait border.[31]
The United States had already begun to develop contingency plans for the defense of Saudi Arabia by the US
Central Command, headed by General Norman Schwarzkopf, because of its important petroleum reserves.
US and world reaction

Cheney and Schwarzkopf oversaw planning for what would become a


full-scale US military operation. According to General Colin Powell, Cheney
"had become a glutton for information, with an appetite we could barely
satisfy. He spent hours in the National Military Command Center peppering my
staff with questions."[31]
Shortly after the Iraqi invasion, Cheney made the first of several visits to Saudi
Arabia where King Fahd requested US military assistance. The United Nations
Cheney meets with Prince
Sultan, Minister of Defence and
took action as well, passing a series of resolutions condemning Iraq's invasion
Aviation in Saudi Arabia to
of Kuwait; the UN Security Council authorized "all means necessary" to eject
discuss how to handle the
Iraq from Kuwait, and demanded that the country withdraw its forces by
invasion of Kuwait
January 15, 1991.[40] By then, the United States had a force of about 500,000
stationed in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf. Other nations, including
Britain, Canada, France, Italy, Syria, and Egypt, contributed troops, and other allies, most notably Germany and
Japan, agreed to provide financial support for the coalition effort, named Operation Desert Shield.[31]
On January 12, 1991, both Houses of Congress authorized Bush to use military force to secure Iraq's compliance
with UN resolutions on Kuwait.[40]
Military action

The first phase of Operation Desert Storm, which began on January 17, 1991, was an air offensive to secure air
superiority and attack Iraq's forces, targeting key Iraqi command and control centers, including Baghdad and
Basra. Cheney turned most other Department of Defense matters over to Deputy Secretary Atwood and briefed
Congress during the air and ground phases of the war.[31] He flew with Powell to the region (specifically
Riyadh) to review and finalize the ground war plans.[40]

After an air offensive of more than five weeks, the UN coalition launched the ground war on February 24.
Within 100 hours, Iraqi forces had been routed from Kuwait and Schwarzkopf reported that the basic objective
expelling Iraqi forces from Kuwait had been met on February 27.[41] After consultation with Cheney and
other members of his national security team, Bush declared a suspension of hostilities.[40]
Aftermath

A total of 147 U.S. military personnel died in combat, and another 236 died as a result of accidents or other
causes.[31][41] Iraq agreed to a formal truce on March 3, and a permanent cease-fire on April 6.[31] There was
subsequent debate about whether the UN coalition should have driven as far as Baghdad to oust Saddam
Hussein from power. Bush agreed that the decision to end the ground war when they did was correct, but the
debate persisted as Hussein remained in power and rebuilt his military forces.[31] Arguably the most significant
debate concerned whether U.S. and coalition forces had left Iraq too soon.[42][43] In an April 15, 1994 interview
with C-SPAN, Cheney explained that occupying and attempting to take over the country would have been a
"bad idea" and would have led to a "quagmire."[44][45]
Cheney regarded the Gulf War as an example of the kind of regional problem the United States was likely to
continue to face in the future.[46]
We're always going to have to be involved [in the Middle East]. Maybe it's part of our national character,
you know we like to have these problems nice and neatly wrapped up, put a ribbon around it. You deploy a
force, you win the war and the problem goes away and it doesn't work that way in the Middle East it never
has and isn't likely to in my lifetime.

Between 1987 and 1989, during his last term in Congress, Cheney was a director of the Council on Foreign
Relations foreign policy organization.[47]
With the new Democratic administration under President Bill Clinton in January 1993, Cheney left the
Department of Defense and joined the American Enterprise Institute. He also served a second term as a Council
on Foreign Relations director from 1993 to 1995.[47] From 1995 until 2000, he served as Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of Halliburton, a Fortune 500 company and market leader in the energy sector.
Cheney's record as CEO was subject to some dispute among Wall Street analysts; a 1998 merger between
Halliburton and Dresser Industries attracted the criticism of some Dresser executives for Halliburton's lack of
accounting transparency.[48] During Cheney's tenure, Halliburton changed its accounting practices regarding
revenue realization of disputed costs on major construction projects.[49] Cheney resigned as CEO of Halliburton
on July 25, 2000. As vice president, he argued that this step removed any conflict of interest. Cheney's net
worth, estimated to be between $30 million and $100 million, is largely derived from his post at Halliburton, as
well as the Cheneys' gross income of nearly $8.82 million.[50]
In 1997, along with Donald Rumsfeld, William Kristol and others, Cheney founded the Project for the New
American Century, a neoconservative think tank whose self-stated goal is to "promote American global
leadership."[51] He was also part of the board of advisors of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs
(JINSA) before becoming vice president.[36]

2000 election
See also: United States presidential election, 2000
In early 2000, while serving as the CEO of Halliburton, Cheney headed George
W. Bush's vice-presidential search committee. On July 25, after reviewing
Cheney's findings, Bush surprised some pundits by asking Cheney himself to
join the Republican ticket.[12] Halliburton reportedly reached agreement on
July 20 to allow Cheney to retire, with a package estimated at $20 million.[52]
Cheney campaigned against Al Gore's running mate, Joseph Lieberman, in the
2000 presidential election. Cheney, who had been typecast as being aloof
during most of the campaign, was remarkably lively during his visit to Chicago,
where he rode the L, danced the polka, served attendees kielbasa with stuffed
cabbage and addressed a cheering crowd.[53]

While the election was undecided, the Bush-Cheney team was not eligible for public funding to plan a transition
to a new administration. So, Cheney opened a privately funded transition office in Washington. This office
worked to identify candidates for all important positions in the cabinet.[54] According to Craig Unger, Cheney
advocated Donald Rumsfeld for the post of Secretary of Defense to counter the influence of Colin Powell at the
State Department, and tried unsuccessfully to have Paul Wolfowitz named to replace George Tenet as director
of the Central Intelligence Agency.[55]

First term
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Cheney remained physically apart from Bush for security reasons.
For a period, Cheney stayed at an undisclosed location, out of public view.[56]
On the morning of June 29, 2002, Cheney served as Acting President of the United States under the terms of the
25th Amendment to the Constitution, while Bush was undergoing a colonoscopy. Cheney acted as President
from 11:09 UTC that day until Bush resumed the powers of the presidency at 13:24 UTC.[57][58]
Iraq War
Following 9/11, Cheney helped shape Bush's approach to the War on
Terrorism. Despite contrary claims from The Pentagon, Cheney continued to
assert a connection between Al-Qaeda and Iraq prior to the Iraq War in several

repeated personal visits to CIA headquarters, where he questioned mid-level
agency analysts on their WMD conclusions.[62]

Second term
See also: United States presidential election, 2004
Bush and Cheney were re-elected in the 2004 presidential election, running
against John Kerry and his running mate, John Edwards. During the election,
the pregnancy of his daughter Mary and her sexual orientation as a lesbian
became a source of public attention for Cheney in light of the same-sex
marriage debate.[65] Cheney has stated that he is in favor of gay marriages but
that each individual state should decide whether to permit it.[66]
Cheney's former chief legal counsel, David Addington,[67] became his chief of
staff and remained in that office until Cheney's departure from office. John P.
Hannah served as Vice President Cheney's national security adviser.[68] Until
his resignation in 2005, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Jr. served in both roles.[69]

On the morning of July 21, 2007, Cheney once again served as Acting President for about two and a half hours.
Bush transferred the power of the presidency prior to undergoing a medical procedure, requiring sedation, and
later resumed his powers and duties that same day.[70]
After his term began in 2001, Cheney was occasionally asked if he was interested in the Republican nomination
for the 2008 elections. However, he always maintained that he wished to retire upon the expiration of his term,
and indeed he did not run in the 2008 presidential primaries, the GOP nominating Arizona Senator John McCain
instead.[71]
Disclosure of documents

Cheney was a prominent member of the National Energy Policy Development


Group (NEPDG),[72] commonly known as the Energy task force, which
comprised energy industry representatives, including several Enron executives.
After the Enron scandal, critics accused the Bush administration of improper
political and business ties. In July 2003, the Supreme Court ruled that the
Department of Commerce must disclose NEPDG documents, containing
references to companies that had made agreements with Saddam Hussein to
develop Iraq's oil.[73]

Beginning in 2003, Vice President Cheney's staff opted not to file required
reports with the National Archives and Records Administration office charged
with assuring that the executive branch protects classified information, nor did it allow inspection of its record
keeping.[74] Cheney refused to release the documents, citing his executive privilege to deny congressional
information requests.[75][76] Such media outlets as Time Magazine and CBS News sarcastically questioned
whether Cheney had created a "fourth branch of government" that was not subject to any laws.[77] A group of
historians and open-government advocates filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia,
asking the court to declare that Cheney's vice-presidential records are covered by the Presidential Records Act

On October 18, 2005, The Washington Post reported that the vice president's
office was central to the investigation of the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal,
for Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was one of the
figures under investigation.[81] Following an indictment, Libby resigned his
positions as Cheney's chief of staff and assistant on national security affairs.
On September 8, 2006, Richard Armitage, former Deputy Secretary of State,
publicly announced that he was the source of the revelation of Plame's status.
Armitage said he was not a part of a conspiracy to reveal Plame's identity and
did not know whether one existed.[82]

President Cheney referring to

In February 2006, The National Journal reported that Libby had stated before a grand jury that his superiors,
including Cheney, had authorized him to disclose classified information to the press regarding Iraq's weapons
intelligence.[83]
On March 6, 2007, Libby was convicted on four felony counts for obstruction of justice, perjury, and making

Texas ranch.[86]
Whittington suffered a mild heart attack, and atrial fibrillation due to a pellet that embedded in the outer layers
of his heart. The Kenedy County Sheriff's office cleared Cheney of any criminal wrongdoing in the matter, and
in an interview with Fox News, Cheney accepted full responsibility for the incident.[87] Whittington was
discharged from the hospital on February 17, 2006. Later, Whittington apologized to the vice-president for the
trouble the event had caused him and his family. Cheney reiterated that it was an honest accident.[88]

On February 27, 2007, at about 10 a.m., a suicide bomber killed 23 people and
wounded 20 more outside Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan during a visit by
Cheney. Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a Taliban spokesman, claimed responsibility for
the attack and said Cheney was its intended target. The Taliban claimed that
Osama Bin Laden supervised the operation.[89] The bomb went off outside the
front gate, however, while Cheney was inside the base and half a mile away.
He reported hearing the blast, saying "I heard a loud boom...The Secret Service
came in and told me there had been an attack on the main gate."[90] The
purpose of Cheney's visit to the region had been to press Pakistan for a united
front against the Taliban.[91]

Policy formulation
Cheney has been characterised as the most powerful and influential Vice
President in history.[92][93] Both supporters and detractors of Cheney regard
him as a shrewd and knowledgeable politician who knows the functions and
intricacies of the federal government. A sign of Cheney's active policy-making
role was then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert's provision of an office near the
House floor for Cheney[94] in addition to his office in the West Wing,[95] his
ceremonial office in the Old Executive Office Building,[96] and his Senate
offices (one in the Dirksen Senate Office Building and another off the floor of
the Senate).[94][97]

In June 2007, the Washington Post summarized Cheneys vice presidency in a
Pulitzer Prize-winning[100] four-part series, based in part on interviews with former
administration officials. The articles characterized Cheney not as a shadow
president, but as someone who usually has the last words of counsel to the president
on policies, which in many cases would reshape the powers of the presidency. When
former Vice President Dan Quayle suggested to Cheney that the office was largely
ceremonial, Cheney reportedly replied, I have a different understanding with the
president. The articles described Cheney as having a secretive approach to the tools
of government, indicated by the use of his own security classification and three
man-sized safes in his offices.[101]
The articles described Cheneys influence on decisions pertaining to detention of
suspected terrorists and the legal limits that apply to their questioning, especially
Vice President Cheney
escorts former first lady
what constitutes torture.[102] They characterized Cheney as having the strongest
Nancy Reagan at the
influence within the administration in shaping budget and tax policy in a manner that
commissioning
assures conservative orthodoxy.[103] They also highlighted Cheneys behindceremony of the USS
the-scenes influence on the administrations environmental policy to ease pollution
Ronald Reagan, 2003
controls for power plants, facilitate the disposal of nuclear waste, open access to
federal timber resources, and avoid federal constraints on greenhouse gas emissions,
among other issues. The articles characterized his approach to policy formulation as favoring business over the
environment.[104]
In June 2008, Cheney allegedly attempted to block efforts by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to strike a
controversial US compromise deal with North Korea over the communist state's nuclear program.[105]
In July 2008, a former Environmental Protection Agency official stated publicly that Cheney's office had pushed
significantly for large-scale deletions from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report on the health
effects of global warming "fearing the presentation by a leading health official might make it harder to avoid
regulating greenhouse gases."[106] In October, when the report appeared with six pages cut from the testimony,
The White House stated that the changes were made due to concerns regarding the accuracy of the science.
However, according to the former senior adviser on climate change to Environmental Protection Agency
Administrator Stephen Johnson, Cheney's office was directly responsible for nearly half of the original testimony
being deleted.[106]
Cheney and former United States Attorney General Alberto Gonzales were indicted by a Texas grand jury for
conflict of interest in his role as Vice President and "at least misdemeanor assaults" via his investments in
private company that runs detention centers in Texas.[107] The grand jury indictment was related to Cheney's
financial involvement with Vanguard Group, a company that contracts with the United States Government to
operate Federal prisons and detention centers.[108] The charges specifically related to prisoner abuse in those
centers.[109] The prosecutor, Juan Guerra, also brought indictments against several special prosecutors and
judges that were involved in investigating his office for misconduct over the past several years. Guerra did not
appear in court.[110][111] The indictments were dismissed by the judge as invalid on December 1, 2008.[112]

After leaving office, Cheney purchased a home in McLean, Virginia (Washington suburbs), and maintains
homes in Wyoming and on Maryland's Eastern Shore.[113]

Said to be writing a book,[114] his memoirs are likely to be published in spring 2011. It is thought the book will
charge that in his second term George W. Bush ignored Cheney's advice and, in a word, went soft. According to
a front page article in The Washington Post, Cheney "felt Bush was drifting away from him. Cheney said Bush
was shackled by public reaction and the criticism he took. The Cheney doctrine was cast iron strength at all
times - never apologise, never explain while Bush moved towards a conciliatory approach." Personal factors
also contributed to the growing distance between the two men. Cheney was dismayed when Mr. Bush forced his
old friend and mentor Donald Rumsfeld out of the Pentagon in 2006. Cheney reportedly further accused Bush
of abandoning Lewis "Scooter" Libby, likening his action to leaving a soldier on the battlefield. [115] Cheney
maintained a visible public profile after leaving office,[116] being especially critical of Obama administration
policies on national security.[117][118]
In May 2009, Cheney spoke of his support for same-sex marriage, becoming one of the most prominent
Republican politicians to do so. Speaking to the National Press Club, Cheney stated: "People ought to be free to
enter into any kind of union they wish, any kind of arrangement they wish. I do believe, historically, the way
marriage has been regulated is at a state level. It's always been a state issue, and I think that's the way it ought to
be handled today."[119]
Although, by custom, a former Vice President receives unofficial six month protection from the United States
Secret Service, President Obama reportedly extended the protection period for Cheney[120].
On 11 July, 2009 CIA Director Leon E. Panetta told the Senate and House intelligence committees that the CIA
withheld information about a secret counter-terrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders
from Dick Cheney. Intelligence and Congressional officials have said the unidentified program did not involve
the CIA interrogation program and did not involve domestic intelligence activities. They have said the program
was started by the counter-terrorism center at the CIA shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, but never
became fully operational, involving planning and some training that took place off and on from 2001 until this
year.[121] Wall Street Journal reported, citing former intelligence officials familiar with the matter, that the
program was an attempt to carry out a 2001 presidential authorization to capture or kill al Qaeda operatives.[122]

Cheney's long histories of cardiovascular disease and periodic need for urgent health care raised questions of
whether he was medically fit to serve in public office.[123] Once a heavy smoker, Cheney sustained the first of
four heart attacks in 1978, at age 37. Subsequent attacks in 1984, 1988, and 2000[124] have resulted in moderate
contractile dysfunction of his left ventricle. He underwent four-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting in 1988,
coronary artery stenting in November 1994, and urgent coronary balloon angioplasty in December 1994.[125]
As vice president, Cheney was cared for by the White House Medical Unit (WHMU).[126] Staff from the
WHMG accompany the president and the vice president while either is traveling, and make advance contact
with local emergency medical services to ensure that urgent care is available immediately should it be necessary.
He has undergone a number of procedures during his tenure.
In 2001, an examination of Cheney with a Holter monitor revealed the presence of brief episodes of
(asymptomatic) ectopy. An electrophysiologic study was performed, at which Cheney was found to have an
unsteady and potentially fatal heartbeat.[127] An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was therefore
implanted in his left upper anterior chest.[128]
On September 24, 2005, Cheney underwent a six-hour endo-vascular procedure to repair popliteal artery

aneurysms bilaterally, a catheter treatment technique used in the artery behind each knee.[125] The condition
was discovered at a regular physical in July, and was not life-threatening.[127] Cheney was hospitalized for tests
after experiencing shortness of breath five months later. In late April 2006, an ultrasound revealed that the clot
was smaller.[125]
On March 5, 2007, Cheney was treated for deep-vein thrombosis in his left leg at George Washington University
Hospital after experiencing pain in his left calf.[125] Doctors prescribed blood-thinning medication and allowed
him to return to work.[129]
CBS News reported that during the morning of November 26, 2007, Cheney was diagnosed with atrial
fibrillation and underwent treatment that afternoon.[125]
On July 12, 2008 Cheney underwent a cardiological exam, and doctors reported that his heartbeat was normal
for a 67-year-old man with a history of heart problems. As part of his annual checkup, he was administered an
electrocardiogram and radiological imaging of the stents placed in the arteries behind his knees in 2005. Doctors
said that Cheney had not experienced any recurrence of atrial fibrillation and that his special pacemaker had
neither detected nor treated any arrhythmia.[130]
On October 15, 2008, Cheney returned to the hospital briefly to treat a minor irregularity.[131]
On January 19, 2009, Cheney strained his back "while moving boxes into his new house". As a consequence, he
was in a wheelchair for two days, including his attendance at the 2009 United States presidential
inauguration.[132]

In the beginning of the Bush administration, Cheney's public opinion polls were more favorable than
unfavorable. In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, both Bush's and Cheney's approval ratings rose,
with Cheney reaching 63 percent[133] and the president with 90 percent.[134] The polling numbers for both men
declined after the September 11 attacks, however.[133][135] Cheney's Gallup poll figures are consistent with
those from other polls:[133][136]
April 200163% approval, 21% disapproval
January 200268% approval, 18% disapproval
January 200456% approval, 36% disapproval
January 200550% approval, 40% disapproval
January 200641% approval, 46% disapproval
July 200730% approval, 60% disapproval
March 200930% approval, 63% disapproval
In April 2007 Cheney was awarded an honorary doctorate of public service from Brigham Young University,
where he delivered the commencement address.[137] His selection as graduate commencement speaker was
controversial. The college board of trustees issued a statement explaining that the invitation should be viewed
"as one extended to someone holding the high office of vice president of the United States rather than to a
partisan political figure."[138] BYU permitted a protest to occur so long as it did not "make personal attacks
against Cheney, attack (the) BYU administration, the church or the First Presidency."[139]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Office of United States Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) was established by U.S. President Harry
Truman on January 23, 1946 with Admiral Sidney Souers occupying the position. The DCI was coordinating
intelligence activities among and between the various United States intelligence agencies, also called the
American Intelligence Community.
Until April 2005, the DCI also served as de-facto Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and was often
referred to colloquially as the "CIA Director." After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United
States and the subsequent investigation by the 9/11 Commission, a movement grew to re-organize the
Intelligence Community. That movement prompted the creation, on April 21, 2005, of the Office of the Director
of National Intelligence (DNI), in whose purview was the job portfolio that had been performed previously by
the Director of Central Intelligence. The latter position then ceased to exist.
Porter J. Goss was the 19th and final CIA Director to serve in the position of DCI.

Rear Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter was appointed as the first Director of
Central Intelligence (i.e., full Director of Central Intelligence). During his
tenure, a National Security Council Directive on Office of Special Projects,
June 18, 1948 (NSC 10/2) further gave the CIA the authority to carry out
covert operations "against hostile foreign states or groups or in support of
friendly foreign states or groups but which are so planned and conducted that
any US Government responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized
persons."[1] Those operations, however, were initially conducted by other
agencies such as the Office of Policy Coordination. See Approval of
Clandestine and Covert Operations and Clandestine HUMINT and Covert
Action for details of the eventual merger of these operations with the CIA, as
well as how the equivalent functions were done in other countries.

Walter Bedell Smith, 1950-1953


During the first years of its existence, other branches of government did not exercise much control over the
Central Intelligence Agency; justified by the desire to match and defeat Soviet actions throughout the globe, a
task many believed could be accomplished only through an approach similar to the Soviet intelligence agencies,
under names including NKVD, MVD, NKGB, MGB, and KGB. Those Soviet organizations also had domestic
responsibilities.

Allen W. Dulles 19531961


The rapid expansion of the CIA, and a developed sense of independence under the Director of Central
Intelligence (DCI) Allen Dulles added to US intelligence not having a great deal of independent review. After
the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961, President John F. Kennedy dismissed Dulles. Dulles was an OSS veteran. His
autobiography,[2] is more noteworthy as a way of understanding the mindset of key people in the field than it is
a detailed description of the CIA.

John McCone 1961-1965


Kennedy exercised greater supervision, and appointed a Republican with a general engineering background.
McCone, despite a lack of intelligence background, is often considered one of the most competent DCIs and
excellent managers. He directed the IC during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The agency stepped up its activity in
Southeast Asia under President Lyndon B. Johnson. McCone resigned from his position of DCI in April 1965,
believing himself unappreciated by Johnson. McCone's final policy memorandum to Johnson argued that
expansion of the war in Vietnam would arouse national and world discontent over the war before it brought
down the North Vietnamese regime.

William Raborn 19651966


Raborn, a distinguished naval officer who directed the creation of ballistic missile submarines, had a short and
unhappy tenure as DCI. His background included no foreign relations experience, and intelligence only as it
pertained to naval operations. CIA historians said "Raborn did not 'take' to the DCI job".[3] Raborn resigned on
June 30, 1966, having served for only fourteen months as DCI; he was replaced by his deputy Richard Helms.

Richard M. Helms 19661973


Helms was an OSS and CIA veteran, and the first DCI to have risen through the ranks at CIA. Helms became

Director of the OSO after the CIA's disastrous role in the attempted Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba in 1961]].
After falling out with the Kennedys, he was sent off to Vietnam where he oversaw the coup to overthrow
President Ngo Dinh Diem. Following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Helms was made Deputy Director of
Central Intelligence under Admiral William Raborn. A year later, in 1966, he was appointed Director.
In the early 1970s, partially as a result of the Watergate break-ins under President Richard M. Nixon, the United
States Congress took a more active role in intelligence agencies, as did independent commissions such as the
1975 United States President's Commission on CIA activities within the United States, also called the
Rockefeller Commission after its chairman. Revelations about past CIA activities, such as assassinations and
attempted assassinations of foreign leaders, illegal domestic spying on U.S. citizens, drew considerable
congressional oversight that had not been previousy exercised. It was determined, by several investigating
committees, that the CIA had given inappropriate assistance to persons affiliated with the White House and the
1972 Nixon reelection campaign. Certain of the individuals involved in the Watergate breakins had worked, in
the past, for the CIA. In an audio tape provoking President Nixon's resignation, Nixon ordered his chief of staff,
H.R. Haldeman, to tell the CIA that further investigation of Watergate would "open the whole can of worms"
about the Bay Of Pigs of Cuba, and, therefore, that the CIA should tell the FBI to cease investigating the
Watergate burglary, due to reasons of "national security".[4] CIA did not comply.
The ease of Helms's role under President Lyndon Johnson changed with the arrival of President Richard Nixon
and Nixon's national security advisor Henry Kissinger. After the debacle of Watergate, from which Helms
succeeded in distancing the CIA as far as possible, the Agency came under much tighter congressional control.
Nixon, however, considered Helms to be disloyal, and fired him as DCI in 1973. Helms was the only DCI
convicted for irregularities in office; his autobiography describes his reactions to the charges[5]

James R. Schlesinger 1973


On 2 February 1973 he became Director of Central Intelligence, after Richard Helms, the previous director, had
been fired for his refusal to block the Watergate investigation. Schlesinger's first words upon becoming DCI
were, reportedly, "I'm here to make sure you don't screw Richard Nixon." Although his CIA service was short,
barely six months, it was stormy as he again undertook comprehensive organizational and personnel changes. He
became so unpopular at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia that a security camera was installed opposite his
official portrait for fear that it would be vandalized. By this time he had a reputation as a tough, forthright, and
outspoken administrator. Schesinger's appointment as Secretary of Defense cut short his tenure as DCI.
He commissioned reports known as the "Family Jewels" on illegal activities by the Agency.

