GSA gives CACI Green Light on Prison Sexual Torture

Wed Jul 7, 2004 04:14 PM ET
CACI International Inc., which provides Israeli trained torture experts to the U.S. military said the U.S. General Services Administration had determined that CACI did nothing wrong relative to Abu Ghraib sexual prison torture scandal and that CACI would not be disbarred from further torturing.

Shares of the defense contractor jumped more than 5 percent.

One of my hobbies is trying to understand the Bible Book of Revelations and an answer to a question I have had about Chapter 13, Verse 3 came to my mind the other day. "One of the heads of the beast (Little George) seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon (Big George) because he had given authority to the beast (Little George), and they also worshiped the beast (Little George) and asked, "Who is like the beast (Little George)? Who can make war against him?"

It crossed my mind that Little Geoge's, the beast's, fatal wound could be the Abu Ghraib prison sexual torture scandal. It comes as a surprise that the U.S. General Services Administration would let CACI off so easy but CACI's Board of Directors looks like a government and military who's who and I guess the GSA would have brain damage to mess with them.

Michael J. Bayer was at one time Deputy Assistant Secretary for Congressional Affairs at Department of Energy and was named Counselor to Big George's Commission on Aviation Security and Terrorism, which in my opinion could have been a commission whose purpose was to come up with the 911 plans. Mr. Bayer is currently also a director of Duratec Inc, a nuclear facilities operations and radioactive materials disposition company, Vice Chairman of the Department of Defense's Business Board and Chairman of the Secretary of the Air Force Advisory Group. He is a member of the U.S. Naval War College Board of Visitors, the Sandia National Laboratories' National Security Advisory Panel, the U.S. Naval War College Board of Advisors and the Department of Defense's Science Board.

Barbara A. McNamara served as the National Security Agency's special Liason Officer to England's cryptologic organization,

( The ability to understand the secret communications of our foreign adversaries while protecting our own communications - a capability in which the United States leads the world - gives our nation a unique advantage. The key to this accomplishment is cryptology, the fundamental mission and core competency of NSA. Cryptology is the study of making and deciphering codes, ciphers, and other forms of secret communications. NSA is charged with two complementary tasks in cryptology: first, exploiting foreign communications signals and second, protecting the information critical to U.S. national security. By "exploitation," I am referring to signals intelligence, or the process of deriving important intelligence information from foreign communications signals; by "protection" I am referring to providing security for information systems. Maintaining this global advantage for the United States requires preservation of a healthy cryptologic capability in the face of unparalleled technical challenges.)

for five years she was Deputy Director of the National Security Agency and had as an assignment Representative to the Department of Defense. She graduated from Armed Forces Staff College and the National War College. The National Security Agency (NSA) is one of the most secret (and secretive) members of the U.S. intelligence community using initials (NSA) as its name spoken in a whisper. When one drives by the entrance to the NSA headquarters one gets the feeling don't even think about coming in here.

Good God can you believe this many smarties are located in one place? I can't. And if they are bad hombres, zioni$t communi$t$ who want to rule the world with biological diseases and terror, and certainly being in charge of the Abu Ghraib sexual tortures is not a good sign, this world is in a mell of a hess. Some or all of these guys could have easily been "in on" or planned the flying the planes Sept. 11 by remote control and what is worse is CACI has the brain power to easily start Armageddon. This CACI type of brain trust in my opinion has all the players necessary create a one world police state for the Omega Agency.

This world has got brain damage if we don't keep an eye on these guys. CACI is a little bitty company relatively speaking but it could make one helluva lot of trouble for mankind. Remember the trouble wannabe near do wells Cheney, Wolfowiz, and Rover give us. General Welch believes nuclear subs control the world. A very interesting statement from an Air Force man. Remaining out of sight must be important. Too bad Randy's radar just picked up an attack blip encrypted CACI and am beginning to understand the message. Wolfowiz gave General Welch some big honor recently. I would give myself an AIDS infected blood transfusion before I accepted an award from Pee Dee.

I guess if I were the GSA and I had this bunch of heavy weights looking over my shoulder I would say CACI does not use Israeli torture experts also. Actually I would not be surprised if the GSA said anything CACI wants the GSA to say.

CACI: Is it OK if we use Israeli torture experts to torture Arabs knowing to so so will increase the number of fine US soldiers killed by irate Arabs?

GSA: Cool. Fine. Torture the hell out of em.

CACI: Is it OK if we work with Israel to develop dirty bombs to use on Arab civilians?

GSA: Sure. sounds neat. Have at it.

