This email concerns an investigation in to an account of a DIA/DHS officer who while at the Bagram Collection Point participated in the abuse of an Uzbek who was turned over to Coalition forces by local villagers. The report, unsubstantiated, was that once the Uzbek came in to custody the DIA/DHS officer allegedly “threw a few pooches of his own” on the detainee, who was already beaten-up during his capture by local villagers. The report of detainee abuse was already investigated and determined to be unfounded, but this email between DIA officers concerns attending a meeting on the conduct of the DIA/DHS officer separately accused, and if one or both of the email participants should attend the meeting.

Regarding the "impersonation", I'm still not sure what our issue is here. It's fairly clear to me that the "FBI Agent" wasn't successful in gaining the detainees cooperation. Thereafter, (months later) carried the day with his ruse...(Once again, this technique, and all of those used in these scenarios, was approved by the Dep Sec Def Additionally, the techniques specifically called into question in the EC were employed months after, and in a different environment from, the "FBI Agent" ruse.

The Division Chief, Personal Crimes Department of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service discusses manpower needs at Guantanamo and Iraq and case theory behind investigations, and states "We've held off initiating any action pending the DoD/Navy IG's input on "abuse criteria" and the individual MCIO's AOR. Well it's come down to Gitmo and IMEF in Iraq belonging to NCIS and everything else to Army CID. After lengthy discussions here in the building it's been determined we plan on using our 7G and 7H agency criteria for accepting cases. Of course there will be some flexibility at the field level to consider the totality of the alleged abuse as it relates to the specific environment. The key will be to determine the "aggravated" factor vs. simple assault.”

String of emails in response to NCIS inquiry into an incident mentioned in a USMC report regarding all Iraqi detainee abuse and death cases. The NCIS official had not heard of one incident concerning detainee who is suspected of dying of head injuries after jumping out of window in Husaybah, Iraq, on April 19, 2004. One reply states that Command is aware of issue as is the Operations Branch of the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA). Another USMC email notes that the author spoke with an IMEF Fallujah official about this case, who said he did not notify NCIS of the death. The same person also advised that NCIS was not notified about abuse alleged to have occurred on June 1, 2003. On that day, marines from the Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, were alleged to have made four Iraqi juveniles kneel beside two shallow fighting holes while pistol discharged in mock execution. The email's author requested that IMEF reporting format to be amended to reflect accurately when NCIS is notified of allegations of abuse. Replies say that IMEF SJA was ordered to correct their original report. The NCIS response states that “only because IMEF erroneously listed NCIS on two cases that we were never notified on or conducted an investigation.”