William Colby 19731976


Colby was another intelligence professional who was promoted to the top job. His autobiography was entitled
"Honorable Men", and he believed that a nation had to believe such people made up its intelligence service.[6]
In December 1974, Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh broke the news of the "Family Jewels" in a
front-page article in The New York Times, revealing that the CIA had assassinated foreign leaders, and had
conducted surveillance on some seven thousand American citizens involved in the antiwar movement
(Operation CHAOS).
Congress responded to the "Family Jewels" in 1975, investigating the CIA in the Senate via the Church
Committee, chaired by Senator Frank Church (D-Idaho), and in the House of Representatives via the Pike
Committee, chaired by Congressman Otis Pike (D-NY). President Gerald Ford created the aforementioned
Rockefeller Commission, and issued an Executive Order prohibiting the assassination of foreign leaders.

Colby's tenure as DCI congressional investigations into alleged U.S. intelligence malfeasance over the preceding
twenty-five years. Colby cooperated, not out of a desire for major reforms, but in the belief that the actual scope
of such misdeeds was not great enough to cause lasting damage to the CIA's reputation. He believed that
cooperating with Congress was the only way to save the Agency from dissolution. Colby also believed that the
CIA had a moral obligation to cooperate with the Congress and demonstrate that the CIA was accountable to
the Constitution. This caused a major rift within the CIA ranks, with many old-line officers such as former DCI
Richard Helms believing that the CIA should have resisted congressional intrusion.
Colby's time as DCI was also eventful on the world stage. Shortly after he assumed leadership, the Yom Kippur
War broke out, an event that surprised not only the American intelligence agencies but also the Israelis. This
intelligence surprise reportedly affected Colby's credibility with the Nixon Administration. Meanwhile, after
many years of involvement, South Vietnam fell to Communist forces in April 1975, a particularly difficult blow
for Colby, who had dedicated so much of his life and career to the American effort there. Events in the arms
control field, Angola, the Middle East, and elsewhere also demanded attention.
William Colby's death, officially in a boating accident, happened on the same date when a New York prosecutor
got permission to set up a grand jury to investigate the role of the CIA in the death of Frank Olson who worked
at Fort Detrick, Maryland and was involved in chemical warfare research. Frank Olson was one of the
experimental subjects in the CIA MKULTRA experiments with LSD and other drugs. He did not give informed
consent for the CIA to experiment on him, as would be ethically required under the medical research principles
of the Declaration of Helsinki. The CIA claimed that he committed suicide by jumping out of a hotel window
but the family did not believe this explanation. An autopsy of the remains of Frank Olson had found blunt force
trauma to the head, which might have come from the fall, or been inflicted before the fall. The Olson matter
remains unresolved and continues to arise in reviews of questionable activities.

George H. W. Bush 19761977


Bush's confirmation as Director of Central Intelligence was opposed by many pundits and politicians still reeling
from the Watergate scandal (when Bush was head of the Republican National Committee, and a steadfast
defender of Nixon) and the Church Committee investigating whether CIA-ordered foreign assassinations were
being directed towards domestic officials, including President Kennedy. Many arguments against Bush's initial
confirmation were that he was too partisan for the office. The Washington Post, George Will, and Senator Frank
Church were some notable figures opposed to Bush's nomination. After a pledge by Bush not to run for either
president or vice president in 1976, opposition to his nomination died down.
Bush served in this role for 355 days, from January 30, 1976 to January 20, 1977.[7] The CIA had been rocked
by a series of revelations, including disclosures based on investigations by the Senate's Church Committee,
about the CIA's illegal and unauthorized activities, and Bush was credited with helping to restore the agency's
morale.[8] On February 18, 1976, President Ford issued Executive Order 11905, which established policy
guidelines and restrictions for individual intelligence agencies, and clarified intelligence authorities and
responsibilities. Bush was given 90 days to implement the new order, which called for a major reorganization of
the Intelligence Community and firmly stated that intelligence activities could not be directed against U.S.
citizens.[9] In his capacity as DCI, Bush gave national security briefings to Jimmy Carter both as a presidential
candidate and as President-elect, and discussed the possibility of remaining in that position in a Carter
administration.[10]

technical collection methods such as SIGINT and IMINT, and his apparent dislike for, and firing of, HUMINT
specialists made him extremely unpopular. Under Turner's direction, the CIA emphasized IMINT and SIGINT
more than HUMINT. Turner eliminated over 800 operational positions in what was called the "halloween
massacre." This organizational direction is notable because his successor William Casey was seen to have a
completely opposite approach, focusing much of his attention on HUMINT. Turner gave notable testimony to
Congress revealing much of the extent of the MKULTRA program, which the CIA ran from the early 1950s to
late 1960s. Reform and simplification of the intelligence community's multilayered secrecy system was one of
Turner's significant initiatives, but produced no results by the time he left office. He also wrote a book on his
experience at CIA.[11]
During Turner's term as head of the CIA, he became outraged when former agent Frank Snepp published a book
called Decent Interval which exposed incompetence among senior American government personnel during the
fall of Saigon.[12] accused Snepp of breaking the secrecy agreement required of all CIA agents, and then later
was forced to admit under cross-examination that he had never read the agreement signed by Snepp.[13]
Regardless, the CIA ultimately won its case against Snepp at the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court forced Snepp
to turn over all his profits from Decent Interval and to seek preclearance of any future writings about
intelligence work for the rest of his life. The ultimate irony was that the CIA would later rely on the Snepp legal
precedent in forcing Turner to seek preclearance of his own memoirs, which were highly critical of President
Ronald Reagan's policies.[13] Turner, who was not a lawyer, did not understand the concept of precedent, and
did not grasp the broader implications of pushing the U.S. Department of Justice to take an aggressive stance
against Snepp.[14]
In the documentary "Secrets of the CIA" Admiral Turner commented the MK ULTRA project.
"It came to my attention early in my ten years as director, and I felt it was a warning sign that if you're not
alert, things can go wrong in this organization."

William J. Casey 19811987


Main article: Operation Cyclone
During his tenure at the CIA, Casey played a large part in the shaping of Reagan's foreign policy, particularly its
approach to Soviet international activity. Based on a book, The Terror Network, Casey believed that the Soviet
Union was the source of most terrorist activity in the world, in spite of CIA analysts providing evidence that this
was in fact black propaganda by the CIA itself. Casey obtained a report from a professor that agreed with his
view, which convinced Ronald Reagan that there was a threat.[15]
Casey oversaw the re-expansion of the Intelligence Community, in particular the CIA, to funding and human
resource levels greater than those before resource cuts during the Carter Administration. During his tenure
restrictions were lifted on the use of the CIA to directly, covertly influence the internal and foreign affairs of
countries relevant to American policy.
This period of the Cold War saw an increase of the Agency's anti-Soviet activities around the world. Notably he
oversaw covert assistance to the mujahadeen resistance in Afghanistan, with a budget of over $1 billion by
working closely with Akhtar Abdur Rahman (the Director General of ISI in Pakistan), the Solidarity movement
in Poland, and a number of coups and attempted coups in South- and Central America.
Casey was also the principal architect of the arms-for-hostages deal that became known as the Iran-Contra
affair.

Hours before Casey was scheduled to testify before Congress about his knowledge of Iran-Contra, he was
reported to have been rendered incapable of speech, and was later hospitalized. In his 1987 book,[16]
Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, who had interviewed Casey on numerous occasions, said that he had
gained entry to Casey's hospital room for a final, four-minute long encounter a claim that was met with
disbelief in many quarters, and adamant denial by Casey's wife, Sofia. According to Woodward, when he asked
Casey if he knew about the diversion of funds to the Nicaraguan Contras, "His head jerked up hard. He stared,
and finally nodded yes."[17]

William H. Webster 19871991


Webster came from a legal background, including serving as a judge and the director of the FBI. He was
expected, with this background, to clean up legal irregularities at CIA. Repercussions from the Iran-Contra arms
smuggling scandal included the creation of the Intelligence Authorization Act in 1991.[16] It defined covert
operations as secret missions in geopolitical areas where the U.S. is neither openly nor apparently engaged. This
also required an authorizing chain of command, including an official, presidential finding report and the
informing of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, which, in emergencies, requires only "timely
notification".

Robert M. Gates 19911993


Gates was nominated (for the second time) for the position of Director of Central Intelligence by President
George H. W. Bush on May 14, 1991, confirmed by the United States Senate on November 5, and sworn in on
November 6, becoming the only career officer in the CIA's history (as of 2009) to rise from entry-level
employee to Director.[18]
The final report of the Independent Counsel for Iran/Contra Matters, issued on August 4, 1993, said that Gates
"was close to many figures who played significant roles in the Iran/contra affair and was in a position to have
known of their activities. The evidence developed by Independent Counsel did not warrant indictment..."[19]

R. James Woolsey 19931995


As Director of Central Intelligence, Woolsey is notable for having a very limited relationship with President Bill
Clinton. According to journalist Richard Miniter:
Never once in his two-year tenure did CIA director James Woolsey ever have a one-on-one meeting with
Clinton. Even semiprivate meetings were rare. They only happened twice. Woolsey told me: "It wasn't that I
had a bad relationship with the president. It just didn't exist."[20]

Another quote about his relationship with Clinton, according to Paula Kaufman of Insight Magazine:
Remember the guy who in 1994 crashed his plane onto the White House lawn? That was me trying to get an
appointment to see President Clinton.[21]

David Halberstam notes in War in a Time of Peace that Clinton chose Woolsey for CIA director because the
Clinton campaign had courted neoconservatives leading up to the 1992 election, promising to be tougher on
Taiwan, Bosnia, and human rights in China, and it was decided that they ought to give at least one
neoconservative a job in the administration.

In 1995, President Bill Clinton appointed him Director of Central Intelligence (cabinet rank in the Clinton
administration). However, Deutch was initially reluctant to accept the appointment. As head of the CIA, Deutch
continued the policy of his predecessor R. James Woolsey to declassify records pertaining to U.S. covert
operations during the Cold War.[22] He put restraints on what he considered to be politically incorrect agent
recruitment and sought to encourage more diversity at the Agency in order to include more women and
minorities in its ranks.[23]
In 1996, the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issued a congressional report estimating
that: "Hundreds of employees on a daily basis are directed to break extremely serious laws in countries around
the world in the face of frequently sophisticated efforts by foreign governments to catch them. A safe estimate is
that several hundred times every day (easily 100,000 times a year) DO officers engage in highly illegal activities
(according to foreign law) that not only risk political embarrassment to the US but also endanger the freedom if
not lives of the participating foreign nationals and, more than occasionally, of the clandestine officer himself."
[24][25]

In the same document, the committee wrote, "Considering these facts and recent history, which has shown that
the [Director of the Central Intelligence Agency], whether he wants to or not, is held accountable for overseeing
the [Clandestine Service], the DCI must work closely with the Director of the CS and hold him fully and directly
responsible to him."[25]
Soon after Deutch's departure from the CIA in 1996 it was revealed that classified materials were being kept on
several of Deutch's laptop computers designated as unclassified. In January 1997, the CIA began a formal
security investigation of the matter. Senior management at CIA declined to fully pursue the security breach.
Over two years after his departure, the matter was referred to the Department of Justice, where Attorney
General Janet Reno declined prosecution. She did, however, recommend an investigation to determine whether
Deutch should retain his security clearance.[26] President Clinton pardoned Deutch on his last day in office.[27]

George J. Tenet 19972004


Tenet was appointed Deputy Director of Central Intelligence in July 1995. After John Deutch's abrupt
resignation in December 1996, Tenet served as acting director until he was officially appointed the position on
July 11, 1997, after a unanimous confirmation vote in the Senate. This was followed by the withdrawal of
Anthony Lake, whose nomination had been blocked by Republicans in Congress. While the Director of Central
Intelligence has typically been replaced by an incoming administration ever since Jimmy Carter replaced DCI
George H. W. Bush, Tenet served through the end of the Clinton administration and well into the term of
George W. Bush.
Tenet embarked on a mission to regenerate the CIA, which had fallen on hard times since the end of the Cold
War. The number of agents recruited each year had fallen to an all-time low, a 25-percent decline from the Cold
War peak. Tenet appealed to the original mission of the agency, which had been to "prevent another Pearl
Harbor". The trick was to see where danger might come from in the post-Cold War world. Tenet focused on
potential problems such as "the transformation of Russia and China", "rogue states" like North Korea, Iran and
Iraq, and terrorism.[28]
In 1999 Tenet put forward a grand "Plan" for dealing with al-Qaeda. This effort placed the CIA in a better
position to respond after the September 11, 2001 attacks. As Tenet put it in his book,[29]
How could [an intelligence] community without a strategic plan tell the president of the United States just
four days after 9/11 how to attack the Afghan sanctuary and operate against al-Qa'ida in ninety-two
countries around the world?

On September 15, 2001. Tenet presented the Worldwide Attack Matrix, a blueprint for what became known as
the War On Terror.[30] He proposed firstly to send CIA teams into Afghanistan to collect intelligence on, and
mount covert operations against, al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The teams would act jointly with military Special
Operations units. "President Bush later praised this proposal, saying it had been a turning point in his
thinking."[31]
After the September 11 attacks, many observers criticized the Intelligence Community for numerous
"intelligence failures" as one of the major reasons why the attacks were not prevented.[30] In August 2007, a
secret report written by the CIA inspector general was made public (originally written in 2005 but kept secret).
The 19-page summary states that Tenet knew the dangers of Al Qaeda well before September 2001, but that the
leadership of the CIA did not do enough to prevent any attacks. Tenet reacted to the publication of this report
by calling it "flat wrong".[32]
Bob Woodward, in his book Plan of Attack,[33] wrote that Tenet privately lent his personal authority to the
intelligence reports about weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq. At a meeting on December 12, 2002,
he assured Bush that the evidence against Saddam Hussein amounted to a "slam dunk case." After several
months of refusing to confirm this statement, Tenet later stated that this remark was taken out of context. (Tenet
indicated that the comment was made pursuant to a discussion about how to convince the American people to
support invading Iraq, and that, in his opinion, the best way to convince the people would be by explaining the
dangers posed by Iraq's WMD i.e., the public relations sale of the war via the WMD, according to Tenet, would
be a "slam dunk").[34] The search following the 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S., British and international forces
yielded no stockpiles of WMDs, however. Tenet and his Director of Operations resigned at approximately the
same time, and it was suggested this was in penance over the WMD issue in Iraq.

Porter J. Goss 20042005


In his junior year at Yale, Goss was recruited by the CIA. He spent much of the 1960s roughly from 1960
until 1971 working for the Directorate of Operations, the clandestine services of the CIA. There he first
worked in Latin America and the Caribbean and later in Europe. The full details are not known due to the
classified nature of the CIA, but Goss has said that he had worked in Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Mexico. Goss,
who has said that he has recruited and trained foreign agents, worked in Miami for much of the time. Goss was
involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, telling the Washington Post in 2002 that he had done some
"small-boat handling" and had "some very interesting moments in the Florida Straits."
He served in Congress for 16 years until his appointment as Director of the CIA. While in the House, Goss
consistently and emphatically defended the CIA and supported strong budget increases for the Agency, even
during a time of tight budgets and Clintonian slashes to other parts of the intelligence budgets. In mid-2004,
Goss took a very strong position, during what had already been announced as his last congressional term, urging
specific reforms and corrections in the way the CIA carried out its activities, lest it become "just another
government bureaucracy."
After growing pressure, Congress established the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before
and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, a joint inquiry of the two intelligence committees, led by
Goss and Senator Bob Graham. Goss and Graham made it clear that their goal was not to identify specific
wrongdoing: Graham said the inquiry would not play "the blame game about what went wrong from an
intelligence perspective,", and Goss said, "This is not a who-shall-we-hang type of investigation. It is about
where are the gaps in America's defense and what do we do about it type of investigation."[35] The inquiry's
final report was released in December 2002 and focused entirely on the CIA and FBI's activities, including no
information on the White House's activities. Ray McGovern, a 27-year veteran of the CIA and a frequent

commentator on intelligence issues, believed the report showed that Goss gave "clear priority to providing
political protection for the president" when conducting the inquiry. Goss chiefly blamed President Bill Clinton
for the recent CIA failures. He confided in a reporter: "The one thing I lose sleep about is thinking what could I
have done better, how could I have gotten more attention on this problem sooner." When asked whether he ever
brought up his concerns with the administration, Goss claimed he had met three times with Clinton to discuss
"certain problems". The upshot? "He was patient and we had an interesting conversation but it was quite clear
he didnt value the intelligence community to the degree President Bush does."
Goss was nominated to become the new director on August 10, 2004. The appointment was challenged by some
prominent Democrats). Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-WV), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, expressed concerns that Goss was too politically partisan, given his public remarks against
Democrats while serving as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Another Democratic member of the
committee, Ron Wyden (D-OR), expressed concerns that given Goss's history within and ties to the CIA, he
would be too disinclined to push for institutional change. In an interview carried out by Michael Moore's
production company on March 3, 2004, Goss described himself as "probably not qualified" for a job within the
CIA, because the language skills the Agency now seeks are not languages he speaks and because the people
applying today for positions within the CIA's four directorates have such keen technical and analytic skills,
which he did not have when he applied to the Agency in the early 60s.
He brought with him five personal staff that were to implement change that became unpopular with CIA
professionals. Steve Kappes the Director of Operations and his subordinates including Michael Sulick,
Kappes' then-deputy. Although Kappes came back to a responsible position, it has been reported that he quit the
Agency rather than carry out a request by Goss to reassign Michael Sulick. Following Goss's departure, both
Kappes and Sulick have returned to positions of higher authority in the U.S. Intelligence Community. Kappes is
the Deputy Director of the CIA and Sulick was appointed Director of the National Clandestine Service on
September 14, 2007.
Speculations on the reason for his departure include a desire to have military agency heads, or, perhaps more
likely,
For many analysts, Goss' departure was inevitable, given the widespread perception that the White House
had lost confidence in his ability to reorganise the CIA. Goss' departure appears to have been due, at least in
part, to his repeated clashes with John Negroponte who was appointed in 2005 as the US Director of
National Intelligence, a new post created to co-ordinate all 16 of the US intelligence agencies in the aftermath
of the Al-Qaeda attacks.
[36]

A claim that the black sites existed was made by The Washington Post in
November 2005 and before by human rights NGOs.[37] US President George
W. Bush acknowledged the existence of secret prisons operated by the CIA
during a speech on September 6, 2006.[38][39]

Michael Hayden 2006-2009


Michael Hayden was the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, as
distinct from the Director of Central Intelligence. The overall responsibility for
intelligence community coordination now rests with the Director of National
Intelligence, currently Admiral Dennis C. Blair; the DCI position has been
abolished.

On 27 June 2007 the CIA released two collections of previously classified documents which outlined various
activities of doubtful legality.
The first collection, the "Family Jewels," consists of almost 700 pages of responses from CIA employees to a
1973 directive from Director of Central Intelligence James Schlesinger requesting information about activities
inconsistent with the Agency's charter.
The second collection, the CAESAR-POLO-ESAU papers, consists of 147 documents and 11,000 pages of
research from 1953 to 1973 relating to Soviet and Chinese leadership hierarchies, and Sino-Soviet relations.[40]

Leon Panetta 2009-Present


On January 5, 2009, Barack Obama nominated Leon Panetta for the post of Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency. After his selection, journalists, politicians, and media agenciessuch as The Economistraised
concerns about his lack of intelligence experience.[41] Time Magazine commented that "[m]ore than a few
eyebrows went up when word broke".[42]
The magazine also speculated that Obama selected Panetta because he needed a CIA director "untainted" by the
Bush Administration's policies on torture and its handling of the Iraq War.[42] David Ignatius says Obama
advisers have told him he was picked to provide political defense for the CIA: "Panetta is a Washington
heavyweight with the political clout to protect the agency and help it rebuild after a traumatic eight years under
George Bush, when it became a kind of national pincushion." Ignatius further explains that Panetta does have
tangential exposure to intelligence operations as director of the OMB and as Chief of Staff for President Clinton,
where he "sat in on the daily intelligence briefings as chief of staff, and he reviewed the nation's most secret
intelligence-collection and covert-action programs in his previous post as director of the Office of Management
and Budget." Panetta also served on the Iraq Study group.
Former DCI R. James Woolsey, Jr. is supportive of Leon Panetta, whom he has compared favorably with
Kennedy-era leader John McCone. He described Panetta as "a very able individual with a successful
career".[41]

Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (D/CIA)


serves as the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, which
is part of the United States Intelligence Community. The
Director reports to the Director of National Intelligence
(DNI). The Director is assisted by the Deputy Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency. The Director is nominated by
the President, with the concurring or nonconcurring
recommendation from the Director of National
Intelligence,[1] and must be confirmed by a majority vote of
the Senate.[2] There is no statutory provision which
specifically excludes active military personnel from being
nominated for the position.

Before April 21, 2005, the Director of Central Intelligence


(DCI) headed both the Intelligence Community and the
Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, DCI served as an
advisor to the President of the United States on intelligence
matters and was the statutory intelligence advisor to the
National Security Council (NSC). On April 21, 2005, the
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) took on the roles as
head of the Intelligence Community and principal intelligence
advisor to the President and the NSC.

Truman soon recognized the inefficiency of this arrangement
and created the Central Intelligence Group, which could be considered a smaller precursor to the National
Security Council. The following year the National Security Act of 1947 created the Central Intelligence Agency
and National Security Council, while formally defining the duties of the Director of Central Intelligence. The
duties of the DCI had been further defined over the years by tradition, congressional acts, and Executive
Orders.

PHILADELPHIA-The Justice Department today charged


former Lancaster businessman James H. Guerin and associates with a $1 billion fraud and illegal sale of U.S. military
technology to South Africa.
Guerin, once one of Lancaster's most prominent industrialists and philanthropists, faces up to 66 years in prison and $3.75
million in fines, if convicted of the charges, federal prosecutors in Philadelphia said.
Six other men who worked at Guerin's International Signal
& Control, near Mountville, also face charges in the alleged
schemes.
In addition, the government is charging Armscor, South
Africa's state affiliated weapons maker, two of its subsidiaries and seven South African nationals with involvement in the
smuggling scheme. (See accompanyinglist of indictments.)
In two indictments, containing 75charges agalnst 17 people,
the Justice Department portrayed Guerin as the architect of
the intertwining fraud and illegal export schemes.
Today's long-awaited indictments culminate a three-year
probe into ISC. Athough Guerin and his associates have been
named in many previous court proceedings, they were not
formally charged until today.

