Theses emails concern a request for a regular update on the collection and status of criminal cases involving detainee abuse. Some the emails refer to potential upcoming congressional testimony and several of the emails are repeated and resent.

I'd like to talk to Lt. Gen. John R. Vines about the PUC HVTs (aka "ghost detainees") that he approved

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 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.