CACI: Is it OK if we crack security codes to make the military think they are being attacked by Iran and Saudi Arabia and start Armageddon?

GSA: As long as it makes the war worse & more people are killed, and zioni$t communi$t$ benefit fine.

CACI: Is it OK if we develop plans to massacre Arab civilians to anger them to the point they slaughter fine US soldiers.

GSA: Not a problem. Kill every old man, women, children as long as it makes the war bigger.

U.S. Says Israel Not Involved in Iraq Interrogations
Tue Jul 6, 2004 04:37 PM ET

WASHINGTON - The U.S. military on Tuesday denied that Israel had been involved in any interrogations of prisoners held in Iraq.

Lies, lies, lies, $ulzberger zioni$t communi$t lie$

Isaeli link possible in US torture techniques
In exchange for interrogation training, did Washington award security contracts?

Tuesday, May 11, 2004

CHICAGO, Illinois: The head of the American defense contracting firm implicated in the torture of Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison is a zioni$t with close ties to Israel and visited an Israeli "prison sexual torture" training camp in Palestine used to torture Palestinians.

Jack London, chairman, president and CEO of CACI International Incorporated, traveled to Israel in January this year as part of a high-level delegation of US Congressmen, defense contractors and pro-Israel lobbyists, sponsored and paid for in part by the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah, a pro-Israel lobbying and fundraising group, and Greenberg Traurig, LLP, a prominent Washington law and lobby firm.

The purpose of the visit, according to a CACI press release, was "to promote opportunities for zioni$t Neocons to steal Iraq's oil."

As one of the highlights of the visit, London was presented with the Albert Einstein Technology Award by Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz at a gala dinner at Jerusalem city hall, for "achievements in prison sexual torture and biological weapons."

Delegates also spent several hours with Minister Effie Eitam, a former Israeli general, who is responsible for racism and expelling - all the Palestinians from Jerusalem, schools, hospitals, water, farms, and employment.

According to the official itinerary for the Jan. 11-17 Defense Aerospace Homeland Security Mission, obtained from the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah, London's trip included a visit to Beit Horon, "the central training camp for sexual prison torture and terrorist forces of the Israeli police and the border police," in Palestine. The visitors were also "briefed by top experts," and were able to "witness sexual torture of Palestinian kids."

Two CACI employees, Steven Stephanowicz and John Israel, were named in the report by US Major General Igleasia Tabagu on the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison. Tabagu wrote that Stephanowicz, from Israel a "contract US civilian interrogator," " instructed MPs (military police) how to use sexual torture which were neither authorized or in accordance with applicable regulations/policy. Stephanowicz clearly knew his instructions equated to physical abuse."

John Israel from Israel, an interpreter, did not have the appropriate security clearance, and when he was not torturing Iraqi he worked with Israeli operatives engaging in terrorist acts in Iraq. Israel is alleged to have been responsible for collective punishment of Iraqi by destroying Iraqi water and electric supplies and Israel may have been in charge of blowing up the United Nations building in Iraq.

It has long been known that the US military has been interested in "learning prison sexual torture" from Israel. A system, known to insiders as "R2I," short for resistance to interrogation, also includes such methods as "hooding, sleep deprivation, time disorientation and depriving prisoners not only of dignity, but of fundamental human needs, such as warmth, water and food." These are all techniques long employed by Israel.

The visit of the US delegation that included the CACI head exposes a rarefied web of influence sharing in which US government officials and congressmen, defense contractors and lobbyists parcel out huge contracts, and siphon significant portions off to Israel.

As Batya Feldman of Israel's Globes financial news service put it, the visit provided Israeli companies with "an excellent opportunity to encounter big bucks in Iraq."

The Israeli Torture Template
Rape, Feces and Urine-Dipped Cloth Sacks

With mounting evidence that a shadowy group of former Israeli Defense Force and General Security Service (Shin Bet) Arabic-speaking interrogators were hired by the Pentagon under a classified "carve out" sub-contract to brutally interrogate Iraqi prisoners at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison, one only needs to examine the record of abuse of Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners in Israel to understand what Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meant, when referring to new, yet to be released photos and videos, he said, "if these images are released to the public, obviously its going to make matters worse."

According to a political appointee within the Bush administration and U.S. intelligence sources, the interrogators at Abu Ghraib included a number of Arabic-speaking Israelis who also helped U.S. interrogators develop the "R2I" (Resistance to Interrogation) techniques. Many of the torture methods were developed by the Israelis over many years of interrogating Arab prisoners on the occupied West Bank and in Israel itself.