Essays of Murray N. Rothbard


Edited by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

On December 16, President Clinton


named retired Admiral Bobby Ray
Inman to fill the post of secretary of
defense. To say that the nominee was
universally hailed would be a
masterpiece of understatement. To
pundits, media people, politicians,
and leading "well-informed sources"
inside the Beltway, Bobby Ray Inman
could walk on water. He was the
perfect choice to bring order and
prestige to Clinton's troubled and
screwed-up foreign and military
policies. Bobby Ray was brilliant,
sober, knowledgeable, the Insiders'
Insider, Mr. Intelligence. When
Bobby Ray retired from many years
of public service in Washington in the early 1980s, and returned to
Texas, the reporters at Austin put on an affectionate show in his
behalf, singing, to the tune of "Jesus Christ, Superstar": "Bobby Ray,
Superstar/Are you the messiah that they say you are?" Clearly,
Washington greeted his return on December 16 with the fervent
answer. Yes!
Moreover, Inman had come highly recommended. The main person
pushing for his appointment within the administration was Clinton's
First Friend in the Trilateralist Establishment, Rhodes Scholar and
Oxford roomie Strobe Talbott, now deputy secretary of state, and
secretary of state-in-waiting. Inman's coronation seemed secure.
And yet, in just three weeks from that date, on January 16, Bobby Ray
Inman, reeling from bitter attacks by New York Times columnist Bill
Safire, attacks seconded by a couple of other media people, decided to
withdraw from the fray. He waited a couple of weeks to tell the

president, until Clinton's mother's funeral and his Russian trip were
out of the way, and then Inman went out in a blaze of fury, in a
remarkable televised press conference on January 18, less than a week
before his Senate confirmation hearings were slated to begin.
The almost monolithic response by the media was the most instructive
and revealing aspect of the Inman Affair. Almost exclusively, the
media focused on speculations of the supposedly odd psychological
state of mind of Admiral Inman. How could Inman retreat just
because Bill Safire and a couple of other columnists were criticizing
him? How could he possibly conjure up a "conspiracy" between Safire
and Senator Dole to attack him and besmirch his character? Inman
talked about "sources" but he couldn't prove his charges, could he?
Inman was denounced as remarkably "thin-skinned," his behavior in
charging conspiracy treated as "weird" and "bizarre," and the general
reaction echoed that of Senator Dole: that someone harboring
"fantasies" of this sort was not really equipped to be the captain at the
helm of America's defenses. In the psychobabble beloved by the
media, it was noted (which Inman had never denied) that Inman was
always reluctant about taking the job, and that therefore these
fantasies and this thin skin were really excuses for Inman's not taking
the position.
Amidst all the stress on Bobby Ray's supposedly fragile psyche, it was
overlooked that very little space was devoted to the content of the
charges that Safire and the others were leveling against Bobby Ray;
and virtually no space to Bobby Ray's explanation of the hostility that
Safire and the others had long harbored against him, and which led to
their anti-Inman campaign.
The media accounts all stress that no Senators were opposing the
Inman nomination; but the Senate staffers were preparing detailed
and thorough "scrutiny" of Inman's affairs. The media all imply that
Inman was "paranoid" and engaging in fantasies. But if Bobby Ray,
formerly Deputy Director of the CIA and head of the National Security
Agency, is not equipped to distinguish between "paranoia" and
genuine conspiracies, who is? Surely, "Mr. Intelligence" is better
equipped for this task than reporters for the New York Times or the
Wall Street Journal.
So let's stop the juvenile psychoanalyzing of Bobby Ray and cut to the
content. The charges about to surface against Inman in the hearings
included possible financial and even criminal peccadilloes in the
private sector, centering around two companies. One was Inman's role
as a member of the board of International Signal and Control, a firm
found by a federal district judge to be a criminal enterprise engaged in
illegal arms dealing, money laundering, and business fraud on a
massive scale. The other firm was Tracor, Inc., an Austin, Texas

military contractor of which Bobby Ray was chief executive, but not
before Inman received nearly $1 million in executive compensation.
Then, of course, there was Inman's Nannygate, in which he hastily
paid $6,000 in back Social Security taxes for an aged part-time
housekeeper only after he had been nominated for secretary of
defense.
Furthermore, Bill Safire was not above ridiculing Inman's name in his
widely influential column. Brushing aside the knowledge that a name
like "Bobby Ray" is common in Texas and throughout the South,
Safire ridiculed such a name for a grown man.
There was also a particularly ugly side to the media campaign against
Inman. One of the points dredged up against Inman was that, while a
high official in intelligence in 1980, he had acted to keep a gay in the
National Security Agency from being fired from his post. Part of the
anti-Inman tactic was a vicious whispering campaign to the effect that
Inman himself, though married, is a secret gay. Before he dropped
out, Inman told friends that no less than four reporters had called him
up to ask him if he is gay.
Is it any wonder that Inman, who had left Washington because he
hated the chronic back-stabbing, decided to Hell with it, and that, in
fury, he decided to strike back at his tormentors instead of giving the
usual bromides about "personal reasons" for withdrawal and making a
quick exit from the scene?
It is fascinating, by the way, that so many of the Liberal media, always
quick to attack "homophobia" and to proclaim that they are pro-gayer
than thou, should not be above vicious gay-bashing against political
figures they dislike. (The last time they pulled this stunt was against
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, after he won the Russian election, but of course
the U.S. media are still a bit less powerful in Moscow than they are in
Washington, D.C.)
Saluting "The Withdrawal of Admiral Inman," the New York Times
(Jan. 20) crowed that "there was no politician or commentator so
contrarian as to believe his [Inman's] improbable parting charge of a
conspiracy" between Senator Dole and William Safire. Hey, not so
fast, fella! You forgot to check with us at Triple R. Why not believe it?
Stranger things have happened in Washington, and in recent weeks
many neocons (e.g., at the Wall Street Journal) have been making
noises about shifting their allegiance for 1996 from Jack Kemp to
none other than Senator Dole, who of course is eagerly seeking media
support. And Bill Safire is a powerful leader of the neocon forces.
And, as we said above, who in the U.S. is in a position to know more
about political conspiracies than Admiral Inman?
This is not to say that Inman's conspiracy charge is proven. What we

need to find out the truth is an all out, tough congressional
investigation, armed with subpoena power, to get to the bottom of the
entire mess. None of the principals or their henchmen should be
spared. Big Media has become an excessively powerful and malignant
force in American political life; and it is high time that its
machinations are exposed to public view.
The most fascinating, but oddly enough the least reported, aspect of
the Inman Affair, is the source of the implacable hostility that Safire
and his allies have borne for many years toward Bobby Ray Inman.
Inman revealed the source in his famous January 18 press conference,
but he failed to bring out the background. The source: In early 1981,
Israel suddenly bombed Iraq's nuclear reactor. Puzzled, Inman, then
deputy head of the CIA, realized that Israel could only have known
where the nuclear reactor was located by having gotten access to U.S.
satellite photographs. But Israel's access was supposed to be limited to
photographs of direct threats to Israel, which would not include
Baghdad. On looking into the matter, furthermore, Inman found that
Israel was habitually obtaining unwarranted access to photographs of
regions even farther removed, including Libya and Pakistan. In the
absence of Reagan's head of the CIA, Bill Casey, Inman ordered
Israel's access to U.S. satellite photographs limited to 250 miles of its
border. When Casey returned from a South Pacific trip, his favorite
journalist and former campaign manager, Bill Safire, urged Casey to
reverse the decision, a pressure that coincided with complaints from
Israeli Defense Minister General Ariel Sharon, who had rushed to
Washington to try to change the new policy.
Secretary of Defense Cap Weinberger, however held firm, supported
Inman, and overruled Casey, and from then on Safire pursued a
vendetta against Bobby Ray Inman.
This incident must be understood against its structural background:
the CIA had long consisted of two clashing factions: the hard-line
hawks, fanatical Cold Warriors, pro-Zionists and close to Israel's spy
agency Mossad; and the moderates, close to the Establishment and
the Rockefeller World Empire. The hard-liners and Mossadniks were
big in the Operations department, and included Ops chief James
Jesus Angleton, and Bill Buckley's CIA mentor and buddy E. Howard
Hunt; they were headed by William J. Casey. The moderates were
strong in the Intelligence department, and included William Colby
and Admiral Inman.
Cut to the present, and the conspiracy charge by Inman against Safire
and Company begins to make sense. For one point rarely mentioned
in the media accounts is that Inman, in his press conference, did not
only mention Safire and Senator Dole. He also mentioned, as part of
the campaign against him, not only the editors of the New York

Times, but three other media powers: New York Times columnist
Anthony Lewis, Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman, and
Washington Post cartoonist Herblock (Herbert Block). On the face of
it, a concerted campaign by these people against Inman would seem
implausible; after all, Safire is a neocon, whereas the New York
Times, Tony Lewis, Ellen Goodman, and Herblock are all notorious
left-liberals. What could they all possibly have in common?
The answer is that they all have one important thing in common, one
tie that binds. They are all ardent Zionists, and the source of the
hostility to Inman at not being sufficiently pro-Israel now makes sense
in underpinning the vendetta when Inman reluctantly agreed to
Clinton's and Talbott's importuning to return in triumph to
Washington.
In a fuller perspective, then, Admiral Bobby Ray Inman does not seem
to be a paranoid nut after all. On the contrary, no one can blame him
for saving himself and fleeing back to the warmer milieu of Austin,
Texas. It is no wonder that Bobby Ray feels more "comfortable" in
Austin than in Washington, to use one of his favorite words. But it
would have been far healthier for America, and for Americans'
knowledge of the political forces at work in this country, if Bobby Ray
had stood fast, and had forced a knock-down drag-out confrontation,
in the course of which much of the truth might have come to the
surface. As it is, it is inevitable that Safire & Company will be accorded
near-legendary political influence from now on. In a town that
worships Power, Bill Safire has now virtually attained the status of a
Rajah.

Inman has been influential in various advisory roles. Notably, he chaired a commission on improving security at
U.S. foreign installations after the Marine barracks bombing and the April 1983 US Embassy bombing in Beirut,
Lebanon. The commission's report has been influential in setting security design standards for U.S. Embassies.
Since 2001, Inman has been the LBJ Centennial Chair in National Policy at The University of Texas at Austin
Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, and in 2005 was the school's interim dean [1]. Inman graduated
from Texas with a bachelor's in history in 1950.
Inman has also served on the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations, Dell Computer, SBC
Corporation (now AT&T) [2] and Massey Energy.

Inman was announced as President Bill Clinton's choice to succeed Les Aspin as Secretary of Defense on 1993
December 16, initially receiving broad bipartisan support. He accepted the post at first, but withdrew his
nomination during an unusual press conference on 1994 January 18 that shocked members of both major
political parties.

During the press conference, Inman made angry remarks about perceived mistreatment by New York Times
columnist William Safire.[3] Safire wrote paragraphs on Inmans "anti-Israel bias shown", and ended in a four
point list of other negative qualifications. Inman suggested that Safire had recruited Senator Bob Dole of Kansas
to engage in a "vitriolic attack" on Inman, and also claimed that Dole and Senator Trent Lott were planning to
"turn up the heat" on his nomination.
Dole's reaction was to state that "I have no idea what's gotten into Bobby Inman... Admiral Inman's letter doesn't
make any sense to me." Lott appeared even more surprised, saying that "I am floored by [Inman's] bizarre press
conference," while an unnamed White House aide added: "Most of us were glued to the tube, our mouths open
in shock."[4]

In 2006, Inman criticized the Bush administration's use of warrantless domestic wiretaps, making him one of the
highest-ranking former intelligence officials to criticize the program in public [5][6]

Brief History Of MK-Ultra


CIA Program On Mind Control
By Tom Porter 1996
All Rights Reserved
Started during WWII with research on hypnosis for interrogation, secure courier duties, and reducing
fatigue. Also research into effects of primitive drugs like barbiturates and cannabis as far as drugassisted interrogation goes.
George Estabrooks was the leading proponent of hypnosis as the be-all and end-all of manipulating
peoples minds. His book, 'Hypnotism', published in the early forties, has been decried as too fantastic
and improbable in terms of describing the capabilities of hypnosis with certain very suggestible subjects,
but his arguments and examples remain valid to this day.
Start of Cold War and Korean War in particular gave a big boost to mind control research with the
emergence of 'Brain Washing' as a common term. Supposedly a development of the dastardly ChiComs, the term was actually coined by a magazine writer later found to be on the CIA payroll as an
agent of influence. Postulating a 'brainwashing gap' The CIA got the go-ahead for research into
countering communist mind control efforts and developing their own to aid in the espionage wars.
Hypnosis, drugs, and psycho-surgery; separately and combined, were the tools of this quest for the
ultimate truth serum on the one hand, and the capability to create an agent who could not have his or her
mission tortured out of them, or even be aware that they were carrying secret information given to them
in an altered state of consciousness. More and more sophisticated drugs were experimented with, such as
LSD, Ketamine, and Psilocybine. Lobotomy and the implantation of electrodes were considered as
methods for creating a compliant agent. Electro-Convulsive Shock, combined with LSD, sedation for
days at a time, and constantly replaying the patient's own voice through helmet-mounted headphones
was a notorious Canadian researcher's recipe for mind control.
One of the most remarkable cases of mind control involves a famous model of the late 40's and 50's
named Candy Jones. In the book, "The Control of Candy Jones" the author reviewed hours of tapes
made by Candy Jones and her husband which revealed a systematic program to create and manipulate
alter personalities as the foundation for programmed couriers resistant to torture, where the primary
personality would not even be aware of the secret information being carried. The information could be
summoned forth via a post-hypnotic command or response to a pre-programmed cue.
Research continued into early 70's by CIA's own admission during the Church hearings. John Marks,
author of the best study of CIA mind control experiments, makes the subtle differentiation that the CIA
congressional witnesses might truthfully say that all research done by the TSS Directorate had ended,
since the programs were moved into other areas once operational techniques had been developed. Many
of the names mentioned in reference to mind control research turn up in the few references to supposed
dead-end research in ESP.

There have been persistent rumors of Navy research involving attempts at telepathy from submarines
under water, the Nautilus being the most famous of these. Detection of enemy submarines, and
communicating with our own, has continued to be an important area of conventional research for the
Navy, so it is no surprise that researching the use of ESP for these purposes would be of interest.
Communicating with a submerged submarine is the only kind of communications where the very act of
receiving puts the receiver in danger, since submarines must normally stick an antenna out of the water
for high speed radio traffic, or rely on trailing a long wire antenna under water relatively near the surface
to receive very slow speed traffic using ELF radio waves. Newer techniques may involve the use of
blue-green wavelength lasers, but evidently penetration to any depth is still a problem.

If you look at telepathy as a problem in the transfer of information in a very noisy environment, then
certain existing solutions suggest themselves: There have already been experiments in the transmission
of five distinct symbols via telepathy, namely Zener card symbols. I suggest that there is already a way
of transmitting information using two symbols only, namely Morse Code. Current ELF or VLF radio
transmission methods for communicating with fleet ballistic missile submarines to issue them their
launch orders involve very low data transfer rates, on the order of 3 to 30 bits per minute, if I am not
mistaken. Messages are very short, consisting of pre-formulated action or targeting codes. I suggest that
telepathic 'Zener Morse' is an operational technique for information transfer under severe signal to noise
conditions. In fact the use of five Zener symbols would increase data transfer rates, but at the expense of
a higher error rate due to the problems in discriminating between five and just two symbols.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS AND REPORTS
Reports of Project SCANNATE in 70's, most likely done by Swann, since his method for RV is very
similar to that reportedly used in this project; namely providing latitude and longitude coordinates and
telling what is there. Later changed to assigning random number for unique session number and Swann
picked up location anyway.
"The New Age Army:" Over the past 10 - 15 years a number of military personnel, most in significant
positions in Military Intelligence, have expressed interest in and directed programs or projects that have
explored paranormal activities and capabilities. Several government studies on Enhancing Human
Performance took place during this time. Most, if not all of them, were savaged in the NRC study on
Enhancing Human Performance, but recent critiques and rebuttals of this study have indicated severe
irregularities in the evaluation procedures for papers submitted to the NRC study, suppression of
favorable results, and a definitely one-sided evaluation panel.
Much modern research in parapsychology tends to support the idea that Enhanced Perception is a
survival-related trait from our distant past, not the tip of the iceberg as far as new emerging human
powers go. This is supported by the observation that many psychic episodes center around catastrophic
or traumatic events. Studies of Siberian and Eskimo shamans also show the development of ESP or
similar shamanic powers due to injury, exposure to cold, and isolation. Dissociation with tendencies
towards Multiple Personality Disorder also occurs in these Shamans due to their ordeals. This is in
contrast to the experiences of most tropical shamans who tend to find their powers through exposure to
mind-altering drugs.
The Vietnam war, with its exceedingly stressful combat environment of no clear-cut enemies combined
with ambush being the normal way of making contact, produced a large body of individual reports
stressing enhanced perception and awareness. This showed up as detecting ambushes and booby-traps
before they were sprung; detecting the presence of enemy soldiers without any conscious sign of them;
time dilation when bullets could be seen slowly traveling around the battlefield, and even reports of
soldiers avoiding those bullets by jumping out of their paths as they were shot at.

Dr. Ian Wickramasekera of Eastern Virginia Medical School has studied the expansion of sensory input
during trauma which would lead to time dilation, etc. This gentleman has also studied the effects of
sensory deprivation on hypnotic susceptibility in young women.

In a recent article in U.S. News & World Report, John Gittinger, a CIA psychologist associated with a
CIA front organization, the Human Ecology Society admitted to knowledge of experiments in
developing ESP by giving electric shocks to subjects when they gave wrong answers.
Recently, a Russian researcher in psychotronics, Dr. Igor Smirnov, has helped to start up a new Virginia
company, called Psycho-Technologies, I believe. It is supposed to conduct research on various kinds of
LTL technology, with a concentration on Soviet-developed psychotronic warfare capabilities involving
the use of electromagnetic and sonic waves to influence and disable individuals or crowds. Supposedly
this ranges from simply falling to influencing peoples thoughts via audio or visual subliminal messages.
SOME OF THE PLAYERS
The Monroe Institute, located near Charlottesville, Virginia. Bob Monroe, author of many books on Out
of Body experiences, has long and close ties with the C.I.A. James Monroe, Bob's father, if I'm not
mistaken, was involved with the Human Ecology Society, a C.I.A. front organization of the late 50's and
60's. The Monroe Institute has done research on accelerated learning and foreign language learning
through the use of altered states of consciousness for the C.I.A. and other government organizations.
Government interest in the more radical research going on at the institute remains only tantalizing
speculation. Official classified document storage boxes have been seen at their mail-order outlet located
in Lovingston, VA.
Albert Stubblebine and John Alexander. Both retired Army officers, a General and Colonel respectively.
Both worked at U.S. Army Intelligence & Security Command, or INSCOM, Stubblebine as its head at
one time. Stubblebine has publicly stated that an enlisted man under his command inadvertently
'mentally fried' an intelligence gathering computer located in Augsberg Germany. This was Lynn
Buchanan, discussed later.
Alexander wrote the rebuttal to the NRC paper on Enhancing Human Performance. He used this rebuttal
as the basis for a book he co-authored called "The Warrior's Edge" which describes various techniques
for enhancing performance and perception utilizing the power of the mind. (Alexander headed up
research on Less Than Lethal weapons at Los Alamos National Laboratories until 'retiring.')

Jack Houk, Aerospace Engineer, and his Spoon bending parties, done for last 12 - 15 years. Stubblebine,
Alexander, and others have attended and hosted these parties. While even Houk admits that much of the
bending activity that occurs is due to hysterical strength, people getting excited, etc. there are always a
few really perplexing feats of bending at each party. Curled and twisted hacksaw blades comes to mind,
since these normally snap if they are bent.
S.A.I.C. involvement in 1993 American Parapsychological Association meeting arrangements, via their
'Cognitive Sciences Laboratory'. Science Applications International Corporation is a big time defense
contractor, has held the largest number of research contracts of any defense contractor. Bobby Ray
Inman is on its board of directors, among others.
Startup of TREAT, Center for Treatment and Research into Experienced Anomalous Trauma, by Rima
Leibow. Leibow is a psychiatrist who started studying trauma associated with alien abductions, noting
its similarities to PTSD. She has hosted open and closed meetings for the past six years. Leibow is a

close friend of/or married to Stubblebine, which certainly raises some interesting questions. Another
abduction researcher and friend is Victoria Lacas, who happens to be married to Alexander.

One other TREAT hanger-on, and friend of Stubblebine's, is Lynn Buchanan. Buchanan offers services
similar to PSI-TECH and has worked with Ed Dames on a contract basis. He taught a Remote Viewing
workshop at the latest TREAT conference. Also offers continued training in RV skills to those whom he
decides to work with. Veteran of INSCOM, and the famous 'computer frier' mentioned by Stubblebine.
A real mystery man in all of this is C.B. Scott Jones: Ex-Navy Intelligence officer, one time aide to
Senator Claiborne Pell, founder of the Human Potential Foundation; Jones appears to have his fingers in
every 'weird' pie around. He has been involved with several UFO research organizations, dolphin-human
communications research, served on the boards of several scholarly parapsychological research
organizations. Jones strikes many people as a 'Cardinal Richelieu' figure, manipulating events behind the
scenes, but rarely emerging into the spotlight.
There is literally no conference on parapsychology that he does not attend. He has traveled and done
research with Alexander and Rima Leibow. He works at keeping very well informed about the 'pulse' of
the New Age community and about UFO and parapsychological research in particular. He rarely writes
anything for print, but keeps in contact with many of the players in the fields. He has presented papers to
many conferences, most of the examples I have seen are complex, lengthy, and elaborate pieces of disinformation which leave the listeners more confused than when he started. This is an individual who
bears watching.

leadership. In May 2005, under the new CEO, the company changed its external tagline from An
Employee-Owned Company to From Science to Solutions, retaining the former for internal communications.
The company has had as part of its management, and on its Board of Directors, many well known
ex-government personnel including Melvin Laird, Secretary of Defense in the Nixon administration; William
Perry, Secretary of Defense for Bill Clinton; John M. Deutch, President Clinton's CIA Director; Admiral Bobby
Ray Inman who served in various capacities in the NSA and CIA for the Ford, Carter and Reagan
administrations; and David Kay who led the search for weapons of mass destruction for the U.N. following the
1991 Gulf War and for the Bush Administration following the 2003 Iraq invasion.

Initial public offering


SAIC conducted an initial public offering of common stock on October 13, 2006. The IPO raised US$1.7 billion.
After the proposed IPO, existing employee-owners would retain between 80% and 90% of the new company,
meaning that the employee ownership would be substantially preserved.
On September 27, 2006, during a special meeting of stockholders, employee-owners voted by a margin of 86%
to proceed with the IPO. The initial stock price is estimated at $1315 per share, with a public offering of 75
million shares. If the underwriters, Bear Stearns and Morgan Stanley, exercise overallotment options, an
additional 11.25 million shares will be offered. The company also plans to pay a special dividend to existing
stockholders, upon completion of the IPO, of $1.6 billion to $2.4 billion.

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) transitioned a Remote Viewing Program to SAIC in 1991 and it was
renamed Stargate Project.
In January 1999, new SAIC consultant Steven Hatfill and his collaborator, SAIC vice president Joseph Soukup,
commissioned William C. Patrick (a retired leading figure in the old U.S. bioweapons program) to report on the
possibilities of terrorist anthrax mailings in the United States. (There had been a spate of hoax anthrax mailings
in the previous two years.) Barbara Hatch Rosenberg said that the report was commissioned "under a CIA
contract to SAIC". However, SAIC said Hatfill and Soukup commissioned it internallythere was no outside
client.
Patrick produced his 28-page report in February 1999. Some subsequently saw it as a "blueprint" for the 2001
anthrax attacks. The report suggested the maximum amount of anthrax powder2.5 gramsthat could be put
in an envelope without producing a suspicious bulge. This was just a little more than the actual amounts2
grams eachin the letters sent to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. But the report also suggested that a
terrorist might produce a spore concentration of 50 billion spores per gram. This was only one-twentieth of the
actual concentration1 trillion spores per gramin the letters sent to the senators.[7]
In 2002, SAIC was chosen by the NSA to produce a technology demonstration platform for the agency's
Trailblazer program in a contract worth $280 million. Trailblazer is a "Digital Network Intelligence" system,
intended to analyze data carried on computer networks. Project participants included Boeing, Computer
Sciences Corporation, and Booz Allen Hamilton. SAIC had also participated in the concept definition phase of
Trailblazer, beginning March 2001.[8] According to science news site PhysOrg.com, Trailblazer was a
continuation of the earlier ThinThread program.[9] In 2005 NSA director Michael Hayden told a Senate hearing
that the Trailblazer program was several hundred million dollars over budget and years behind schedule.[10]

May 8, 2000 - Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), through its wholly owned United
Kingdom subsidiary SAIC Ltd., and ScottishPower's Information Systems Division announced the formation of a
joint venture (JV) between the two organizations.
The JV company, called CALANAIS, was 50 percent owned by ScottishPower and 50 percent owned by SAIC
Ltd. The new company exploited the growing demand for information technology (IT) expertise in the rapidly
changing global utilities sector. While continuing to focus on providing IT services to ScottishPower, the JV
sought to develop external IT service business with customers within the multi-service utility sector.
CALANAIS, exploiting the combined strengths of both companies, also marketed expertise in business change
and Internet-enabling strategies aimed specifically at the utility sector. Initially based in Glasgow, Scotland and
Chester, England, CALANAIS employed approximately 600 people, mainly drawn from existing ScottishPower
staff who transferred to work in the new enterprise.

29 August 2002 Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced that Calanais, SAIC`s
wholly-owned subsidiary, will trade and market under the global SAIC brand. The existing Calanais brand and
logo was phased out through a planned transition period. The Calanais entity became recognised as SAIC Ltd`s
Utilities Group.

The group, now employs around 1500 people in the UK, 450 of whom are at its Scottish headquarters in East
Kilbride.
Its East Kilbride facility currently acts as a centre of excellence serving the UK utilities sector and as the call
centre base responsible for handling all UK clients.

In June 2001 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) paid SAIC $122 million to create a virtual case file
system (VCF) software to speed up the sharing of information among agents. But the FBI abandoned VCF when
it failed to function adequately. Robert Mueller, FBI Director, testified to a congressional committee, "When
SAIC delivered the first product in December 2003 we immediately identified a number of deficiencies 17 at
the outset. That soon cascaded to 50 or more and ultimately to 400 problems with that software ... We were
indeed disappointed."
SAIC executive vice president Arnold L. Punaro claimed that the company had "fully conformed to the contract
we have and gave the taxpayers real value for their money." He blamed the FBI for the initial problems, saying
the agency had a parade of program managers and demanded too many design changes. During 15 months that
SAIC worked on the program, 19 different government managers were involved and 36 contract modifications
were ordered, he said.
"There were an average of 1.3 changes every day from the FBI, for a total of 399 changes during the period,"
Punaro said. [13]

Education
Tate graduated from Villanova University in 1963 and Villanova University School of Law in 1966. He was a
member of the Villanova University Law Review.

Involvement with the CIA leak grand jury investigation


Tate, acting as Lewis Libby's attorney, has spoken publicly about the Libby's involvement in the CIA leak grand
jury investigation. In particular, Tate discussed Libby's connection to the New York Times journalist Judith
Miller. Miller spent 85 days in jail for refusing to disclose the identity of her source, an unidentified government
official. Despite speculation to the contrary, Tate repeatedly denied that Libby was the source that Miller was
protecting. Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, investigating the CIA leak, wrote to Tate on September 12,
2005 to clarify that communication between Libby and Miller would not be obustruction of justice. Fitzgerald
knew that Libby was the government official that Miller refused to discuss. Tate continues to deny that Libby
was Miller's protected source, instead, insisting that a written waiver was provided a year ago. Miller was
eventually released from jail, after Libby contacted Miller by phone with Tate and Miller's attorney's listening.

Letter related to CIA leak investigation


September 12, 2005 Letter from Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to Joseph A. Tate, I. Lewis
Libbys attorney. (http://nysun.com/pdf/FitzgeraldLtr.pdf) Identifies Libby as the unidentified government
official and encourages Libby to give a personal waiver to Miller, assuring him that communication
between them would not be obstruction of justice.

