Gen. John R. Vines about the PUC HVTs (aka "ghost detainees") that he approved 066877 /1-6g/P7 No DODDOA 026291 Message. Page 2 of 2 while he was commander in Afghanistan and what the rationale was for hiding those prisoners from the ICRC. I know the General approved of at least a handful of PUC HVTs, and I am going to report that fact. I also believe that the Army had a good rationale for creating the category of "persons under control, high value targets" and I would like to give the General the opportunity to fully explain that rationale. My editors want this story right away, but are willing to give me until Friday 16:00 to get comments. Best regards, MEM fe t. 000878 11/1/2004 'V) DODDOA 026292
