, I attended this afternoon's meeting with SC Laura Laughlin and Pat Rowan (and two other attorneys from DOJ) at the Pentagon The meeting included the Chief of Staff of Army CID, an attorney from Army OGC, Bob Reed from DOD OGC, an army JAG from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and an attorney from Army OTJAG The Chief of Staff of CID gave a bn H o Ding investigations in Afghanistan
ThereWas
and Iraq that involved active duty military personnel d-ctviltan personnel
bli
no indication or allegation that FBI personnel were invo ye or imp mated in any wrongdoing Five
separate investigations/incidents were addressed, including three where detainees died while in custody.
The focus of the meeting was the desire of DOJ to receiVe information that may implicate civilian contractor personnel in criminal activity in Iraq from the Army, and most specifically, Army CID DOJ stressed their hope that courts-martial proceedings against active duty personnel in matters that involve
'civilianico-conspirators would 'not be prosecuted to the detnment of the case against the civilian DOJ also.asked that they be provided with any CID' information that would support opening an investigation or contractors In the event further investigation is needed in those cases, it is
prosecUting any civil ian
anticipated that the BI'wouldithen become involved
Generally, the DOD representatives seemed agreeable and CID offered DOJ the opportunity to review trying to coordinate the courts-martial of military
some of their invest gations/files However, the issue of i ,personnel with civilian prosecutions was not resolved The parties agreed to attempt to make the JAGS in the relevant military commands aware of issues involving civilian contractors DOJ will communicate