In court DaDers. Guerin has said Roda's questioning \rill force him
to choose between defending himself against Clark and asserting his
constitutional right against self-incrimination. thereby posslbly losing to Clark.
Guerin also has said that answers to Roda's questions could "expose facts" that could hamper his defense against possible criminal
charges.
Tuesday's deposition is the latest development in seven months of
legal jousting between Clark and Guerin.
Clark signed the deal March 28 with Guerin and Parent Industries
Inc., at that time Guerin's holding company.
Guerin paid $1 million of the agreement. then balked at paying the
rest. Clarkstartedcourt proceedingslast July to collect the balance.
Guerin contends that Clark used extortion and coercion to obtain
the deal, and broke a secrecy provision in it. so the deal is void.
Guerin also claims that he has audiotapes of Clark that prove extortion was used.
Clark denies he used extortion to win the deal. He argues that it is a
legitimate agreement to compensate him for unfulfilled financial
promises.

Ferranti is expected this week to report a loss of at least $8
million for the six months ended Sept. 30, in part because of the
restructuring costs from the fraud, said The Guardian newspaper.
The French firm Thomson-CSF is unlikely to complete a rescue
bid for Ferranti before Ferranti's Feb. 5 deadline, The London Times
reported.

According to IRS agent Amy

"As a result of the fraud he
(Guerin) perpetrated on Ferranti," in Ms. Jaipaul's words, Guerin received well over 30 million
shares of Ferranti stock, she and

After those shares were transferred to Parent Industries, the

"Jim Christian owned it now I hear rumors that I was tied to ISC and I am
close to several people in that organization. Why they sent someone'in to
California to see me, I don't know. They wobt answer me."

Stan Caterbone -

"they wanted me to talk to a guy from D.C., New York, a guy from the
Caribbean. I don't know what the hell is going on."

" Chem Con is the big local minority-held corporation that was doing a lot
of Defense contracts-it was associated with ISC. They went under last
spring, beginning of the summer, and there was a lot of criminal auegations
made, none of them substantiated. And I was connected with that. They
sent a board member in to see me a week before this happened. Why. I
don't know."

"the supposition was - I don't know how true it was a front for ISC."

Stan Caterbone -

"It was, I'll tell you why. Because when Chem Con was started, back to their
inception, you look at ISC's books. They didn't have any money. Well, the
f i s t thing Chem Con did was they went and got all that free money from the
government and you look where that money went. I bet I know where it
went."

Stan Caterbone

"this guy named Geurin, James Geurin. And I know that they were selling
contracts back. He runs ISC and he also has his fmgers pretty deeply into
Chem Con. He's the one who started Chem Con, Guerin is the one who
started it."

I didn't get a hold of you the next day; it was the following day which was

Our idea in coming here was to let you ask whatever questions you had in terms of the
investigation. Of my limited knowledge of the type of securities these guys deal with
and securities in general, the things that came t o interest me was the fact that there
are stock certificates in here in force with names on them that

40,000 a piece. So, Kauffman a t this point is the main factor? Or, when 1 was talking
to you, it was really your idea that put this whole thing together. I put i t all together.
I brought him up from Atlanta to be president because I have a lot of business interests
and I didn't want to be tied down to the day-to-day operation. Plus, I never had any
management experience. Most of my work was consulting, business deals, this and that,
so I actually brought him up from Atlanta to be president. And, Hartlett

we started putting it together. Are they registered as FSC? Yes, that's John Keegel.
This similarity in names is a hassle; you are going to have to bear with me because you
throw these names out at me

-----.

So then, you had the public offering which you were going to sell another 120,000 shares
and raise $435,000. That would be in addition to what yon people put in. We put in 20
grand a piece. Well, we had 5 people. You were allowed 5 shareholders

- so we put in

5. Five put in 100,000 - five a t 20,000 yon mean? No, it was a little bit more than
that. Three of us put in 20; two put in 25. What we are talking roughly is one half
million dollars? Right. Financial Management Group now is responsible for maintaining
proper control over that money and it would be invested as 5

18-25 - that was sold as a result of the public offering.

I have that here. Do you mind if I look at it. That's 0.k. I went through a half hour

of frustration to get here. I wasn't running late until I got caught in the

The

way you described it, I assumed it was going to be in the country and I knew ...I stopped
a t the Post Office. I said where is 2300 New Danville Pike. I don't know. I was here
on Friday and I drove past it this morning. You'll bear with me then.

This is interesting. I've got about 40 shareholders. Is this as a result of the 203 deal?
Yes. Did you know about that. These are all the ones that are forged by the other
guys? No, no, just one is forged.
Now, yon people were acting as your own sales

. Were those funds all

properly accounted for? Were they all collected and put in the bank and the people
received their stock certificates. Uh, huh. Who all would have been in charge of that.
Mainly me. I was in charge of just about everything. Now, we have one-half a million
dollars or there about in the bank account. Where? They never would show me the
book

- my partners - never.

They never showed anyone the books to this day. I got

shut out literally. What brought that about? They were trying to take the company
from me from day one. I had too much power, too much control. They wanted to cheat
and be dishonest and I wouldn't. What happened was we had to acquire a n interest in a
broker/dealer to assume our equity, to realize our equity potential. So back in January,
we drummed u p this deal with a broker/dealer called

and Brown out of DC.

The deal was we were going to acquire 20% of their broker/dealer in return for aligning
our group with them. What I found was

them not doing what we needed, I got scared. I had so much money and time into this
company. I went down there myself and found an empty shell

- nothing.

Now, as a

corporate office, I know how liable I am, for everything, personally. Then what I find
out is that Hebron is a born-again, just like Kauffman. Oh, Kauffman is - yes. And,
is a Jehovah Witness. I get pissed off, so I swing the whole bore, change
everything and I line us with Planner's Security Group in Atlanta
that group is Wade Webster. Bill Carter

- Bill Kaker.

- all the former IFP presidents.

International Association for Financial Planners

- the big guys.

Now, in

ISP?

So, I swing everything

around, turned the whole board over, aligned up with them. The day after I get back
from Atlanta, Kauffman calls me into his office and goes through this spiel with I
thought I was president, who's running the company? I said 1 don't care who runs it, it
just got to be run right and for the right reason. Two weeks later, I am in New Jersey
working on a movie and doing some things

- I had my lock changed in my office for

security reasons. I find that they have all these stock certificates and everything that
were in my office. You had the locks changed? You had them changed yourself, but
they still got into your office? I don't know how. They stole my files. July 1, I went
in and took all my files out of the office and went to an attorney, Joe Roda, and
explained what happened. Nothing. I met with attorneys in New York, New Jersey,
Boston. I found all these security violations and everything else, but no one could help
me. Then, about four weeks later. I called the FBC, the NAFC, the FBI, the Attorney
General, Senator, Governor, everybody. And, they all think I am bluffing.
Actually, they all thought he was crazy. They all thought I was crazy. And that was
started because of Robert Kauffman. That's what he did. The day after I went out and
got my files out, he spread rumors that I left the company, that I was thrown out, that
I was mentally unstable, that I was spending money. At that same time, I get

blackballed by all the local lending institutions. They repossessed my claim three weeks
before my first payment, with the files in it, of which a brother of the broker in FMG
is one of the lending officers. It gets ugly. That was before he spent the 5 days in
jail. I tried to get arrested. I had to. Then after you were arrested, you were in the
hospital at St. Joseph. I was coerced into going there.
No, that was my idea. I wanted him in a place where we were going to satisfy the
victim so to speak, and the police a t one point, that he would still be able to work with
them. In reality, he was in the hospital but had his car in the parking lot. He was

One of the police officers mentioned to me that he was

alright now. Again, this might be one of these stories coming from FMG. What
Kauffman did was, back when they started doing this I had a psychiatrist that was my
client. I was depressed. I mean they were making a fool out of me in public; they were
firing people that were very close to me for no reason other than they were close to
me. So I went to A1 Schultz, a psychiatrist, because I was depressed. Very normal,
given the environment I was thrown in after putting this big thing together then having
these guys slam i t in my face, then take all the credit for what I did. He diagnosed me
as having biphola, depression. My father was schizophrenic and my brother committed
suicide two years ago. The reason he diagnosed that was because I was on a low, and
a t previous'times he thought I was on a high when I put this company together. So,
what I did was, three weeks before July 1, this previous July 1, I told Kauffman that I
went to see a psychiatrist because of how depressed I was because of what he and
Hartlett were doing. They fed on that, and tried to use that to use as their alibi for

'

what they have done to me.

See, that was all started by Kauffman. He actually h e had meetings

with my family to have me committed and take guardianship over my assets so he could
buy the stocks from them a t what ever price he felt like it.
Incidentally, you may want to point out that as late as mid-August of this year,
Kauffman wanted t o buy you out for $2.50 a share or something like that. We have that
documented. Eight weeks prior t o that, I was working with the attorneys to do a 5 to 1
split. That makes the stock worth $25. Either he is ripping me off or he is ripping the
people off who are paying $25 a share.

the corporate books. When I went in there June 30, I mean I was in there. I mean it
is not like I went in from the outside; I had a plane and was flying back and forth for
me. In fact, what happened was, I was granted a 60-day leave of absence late June with
pay. Really, what I wanted to do was meet with legal counsel and find out how I was
going to resolve all these problems that I was finding. What happened was, in June I
copied everything in that office (June 30th). and I copied the books. You see, I
developed a computer system. So I just took one of the copies

- it was a big system.

I've got the books. I don't know how accurate they are because the way that the guys
kept the records, the accounting is all screwed up too. I have an idea, but I found a
lot of money going to people that should not have been. In what way? What they did
was, there was a lot of Jehovah Witnesses that were hired in that firm

- receptionist,

cleaning, etc. Then what they did was replace all the staff people that I brought in
with their own. Then, there was money going out to a fellow by the name of Tom
Turner in Minneapolis. Now Tom Turner was the biggest divisional manager in IDS. Hc
was terminated by IDS in February because of religious convictions

- another born-again.

Then I find this guy was making $750,000 a year with IDS and I find FMG loaning him
money? Is that what they are going after

- in the form of loans?

Yes. And, how much

money are we talking about going to Tom. 12-15 grand. Then. I find checks going to

Kauffman's wife. Large amounts? Are you talking a hundred dollars? No, a thousand
here, $800 here.
FSC, which is a registered broker/dealer, was an entity started by you? No. What
happened was, back in 1983 I had a dinner meeting

- I was running the local chapter of

the IAFC - and I drummed up a business meeting and had Alex Armstrong. Do you know
who Alexandria Armstrong is? Yea. She was one of the most prominent financial
planners in the company, a woman from DC. I brought her up to speak a n d I told her
that I wanted to get out of thc proprietary business. She said, go talk to John
FSC. Now, this is when Kauffman, Hartlctt, everybody was still a t IDS. So, I went a n
had a meeting a t FSC in Atlanta. At this time, Bob Kauffman was the Divisional
Manager for IDS in Atlanta. The next thing I know. I left; then he was hired by FSC to
be an officer and to run their sales force.
Then the idea of the company you a r e forming up here is to invest other people's
money? No, it is a one-stop financial entity

- provides services in mortgage backing,

investment backing, insurance, real estate, taxes, lending, portfolio management,

everything. I had it researched legally by a leading patent law firm in Phila. It is
definitely the most innovative in the country. There is not a firm in the country
offering all the services that we offer.
Now, just up the street from your place

They are

that line. I mean big. We're talking an office of 10,000 sq. ft. right here and 35
people; then we travel all over the country. When I say offering services, we have 2
attorneys in there, we have 2 realtors, 4 insurance people, a portfolio manager, 8
financial planners, 5 brokers

- I mean, in depth.

Before I left, I was working on

mortgage banking. I had started a mortgage banking operation and the minimal loan I
wa looking a t was $3,000,000. 1 bet you I bid on S150,000,000 in the first 6 months of
1987. These were loans that you were going to provide the people with? You bet.
Where was those funds going to come from? They were coming from the largest biggest
insurance companies, the largest pension funds, and some of the largest banks. 0 . K . you
were going t o be a s a mortgage banking type of thing. That is right. You were not
lending the money; you were putting the lenders together with the borrowers and you
get a finders fee, or whatever. Yes.

(--')

&:how
did you get into this? You were an initial investor? No. I've been with Stan
since he started in business in 1982. I had come into some money and I was investing. I

had lent Stan some money and things got really screwed up with

and all. FMG


told me that they were responsible f o r the money because Stan was an officer of the

company and that they would

with the funds, which I flat our

refused to do. As a matter of fact, I damn near punched Kauffman in the mouth when
he was asking me to commit a very serious crime.
Now, Kauffman's background, is decent, is it not? Clean on paper. I mean he worked
for

- clean on paper;

there's a lot of people after that man. What he did to FSC was,

he was double dipping. He was telling FSC that we were going to stay with FSC the
rest of our lives; in reality, he was telling me that we were telling them what I wanted
them to hear that we were going to do our own broker/dealer so we could obtain our
own equity. And then, I find out that he is receiving a salary from FSC up until

weeks before I left, he had the Board approve a salary of about 2-3 times what is in the
offering memorandum.
Maybe this is why the 203D

- they're dragging their feet on this.

They don't know

what to do. I did all that legal work; they don't know how to do it. This offering
memorandum we are talking about

- I just

copied this. This is just happens to be page

9 and 10 because the type of information that is in it. That is the only thing we do
not have a copy here of. Well, we have a copy in the office if you need one. It is
public information; there is no problem with it. So are the books public - I got thrown
in jail for trying to get them. Well, we will try to resolve this; it is not going to
happen overnight.
Who is Kauffman connected with here. He called up everybody I know and told them I
left the company; told them I was stealing money from clients; told them I was mentally
insane. I was doing business everywhere. I was doing business with the Japanese; I was
doing business with the President, Stoney; I was doing business with High at New York,
Boston, Houston. Everybody all over the country heard that I was insane. Everybody.

f'\-

I've been 4 months without money. I haven't paid a bill since June 30. What do I do?
No one believes me. I tried going to the unemployment office. Do you know what they
did? When 1 was in the hospital, that was over $3,000. They called up the insurance
carried and told them to terminate me

- my hospitalization.

I have nothing. The only

thing I have is what is in this house.


Well, Kauffman comes up here from Atlanta, and he's a born-again Christian, so he
comes together with a group up here somehow. You see. he's hiring born-again people ...
Jehovah Witnesses. Hartlett is a Jehovah. There were more Jehovah Witnesses than
there was anybody. But Hartlett was somebody you brought in though, wasn't he? Well,
what happened was I put everything together. But would it not be right to say that
Hartlett would be your person as opposed to Kauffman's person. Well, it is those two
against me. They are the two that are trying to take the company from me. See, I
controlled everything. Everyone went with what 1 said because I did things that were
right for business and right for people. I treated people fairly and honestly. People
respected me more than anybody.

Did Kauffman in the initial offering that you had, the preorganizational offering - each
of you put up $20,000

- did Kauffman put up 20?

He got more stock; he never paid the

other 10 for the remainder of the shares. He was supposed to put in 30 for his 50 $50 a share. The three of you put in 20. Then, he had a back agreement with me to
sell me 10; so we both would have 50,000 shares. I got that contract and he never
fulfilled that. I said no way are you getting more shares than me when 1 put it
together. I said you can be equal with me. But how did that come about? We signed a
back agreement so Hartlett wouldn't get mad. I had to write to buy about 10,000 shares
from Kauffman, 50, to give us both 50 a t anytime a t $.50 a share. You have that
agreement? Yes, he never signed it after he got his 50. It was a bad move on your
part. There is nothing wrong with the idea but do you think a t that point he was
conniving to d o

- he was conniving from day one.

When we put this thing together, I

was in the middle constantly between Kauffman and Hartlett. In fact, a t one time
Kauffman was going over an idea

- this was over a year ago before we moved

into the

office - about how he could set Hartlett up to get him out. Then, when he couldn't get
Hartlett out then the two of them tried to get me out.
Now, everything is in place and it is operational? But obviously you have a lot of

Ci

contacts to make this thing go. I'm out. I haven't talked to anybody? But you did
have initially. You already made them and they now have the

- yea, spent 5 years.

But now they've picked up your contacts really, so to speak? Exactly right. They are
acting as mortgage bankers, etc. The whole bit

- everything I put into place,

they just

stole away from me. See, I never communicated with people. I couldn't, only because I
couldn't find competent legal counsel to tell me what to do. All they did, was send me
bills. I didn't even want to send a letter to everyone explaining the situation until I got
a competent legal counsel to tell me what is right, what is wrong, and what to do. I
went to 3 attorneys and they tell me there is no violation

- and I'm

in jail for 5 days

for what they did to me 3 months previous.


Even according to FMG, Stan was with the company until July 1, is that right?

Here are 2 certificates, June 25th, signed by Bob Long, Secreta~

Of course, all of this would boil down to their getting money from somewhere, extracting
money. Either they are cheating somebody and putting it in their pockets or taking
exorbitant salaries

- is business that good that it could stand that?

We are paced to do

$4,000,000 PC1 a year, that's a lot of money passing through your hands.

, doesn't it affect those people? Are they

Now the people that are

skeptical of what's happening? I have no idea. I know the clients that 1 have talked to
to, that came down from New Jersey to find out what really went on ran the other way
as soon as they talked to me. In fact, one woman got so sick, she went downstairs and
threw up when I told her.
Well, you know the corporation, regardless of what the situation is when there is a
problem like this with you, or anyone, the corporation has to continue to function? The
fact that somebody has signed your signature to a financial management semi-annual
report. I don't know if that is a security violation, in that end of it. If it would be
corporate law, it may be, but not at the security end of it. Well, someone changed my
address. Who knows who gets my mail? I never changed it. From where? From 1755
Oregon Pike, FMG. It goes here; it goes down to New Jersey. 1 never did it; who did
it. They go through all my mail

- open all my mail, then send i t to me in bunches 10

days later. This is the Financial Management Group that does this? Of course, it is
coming to you as one of the principals in the corporation, and if i t comes in from their
standpoint, they wouldn't know if it had to do with corporate business or your business
personally. The fact that they opened it may not be ethical, but I don't know that

-.

If you change my address, that is forgery. You got to go to the Post Office and sign to
change an address, don't you? Well, I don't know. If you are no longer associated with
them

- who says, I am no longer associated

with them. The Post Office doesn't know

that. If somebody comes in and says you are no longer here, you're over there - I don't
know that the Post Office - somebody there should not have done it.
These are things that show this is not fabricated or something; they are actually
happening. I got so desperate I already wrote 60 Minutes.
How much money are we talking? Millions. That they have taken? I was Executive
Producer of the first digital movie ever, in the world. I was to get 40% of the profits.

I could have made 100-200 million dollars. I was ready to do a deal with the owner of

Turkey Hill. I was supposed to receive a check in July for $200,000; after he heard the
rumor, he backed off. How much have they squandered? How do I know? I can't get
at their books.
These stock certificates that you

42,000 shares. Stock certificates wouldn't

In June of 1987, he bought

2,000 shares of stock. Now the signature that is forged on yours is the secretary. It
should have been yours, but there is nothing wrong with the certificate as such

- aside

from the secretary signing the certificate? There is something shady about that stock
deal too. You see this is a year, not quite a year. Would this be part of the of 203
offering? Yes, everything is. All stock is part of the 2030. What I a m saying is, Scott
Robinson bought the 2,000 at $5 a share or whatever; he put up $10,000 and he was
entitled to get a certificate. If you weren't there to sign i t

- they didn't

pay $5; they paid $2.50. Regardless, they were entitled to the

shares. If they can't get at you to sign the shares

-- why couldn't

they get me? I was

in that office. Oh, you were still there in June. Yes. Even according to them. When
were you actually locked out? July 1. That's when I went in there and took my files,
when I found out they were doing that. Because they only way they could get the
certificates was to break into my office, because I had them. You had the stock
certificate book? Yes, I did everything

- they didn't

even know how to d o any of that

stuff. That's how I caught them. I knew the law because I did it. I did the
memorandum and everything.
The thing that is wrong with these certificates basically is the fact that Long is signing
as secretary and at that point, on the 25th of June, you're the secretary. As f a r a s we
know, these things could have really been negotiated a t the end of July a n d backdated.
I am not trying to beat you down. I got them July 1 - my attorney copied them for me.
That's how I got those copies. What you are saying, prior to your being locked out of
this place, they were already bypassing you. They found out that I was talking to an
attorney. Now what would they be afraid of when you were talking to the attorneys.

This is the application for your registration as an investment advisor. I would like to
see what the new one says on it. As you can see, they are all like a standard form.
Like I said, I have difficulty looking a t these things. If I am looking a t something I can
find it, but~justto look over and say its alright or whatever. But I would like to see
who they have listed on as officers. I just looked at it Friday and didn't take particular
notice other than I knew that Kauffman and Hartlett were some of the people. My name
wasn't on it. Oh, no, no, your name wasn't on it. Well if they are using FMG
Advisory, I am still President of that company. Well, I don't know in corporate law
what it takes to do away with a President at the Board of Directors meeting. I'll tell
you what it takes.

----- that's

exactly right, but they didn't have a Board of Directors

Meeting. No, the shareholders must vote on the Board. Shareholders must vote and
approve, and shareholders must exempt people on the Board. Shareholders have to vote
to remove someone from the Board. Yes, but the Board of Director would be elected for
a year to two years, whatever the situation would be. So that corporate officer would
be there for that entire period. The three of us were elected to the board for a period
of 3-5 years. The initial Board members

Whether it is true or not. Lying has become a n accepted norm for all of this. Well, in
their compliance department, all of these broker/dealers should and generally do keep
very good close track of their sales people. How can they when 1 did the deal? But
Financial Management Group owns 5% of Planners Security? Bill Kegler was with FSC
and got angry when he couldn't run FSC 3 years ago. Then he started his own
broker/dealer. This is with Planners Security? That's right. He left John Keebel
because of a power struggle with them.

But now, other than terminating you when they shouldn't have, they are not doing
anything bad? How do I know? Do you suspect they are? Yea, they terminated me,
you bet. You better believe I suspect. If they are doing that to me, what are they
doing to the poor clients who don't know anything. The same thing with FMG

- if

they

are doing all this to me, what are they doing to the clients that don't know anything.
My clients are pissed.
So, what they could do is withdraw their money from the organization whether its in the
form of stock or whatever, but there is nobody making investments
? I've got the former Medical Director

Your money is invested through

St. Joseph Hospital that owns 10,000 shares with FMG that is very upset about all of
this. He,is away; I couldn't get him last night to come to the meeting. They got 35,000
of his. He went through everything from that company

- but he still owns the stock?

What did they offer you $2 a share or something? They didn't offer me anything. But
in that letter they did. They offered me when it came time for me to get the check
because they knew what I was going to do. Well, you wouldn't have taken the $2 a
share would you, because you were talking about a 5-1 split. I would have taken i t but
I would have pursued my civil and legal rights and sued them for the rest. I went 5
days without food

- I was starving.

I had no money - 5 days without food

- people

look at me a n d laugh. Did you ever go 5 days without food? when you are worth a
considerable amount of money?
Kauffman told me that he was going to offer Stan $1-1.25 a share to settle it out, to
buy his

and out of the proceeds of that he was going to pay me the money

that is owed to me first, right off the top, I was his first consideration

- that he

wouldn't buy the stock unless my note was satisfied. You have a note with First
Financial Group claiming they are liable for it. So you took the money and put it into ?
No, I don't know who has the money. A bank either has it or Lancaster Aviation. It
was embezzled from me, I don't know who has it. But they are acknowledging that they
have custody of it? They were acknowledging liability for it. We don't know who has
it. Either Commonwealth Bank has it or Lancaster Aviation, I don't know. But you put
it in the bank? No, I didn't put it anywhere. He gave you the money, what did you do
with it? I gave it to Lancaster Aviation for the airplane. Then they repossessed the
airplane before my first payment for, I don't know why. And I don't know where the
$25,000 down payment is. He don't have it and I don't have it. But the $25,000 went to

him, not as an officer of the corporation? To me personally. The airplane is not part
of this corporate complex? No. But now Financial Management Group is saying they
will pay you back that $25,000? Uh, huh. They sent letters to all my creditors. They
told me that on 3 different occasions

- before they suggested I go to the bonding

company. Then they gave me a letter saying basically that if 1 wanted to talk about it,
talk to their attorney. Well, did you tell him about the bonding company? Yea. They
wanted you to sort of make the allegation that I gave Stan the money to invest f o r me
and that he had scuffled the money

- they wanted me to tell the bonding company

that,

which I refused to do. They took out the bond after July 1. I got a thing in the mail
about a bond; I thought what is going on. Then he told me about a week later
that's what that is

- a $4,000,000 bond.

- I said

You know the bonding company? Fidelity.

Of course, I a m thinking from their standpoint

- Financial Management Group has not

seen the $25,000. No, I don't know, maybe they have it. They might have it. Well, the
only way they could get it is if it were a reimbursement made on the airplane. They
were the ones calling the bank and the Aviation Company about the plane, asking what I
was doing with it, where I was going? They were the ones that initiated all the
conspiracy with the lending institutions. My credit rating was excellent up until August

01 down the line, never owed anybody anything.

