An email including a chain of forwarded emails regarding verbal harassment an FBI agent had received from an anonymous caller for providing reporting to a colonel at FBIHQ regarding their knowledge in an IG investigation about UCMJ misconduct in Baghdad, Iraq. The caller told the agent to, "stay out of this and keep your mouth shut."

He's flying east this evening and will be here in the morning for his interview. I'll keep you posted. He did tell us
that all this is the result of the email he received from the INSD requesting agents to'report everything they
observed while overseas.
The 7th floor strikes again!

Toni, i take it that we have not received any formal reporting fro~ . ~nl 'Iyet but that it is
in the works. Any idea what the rules are re this misconduct since Anderson IS a reservist....does the
UCMJ prevail.? L Ineeds to refrain from any further contact with the military and let FBIHQ
handle. He needs to be informed of such. Also, are the respective SACs plugged in? Lastly. we need
to put together a brief summary ofwhat we know on this so i can get it to those up the line if need be, This
type of thing could ca~se a blow-up at DOD and precipit.~te a call to us. Thanks.

Pursuant to our telephone conversation this morning, I began to work on documenting the
information regarding the detainee detention facility that SAl ~as in charge of as a Major in
the U.S. Army reserve in Baghdad, Iraq. I have been advised by MaJorL lat
Defense Intelligence Agency (OIA) that the facility is the subject of an IG investigation and that "a b 6
Major" has been charged under the UCMJ regarding his conduct at the task force (NFl), As there' b7C
were two individuals holding the rank of Major in the task force that had regular dealings with the .
facility, I contacted the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate (OSJA) at the parent command of the task Iforce II S ArTYSpecial Operations Command, (USASOF) and was put in touch with the SJA, Col.

I identified myself as an FBI agent and stated that I was providing reporting to FBIHQ regarding my
knowledge of another FBI agent on active duty with a USASOC, task force ILasked the Colonel if he
could confirm i~ tNas the subiec~ of a oourts-Martlat.] ptated he was unaware
of any pending charges against Jbut further stated that the matter could stili be In the
investigation stage at the task force level. Approximately five minutes after I terminated the call with'

f'I:f'I;ed :=JI received a call from an individual who wou . entity himself as, c:::::::J I rtfle caller inquired if l.had just spoken with Col and when I responded that I
a: erequested a secure line. Upon initiation of a secure ca , stated that he was from
[Task Force] 626 and, "I know who you are." I believe this comment was in reference to the fact
I
that I had provided DIA with reporting that helped trigger an IG investigation into the the task force,
Ibecame belligerent and accused me of abusing my position as an FBI agent and that I
,-w-o-:'ul"":"' d ':"'"be--!in trouble for making an inquiry at USASOC. He continued by telling me that it would be in
my interest to, "stay out of this ang keep'vourmouth shut" and tha~ pould seek .
'retribution against you". I assuredl ~hat I did not have any concerns about the

appropriateness of my inquiry, as this information would be relevant to my reporting. I
concluded by stating he would turn this back over to Coil I '--__---oJ
I subsequently received a very polite phone call from coil Irequesting that any further inquiry
be handled through the HQ channels. In my experience as a former judge advocate in the Marine
Corps, the name and rank of an individual who is the subject of a Courts-Martial is not sensitive
information. Based on my experience with task force personnel, they are not above manipulating
the facts to protect their interests.
Given the present situation with the task force and the issues of detainee abuse under investigation,
I doubt the task force will carry this matter any further. I felt, however, it would be prudent to advise
you of the situation.