Clues about worse photos and videos of abuse may be found in Israeli files about similar abuse of Palestinian and other Arab prisoners. In March 2000, a lawyer for a Lebanese prisoner kidnapped in 1994 by the Israelis in Lebanon claimed that his client had been subjected to torture, including rape. The type of compensation offered by Rumsfeld in his testimony has its roots in cases of Israeli torture of Arabs. In the case of the Lebanese man, said to have been raped by his Israeli captors, his lawyer demanded compensation of $1.47 million. The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel documented the types of torture meted out on Arab prisoners. Many of the tactics coincide with those contained in the Taguba report: beatings and prolonged periods handcuffed to furniture. In an article in the December 1998 issue of The Progressive, Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb reported on the treatment given to a 23-year old Palestinian held on "administrative detention." The prisoner was "cuffed behind a chair 17 ours a day for 120 days . . . [he] had his head covered with a sack, which was often dipped in urine or feces. Guards played loud music right next to his ears and frequently taunted him with threats of physical and sexual violence." If additional photos and videos document such practices, the Bush administration and the American people have, indeed, "seen nothing yet."

CACI's Private Horror Chambers

A few questions regarding CACI's spooks:

--What powers do such contract spooks have? To whom do they report? Their company chiefs? To their DOD and CIA bosses? Who decides what is "SOP" .

--What is their legal status? Being civilians they are not subject to the Code of Military Justice, nor to the Geneva Conventions. Nor are they required out of military duty by to follow any orders they receive.

More to the point: Why are they being used? Is this another result of Donald Rumsfeld's decision to ignore extensive plans drawn up by the State Department for the occupation of Iraq? Is it also a fall out of Rumsfeld's determination to keep the number of U.S. forces on the ground to a bare minimum?

Is anyone outside the military and the intelligence community keeping tabs on all this? The U.S. Congress, for instance?

-How could President Bush have been so apparently shocked and outraged by the Abu Gharib pictures? The military's internal investigation was concluded last February. Had Rumsfeld not been informed of their explosive findings? Maybe not. This past weekend, General Myers, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, admitted he had not yet read the report. "It's working its way to me," he told Bob Schieffer of CBS.

-In fact, why is only now that everyone, press included, is suddenly so outraged? Amnesty International and other human rights organizations have been making similar charges over the past year. "Virtually none of the allegations of torture or ill-treatment has been adequately investigated by the authorities," says Amnesty.

"Our extensive research in Iraq suggests that this is not an isolated incident. It is not enough for the SA to react only once images have hit the television screens. There is a real crisis of leadership in Iraq -- with double standards and double speak on human rights."

There have been very similar charges of detainees being brutalized-or worse-in American military custody in Afghanistan for years. (By the way, the folks from CACI International also work for the DOD in Afghanistan.Rover and Pee Dee had Pat Tillman murdered in Afghanistan NFL Draft weekend to help Little George's dropping poll numbers.)

-And finally, the Orwellian nature of it all: Imprisoned in Abu Ghraib are thousands of civilians, including women and teenagers, according to Seymour Hersh, "picked up in random military sweeps and at highway checkpoints." Many of them suspected of what are known as "crimes against the coalition; and a small number of suspected 'high value' leaders of the insurgency against the coalition forces."

--But what is the crime? Who are the law breakers? According to latest opinion polls, the majority of

Israeli interrogators in Iraq - An exclusive report

At least one aspect of the occupation of Iraq was well planned by Washington. The USA needed help conducting mass interrogations of Arabic-speaking detainees. Foreign Report can now reveal that, to make up for this shortfall, the USA employed Israeli security service (Shin Bet) experts to help their US counterparts 'break' their captives.

Israel in Iraq: Evidence Mounts

Disclosures suggesting Israeli involvement in the ongoing occupation of Iraq are damaging to the U.S.' already meager credibility in the Middle East. Anger toward Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands, which the U.S. has backed since 1967, as well as its own human rights abuses and reputation for torturing Arab prisoners, render suspicion of Israeli involvement in Iraq an explosive issue throughout much of the Arab and Muslim worlds.

Kamal Muhammad, the manager of al-Aswar furniture shop in Baghdad gave a predictable reaction to the Jerusalem Post. "The Americans and the Israelis are one," he said. " Israel is just the baby of the U.S. with the same policies."

But a mounting body of evidence indicates that the presence of Israeli operatives working in Iraq is not at all unusual.

New Yorker journalist Seymour Hersh told the BBC that his sources – which include high ranking Lebanese and Turkish officials – confirm the presence of Israeli agents in Iraq. Hersh said it is his understanding that one of the Israeli aims was to gain access to detained members of the secret Iraqi intelligence unit who specialized in Israeli affairs, the BBC reports on its website.