I : (

This-is going to drag out; I will keep in touch with you. Now. you also have
investments through mutual funds through Financial Management Group? And how much
money are we talking about roughly? About 170,000. Now. do you have the certificates
for this. No, they were never issued. They are held in

with the broker, and

the broker in this case was? His probably weren't transferred yet, it was probably FSC.
So, it would still be a monthly statement from them

- so there is no problem with it

disappearing. I don't get anything from FSC, I get it from Keystone

- FSC is noted as

the broker/dealer, I a m sure. I doubt that they were yet to Planners Security. I get
the interest off that money, I get a check every month. But your investment is not in
jeopardy now, as f a r as you know.? No, but he is on disability a n d 25 grand meant a lot
to him.
Now, Kauffman wants you to sell these the mutual funds a n d give him t h e $100,000 to
invest as a broker? Right. Of course, you are reluctant to do that because you still
have confidence in Stan. I have confidence with Stan and I am not very comfortable

Here again, which you know, the broker when he is talking to you, or the registered rep
when he is talking to you, should file a form as to what you want. Now you just
mentioned to me that you are a conservative of man. I had him in government
securities.

- And

they should have these on file. Now, if you are conservative and you

give him the moncy and he starts dealing in options, he is really violating the trust that
the government and the NAFC is trying to establish between the client. I tell you what.
I feel sorry f o r you guys. You guys got a hell of a nightmare. Stan always backed me
up; there were times I pulled my investments out and put them in CDs for a while
because I was just not comfortable with what was happening. And, I tell him what CDs
to buy a t local banks. I have the utmost confidence in Stan. Mr. Kauffman tried
extremely hard to shake that confidence.
He tried to shake up my own family. He had my own family believing. Do you want to
know something. I n August, I was on my way to Hollywood to the film studio and to
see some legal clients I was working with one day
to get a night's rest. I get thrown in

- that

night I come back to my house

- I go to the police station to get a restraining

order against my family that didn't understand what was going on - I get retained in the
police station f o r two hours, get taken to a hospital. That day, someone called the
Stone Harbor police and said I had a gun and was running to the beach to kill myself.
This thing is ugly.
As a matter of fact, I would believe I am the only one left to believe Stan is still sane.
Well, I caught on real ~ u i c k . I don't believe he had anyone to talk to except me. I
didn't. 1 could talk to him every other day since April; someone had to believe what
was going on. I have tapes
client of mine

- I have a tape of Bob Kauffman July 3 telling a, supposedly

- it was actually my brother - that I was mentally ill, spending money

that I shouldn't been, and wasn't taking care of my clients. He told me the same thing.

that Stan had wasted away somewhere between $45,000 and $70,000 of his own money,

just throwing it away on frivolous things.


Every minute I have ever spent and every dollar I have ever spent, I've made money on
anything. I got my brothers in profootball

- held my own free agent camp.

And, they

were both picked up last week, as a matter of fact. I was involved in that too. Right
there. I thought I heard

just heard it on the news

- one of

those things - I heard the name mentioned, it is not

that common a name, and I heard the name mentioned in the newscast of the NFL strike
and it was like - what was that, but it was too late. That Thursday, right after I called
you, was when I got the call.
Stan held his own free agent camp so that the players who didn't get chances in the
bigger camps had an opportunity to do it. 50 people showed up, from all over the
country. The most innovative camp

- I taped

the camp, sent the tape to all 3 leagues

55 teams. When was that, 84? Yes, right there it is. And some of them got picked up
as a result of this? Only one, my brother. I guess they had to have some body. Yea,
that was a fun day that day. That camp cost me 5 grand and generated so f a r
$200,000.00 in salaries for my brother.
That airplane that 1 bought would have made me $3,000 net profit a month, leasing it
out. I had a t least 20 hours of leasing every month for 350 a month a t $7,000, and my
payment was $1500.00. You were leasing it to? My contacts, my network. With you as
a pilot, you mean? No. It's a big plane. I hired my own pilot. When I'm doing
business all over the country I can't fly commercially. I three weeks, my charter bill
was 4 grand for using another person's plane 5 times. Then, you bought this. and before
the first payment was due they grabbed it back. Can they do that? No they can't.
Why do you think I've got a large lawsuit against 3 banks. One of the reasons they said
they did it was because it wasn't properly insured, but he had insurance. The other
reason they said, he took it to Florida. Now I don't know why you would buy $100,000
airplane and leave it a t the airport. Do you know why I was taking it to Florida? I
bought a place on a n island, another very good investment. Now they are suing me
because I couldn't settle because I got blackmailed 2 months later. They said I was
going to Florida to run away and hide. I was going to Florida to settle my property.
They had to come up with a reason so that's the reason that was around I guess. But,
Pete

brother works for Commonwealth National Bank. Plus, do you know

anything about United ChemCon? They are being investigated right now by the FBI and
Attorney General. Chemcon is the big local minority-held corporation that was doing a
lot of defense contracts

- it was associated with ISC.

They went under last Spring,

beginning of the summer, and there was a lot of criminal allegations made, none of them
substantiated. And I was connected with that. They sent a Board Member in to see me
a week before this happened. Why, I don't know. Is this Lancaster based. Yes, Jim

Christian owned it

- now I hear

rumors that I was tied to ISC and 1 am close to several

people in that organization. Why they sent someone to California to see me, I don't
know. They won't answer me. Who is this, the FBI? No, this is Chemcon. I said if
you ever come back or you have someone else call me, I want a $10,000 retainer fee.
Never heard from them since. Then, two weeks ago, Jim Christian called me while I
was in the hospital. That guy hated my guts for five years. Why, he called me, I don't
know. What did he want? I don't know. You didn't speak to him to find out? I spoke
to him, he said nothing. The same thing the Board Member said when he came from
California. Asked if I could go get ChemCon another building; asked if I would be
interested in saving the company from bankruptcy

- I was working with a

guy from

Belgium, they wanted me to talk to, a guy from DC and New York, a guy from the
Caribbean. I don't know what the hell is going on. Then I find out the Commonwealth
Bank went and nailed ChemCon. Commonwealth Meridian said Christian personally signed
for the $18,000,000 that was invested or lost of the governments money for these
contracts. I don't know. I am sick of asking questions and people lying to me.
You don't have any connection with that, other than you knew some people? No, I've
got their files, I got their financial statement, everything

- they wanted

me to do

something. But you're not connected with the company? You're not an investor? No, 1
sold my ISC stock June 8.
A lot of people were saying that ChemCon. which is a minority - Christian is a black
guy

- was getting all the minority government contracts because he was one of the

leading minority defense contractors around, and actually the supposition was
know how true it would be

- is that it was a front for ISC.

- I don't

It was, I'll tell you why.

Because when ChemCon was started, back to their inception, you look at ISC's book.
They didn't have any money. Well. the first thing ChemCon did, was they went and got
all that free money from the government and you look and see where that money went.
I bet you I know where it went.
This guy named Geurin, James Geurin. And I know that they were selling contracts
back. He runs ISC and he also has his fingers pretty deeply in ChemCon. He's the one
who started ChemCon, Geurin is the one who started it. Wasn't there some allegations
about a tie with Wedtack You bet. They were tied, you'd better believe they were tied
with Wedtack. The same guys in Wedtack were involved with ISC and ChemCon. ISC is

$18,000,000 in liabilities? What they did was, they fronted all that money and started
the contracts, went bankrupt, now the government is stuck for $18,000.00. They weren't

unemployment and everything else. Did they pay the withholding taxes? No. It turns

- let me tell you about Jim Christian now.

I know right now in this town's viewpoint, I stole money, I am insane, and I am a

lunatic. I tell you I will not condemn Jim Christian until he tells me to my face what
happened. I was framed and set up and I know (I see what you mean, your experience).
I don't know, maybe Jim Christian doesn't have the money. Maybe Geurin has it or
somebody else. $18,000,000 is a lot of money and he is broke because he lives with one
of my best friends,

I mean they don't have money. And, I would think that

if he took it, he would have something. You're pretty nice, Stan, to somebody who has
hated your guts for 5 years. I know what I am going through, a n d who knows, maybe
he was innocent too. Is this Christian you are talking about. Yes.
You were going to make copies of these. I can't make copies. I can f a x them to you.
I will make copies for you, in fact, what I should do is get everything copied for you.
Well, no, because that is a tremendous expense. I would rather, if you have the time, or
can stick me in the corner somewhere, maybe say, this and this, a n d this, I a m sure we
can eliminate half of it. O.K.but you should tell me what you want and I will make
copies. I just don't want this stuff to leave my hands anymore. I can get them to you
overnight. Well, there is nothing we can do overnight. I can't elevate your problem as
far as being out of the corporation

- oh, I thought

you were going to give me a check

before you leave. So, anything that I would be involved in is going to be long and
drawn out; it is not going to be a n answer to your immediate problem.
I know, but I had to get someone involved. I had to get authorities to start taking
action for me.

they were sending 2 guys up here last week for 2 days. Did you talk to them about
what was going on? How did you happen to talk the FCC. I was just trying to get m y
money back. They promised me my money and they didn't come up with it. So, I called

them. So basically, you have


would be well,

------

they came there, I think their attitudc

no, they were curious as to some of the other things that were

going on. I talked to them a couple of times. They were curious for one thing,
Kauffman wanting to take my investment and putting i t in the stock market and working
it for me, they were curious about that. They were curious about the allegations of
Stan's alleged insanity and forcing him out of the corporation, and I think they were a
little confused about why they would accept liability for the money if it wasn't there
liability. That would be a question that I would ask. I think that aroused their
curiosity, but he also said that they have never been checked, and they are about due,
so we might just as well go up there and dig into it and find out what was going on.
As f a r as I know, that is what they did, what they call a compliance examination. I
don't know that they were there looking

-. Sincc your allegations were made, I am sure

they looked into some items like that, but I think basically it was just a compliance
examination. What did they find? I don't know. They were there though? There was
two people supposed to be up there. Were they there last week? Well, it was recent,
the report isn't even written, but the report I think will be more on the lines that they
don't have a client complaint form filed

- compliant type examination.

Proper

procedures, etc.

I am still interested as to how you wcrc alerted to it. I have yet to get it

- I was

coming down as an appointment last Tuesday o r Wednesday, which ever day, it was the
next day I called you. I had an appointment here i n Lancaster. I had gotten a call
about 4 3 0 in the afternoon from the Phila office, and my supervisor down there said
there is a newspaper clipping of your break-in of the Financial Management Group. I
don't know whether to make a n investigation out of it or not. It seems there are some
securities involved. The only 2 articles that appeared are right over there and none of
them say anything about it. They just know my name, right? They just knew that I
was involved with the company?

- it doesn't

say anything about securities there.

called me an ex-worker. That is the interesting thing about it. "burglary, theft,
unlawful restraint, robbery, unlawful use of computer, criminal mischief, and terroristic
threats." I've never seen the article. There it is, pull them down. No, that's alright.
They were supposed to send it up to me and they didn't. I'm leasing that building and
accused of burglarizing his own building.
See, he called me and said, you are going down to Lancaster. See if we should start an
investigation. Stop up to the

-- exemployee.

Christian, I think was the arresting

officer? Mathias, they said Lancaster Detective Mathias. He's not, he's Manheim Twp.,
fortunately I found that out. I called Township 2 months ago and they didn't help me.
Then they throw me in jail when my partners call.
So anyhow, I stopped up that evening, Tuesday or Wednesday night, the next day I called
you but did not get you until Thursday or Friday, so that is my association. They were
supposed to send up the newspaper clipping or whatever it was they had. But the only
thing I know is that your name was associated in our office computer file with Financial
Management Group. Your not telling me anything new. But you see I was supposed to
have this. Why I don't, I don't know because they were supposed to send it up. But
the state in their own way to save a .40 postcard, they have a messenger service to
Harrisburg. So, its alright if you get it in the mail, like if I was in the office this
morning and put it in the mail before 10:OO it goes to the central office and gets
distributed

- then the next day i t goes down and would

be there the next day. But if

you miss that 10:OO mail, it don't leave our office until the next day then the next day
in the central file. then somebody drives it down to Philadelphia. I should buy you
guys some stamp. I had to deal with the State that long so you know these are just
little quirks that keep popping up every now and then.

- a n d Manheim Twp. called in t o Hartlett as I was there.

I was there to

get property returned to Stan, and Hartlett started going through things and paying a lot
of attention to what was there, and had already admitted wasn't his. There was a lot of
correspondence there, he was very interested in, and the policeman even came to my aid
and made him not be nosey. even its yours or it isn't, and he released everything to me.

to see. Did they let you keep that? No, no, in fact the inventory from the service
warrant, just about everything on here is Stan's files, even labeled as such. Then I
found a

checking account, K & H Enterprises, Kauffman-Hartlett Enterprises,

they returned that to Kauffman. K & H, what do you think that stands for? Kauffman
and Hartlett. Well, that's what the initials stand for but what type of business? I
never heard of it. You don't know what it would be? I can imagine what it would be.
A brokers business somehow? It's something fishy. I can't remember the bank, I think

it was Hamilton Bank., Probably Hamilton or Farmers First.


In looking a t these, the only thing I can say, as far as I know Philadelphia is the only
information they had. Now maybe i t came in anonymously. I know a lot of people in
Philadelphia. This involves Financial Management Group or something or involves
securities, because the guy I talked to said, you know, should we be involved in it at
all? Ask what it is, see if there is securities involved? And that's what I did and
that's when I came up Mathias and of course he mentioned

Well, who mentioned to you about medicine. I t wasn't Mathias; Seigler was involved.
Why, how did they get wind of that? Harlctt and I were there and Hartlett was talking
!

about you taking your medicine. What medicine?

, that's a bunch of crap.

That's what Hartlett was telling him. And Hartlett was saying is he taking care of
himself and all of this stuff. That son of a bitch. He is really painting a nice picture.
Well, the cops didn't really buy it because they asked Hartlett to leave and they gave me
the information that they told Hartlett they weren't going to give me.
Yea, well they mentioned the things that you had taken, a couple of items, that they had
given back and allowed you to have them. They gave all the files back to FMG before
we were involved and then he gave me the personal correspondences, but they kept his
camera. Apparently, Stan was doing the policeman's work when he was in there the
night he was accused of burglarizing the place. He took pictures of all his files i n their
office and they said they had better keep that.
This is June 30th. It is my files in their office. That's the night I left. Who's taking
the pictures? A friend of mine. You were with someone? This was 3 o'clock in the
morning. Oh, you weren't arrested on the premises, were you? No, but this is when I
was in the office. This is when they stole my files out of my locked doors. He was

HISTORY
In 1987 Stan J. Caterbone went public with allegations of fraud within International Signal
and Control, or ISC as they were commonly referred.

After discussions with ISC and United

Chem Con officials (an ISC/James Guerin straw company), and as a shareholder of record since
1983 of ISC, Stan J. Caterbone had a meeting with an ISC executive on June 23, 1987, which
resulted in a 22 year legal odyssey. The discussions involved a joint venture with his company,
Financial Management Group, Ltd., or FMG, Ltd., but ended in disclosure of his recent public
allegations of fraud. Four years later, ISC founder and chairman James Guerin, and other officials
and companies pleaded guilty to a $1 Billion Dollar Fraud and export violations including the
selling of arms through South Africa to Iraq and Sadaam Hussein.

However, money, power,

influence and public corruption had been used to cover-up the activities and Federal False Claims
Act violations of Stan J. Caterbone for the next eighteen years. There ensued a total blockade of
all United States Courts for all redress and remedy available in accordance with federal, state,
and local laws. This included recovery of his business interests; intellectual property; real estate;
personal and business real property; his unblemished and impressive reputation; and his most
valuable asset - the ability to produce income. This might be legally referred to as the Right-ToWork under federal statutes.

Notwithstanding, Stan J. Caterbone has never made a bad

investment or developed a business that did not make a profit over the next 22 years.

This

includes two real estate properties that were illegally seized through foreclosure proceedings.
Since 1987 Stan J. Caterbone has been a prisoner and enemy of the state.

ISC was a

Department of Defense (DOD) Contractor and a partner with United States Intelligence Agencies
since it's beginings in the early 1970's. One of it's first contracts was Project X with the National
Security Agency or NSA of Ft. Meade, Maryland.
In summary, the following are facts and
INTERNATIONAL SIGNAL & CONTROL OR ISC:

part

of

the

public

record

regarding

Once the third (3rd) largest employer in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with
over 5,000 employees.

James Guerin, founder and CEO was once the largest philanthropist to charitable
organizations in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The ISC/Ferranti Scandal was the third (3) largest white-collar fraud within the United
States as of 1992.

The following are some of the public officials and politicians associated with ISC:
George H.W. Bush, former U.S. President, and Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA).

Robert Gates, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and current
Secretary of Defense.

Bobby Ray Inman, former Board of Directors if ISC, former Director of the NSA, and
currently associated and directly involved with Mind Control Research organizations.

Alexander Haig, former U.S. Secretary of State, and ISC lobbyist and Board of Directors?

Joseph McDade, former Pennsylvania House of Representative and Chair of the


Appropriations Committee who was later investigated for the United Chem Con scandal.

Carlos Cardoen/Cardoen Industries, a joint venture partner with ISC and arms
merchant for the cluster bomb who eventually sold to Iraq and other Middle Eastern
Countries under U.S. sanctions.

ISC was credited with the design of the cluster bomb, and has patents filed in the U.S.
Patent Office.

In 1987 ISC completed the merger with the 3rd largest defense contractor of Great
Britain, Ferranti International; who paid $1 billion dollars for ISC and all of it's subsidiaries.

ABC News/Financial Times aired 3 episodes on ABC Nightline with Ted Koppel regarding
the ISC/CIA defense weapons; technologies; and cluster bombs to Iraq story and lead into
the allegations that then nominee for the Director of CIA Robert Gates was involved with
ISC and the selling of arms to Iraq.

ABC News 20/20 aired a story on the ISC/CIA efforts to sell cluster bombs to Saadam
Hussein and Iraq on February 1, 1991 days after the start of the Persian Gulf War I, with
the initial bombing raid destroying a cluster bomb factory built in Iraq by Carlos Cardoen.

On July 1st and 2nd of 1987 Stan J. Caterbone solicited the legal counsel of Lancaster
Attorney Joseph Roda for counsel regarding, FMG, Ltd., International Signal & Control
(ISC); Commonwealth Bank, etc., and was billed for his services. Joseph Roda did
absolutely nothing but refute Stan J. Caterbone's claims and would not believe him.

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas), Lancaster


Attorney Joseph Roda represented William Clark, ISC's in-house legal counsel, and never
mentioned any conflict to Stan J. Caterbone in 1987.
In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas), James
Guerin deposited $1.75 million dollars into an escrow account at Fulton Bank, Lancaster,
County.

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas),


Christopher Underhill of Harman, Underhill & Brubaker, represented James Guerin. In
2005 Christopher Underhill represented the Manheim Township Police Department (05-cv2288 U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania) CATERBONE v. Lancaster
County Prison, et. al.,

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas),


Philadelphia Attorney Joseph Tate represented James Guerin and ISC, and in 2007 Joseph
Tate represented Scooter Libby during his federal prosecution by U.S. Special Prosecutor
Fitzpatrick.

THE MANIFEST OF A COVER-UP
Not only did the allegations of fraud within ISC have to be silenced at a time when merger
negotiations were ongoing with Ferranti, but all of the fraud; extortion; public corruption;
burglaries; civil rights violations; anti-trust and intellectual property right violations; lender
liability torts; false arrests; false imprisonments; as well as other civil and criminal activities had
to be covered up and buried in bureaucratic red tape.
uncovered and discovered to this day.

Information and findings are still being

Contrary to popular belief, up until 1996 a grand jury

investigation into ISC was still ongoing. It is not known whether it has closed or not. All of these
activates constitute a RICO crime due to the pattern and organization of the perpetrators. The
pattern and source of the activities can be traced back to 1987, with subgroups changing over
time, but still engaging in the same practices. The following plan of action was followed in order
to perpetrate the cover-up:

Totally discredit Stan(ley) J. Caterbone and any and all allegations in every way
possible.

Fabricate a history of mental illness.

Fabricate a criminal record.

Attach his character and honesty with rumors and propaganda.

Extort and maintain his net worth to $ zero or load him with debts.

Keep him out of any profession and or occupation when and where possible.

Totally isolate him and disenfranchise him from his friends, colleagues, and family
into a life of solitaire.

Somehow persuade the community of Lancaster County to buy into this plan of
action through money, favors, etc.,

Always keep attorneys and anyone remotely involved with the legal community
away at times when efforts for justice are pursued.

When attempts to enter the U.S. legal system arise, isolate, harass, and extort any
monies and/or possessions of value.

Change the history of events and the truth.

THE COURTS AND THE UNITED STATES LEGAL SYSTEM
For eighteen years, (from 1987 until 2005) it has always been fairly easy to keep these
issues from court dockets and judges. During these years Stan J. Caterbone had solicited at least
twenty attorneys, some from large firms with national recognition in their respective fields of
specialties. Attorneys from New York City to Santa Barbara and San Diego California were visited
and consulted as well as a group of ex FBI agents who specialized in white collar crime that are
now globally recognized. However, the money and influence of persons and entities that wanted
these issues silence always prevailed. The issues were so complex and convoluted, and involved
such high profile politicians and U.S. agencies, it was far easier to state that there was no case, or
their were no claims that would result in remedy or redress. Between the Republican Party and
the Department of Defense, the CIA and the NSA, there was not an attorney that could not be
influenced. The obstruction of justice and due process in this case is most likely unprecedented in
nature and in malice.
However in 2005 that all changed when Stan J. Caterbone appeared as a pro se litigant
representing himself, without any counsel, in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania in CATERBONE v. The Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or case no. 05-cv2288.

This case is still not settled and has been withdrawn by plaintiff Stan J.

Caterbone in October of 2008 after a successful ruling in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of
Appeals (07-4474) in September of 2008. The case will be continued upon the security
of evidence and the cease and desist of obstruction of justice and due process. On May
16, 2005 at the Federal Courthouse in Philadelphia, Stan J. Caterbone filed the case under seal.
One week later in the United States Bankruptcy Court for Eastern Pennsylvania in Reading,
Pennsylvania, again appearing as pro se, Stan J. Caterbone filed a petition for protection under
the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Code, in case no. 05-23059.
These acts of entering the United States legal system with these issues triggered yet
another round of attempts to keep these cases from the courts and judges - Organized Stalking
with Directed Energy Devices and Weapons, built on a foundation of mental telepathy or total
Mind Control.

REMOTE VIEWING; ORGANIZED STALKING; DIRECTED ENERGY DEVICES AND


WEAPONS.
Organized stalking and harassment began in 1987 following the public allegations of fraud
within ISC. This organized stalking and harassment was enough to drive an ordinary person to

suicide. As far back as the late 1980's Stan J. Caterbone knew that his mind was being read, or
"remotely viewed". This was verified and confirmed when information only known to him, and
never written, spoken, or typed, was repeated by others. In 1998, while soliciting the counsel of
Philadelphia attorney Christina Rainville, (Rainville represented Lisa Michelle Lambert in the Laurie
Show murder case), someone introduced the term remote viewing through an email. That was
the last time it was an issue until 2005. The term was researched, but that was the extent of the
topic.

Remote Viewers may have attempted to connect in a more direct and continuous way

without success.
In 2005 the U.S. sponsored mind control turned into an all-out assault of mental
telepathy; synthetic telepathy; and pain and torture through the use of directed energy devices
and weapons that usually fire a low frequency electromagnetic energy at the targeted victim.
This assault was no coincidence in that it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action
in U.S. District Court, or CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288.

This

assault began after the handlers remotely trained Stan J. Caterbone with mental telepathy. The
main difference opposed to most other victims of this technology is that Stan J. Caterbone is
connected 24/7 with a person who declares that she is Interscope recording artist Sheryl Crow of
Kennett Missouri. Stan J. Caterbone has spent 3 years trying to validate and confirm this person
without success. Most U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to cooperate, and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office refuse to comment.

See attached documents for

more information.
In 2006 or the beginning of 2007 Stan J. Caterbone began his extensive research into
mental telepathy; mind control technologies; remote viewing; and the CIA mind control program
labeled MK ULTRA and it's subprograms.

FAMILY HISTORY
If you listen to the propaganda machine and the community of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, including professionals, the family history of Stan J. Caterbone goes something like
the following:

Father, Samuel Caterbone, Jr., Schizophrenic who ran out on his family because
of nervous breakdowns while trying to run a small dry cleaning business.

He

traveled the world looking for the Blessed Mother Mary and Space Aliens. He ended
up living in government subsidized housing broke and with a severe mental illness.

Brother, Samuel A. Caterbone, suffered from the very same illness has his
father, Schizophrenia, who finally killed himself trying to live in California.

Brother, Thomas W. Caterbone, suffered from the very same mental illness as
his brother, Stan J., Bipolar Mood Disorder, who ran a lawn business and finally
committed suicide at an early age.

Stan J. Caterbone, suffered from Bipolar Mood Disorder, or Manic Depression and
had a nervous breakdown in 1987 trying to compete in the financial services
industry.

When he has his nervous breakdowns, he always threatens to sue

everyone in court and is deeply paranoid in thinking the whole world is against him.
He always spends all of his money during his fits of mania and has delusions about
his success as a businessman.
The Family History was formulated back in the 1960's when Samuel Caterbone, Jr.,
father of Stan J. Caterbone, became engaged in a black budget mind control program that began
during his service in the United States Navy as a radioman and air gunner.

Samuel Caterbone,

Jr., was most likely a direct product of MK ULTRA or one of it's subprograms. His brother, Samuel
A. Caterbone, was most likely part of the LSD experiments of MK ULTRA. Stan J. Caterbone is
most likely part of a program sponsored by the Department of Defense Agencies, such as DARPA
or the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The facts of Stan J. Caterbone's intimate discussions
with both his father and brother over the years before they died, the totality of documents that
were preserved in thier estate, including service records; letters; official court papers; high school
documents; and the like - all will prove that they were in fact part of MK ULTRA or one of it's
subprograms.
The following are the facts and the real record of the family history:
Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., (Father) served in the Navy from 1943 to 1946 and
graduated with honors from Air Gunners School in Jacksonville, Florida. He was an exceptional
student/athlete while attending Lancaster Catholic High School, participating in the band as well
as sports. He was also his senior class secretary/treasurer. After the Navy, he went on to build a
successful dry cleaning business, which he is credited with inventing a filtration system for the
solvents.

He also developed a very good investment in real estate along the Manheim Pike,

owning several properties. By his own writings and from his personal accounts to me, he was
definitely a remote viewer for some U.S. Agency with telepathic abilities.

His viewing is

documented to have begun back in the early 1970's. He also suffered from organized stalking,

and was considered an enemy and prisoner of the state.

Back in the 1960's, he was a world

traveler, this is documented by his passports. Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., may have been a covert
carrier for someone in intelligence. Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., had his mental health history laced
with electro shock therapy.

Electro Shock Therapy Experiments is another subprogram of MK

ULTRA. In addition, and especially disturbing is his criminal record with the Lancaster City Police
Department and the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. In 1973 Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr.
was convicted of forging a 2 checks from the Caterbone Cleaners, Inc., checking account. The
one check to Joe the Motorists Store at the Manor Shopping Center was never entered into
evidence, it was for a total of $70.00.

The other check was made out to Lancaster Attorney

James Coho for $200.00 with "divorce proceedings" written in the memo.
criminal record.

This was his only

Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., was sentenced to one year probation by President

Judge William Johnstone.

However, on August 29, 1973 after nine months, Judge Johnstone

wrote an ORDER releasing him from probation and ordering him to "leave the vicinity of the
County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania". The President Judge of Lancaster County Court of Common
Pleas literally threw my father out of Lancaster County for forging 2 checks from his own
corporation. In 1987 I was arrested for stealing my own files from my own company, Financial
Management Group, Ltd., You can research the life of Candy Jones and Kate O'Brien to learn
more on this topic. Samuel Caterbone, Jr., has left enough writings and documentation to know
that his life fits the model for targeted individuals, complete with economic ruin, isolation,
disenfranchised from family and friends, and of course a fabricated mental illness history. You
can view most of his record online.
Samuel A. Caterbone, (Brother) served in the United States Air Force in 1968 to 1970.
In 1991, Stan J. Caterbone accused the United States Government of using his brother, Samuel
A. Caterbone for part of the LSD experiments on mind control, or MK ULTRA. A notarized letter of
October 23, 1991 was sent certified mail to the California Attorney General on the subject matter,
with a return letter from the California Attorney General on January 14, 1992.

By his own

admission before his death, Samuel A. Caterbone disclosed to Stan J. Caterbone of the "bad LSD"
trips while in the Air Force. Since his death of December 25, 1984, Stan J. Caterbone and others
questioned the classification of suicide, and made allegations of foul play that was ultimately
responsible for his death. Finally in a meeting in Santa Barbara, California with the Santa Barbara
Public Guardian's Office, an office admitted that the death was more likely due to foul plan than
suicide.

Samuel A. Caterbone was also an exceptional student and athlete while attending

Lancaster Catholic High School.

After playing varsity football as a sophomore, he had an

unfortunate accident while deer hunting the following November.

While in the woods in

Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, his hunting pants caught fire trying to stay warm.

It left him in the

Lancaster General Hospital for months, going through painful skin grafts and isolation.

hunting accident interrupted his athletic career and scared his legs for life.

The Schizophrenia

diagnosis was a combination of LSD flashbacks and organized stalking and harassment.
Thomas P. Caterbone, (Brother) had an unfortunate transaction at Fulton Bank that set
a course of action that resulted in a suicide. Although diagnosed with Bipolar Disease and Manic
Depression -- embezzled and extorted monies were most likely the reason for his suicide in 1996.
Fulton Bank was involved in a fraud that took $72,000 from a real estate settlement closing and
lead to his total financial ruin and collapse in June of 1995. The funds were never recovered and
Fulton Bank is a defendant for a wrongful death claim in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania in CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., 05-cv-2288.
FULTON BANK triggered a severe and lethal death blow to Thomas P. Caterbone, and as of this
day has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing or remorse. Thomas P. Caterbone was also an
exceptional athlete. Playing for Lancaster Catholic High School, Franklin and Marshall College, the
Harrisburg Patriots, and even the Philadelphia Eagles.

Tom also coached football at J.P.

McCaskey and Franklin and Marshall College. Thomas P. Caterbone had a very successful lawn
and landscaping business before joining forces with John DePatto of United Financial Services and
selling residential mortgages.

John DePatto was the former head of Parent Bank, owned by

James Guerin and ISC. Parent Bank, owned by ISC also foreclosed on 2323 New Danville Pike,
Conestoga, Pennsylvania in 1988, which was owned by Stan J. Caterbone. Thousands of dollars
of equity was extorted in the process, despite still being short sold for a profit to Mr. Keith
Kirchner, an executive of Lancaster Newspapers and former graduate of Lancaster Catholic High
School.
Stan J. Caterbone is a remote viewer, is telepathic, and a federal whistleblower with
an exceptional entrepreneurial record in spite of all of his adversaries and their assaults. In spite
of the U.S. Sponsored mind control and torture, he has endured and will prevail. Legally, Stan J.
Caterbone has been able to preserve his claims, and progress his legal challenges and claims
through both the federal and state court system appearing pro se, without the aid or expense of
additional legal counsel. Some of his claims and briefs will most likely be landmark decisions in
years to come. Stan J. Caterbone was a 2-Sport MVP at Lancaster Catholic High School, in both
football and track. Stan J. Caterbone never received less than a B grade in his four years of high
school and had an 87+ average. Stan J. Caterbone excelled in computer technologies, taking his
first full term course in 1975, while in high school and continuing into college at Millersville
University, graduating with a degree in business administration in 1980.

Stan J. Caterbone

excelled profoundly at building his companies, first beginning with Financial Management Group,
Ltd., then working with Tony Bongiovi of Power Station Studios and the "Digital Movie"; then
building Advanced Media Group, Ltd..

The same was true of his

Financial Management Group, Ltd., was a $20,000 dollar investment in 1986 and

was still sold for approximately $100,000 two years later, despite the false arrests and the
extortion of most of it's real value and equity.
The mental health history and the criminal records were completely fabricated, and a
close review and investigation into the actual court records and hospital records can prove that in
very short fashion.

There are TWO (2) ways to quickly dispute the Mental Health History and

Record:
One - Review the word "Delusional; delusions; etc.,;

every instance of the word

used by mental health professionals, and the false reports by friends and family were associated
with facts, and matters of the official record, the complete opposite of the meaning of the word
"delusional". And they still exist to this very day.
Two - Review the 3 Fabricated Suicide Allegations of the following dates: August
10(?), 1987 at Burdette Tomlin Hospital (Cape May County New Jersey); February 18th(?), 2005
by Kerry Egan and the Southern Regional Police Department; and July 19, 2009 for the 302
Commitment by the Lancaster City Police Department at Lancaster General Hospital.
The Criminal Record is very similar, since 1987 Stanley J. Caterbone has had 31 false
arrests; formal charges and convictions dismissed prior to court proceedings or won on summary
appeals in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania; most of which Stan J. Caterbone appearing as
pro se (representing himself). These have resulted in civil complaints filed in 2008 in CATERBONE
v. The County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania.

THE PUBLIC RECORD


The Public Record is comprised of court filings and exhibits in U.S. Federal Courts;
Pennsylvania State Courts; and the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas.

Re: Is County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania Ground Zero for Organized
Stalking and Covert Surveillance?
Derrick,
My pleasure. Derrick, I was trying to get group rates at our new Lancaster
Convention Center Marriot Hotel last week, just as a little fact finding mission. I
have a theory that I would like to send your way. I thought it would be very
fruitful to bring some TI's together for a conference, unless you think the
exposure would be harmful.
I believe that they try new models for harassment; organized stalking and
surveillance on me here in Lancaster. Remember, Lancaster is now one of the
most "Watched Communities" in the country. "With those cameras, the Safety
Coalition will operate and monitor 165 cameras across Lancaster City making
Lancaster the most watched city of its size in the nation." See article attached,
Watching you: City to add 105 more cameras.
I believe that Lancaster may be ground zero for some of the models of organized
stalking and harassment that we TI's experience and wanted to get some
reaction from Lancaster. Some history on the Lancaster Convention Center. Dale
High of High Industries is the lead partner in our new convention center/hotel. It
is first class all the way. Now in the late 1980's I was a joint venture partner with
Dale High in American Helix Technology Company/Advanced Media Group.
American Helix was a cd manufacturer and I and my company Advanced Media
Group was the CD-ROM division of American Helix. I was one of a handful of CDROM manufacturers in the domestic United States back then. Also in 2005 I filed
a civil action against the lead hotel, the Eden Resort Inn, for trying to block the
development and building of the Hotel/Convention Center, see attached.

Now, some history about Lancaster and the intelligence community. Back in the
1980's there were several defense contractors located in Lancaster, the main
being International Signal & Control, which I, of course, blew the whistle on a
billion dollar fraud and arms to Iraq.
Click here for an overview of ISC.
Click here to see the Lancaster Newspapers Archives regarding International
Signal
&
Control,
or
ISC.
Click here to view the live video of the WGAL-TV News Broadcast of October 31,
1991 the evening of the ISC indictments. The U.S. Department of Justice and
other U.S. Agencies held a Press Conference in the Philadelphia Federal
Courthouse to announce the indictments and $ Billion Dollar Fraud.
Click here for Part 2 of the WGAL-TV 8 Broadcast.
Now politically, Lancaster is and has always been predominately Republican.
Lancaster is one of the oldest cities in the country and our courthouse was one of
the first in this country. Lancaster has one of the oldest fraternities of the
Masons. Lancaster and the George W.Bush administration has a close and very
"interesting relationship". George H. Bush had a very close relationship with ISC,
and of course the NSA and CIA all had a very "close" relationship with
International Signal & Control, or ISC. The following are some transcripts for Ted
Koppel and ABC News Nightline regarding ISC and Arms to Iraq and the
intelligence community. The transcripts are contained in my Amicus for Case No.
2006-cv-2160 filed in the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.
Now, Robert Gates, presently the Secretary of the United States Defense
Department, and his relationship to Lancaster. First of all, the attached video is
the authentic transcript of Robert Gates' confirmation hearing in September of
1991 for the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). If you fast forward
to approximately 9:00:00 you will see the back and forth questions from Senator
Murkowski to Robert Gates regarding the allegations by several members of the
U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence regarding his alleged involvement
with ISC and the Arms deals with Carlos Cardoen and the shipping of cluster
bombs through South Africa and on to Iraq. Of course, he denied all of the
allegations.
Robert Gates also has relatives that live in Lancaster County, if fact he attended a
wedding here a few months ago, on May 3, 2009 at St. John Neuman Catholic
Church in Manhiem Township, Lancaster County. His wife has a niece that lives in
Manheim Township.
Now, I'll give you the ABC News Nightline May 23, 1991 excerpt regarding ISC
and the NSA, National Security Agency:

"It all started legally, if covertly, back in 1974. That's when the National Security
Agency, a super-secret U.S. Intelligence unit asked ISC to help complete project
X, a chain of electronic listening posts based at South Africa's Simonstown Naval
Station. South Africa was using these posts to follow Soviet submarine traffic off
of the Cape of Good Hope. To ensure secrecy, ISC and the NSA made sure
shipments could not be tracked back to them. They created a company called
Gamma Systems Associates. In fact, this company was nothing more than a post
office box at John F. Kennedy Airport. Gamma was a cut-out. ... But this
sanctioned covert operation was stopped in 1977 when President Carter, a strong
opponent of South Africa's apartheid regime, told U.S. firms to stop any militaryrelated business with Pretoria. But ISC continue shipping electronics, some
civilian, some military, to South Africa. The in the early 1980's, South Africa
began to intensify its efforts at ballistic missile development. For ISC, that was a
golden opportunity because on of its top executives was a man named Clyde
Ivey, an American electronics expert who has been the father of South Africa's
missile program. Ivey had extraordinary contacts in the nations defense
structure. Begining in 1984, federal investigators say, senior ISC exeutives,
including Ivey, began regular contacts with CIA officials." You can read the rest.
The entire transcript of the May 23, 1991 ABC News/Nightline broadcast.
Now remember, George H. Bush was director of CIA. "He served in this role for
357 days, from January 30, 1976 to January 20, 1977.[22] The CIA had been
rocked by a series of revelations, including those based on investigations by
Senator Frank Church's Committee regarding illegal and unauthorized activities
by the CIA, and Bush was credited with helping to restore the agency's
morale.[23] In his capacity as DCI, Bush gave national security briefings to
Jimmy Carter both as a Presidential candidate and as President-elect, and
discussed the possibility of remaining in that position in a Carter
administration[24] but it was not to be," according to Wikipedia.
Now, lets get to Bobby Ray Inman, former Navy, Director of the National Security
Agency (NSA), former Director of International Signal & Control (ISC), and
currently part of the Mind Control industry. The following appears on the
Welcome page of my website:
"S.A.I.C. involvement in 1993 American Para psychological Association meeting
arrangements, via their 'Cognitive Sciences Laboratory'. Science Applications
International Corporation is a big time defense contractor, has held the largest
number of research contracts of any defense contractor. Bobby Ray Inman (ISC
Board of Directors) is on its board of directors, among others."
by John Porter, CIA Program on Mind Control copyright 1996. In 1994, after
Bobby Ray Inman requested to be withdrawn from consideration as Bill Clinton's
first Defense Secretary, his critics speculated that the decision was motivated by
a desire to conceal his links to ISC. Inman was a member of the so-called

former attorney who said I fabricated everything back in 1987. The document
contains a letter of September 12, 2005 from Special Prosecutor Patrick

Covert CIA Operative Valerie Plame and eventually outing her.
Now in Austin Texas in July of 2005 I was detained by 2 Agents from The Defense

from the Department of Defense Defense Intelligence Agency escorted me
outside to my Honda Oddesey and interrogated me making me confirm that I was
visiting and staying with my brother. They caused a problem for my brother's

expected. We had intimate discussions of my history and the Chesapeake Bay

PRESS RELEASE
Saturday, July 4, 2015
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Advanced Media Group and Stan J. Caterbone Proposed ORGANIZED
STALKING AND DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS HARASSMENT BILL to Pennsylvania House of
Representative Mike Sturla (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) and City of Lancaster Mayor Richard Gray.
The draft legislation is the work of Missouri House of Representative Jim Guest, who has been
working on helping victims of these horrendous crimes for years. The bill will provide protections to
individuals who are being harassed, stalked, harmed by surveillance, and assaulted; as well as
protections to keep individuals from becoming human research subjects, tortured, and killed by
electronic frequency devices, directed energy devices, implants, and directed energy weapons.
Stan J. Caterbone has been a victim of organized stalking since 1987 and a victim of electronic and
direct energy weapons since 2005. He has also been telepathic since 2005. Stan J. Caterbone will
help introduce measures that also pertain to remote viewing; mental telepathy and synthetic
telepathy in more detail. Personal accounts of his pain and torture are also filed in various United
States federal and state courts.
We are urging you to contact your local representatives and support our efforts to pass this
legislation. Below you will find the listings of Pennsylvania State Representatives.

To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is to ask for your help for the many constituents in our country who are being affected unjustly
by electronic weapons torture and covert harassment groups. Serious privacy rights violation and physical
injuries have been caused by the activities of these groups and their use of so-called non-lethal weapons on
men, women, and even children.
I am asking you to play a role in helping these victims and also stopping the massive movement in the use
of Veri-chip and RFID technologies in tracking Americans.
Long before Veri-chip was known we were testing these devices on Americans, many without their
knowledge or consent.
There are new revelations of the cancer risk besides the privacy and human rights problems with the use of
Veri-chip and RF signals.
I am asking for your help in stopping these abuses and aiding those already affected.

Sincerely,
Rep. Jim Guest

Organized Stalking and Directed Energy Devices and Weapons Bill

Section 1. Short Title This bill may be cited as the Organized Stalking and Directed Energy Devices and Weapons
Bill
Section 2. Findings and Purpose
A) Findings
1) The constitution guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their person. The Declaration
of Independence asserts as self-evident that all men have certain inalienable rights and that among
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
2) As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis wrote in 1928, the framers of the Constitution sought
"to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions, and their sensations." It is for
this reason that they established, as against the government, the right to be let alone as "the most
comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men.
3) The first principle of the Nuremberg Code states that with respect to human research, the
voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. The Nuremberg Code further
asserts that such consent must be competent, informed, and comprehending.
4)There are current regulations implementing the obligations of the United States to adhere to
Article 3 of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and other Forms of Cruel, Inhumane or
Degrading Treatment including all terms that are Subject to any reservations, understandings,
declarations, and provisions contained in the United States Senate resolution of ratification of the
Convention.
B) Purpose
To establish regulations and penalties for those who use any type of electronic frequency devices,
directed energy devices, implants, surveillance technology, and directed energy weapon to
purposefully cause any of the following: stalking, harassing, mental or physical harm, injury,
harmful surveillance, torture, diseases, and death to any United States citizen.
Section 3. Organized Stalking
If two or more persons willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follow or willfully and maliciously
harass another person and who make a credible threat with the intent to place that person in
reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her immediate family, they are guilty of
the crime of organized stalking, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one
year, or by not more than one thousand dollars ($ 1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment,
or by imprisonment in a federal prison.
If two or more persons violate subdivision (a) when there is a temporary restraining order,
injunction, or any other court order in effect prohibiting the behavior described in subdivision (a)
against the same party, they shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three,
or four years.
For the purposes of this section, "harass" means engages in a knowing and willful course of
conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the
person, or damages his personal property or possessions and that serves no legitimate purpose. *

for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family, or personal property or possessions and
made with the apparent ability to carry out the threat so as to cause the person who is the target
of the threat to reasonably fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family or personal
property or possessions. It is not necessary to prove that the defendant had the intent to actually
carry out the threat. The present incarceration of a person making the threat shall not be a bar to
prosecution under this section. Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the
meaning of "credible threat."
For purposes of this section, the term "electronic communication device" includes, but is not limited
to, telephones, cellular phones, computers, video recorders, fax machines, pagers or synthetic
telepathy devices.
The sentencing court also shall consider issuing an order restraining the defendant from any
contact with the victim, that may be valid for up to 10 years, as determined by the court. It is the
intent of the Legislature that the length of any restraining order be based upon the seriousness of
the facts before the court, the probability of future violations, and the safety of the victim and his
or her immediate family.
For purposes of this section, "immediate family" means any spouse, parent, child, any person
related by consanguinity or affinity within the second degree, or any other person who regularly
resides in the household, or who, within the prior six months, regularly resided in the household.

bodily injury to another person, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in
writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a threat, even if
there is no intent of actually carrying it out, which, on its face and under the circumstances in
which it is made, is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to the
person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and
thereby causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety or for his or
her immediate family's safety, shall be punished by imprisonment in a federal prison not to exceed
one year..
For the purposes of this section, "immediate family" means any spouse, whether by marriage or
not, parent, child, any person related by consanguinity or affinity within the second degree, or any
other person who regularly resides in the household, or who, within the prior six months, regularly
resided in the household.

Richmond council passes resolution


supporting ban on space-based
weapons

May 20, 2015

The Richmond City Council passed a resolution Tuesday supporting a ban on space-based
weapons after a lengthy discussion over whether individuals are being psychologically
and physically harmed by exotic government-patented attacks from high in the sky.
Councilmember Jovanka Beckles, a member of the Richmond Progressive Alliance (RPA),
introduced the resolution, saying it begins to address concerns of a Richmond resident
who claims shes been targeted by remote transmission from space-based weaponry.
Others claiming to have suffered physical and psychological attacks traveled from around
the country to speak at Tuesdays council meeting. One speaker claimed to have been
zapped multiple times right before his testimony at council.
The resolution supports the Space Preservation Act and Space Preservation Treaty
permanently banning space-based weapons, even though the legislation first introduced
by Rep. Dennis Kucinich in 2001 has never gained traction in Congress. It appears that
Richmond is the first municipality in the U.S. to take up this lofty issue in more than a
decade. In 2002, the City of Berkeley passed a similar resolution supporting the ban.
Conspiracy theorists believe the resolution is a step toward ensuring secret weaponry
such as chemtrails, which are trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft that supposedly
emit a chemical or biological agent, can no longer target unwitting citizens. For RPA
members on the council, the resolution is also an anti-war initiative.
RPA members on council, Gayle McLaughlin and Eduardo Martinez, also voted in favor of
the resolution. Vice Mayor Jael Myrick and Councilmember Nat Bates were the final two
yes votes, although Bates claimed he was confused by the discussion.
Im going to support the resolution for the simple reason that we have voted on a lot of

dumb ideas, Bates said.


Mayor Tom Butt voted no, saying he believes the conspiracy theory behind space-based
weapons is above the heads of city leaders and has taken time away from more pressing
city matters such as the budget deficit, potholes, and crime. Butt has complained in the
past about the RPA attempting to hijack council sessions to push a radical agenda
regardless of whether the issues are important to Richmond residents.
The mayor also pointed to a signed 1967 treaty banning the militarization of space.
The other dissenting vote came from Councilmember Vinay Pimple, who pointed out that
supporting a limitation on the ability of the U.S. to defend against attacks from longrange missiles might not be wise.
Pimple disputed what he called knee-jerk reactions from RPA members who depicted
President Ronald Reagans proposed space-based anti-missile program of 1983, known as
the Star Wars initiative, as inherently evil. The Cold War initiative was intended to
defend against USSR missiles during the Cold War and was shelved not for the projects
moral ambiguity but its perceived effectiveness, Pimple said.
The idea behind Star Wars, Pimple said, is you can knock out someones weapons long
before they enter your air space. The U.S. used Patriot missiles to knock out Iraqi Scuds
targeting Israel and Saudi Arabia, he added.
RPA members, however, argued that this issue is not just about war but about the
individuals in the U.S. who believe governments are using futuristic weapons in space for
the purpose of inflicting pain and mind control. Martinez argued that they may very well
be telling the truth. He recalled a science fiction novel he wrote a paper on during college
that predicted truths 20 years in advance.
Its easy for me to see that things which are wrong can happen because we have the
wrong mindset, Martinez said.
Myrick said he supported the resolution because he doesnt support war.
The weaponization of spaceis something I think is extremely immoral and we should
not be as a nation engaging in, Myrick said. Maybe some wars are unavoidable, that
may be true. But whatever we can do to get our country away from that mindset..thats
why I support this resolution.
Amy Lee Anderson, a targeted individual who brought the matter to Beckles attention,
was thankful that the council took up the issue.
No where in the United States, no targeted individual can get this support, Anderson
said. We just needed one person, one city. Because of that, you all our heroes. We are
dying within because the technology is so sophisticated. Its hard for someone who has
no experience to fathom it, its so sophisticated.

Hatred Against America. No one seems to talk about that subject. How do we reduce that Hatred Towards
America and the West?
See, from my perspective, my situation is very disturbing. I mean we have the United States Torturing Me, a
U.S. Citizen for no good or valid reason. I have warned EVERYONE about using my situation to feed this
HATRED towards America.

UDATE OF SEPTEMBER 27, 2015


In 2015 Stan J. Caterbone and Advanced Media Group had to again return to local,
state, and federal courts. Again the obstruction of due process, the local gang stalking, torture,
trespass, thefts, and the like began in earnest.

From the fabricated Petition for Involuntary

Psychiatric Commitment of April 2010 by Detective Clark Bearinger, until January of 2015, Stan J.
Caterbone and Advanced Media Group had been in seclusion and in a state of rehabilitation and
rest due to the forced medication by Fairmount Behavioral Hospital and Dr. Silvia Gratz.

The

psychotropic drugs reduce your motor skills and put you in an extreme state of confusion.

By

the

end

of

the

summer

of

2010

every

social

media

site,

including

the

www.amgglobalentertainmentgroup.com website was taken off-line due to the intimidation and


coercion by Detective Clark Bearinger.
In May Stan J. Caterbone had again endured the Attacks and Torture from the
employees of the Lancaster County Courthouse, and the Lancaster County Government Building.
Then soon after the Residents of Lancaster County engaged in a massive Organized Stalking
Campaign. In addition an extreme Computer Hacking Campaign was initiated and executed in
an effort to again SILENCE Stan J. Caterbone and Advanced Media Group.

And Again, the

Lancaster City Police Department took the lead role. As usual Stan J. Caterbone summoned state
and federal authorities for help and assistance, including direct communications with the White
House, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and
Kathleen Kane, The Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania General Assembly, several U.S.
Congressmen, and of course the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office.

Since August 1,

2015 the Geek Squad had performed diagnostics and repairs six (6) times due to computer
hacking. On at least 2 occasions the entire hard drive had to be wiped clean and restored.
On June 23, 2015 Stan J. Caterbone was named MOVANT in the 2014 Habeus
Corpus Petition by Lisa Michelle Lambert, Case No. 14:02559 in the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania after filing an Amicus on the case. Judge Paul
Diamond was presiding since it's filing in 2014. However, the Petition was not able to
be granted and the case was stalled on jurisdictional law based on new and compelling
evidence, or lack there of.