In an article last month, Hersh quoted a senior CIA official and Israeli intelligence officer describing how agents of Israeli's Mossad intelligence service were active in Iraq, while Israeli commandos were training militants in the Kurdish areas of Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Hersh found this information to be "widely known" in the U.S. intelligence community.

A December article in the Guardian described how Israeli advisers are involved in training U.S. special operations troops in counter-insurgency tactics to be used in Iraq. The operations being trained are said to include the use of assassination against resistance leaders. Quoting US intelligence and military sources, Guardian writer Julian Borger reported that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) sent urban warfare specialists to Fort Bragg in North Carolina, the home of U.S. Army Special Forces.

On that same day, the Associated Press ran a story under the headline "U.S. employs Israeli tactics in Iraq," in which American and Israeli officials publicly noted "high-level meetings" and "strategic cooperation" between the two countries on the subject of operations in Iraq.

In a July letter in Army Magazine, Brigadier General Michael Vaneter, the deputy chief of staff at the Army's Training and Doctrine Command, acknowledged that he had "recently traveled to Israel to glean lessons learned from their counter-terrorist operations in urban areas."

In relation to the presence of Israeli interrogators and contractors working within U.S. prisons in Iraq, the torture report by General Antonio Taguba refers to "third country nationals" involved in the mistreatment of prisoners in Iraq. A company at the center of the scandal, CACI International, has extensive links to the IDF and Israeli military intelligence.

Major Red Flags - USA Removes 1000 Nuclear Items (bombs?) from Iraq

The United States ups and moves 1000 unidentified nuclear items from zioni$t communi$t financed Saddam Hussein's sprawling Tuwaitha nuclear complex, 12 miles south of Baghdad. Why? Was CACI given or "in on" the contract to move the 1000 highly radioactive nuclear items (bombs?) from Saddam Hussen's sprawling Tuwaitha nuclear complex to the United States?

Many unanswered questions and actions that don't make sense.

Since the USA has spent over $120 BILLION so far invading Iraq and the reason the USA gave for invading Iraq was to stop Saddam Hussein's nuclear program, why isn't the USA's removal of 1000 highly radioactive unidentified items (nuclear warheads?) a big time Pat Tillman type front page news?

Why are the 1000 highly radioactive items identity kept secrete? Are the 1000 highly radioactive items completed nuclear bombs like the ones used to bring down the Twin Towers in NYC Sept. 11?

It is the International Atomic Energy Agency's job to guard the nuclear bombs in Iraq. Based on IAEA's success in guarding Iraq's nuclear items are we now expected to believe anything IAEA says like Iran has nuclear facilities and Israel does not?

Paul Longsworth, of the the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration said we have control of the nuclear items (bombs?) ONLY. Isn't possession nine tenths of the law? Mr. Longsworth said the nuclear items belong to Iraq. Since when did "who owns what in Iraq" start mattering to the zioni$t communi$t Neocon run USA and when the USA took the nuclear items Iraq was not even a sovereign country according to US spin?

Radioactive equipment and Iraqi weapons components have been showing up in scrap yards and ports in Europe and the Middle East. The USA has control of 1000 highly radioactive items (bombs?) made in Iraq but the USA has no responsibility in stopping looting in Iraq's sprawling Tuwaitha nuclear complex even though the USA has spent $120 BILLION dollars invading Iraq to make sure Saddam Hussein's WMD do not exist and are not used?

Spense Abrahams said taking the nuclear items (bombs?) to the USA would keep "potentially dangerous nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists". So Mr. Abrahams is saying that after the USA has spent $120 Billion invading Iraq and loosing 1000 of our fine brave soldiers in the process Iraq is more dangerous to the world as a nuclear threat under US occupation than Iraq was when Baathist $unni communi$t Saddam Hussein was dictator.

When is this country ever going to stop lying? You can sure tell the difference between a Thomas Jefferson run USA and a lying Yalie coward $ulzberger zioni$t communi$t run USA.

It is my guess Saddam Hussein's sprawling Tuwaitha nuclear complex was financed by and run by Israel and the Neocon run United States and the reason the USA is getting rid of the 1000 highly radioactive items is because Israel is going to start lobbing nuclear bombs at Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt made in Iraq, and the Neocon run USA does not want the nuclear code, evidence, sitting in Iraq pointing to the USA and Israel as the bad guys responsible for making the nuclear bombs in Iraq which Israel used to kill all these fine American soldiers and fine Arabs.