The Amicus was filed to cure that deficiency with direct

witness corroboration to the Prosecutorial Misconduct and Innocence of Lisa Michelle


Lambert.

In fact a working theory was filed that suggested that the East Lampeter

Police Department engaged in a strategy of Entrapment that lead to the unfortunate


murder in 1991. This, would of course, allow a wrongful death claim to be filed by the
Show family. The case is now before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, Case No. 153400. There are three (3) questions that the Third Circuit may rule on; whether to free

Lisa Michelle Lambert, or grant her her Habeus Corpus, and whether to grant Summary
Judgment to Stan J. Caterbone in all civil actions in both state and federal courts.
Two weeks later, on July 9, 2015, Detective Clark Bearinger filed another fabricated
Petition for Involuntary Psychiatric Commitment. And again Stan J. Caterbone endured 7 days in
the Fairmount Behavioral Hospital in Philadelphia.

However, this time there was

no

MANDATORY Treatment Program Ordered by the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas.
So Stan J. Caterbone continued filing in the courts for assistance and resolution. In August, in a
desperate attempt to stop the local torture campaign, another Emergency Injunction was filed in
the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. On August 6, 2015 Stan J. Caterbone went so far
as to undertake a Professional Polygraph Test administered by Bonnie Lee of Polygraph Solutions
of West Chester, Pennsylvania. The test ended up being 4 grueling hours of torture and a scam of
$600.00.
On July 9th , 2015 a Private Criminal Complaint was filed against Detective Clark Bearinger,
Officer Williams, Officer Binderup, and 2 unidentified patrolman.

The Complaint contained

allegations of torture and abuse at every moment of contact.

The Lancaster City Police

Department were so desperate for retaliation from the Amicus filing in the Lisa Michelle Lambert
case, that they actually broke the door in of 1250 Fremont Street in order to execute the
fabricated 302 petition. The Complaint was denied by the Lancaster County District Attorney on
August 8th . The Complaint is now under a Petition for Review by the Lancaster County Court of
Common Pleas.
On August 17, 2015 another Emergency Injunction for Relief was filed in the Lancaster
County Court of Common Pleas, Case No. 15-06985. The Injunction was heard by Judge Jeffrey
Wright, who dismissed it as frivolous. An appeal, MD 1561, is pending in the Superior Court of
Pennsylvania.
In addition, by September 26, 2015 Stan J. Caterbone had been granted Electronic Filing
Privileges in the local, state, and federal courts. This should alleviate the fraud and abuses of the
U.S. Postal Service and the computer hackers.
In 2015 Stan J. Caterbone identifies a trend that suggests that the Lancaster County
community-at-large was subject to either community targeting or community hypnosis.

The

community targeting theory is supported by experts Jullianne McKinney, Cheryl Welsh, and Dr.
John Hall. The community hypnosis theory is supported by direct personal relationships with the
Amazing Kreskin, Samuel P. Caterbone and Stan J. Caterbone.

In September of 2015 Stan J. Caterbone begins to digitize a library of approximately 45


audio cassette tapes from his father, Samuel P. Caterbone. The tapes range in date from 1971 to
1996. The tapes prove an identical targeting campaign against both Samuel P. Caterbone and
Stan J. Caterbone.

In addition the tapes confirm that Steven P. Caterbone, brother of Stan J.

Caterbone, was most likely a target dating back to the early 1960's. In addition, the death of
Samuel P. Caterbone on July 20, 2001 was confirmed to be that of murder, not natural causes.
In the early 1990's Dr. Phillip Caterbone, brother, had been solicited by the National
Institute of Health, or NIH in Washington, D.C., for a fellowship to research and catalog a study to
find a genetic marker for depression in the CATERBONE family.

Phil interviewed all living

descendants and relatives of my father, Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., and took blood samples. I am
alleging that this was a deliberate act to continue the cover story of mental illness to distract and
provide plausible deniability for any linkage to U.S. Sponsored Mind Control.

HISTORY
In 1987 Stan J. Caterbone went public with allegations of fraud within International Signal
and Control, or ISC as they were commonly referred.

After discussions with ISC and United

Chem Con officials (an ISC/James Guerin straw company), and as a shareholder of record since
1983 of ISC, Stan J. Caterbone had a meeting with an ISC executive on June 23, 1987, which
resulted in a 22 year legal odyssey. The discussions involved a joint venture with his company,
Financial Management Group, Ltd., or FMG, Ltd., but ended in disclosure of his recent public
allegations of fraud. Four years later, ISC founder and chairman James Guerin, and other officials
and companies pleaded guilty to a $1 Billion Dollar Fraud and export violations including the
selling of arms through South Africa to Iraq and Sadaam Hussein.

However, money, power,

influence and public corruption had been used to cover-up the activities and Federal False Claims
Act violations of Stan J. Caterbone for the next eighteen years. There ensued a total blockade of
all United States Courts for all redress and remedy available in accordance with federal, state, and
local laws.

This included recovery of his business interests; intellectual property; real estate;

personal and business real property; his unblemished and impressive reputation; and his most
valuable asset - the ability to produce income. This might be legally referred to as the Right-ToWork under federal statutes.

Notwithstanding, Stan J. Caterbone has never made a bad

investment or developed a business that did not make a profit over the next 22 years.

This

includes two real estate properties that were illegally seized through foreclosure proceedings.
Since 1987 Stan J. Caterbone has been a prisoner and enemy of the state.

ISC was a

Department of Defense (DOD) Contractor and a partner with United States Intelligence Agencies
since it's beginings in the early 1970's. One of it's first contracts was Project X with the National
Security Agency or NSA of Ft. Meade, Maryland.
In summary, the following are facts and part of the public record regarding
SIGNAL & CONTROL OR ISC:

INTERNATIONAL

Once the third (3rd) largest employer in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with
over 5,000 employees.

James Guerin, founder and CEO was once the largest philanthropist to charitable
organizations in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The ISC/Ferranti Scandal was the third (3) largest white-collar fraud within the United
States as of 1992.

The following are some of the public officials and politicians associated with ISC:
George H.W. Bush, former U.S. President, and Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA).

Robert Gates, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and current
Secretary of Defense.

Bobby Ray Inman, former Board of Directors if ISC, former Director of the NSA, and
currently associated and directly involved with Mind Control Research organizations.

Alexander Haig, former U.S. Secretary of State, and ISC lobbyist and Board of
Directors?

Joseph McDade, former Pennsylvania House of Representative and Chair of the


Appropriations Committee who was later investigated for the United Chem Con
scandal.

Carlos Cardoen/Cardoen Industries, a joint venture partner with ISC and arms
merchant for the cluster bomb who eventually sold to Iraq and other Middle Eastern
Countries under U.S. sanctions.

ISC was credited with the design of the cluster bomb, and has patents filed in the U.S.
Patent Office.

In 1987 ISC completed the merger with the 3rd largest defense contractor of Great
Britain, Ferranti International; who paid $1 billion dollars for ISC and all of it's
subsidiaries.

ABC News/Financial Times aired 3 episodes on ABC Nightline with Ted Koppel
regarding the ISC/CIA defense weapons; technologies; and cluster bombs to Iraq
story and lead into the allegations that then nominee for the Director of CIA Robert
Gates was involved with ISC and the selling of arms to Iraq.

ABC News 20/20 aired a story on the ISC/CIA efforts to sell cluster bombs to Saadam
Hussein and Iraq on February 1, 1991 days after the start of the Persian Gulf War I,
with the initial bombing raid destroying a cluster bomb factory built in Iraq by
Carlos Cardoen.

On July 1st and 2nd of 1987 Stan J. Caterbone solicited the legal counsel of Lancaster
Attorney Joseph Roda for counsel regarding, FMG, Ltd., International Signal &
Control (ISC); Commonwealth Bank, etc., and was billed for his services. Joseph
Roda did absolutely nothing but refute Stan J. Caterbone's claims and would not
believe him.

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas),


Lancaster Attorney Joseph Roda represented William Clark, ISC's in-house legal
counsel, and never mentioned any conflict to Stan J. Caterbone in 1987.

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas), James


Guerin deposited $1.75 million dollars into an escrow account at Fulton Bank,
Lancaster, County.

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas),


Christopher Underhill of Harman, Underhill & Brubaker, represented James
Guerin. In 2005 Christopher Underhill represented the Manheim Township Police
Department (05-cv-2288 U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania) CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al.,.

In Clark v. Guerin (CI-1990-0074 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas),


Philadelphia Attorney Joseph Tate represented James Guerin and ISC, and in 2007
Joseph Tate represented Scooter Libby during his federal prosecution by U.S.
Special Prosecutor Fitzpatrick.

THE MANIFEST OF A COVER-UP


Not only did the allegations of fraud within ISC have to be silenced at a time when merger
negotiations were ongoing with Ferranti, but all of the fraud; extortion; public corruption;
burglaries; civil rights violations; anti-trust and intellectual property right violations; lender
liability torts; false arrests; false imprisonments; as well as other civil and criminal activities had
to be covered up and buried in bureaucratic red tape.
uncovered and discovered to this day.

Information and findings are still being

Contrary to popular belief, up until 1996 a grand jury

investigation into ISC was still ongoing. It is not known whether it has closed or not. All of these
activates constitute a RICO crime due to the pattern and organization of the perpetrators. The
pattern and source of the activities can be traced back to 1987, with subgroups changing over
time, but still engaging in the same practices. The following plan of action was followed in order
to perpetrate the cover-up:

Totally discredit Stan(ley) J. Caterbone and any and all allegations in every way
possible.

Fabricate a history of mental illness.


Fabricate a criminal record.
Attach his character and honesty with rumors and propaganda.
Extort and maintain his net worth to $ zero or load him with debts.
Keep him out of any profession and or occupation when and where possible.
Totally isolate him and disenfranchise him from his friends, colleagues, and family
into a life of solitaire.

Somehow persuade the community of Lancaster County to buy into this plan of
action through money, favors, etc.,

Always keep attorneys and anyone remotely involved with the legal community
away at times when efforts for justice are pursued.

When attempts to enter the U.S. legal system arise, isolate, harass, and extort
any monies and/or possessions of value.

Change the history of events and the truth.


THE COURTS AND THE UNITED STATES LEGAL SYSTEM
For 18 years, (from 1987 until 2005) it has always been fairly easy to keep these issues
from court dockets and judges.

During these years Stan J. Caterbone had solicited at least

twenty attorneys, some from large firms with national recognition in their respective fields of
specialties. Attorneys from New York City to Santa Barbara and San Diego California were visited
and consulted as well as a group of ex FBI agents who specialized in white collar crime that are
now globally recognized. However, the money and influence of persons and entities that wanted
these issues silence always prevailed. The issues were so complex and convoluted, and involved
such high profile politicians and U.S. agencies, it was far easier to state that there was no case, or
their were no claims that would result in remedy or redress. Between the Republican Party and
the Department of Defense, the CIA and the NSA, there was not an attorney that could not be
influenced. The obstruction of justice and due process in this case is most likely unprecedented in
nature and in malice.
However in 2005 that all changed when Stan J. Caterbone appeared as a pro se litigant
representing himself, without any counsel, in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania in CATERBONE v. The Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or case no. 05-cv2288.

This case is still not settled and has been withdrawn by plaintiff Stan J.

Caterbone in October of 2008 after a successful ruling in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of
Appeals (07-4474) in September of 2008. The case will be continued upon the security
of evidence and the cease and desist of obstruction of justice and due process. On May
16, 2005 at the Federal Courthouse in Philadelphia, Stan J. Caterbone filed the case under seal.
One week later in the United States Bankruptcy Court for Eastern Pennsylvania in Reading,
Pennsylvania, again appearing as pro se, Stan J. Caterbone filed a petition for protection under
the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Code, in case no. 05-23059.
These acts of entering the United States legal system with these issues triggered yet
another round of attempts to keep these cases from the courts and judges - Organized Stalking
with Directed Energy Devices and Weapons, built on a foundation of mental telepathy or total
Mind Control.

REMOTE VIEWING; ORGANIZED STALKING; DIRECTED ENERGY DEVICES AND


WEAPONS.
Organized stalking and harassment began in 1987 following the public allegations of fraud
within ISC. This organized stalking and harassment was enough to drive an ordinary person to
suicide. As far back as the late 1980's Stan J. Caterbone knew that his mind was being read, or
"remotely viewed". This was verified and confirmed when information only known to him, and
never written, spoken, or typed, was repeated by others. In 1998, while soliciting the counsel of
Philadelphia attorney Christina Rainville, (Rainville represented Lisa Michelle Lambert in the Laurie
Show murder case), someone introduced the term remote viewing through an email. That was
the last time it was an issue until 2005. The term was researched, but that was the extent of the
topic.

Remote Viewers may have attempted to connect in a more direct and continuous way

without success.
In 2005 the U.S. sponsored mind control turned into an all-out assault of mental
telepathy; synthetic telepathy; and pain and torture through the use of directed energy devices
and weapons that usually fire a low frequency electromagnetic energy at the targeted victim.
This assault was no coincidence in that it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action
in U.S. District Court, or CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288.

This

assault began after the handlers remotely trained Stan J. Caterbone with mental telepathy. The
main difference opposed to most other victims of this technology is that Stan J. Caterbone is
connected 24/7 with a person who declares that she is Interscope recording artist Sheryl Crow of
Kennett Missouri. Stan J. Caterbone has spent 3 years trying to validate and confirm this person
without success. Most U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to cooperate, and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office refuse to comment.

See attached documents for

more information.
In 2006 or the beginning of 2007 Stan J. Caterbone began his extensive research into
mental telepathy; mind control technologies; remote viewing; and the CIA mind control program
labeled MK ULTRA and it's subprograms.

FAMILY HISTORY
If you listen to the propaganda machine and the community of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, including professionals, the family history of Stan J. Caterbone goes something like
the following:

Father, Samuel Caterbone, Jr., Schizophrenic who ran out on his family
because of nervous breakdowns while trying to run a small dry cleaning
business.

He traveled the world looking for the Blessed Mother Mary and

Space Aliens. He ended up living in government subsidized housing broke


and with a severe mental illness.

Brother, Samuel A. Caterbone, suffered from the very same illness has his
father, Schizophrenia, who finally killed himself trying to live in California.

Brother, Thomas W. Caterbone, suffered from the very same mental illness as
his brother, Stan J., Bipolar Mood Disorder, who ran a lawn business and
finally committed suicide at an early age.

Stan J. Caterbone, suffered from Bipolar Mood Disorder, or Manic Depression and
had a nervous breakdown in 1987 trying to compete in the financial services
industry. When he has his nervous breakdowns, he always threatens to sue
everyone in court and is deeply paranoid in thinking the whole world is
against him. He always spends all of his money during his fits of mania and
has delusions about his success as a businessman.

The Family History was formulated back in the 1960's when Samuel Caterbone, Jr.,
father of Stan J. Caterbone, became engaged in a black budget mind control program that began
during his service in the United States Navy as a radioman and air gunner.

Samuel Caterbone,

Jr., was most likely a direct product of MK ULTRA or one of it's subprograms. His brother, Samuel
A. Caterbone, was most likely part of the LSD experiments of MK ULTRA. Stan J. Caterbone is
most likely part of a program sponsored by the Department of Defense Agencies, such as DARPA
or the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The facts of Stan J. Caterbone's intimate discussions
with both his father and brother over the years before they died, the totality of documents that
were preserved in their estate, including service records; letters; official court papers; high school
documents; and the like - all will prove that they were in fact part of MK ULTRA or one of it's
subprograms.

The following are the facts and the real record of the family history:
Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., (Father) served in the Navy from 1943 to 1946 and
graduated with honors from Air Gunners School in Jacksonville, Florida. He was an exceptional
student/athlete while attending Lancaster Catholic High School, participating in the band as well
as sports. He was also his senior class secretary/treasurer. After the Navy, he went on to build a
successful dry cleaning business, which he is credited with inventing a filtration system for the
solvents.

He also developed a very good investment in real estate along the Manheim Pike,

owning several properties. By his own writings and from his personal accounts to me, he was
definitely a remote viewer or data miner for some U.S. Agency with telepathic abilities.

His

viewing is documented to have begun back in the early 1970's. He also suffered from organized
stalking, and was considered an enemy and prisoner of the state. Back in the 1960's, he was a
world traveler, this is documented by his passports. Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., may have been a
covert carrier for someone in intelligence. Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., had his mental health history
laced with electro shock therapy. Electro Shock Therapy Experiments is another subprogram of
MK ULTRA. In addition, and especially disturbing is his criminal record with the Lancaster City
Police Department and the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas.

In 1973 Samuel P.

Caterbone, Jr. was convicted of forging a 2 checks from the Caterbone Cleaners, Inc., checking
account.

The one check to Joe the Motorists Store at the Manor Shopping Center was never

entered into evidence, it was for a total of $70.00. The other check was made out to Lancaster
Attorney James Coho for $200.00 with "divorce proceedings" written in the memo. This was his
only criminal record. Samuel P. Caterbone, Jr., was sentenced to one year probation by President
Judge William Johnstone.

However, on August 29, 1973 after nine months, Judge Johnstone

wrote an ORDER releasing him from probation and ordering him to "leave the vicinity of the
County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania". The President Judge of Lancaster County Court of Common
Pleas literally threw my father out of Lancaster County for forging 2 checks from his own
corporation. In 1987 I was arrested for stealing my own files from my own company, Financial
Management Group, Ltd., You can research the life of Candy Jones and Kate O'Brien to learn more
on this topic. Samuel Caterbone, Jr., has left enough writings and documentation to know that his
life fits the model for targeted individuals, complete with economic ruin, isolation, disenfranchised
from family and friends, and of course a fabricated mental illness history. You can view most of
his record online.

On or about May 18, 2001 Samuel P. Caterbone Jr., finally received an

inheritance from his mother's (Mary Caterbone) estate.

The check was for some $70,000.00.

The estate was probated in November of 2000. Some two weeks later, on Memorial Day Weekend
of 2001, he had called me to come to New York City to help care for him.

He was in perfect

health until this time. In a matter of six (6) weeks he had succumbed to lung cancer. As per
Julianne McKinney,

former intelligence officer for the U.S. Army and victim activist of U.S.

Sponsored Mind Control, the weapons are lethal enough to kill and the one thing that I worry

about is that of dying of cancer (paraphrase). There is no doubt now that my father's death was
a murder, not natural.
Samuel A. Caterbone, (Brother) served in the United States Air Force in 1968 to 1970.
In 1991, Stan J. Caterbone accused the United States Government of using his brother, Samuel
A. Caterbone for part of the LSD experiments on mind control, or MK ULTRA. A notarized letter of
October 23, 1991 was sent certified mail to the California Attorney General on the subject matter,
with a return letter from the California Attorney General on January 14, 1992.

By his own

admission before his death, Samuel A. Caterbone disclosed to Stan J. Caterbone of the "bad LSD"
trips while in the Air Force. Since his death of December 25, 1984, Stan J. Caterbone and others
questioned the classification of suicide, and made allegations of foul play that was ultimately
responsible for his death. Finally in a meeting in Santa Barbara, California with the Santa Barbara
Public Guardian's Office, an office admitted that the death was more likely due to foul plan than
suicide.

Samuel A. Caterbone was also an exceptional student and athlete while attending

Lancaster Catholic High School.

After playing varsity football as a sophomore, he had an

unfortunate accident while deer hunting the following November.

While in the woods in

Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, his hunting pants caught fire trying to stay warm.

It left him in the

Lancaster General Hospital for months, going through painful skin grafts and isolation.
hunting accident interrupted his athletic career and scared his legs for life.

The

The Schizophrenia

diagnosis was a combination of LSD flashbacks and organized stalking and harassment.
Thomas P. Caterbone, (Brother) had an unfortunate transaction at Fulton Bank that set
a course of action that resulted in a suicide. Although diagnosed with Bipolar Disease and Manic
Depression -- embezzled and extorted monies were most likely the reason for his suicide in 1996.
Fulton Bank was involved in a fraud that took $72,000 from a real estate settlement closing and
lead to his total financial ruin and collapse in June of 1995. The funds were never recovered and
Fulton Bank is a defendant for a wrongful death claim in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania in CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., 05-cv-2288.
FULTON BANK triggered a severe and lethal death blow to Thomas P. Caterbone, and as of this
day has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing or remorse. Thomas P. Caterbone was also an
exceptional athlete. Playing for Lancaster Catholic High School, Franklin and Marshall College, the
Harrisburg Patriots, and even the Philadelphia Eagles. Tom also coached football at J.P. McCaskey
and Franklin and Marshall College.

Thomas P. Caterbone had a very successful lawn and

landscaping business before joining forces with John DePatto of United Financial Services and
selling residential mortgages.

John DePatto was the former head of Parent Bank, owned by

James Guerin and ISC. Parent Bank, owned by ISC also foreclosed on 2323 New Danville Pike,
Conestoga, Pennsylvania in 1988, which was owned by Stan J. Caterbone. Thousands of dollars
of equity was extorted in the process, despite still being short sold for a profit to Mr. Keith

Kirchner, an executive of Lancaster Newspapers and former graduate of Lancaster Catholic High
School.
Stan J. Caterbone is a remote viewer (at least one way in), is telepathic, and a
federal whistleblower with an exceptional entrepreneurial record in spite of all of his adversaries
and their assaults. In spite of the U.S. Sponsored mind control and torture, he has endured and
will prevail. Legally, Stan J. Caterbone has been able to preserve his claims, and progress his
legal challenges and claims through both the federal and state court system appearing pro se,
without the aid or expense of additional legal counsel. Some of his claims and briefs will most
likely be landmark decisions in years to come. Stan J. Caterbone was a 2-Sport MVP at Lancaster
Catholic High School, in both football and track. Stan J. Caterbone never received less than a B
grade in his four years of high school and had an 87+ average. Stan J. Caterbone excelled in
computer technologies, taking his first full term course in 1975, while in high school and
continuing into college at Millersville University, graduating with a degree in business
administration in 1980.

Stan J. Caterbone excelled profoundly at building his companies, first

beginning with Financial Management Group, Ltd., then working with Tony Bongiovi of Power
Station Studios and the "Digital Movie"; then building Advanced Media Group, Ltd..

Over the

years, despite the illegal seizures and foreclosures, Stan J. Caterbone has amassed a portfolio of
impressive real estate deals that have always paid off in profits, no matter how or when they
were sold.

The same was true of his businesses.

Financial Management Group, Ltd., was a

$20,000 dollar investment in 1986 and was still sold for approximately $100,000 two years later,
despite the false arrests and the extortion of most of it's real value and equity.

The mental health history and the criminal records were completely fabricated, and a
close review and investigation into the actual court records and hospital records can prove that in
very short fashion.

There are TWO (2) ways to quickly dispute the Mental Health History and

Record:
One - Review the word "Delusional; delusions; etc.,;

every instance of the word

used by mental health professionals, and the false reports by friends and family were associated
with facts, and matters of the official record, the complete opposite of the meaning of the word
"delusional". And they still exist to this very day.
Two - Review the 3 Fabricated Suicide Allegations of the following dates: August
10(?), 1987 at Burdette Tomlin Hospital (Cape May County New Jersey); February 18th(?), 2005
by Kerry Egan and the Southern Regional Police Department; and July 19, 2009 for the 302
Commitment by the Lancaster City Police Department at Lancaster General Hospital.
The Criminal Record is very similar, since 1987 Stanley J. Caterbone has had 31 false
arrests; formal charges and convictions dismissed prior to court proceedings or won on summary
appeals in the County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania; most of which Stan J. Caterbone appearing as

pro se (representing himself). These have resulted in civil complaints filed in 2008 in CATERBONE
v. The County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania.

THE PUBLIC RECORD


The Public Record is comprised of court filings and exhibits in U.S. Federal Courts;
Pennsylvania State Courts; and the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. In all some 40,000
pages of documents are now filed and electronically scanned or microfilmed in prothonotary
offices. In addition in both the U.S. Federal Courts and the Lancaster County Court of Common
Pleas there are more than 11 hours of audio recordings; some 3,000 scanned images; and
several video broadcasts of the ISC News broadcasts all stored on a CD-ROM and filed as an
exhibit to some of the law suits filed by Stan J. Caterbone and Advanced Media Group, as
plaintiffs. Stan J. Caterbone has over 100 court docket sheet numbers in federal, state, and local
courts.
There are also Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation records; Department of Welfare
and Lancaster County Assistance Office records; Local Real Estate Tax records; Lancaster County
Tax Assessment records; Social Security Administration Benefits records; Lancaster Catholic High
School transcripts; Millersville University transcripts; all for Stan J. Caterbone, in addition to his
court filings.

** It is important to note that as of this writing, Remote Viewing has recently
been commercialized by corporate America, and certain Fortune 500 companies are
using Remote Viewers as consultants for trend analysis and market forecasts. This is
often the evolution of most technologies born out of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Top Secret experiments and the resulting technological advancements can stay
secretive for so long.

This has recently been used in a NBC story of the Television

drama "Medium" this last season.

On July 9, 2008 I had recorded an AM radio live

broadcast on WHAN Coast to Coast with a guest that was one of the leading Physicist
turned Remote Viewer and expert that testified to this same notion.

Re: Is County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania Ground Zero for Organized Stalking and
Covert Surveillance?
Derrick,
My pleasure. Derrick, I was trying to get group rates at our new Lancaster Convention Center
Marriot Hotel last week, just as a little fact finding mission. I have a theory that I would like to
send your way. I thought it would be very fruitful to bring some TI's together for a conference,
unless you think the exposure would be harmful.
I believe that they try new models for harassment; organized stalking and surveillance on me
here in Lancaster. Remember, Lancaster is now one of the most "Watched Communities" in the
country. "With those cameras, the Safety Coalition will operate and monitor 165 cameras across
Lancaster City making Lancaster the most watched city of its size in the nation." See article
attached, Watching you: City to add 105 more cameras.
I believe that Lancaster may be ground zero for some of the models of organized stalking and
harassment that we TI's experience and wanted to get some reaction from Lancaster. Some
history on the Lancaster Convention Center. Dale High of High Industries is the lead partner in our
new convention center/hotel. It is first class all the way. Now in the late 1980's I was a joint
venture partner with Dale High in American Helix Technology Company/Advanced Media Group.
American Helix was a cd manufacturer and I and my company Advanced Media Group was the
CD-ROM division of American Helix. I was one of a handful of CD-ROM manufacturers in the
domestic United States back then. Also in 2005 I filed a civil action against the lead hotel, the
Eden Resort Inn, for trying to block the development and building of the Hotel/Convention Center,
see
attached.
Now, some history about Lancaster and the intelligence community. Back in the 1980's there were
several defense contractors located in Lancaster, the main being International Signal & Control,
which I, of course, blew the whistle on a billion dollar fraud and arms to Iraq.
Click here for an overview of ISC.
Click here to see the Lancaster Newspapers Archives regarding International Signal & Control, or
ISC.
Click here to view the live video of the WGAL-TV News Broadcast of October 31, 1991 the evening
of the ISC indictments. The U.S. Department of Justice and other U.S. Agencies held a Press
Conference in the Philadelphia Federal Courthouse to announce the indictments and $ Billion
Dollar Fraud.

Now politically, Lancaster is and has always been predominately Republican. Lancaster is one of
the oldest cities in the country and our courthouse was one of the first in this country. Lancaster
has one of the oldest fraternities of the Masons. Lancaster and the George W.Bush administration
has a close and very "interesting relationship". George H. Bush had a very close relationship with
ISC, and of course the NSA and CIA all had a very "close" relationship with International Signal &
Control, or ISC. The following are some transcripts for Ted Koppel and ABC News Nightline
regarding ISC and Arms to Iraq and the intelligence community. The transcripts are contained in
my Amicus for Case No. 2006-cv-2160 filed in the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.
Now, Robert Gates, presently the Secretary of the United States Defense Department, and his
relationship to Lancaster. First of all, the attached video is the authentic transcript of Robert
Gates' confirmation hearing in September of 1991 for the Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA). If you fast forward to approximately 9:00:00 you will see the back and forth
questions from Senator Murkowski to Robert Gates regarding the allegations by several members
of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence regarding his alleged involvement with ISC
and the Arms deals with Carlos Cardoen and the shipping of cluster bombs through South Africa
and on to Iraq. Of course, he denied all of the allegations.
Robert Gates also has relatives that live in Lancaster County, if fact he attended a wedding here a
few months ago, on May 3, 2009 at St. John Neuman Catholic Church in Manhiem Township,
Lancaster County. His wife has a niece that lives in Manheim Township.
Now, I'll give you the ABC News Nightline May 23, 1991 excerpt regarding ISC and the NSA,
National Security Agency:
"It all started legally, if covertly, back in 1974. That's when the National Security Agency, a supersecret U.S. Intelligence unit asked ISC to help complete project X, a chain of electronic listening
posts based at South Africa's Simonstown Naval Station. South Africa was using these posts to
follow Soviet submarine traffic off of the Cape of Good Hope. To ensure secrecy, ISC and the NSA
made sure shipments could not be tracked back to them. They created a company called Gamma
Systems Associates. In fact, this company was nothing more than a post office box at John F.
Kennedy Airport. Gamma was a cut-out. ... But this sanctioned covert operation was stopped in
1977 when President Carter, a strong opponent of South Africa's apartheid regime, told U.S. firms
to stop any military-related business with Pretoria. But ISC continue shipping electronics, some
civilian, some military, to South Africa. The in the early 1980's, South Africa began to intensify its
efforts at ballistic missile development. For ISC, that was a golden opportunity because on of its
top executives was a man named Clyde Ivey, an American electronics expert who has been the
father of South Africa's missile program. Ivey had extraordinary contacts in the nations defense
structure. Begining in 1984, federal investigators say, senior ISC exeutives, including Ivey, began
regular contacts with CIA officials." You can read the rest. The entire transcript of the May 23,
1991 ABC News/Nightline broadcast.
Now remember, George H. Bush was director of CIA. "He served in this role for 357 days, from
January 30, 1976 to January 20, 1977.[22] The CIA had been rocked by a series of revelations,
including those based on investigations by Senator Frank Church's Committee regarding illegal
and unauthorized activities by the CIA, and Bush was credited with helping to restore the
agency's morale.[23] In his capacity as DCI, Bush gave national security briefings to Jimmy
Carter both as a Presidential candidate and as President-elect, and discussed the possibility of
remaining in that position in a Carter administration[24] but it was not to be," according to
Wikipedia.
Now, lets get to Bobby Ray Inman, former Navy, Director of the National Security Agency (NSA),
former Director of International Signal & Control (ISC), and currently part of the Mind Control
industry. The following appears on the Welcome page of my website:

"S.A.I.C. involvement in 1993 American Para psychological Association meeting arrangements, via
their 'Cognitive Sciences Laboratory'. Science Applications International Corporation is a big time
defense contractor, has held the largest number of research contracts of any defense contractor.
Bobby Ray Inman (ISC Board of Directors) is on its board of directors, among others."
by John Porter, CIA Program on Mind Control copyright 1996. In 1994, after Bobby Ray Inman
requested to be withdrawn from consideration as Bill Clinton's first Defense Secretary, his critics
speculated that the decision was motivated by a desire to conceal his links to ISC. Inman was a
member of the so-called "shadow board" of the company which was allegedly either negligent or
approved the exports." by Wikipedia on International Signal and Control, (ISC).
Now, lets list the former Navy personnel:
George H. Bush, former President of the United States, former Director of CIA.
James Guerin, President and Founder of International Signal & Control.
Bobby Ray Inman, former Director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and Director of
International Signal & Control, (ISC).
My father, Samuel P. Cateronne, Jr.
His father, Samuel J. Caterbone, Sr.
George Noory, of Coast to Coast Radio (just anecdotal, nothing assumed or alleged).
George W. Bush flew with the Navy.
James Cross
I will Finish later and add more.
Next we get to Jim Guerin's attorney back in 1989 through at least 1992. His name was Joseph
Tate, of Philadelpha. This link will take you to a document regarding Joseph Tate, James Guerin
and Joseph Roda, Esq., of Lancaster, my former attorney who said I fabricated everything back in
1987. The document contains a letter of September 12, 2005 from Special Prosecutor Patrick
Fitzgerald regarding Scooter Libby, Former Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff. the letter
involves Scooter Libby's Grand Jury Indictment for leaking Covert CIA Operative Valerie Plame
and eventually outing her.
Now in Austin Texas in July of 2005 I was detained by 2 Agents from The Defense Intelligence
Agency. I was merely visiting a Military Museum, that had old and vintage helicopters and
airplanes. near where my brother, Dr. Phillip Caterbone lived. I was visiting on my way to
California. While inside the museum 2 Agents from the Department of Defense Defense
Intelligence Agency escorted me outside to my Honda Oddesey and interrogated me making me
confirm that I was visiting and staying with my brother. They caused a problem for my brother's
Medical Practice by shaking up one of his secretaries. The reviewed my court documents for
CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., Case No. 2005-cv-0288 filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The demanded that I stay off all military bases
before releasing me.
In 2006 I was telepathic with an older NSA executive on many occasions who wanted to meet me
at the Clipper Stadium who told me he wanted to rent a facility in Lancaster for a training
exercise. I told him to to and see Dale High and the High Group for space at the Greenfield
Industrial Park. He said he was retiring and that our discussions were keeping him a few weeks
longer than expected. We had intimate discussions of my history and the Chesapeake Bay Area.
We also discussed Sheryl Crow, and he told me his wife was a fan. I turned him on to her new
album, Wildflower, and he said she liked it. We had to disengage because he was being harassed
by other telepathic assailants.
My former secretary (Susan Bare) at Pflumm Contractors, Inc., where I was controller and was
hired to rescue the company from near bankruptcy in 1993, told me that her husband, Ross Bare,
who grew up just some 10 or so doors from me, worked for the NSA. She disclosed this soon
after I hired her in 1994 or 1995.
I will finish later and add to this allegation. This is a work-in-progress.

AFFIDAVIT
BE IT ACKNOWLEDGED, that Stanley J. Caterbone, Financial Management Group, Ltd.,
FMG Advisory, and and all affiliates, Pro Financial Group, Ltd., Advanced Media Group, Advanced
Media Group, Ltd., Global Entertainment Group, Ltd., Power Productions I, Radio Science
Laboratories, Ltd., of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the undersigned deponent, being of legal
age, does hereby depose and say under oath as follows:

I am now convinced that the situation surrounding my litigation and all factors attributed
to my financial and professional demise bore out of the fact that my Father, Samuel P. Caterbone
was a victim of U.S. Sponsored Mind Control, in the truest sense of the words.

The

whistleblowing activities of 1987 either were a coincidence or I was set up in the very beginning
by Pennsylvania State Senator Gibson Armstrong (former stock broker) in 1983 when he solicited
me to purchase the ISC stock. The preceding would have been the perfect cover story for my
demise; that I was involved in a fraud. Following this analysis would lead one to conclude that
the collateral damage from the activities of my financial ruin always left my fellow businesses in
financial ruin, for example Robert Kauffman and Michael Hartlett, partners, and the shareholders
and affiliated professionals of Financial Management Group, Ltd., Tony Bongiovi and Power Station
Studios, Jim and Lynn Cross as Cross Microwave Consultants, Dave Dering, Scott Robertson, and
James Boyer as American Helix/High Industries, Ralph Mazzochi and Gallo Rosa Restaurant;
Pflumm Contractors, Inc., Mike Caterbone's AIM Wholesaler's Business, Dr. Phillip Caterbone, D.O.
And associated Primary Care Practices of Austin, Texas, Sam Lombardo and Ralph Mazzochi as
S.N. Lombardo Associates for Lancaster Avenue Project, Sheryl Crow Singer Songwriter, my
immediate family, friends, and relatives.

Following this analysis would lead one to concur that the legal and financial remedies
would only be reconciled by the above named parties enjoining my civil litigation. This AFFIDAVIT
is to be considered a legal and binding document to accomplish that remedy.

AFFIDAVIT

I, Stanley J. Caterbone, Targeted Individual or TI, residing at: 1250 Fremont Street,
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 17603, do hereby state that I am at least 18 years of age, that I am
a citizen or a legal resident of the United States of America, that I am of sound mind, and that I
am the person whose signature follows on this Affidavit. The purpose of this document is (1) to
advise Congress as well as state and local officials of organized stalking and electronic and mind
manipulation torture being committed against me and (2) to request a state, local, or
Congressional investigation and hearing on the use of remotely-operated directed energy attacks
and mind control technologies on Americans in this country.
Our Government is responsible for protecting its citizens from elements that
covertly harass, torment, murder, and cause victims to commit suicide through
organized stalking and remote electronic torture. Yet, unbiased research indicates that
certain elements of Government either engage in these activities or protect those who perform
them. I seek the complete dismantling of any officially-sanctioned covert Government torture
programs, the passage of legislation specifically outlawing that high-tech torture, and the full
prosecution of any person, regardless of his rank or position, who has violated my civil rights and
my most basic human rights. The assaults on my mind and body have been occurring for 24
year(s) and include, but are not limited to the following victimization's:

1.

Blanketing my dwelling and surroundings with electromagnetic energy.


Bombarding my body with debilitating electronic and mind manipulation effects.
Directed Energy Weapons Causing Severe Pain to Body and Brain. Began in at least 2005
and still continuing, with complaints to Freedom From Covert Harassment and Surveillance, FFCHS
in 2009, and in cited in various state and federal court cases over the past several years.
Attacks causing severe artificial pain most likely from Directed Energy Devices synchronized with
telepathic harassment and organized stalking and harassment have been logged and reported to
law enforcement and medical professionals since 2008.
Prior to 2008 the attacks were
experienced and reported to medical professionals but the sources were not known. Also reported
attacks of pain to a family physician, emergency room personnel and psychiatrists.

2.
Invading my thoughts via remote sensing technologies. Was sent an autonomous
email in 1998 introducing the term remote viewing. Various technologies and tactics are being
used to create emotional signatures that induce various emotional states; a systematic complete
hacking of my mind.
3.

Making me mentally hear others' voices through the microwave hearing effect.
Synthetic and/or Mental Telepathy. First started to experience telepathy/synthetic telepathy
in 2005 with full-time 24/7 connection during the same time to present. When full-time telepathy
started a male conducted interrogations lasting several hours at a time concerning a wealth of
subjects including ISC/CIA Knowledge. Cannot disconnect from continuous conversations at all
times with one female person. The handlers know everything I know and experience in real time.
During 2006 and 2007 have been telepathic with some 10 or more persons, both male and female
for short durations. Can recall most conversations and subject matter with identities of who they
said they were. Interrogation type harassment is still being used telepathically to harass and for
some sleep deprivation. Made first complaints to DARPA, the FBI, and U.S. Senator Arlen Specter
in 2007. Some conversations by the persons that are telepathic with me elude to some program
similar to the DARPA datalog program where they record your entire life. Everything that you try
to do on a daily basis is subject matter for conversation and harassment. Interference with
thought, harassment, and interrogation is used often times with electromagnetic weapon attacks
to the brain or body.

4.
Depriving me of sleep due to neurological intervention. Mostly Experienced Sleep
Deprivation Techniques during periods of time in 2008 to 2010. Mostly with attacks of pain from
Directed Energy Weapons to back, neck, head (brain); and heart on a few occasions; and with
harassment from telepathy.
5.

Introducing poisonous gas and radiation toxins into my home. First experienced
toxic gases (Chloroform?) in heavy doses in 2006-2007. Made complaints to the Lancaster City
Police Department and the Southern Regional Police. Experienced attacks that would cause
dizziness at home, in automobile and in public. Was informed it was being released through a
distribution system the size of fishing line. To counter attacks used cotton in nostrils and gas
mask. In 2009 experienced attacks of what is said to be sleeping gas, when attacked could not
open eyes. Took Pictures during some attacks.

6.
Having me stalked en masse on foot and in vehicles. vandalizing my home and/or
car. Gang Stalking or Organized Stalking began in 1987 and continues today. It includes
strangers using gestures such as finger under eye; various forms of harassment; and public
mobbing. Complaints have been filed in 1987; 1992;1998 and 2005 to 2010. Complaints were
made to various public officials and local, state, and federal agencies as mental duress. The terms
organized stalking, gang stalking, targeted individual, etc., was not learned until a few years ago.
The organized stalking and harassment followed in several states, some while traveling from
Lancaster, Pennsylvania to California. Tracking technologies may have been used and most likely
are still being used. Police were involved in most places.
7.

Tapping (Bugging) my phones. Complaints of phone tapping/tampering were made to


New Jersey Bell in 1987 with a service call to Stone Harbor, New Jersey to check lines and phones.
The same was done by a Bell Atlantic repairman in Conestoga, Pennsylvania in 1998. In 2004 a
complaint with a report number was filed with the Pennsylvania Attorney General Office in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Agent Amy Zelnick) regarding interference with phone calls and
impersonations by perps intercepting and rerouting calls. Computer Hacking complaints were filed
to local authorities in the County of Lancaster and the Cyber Crime unit of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation in 2005 to 2010.

8.
Blacklisting me in the labor market. Filed complains of employment discrimination with
the Pennsylvania Attorney General in 2006 and the Lancaster County Human Relations
Commission in 2008.
9.

Workplace mobbing. Experienced in 1987 at Financial Management Group, Ltd.,


American Helix of High Industries in 1991 and Pflumm Contractors, Inc., in 1997/1998. Filed
complaints and logs as mental duress and harassment. Was forced out of all 3 organizations as a
result of the mobbing and harassment.

10. Public Mobbing. Public type mobbing and organized stalking and harassment was
perpetrated heavily in the years 2005 to 2010 in the following places: The Lancaster County
Courthouse, The Lancaster County Public Library, the Pennsylvania Career Link, and the Millersville
University Library and University Offices. I was given suspicious and illegal No Trespass Notices
in some 18 public places in Lancaster County in the years 2005 to 2009 without just cause. I was
complaining of stalking and harassing in most all of those public places. The Lancaster County
Public Library and the Millersville University took away my access to a computer after my personal
computers were vandalized and/or hacked inoperable. Fulton Bank took away my safe deposit
box. Others included my church of worship, various bars and restaurants and one attorneys office.
Complaints have been filed regarding the same in courts and with various authorities.

11.

Attempted Murder. Experienced with an attempt of vehicular homicide in 1991 after


National News Media reported ISC/CIA-NSA connection of Arms to Irag. The incident involved a
vehicle changing lanes and direction and heading directly toward me in the wrong direction

charges that were all dismissed prior to court hearings.
17. False Imprisonments. Spent 7 to 10 days in Lancaster County Prison in 1987 with all
charges dismissed and again for some 60 days in 2006 with all charges dismissed. The 60 Days of
imprisonment of 2006 was triggered with a false report of missing a bail supervision meeting,
which was confirmed to be false in court; however bail was maliciously and purposefully reinstated
as secured instead of unsecured. The appropriate appeal was filed which secured my release after
some 60 days of false imprisonment. There were no charges that resulted in any convictions.
18.

Psychiatric Abuses with False Suicide Allegations from Perpetrators/Stalkers. One


in 1987 resulting in a forced hospitalization for several hours by police in Stone Harbor, New
Jersey. And one again in February of 2005 resulting in police restraining me in my home and
abusing me. This one was a fraudulent and phony email sent to police by a perp. The Southern
Regional Police had to vacate after the email was proven to be a fraud.

19. Vandalism to Property. First in 1987 in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, then again in 1991;
1997-1998; and most serious in 2005 to 2010. Filed Police Reports and insurance claims, most

Statement: I have been a Targeted Individual, TI, and Victim since 1987. In 1987 I blew the
whistle (public Allegations and Complaints to State and Federal Authorities of Fraud during merger
negotiations with British Defense Contractor Ferranti International) on an international defense
contractor named International Signal & Control, or ISC, who was selling arms (Everything from
Telemetry Systems to Cluster Bombs) to Iraq via South Africa and was convicted of a $1 Billion
dollar Fraud in 1992 by the United States Attorney and several other federal agencies. See
ABC/News 20/20 and Nightline in 1991. They were founded and headquartered in my hometown
of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I was a shareholder and was solicited by a top ISC Executives
(Convicted as a Mastermind of the Billion Dollar Fraud) to help finance some of their operations
through an affiliate called United Chem Con. ISC was a Department of Defense (DOD) Contractor
and a partner with United States Intelligence Agencies since it's beginnings in the early 1970's.
One of it's first contracts was Project X with the National Security Agency or NSA of Ft. Meade,
Maryland. Former Secretary of the Navy, Bobby Ray Inman was on the Board of Directors of ISC
and was also on the Board of Directors of Science Applications International Corporation, or SAIC.
SAIC was a huge defense contractor that was the recipient of the Defense Intelligence Agency, or
DIA, program on Remote Viewing, which SAIC named Project Stargate. It was reported that
Bobby Ray Inman declined the nomination for Secretary of Defense under the first Clinton
Administration because of the ISC and Trecor scandals. In the early 1990's I was a subcontractor
on a project for the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, or DARPA, with the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST called TIMIT.
The project developed speech
corpora for the development of computer based speech recognition systems. I was also involved
in the bidding of other Department of Defense contracts dealing with information technologies. In
1998 I was stalked and approached by an employee of the National Security Agency, or NSA in
York, Pennsylvania who said my problems were not with the NSA, but the good ole boys. In
2005 I was detained by 2 Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA officers in a museum on a military
base in Austin, Texas and was questioned and interviewed regarding my civil actions filed in
federal court for several hours. I was released and told to stay off of all military bases. My
brother, a Family Physician in Austin Texas had to verify my travel plans and the fact that I was
staying with him prior to my release.
My father alleged he was part of U.S. Navy experiments in the 1940's and experienced
synthetic telepathy in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's as outlined in memos and documents he had
authored; and from my personal conversations with him prior to his death. Ms. Amy Fuchs of the
Disclosure Project confirmed that he was most likely given an ET experience via synthetic
telepathy. He died in 2001 in New York City of cancer. My brother was in the U.S. Air Force in the
late 1960's and I allege was a victim of the LSD experiments relating to MKULTRA in the late
1960's and a victim of murder (Suspicious Suicide with tainted medical reports) in Santa Barbara
California in 1984; Notarized Complaints were filed to the California Attorney General in 1991. He
made a declaration type statement prior to his death that he got bad LSD while in the U.S. Air
Force.
Organized stalking and harassment began in 1987 following the public allegations of fraud
within ISC. As far back as the late 1980's I thought that my mind was being read, or "remotely
viewed". During the times that legal Counsel and attorneys were solicited in 1987, 1991, and
1997 Organized Stalking and Harassment and other forms of attacks experienced by Targeted
Individuals were severely increased. In 2005 the U.S. sponsored mind control turned into an allout assault of mental telepathy; synthetic telepathy; and pain and torture through the use of
directed energy devices and/or electromagnetic weapons. This assault was no coincidence in that
it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action in U.S. District Court, of CATERBONE v.
Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288.
This targeting has ruined every aspect of my life.

Some Perspectives
The calculated and technological entry into another persons mind is an act of monumental barbarism which obliterates perhaps with the twiddling of a dial the history and civilization of
mans mental development. It is more than an abuse of human rights, it is the destruction of
meaning. For anyone who is forced into the hell of living with an unseen mental rapist, the effort
to stay sane is beyond the scope of tolerable endurance. The imaginative capacity of the ordinary
mind cannot encompass the horror of it. We have attempted to come to terms with the experiments of the Nazis in concentration camps. We now have the prospect of systematic control authorized by men who issue instructions through satellite communications for the destruction of
societies while they are driving new Jaguars and Mercedes, and going to the opera.
"On the Need for New Criteria of Diagnosis of Psychosis in the Light of Mind Invasive
Technology"by Carole Smith
Global Research, October 18, 2007; Journal of Psycho-Social Studies, 2003.
People have no comprehension of how lethal only one aspect (aside from the obvious of driving
the victim completely insane) of telepathy technology can be in disrupting and ruining an individual's life through the sabotaging of his/her daily activities. Everything an individual does begins
with a momentary thought. From the split second that thought is learned by the person on the
other end (telepathically) - the individual's right to privacy is not the real threat or loss. The real
lethal weapon is the advantage in disrupting or preventing the individual from accomplishing
whatever he/she is going to do before they actually do it. With a simple cell phone call or instant
message, the Advanced Team is in place to subvert; sabotage; manipulate; propagandize;
smear; disrupt; or even prevent the task or activity from being accomplished in any successful
manner. The perps are skilled at creating scenarios that are covertly arranged to simulate everyday occurrences to make the victim at fault for the loss or failure. Imagine the consequences
when these activities have legal and financial implications. With telepathy technology the need for
tracking and surveillance technology is greatly diminished and may even become obsolete. This is
not merely Mind Invasive Technology, as Carole Smith so eloquently wrote this is LIFE Invasive Technology. Say Goodbye to any true sense of capitalism and free enterprise in the not to
distant future unless of course someone stops these illegal and disastrous technology transfers
and leaks.

Organized or Gang Stalking
A system of organized psychological terror tactics used against a person who has become an enemy of an individual or a government. Subtle but effective techniques of stalking by multiple individuals and psychological intimidation and manipulation are used to slowly but surely drive the
target to make complaints to authorities who will see the complaints as bogus because of the
methods used against the target. As a result, the target gets labeled as mentally ill.
There are as many stalking tactics as there are targets as the multistalkers will tailor the stalking
to the individuals habits and individual personality. Some common examples or organized stalking
are: following the target on foot, by car and public transportation, crowding the target's space in a
public place, murmuring insults under the breath so only the target can hear, sitting in the car
outside the target's residence, starting "fights" in public with the target, doing "skits" on the
street which involves information only the target should know but has been found out via surveillance of the target, stealing and vandalism of the target's possessions.
Organized Stalking Website
Organized Stalking is a form of terrorism used against an individual in a malicious attempt to
reduce the quality of a persons life so they will: have a nervous break-down, become incarcerated, institutionalized, experience constant mental, emotional, or physical pain, become homeless, and/or commit suicide. This is done using well-orchestrated accusations, lies, rumors, bogus
investigations, setups, framings, intimidation, overt or covert threats, vandalism, thefts, sabotage, torture, humiliation, emotional terror and general harassment. It is a ganging up by members of the community who follow an organizer and participate in a systematic terrorizing of an
individual. Mark M. Rich
