At you know, (CTLU I - Afghanistan) is working jointly an the advice with

military officials, and have spoken.with agents who have been- on the ground to get a sense of briar
agent experience in these environments. From talking tcl 'the complexities come not with the

approached the Jordanians in Amman. They proyided fingerprints and a copy of an
indictment. l"m having the documents associated with the prints translated and will forward to CJIS.
also sent a copy (not translated) to CJIS. He will forward the indictment as well. He did this at my request .
and let me review the information he was releasing to the Jordanians beforehis meeting. He can provide
more detailed information but it appears the Jordanians are cooperating..
A lack of an existing US case and the limitations of using evidence obtained "in Iraq certainly make a US
prosecution problematic. If the Jordanian charge is substantial and it looks like a good case, then that may
be the preferred route. The Jordanians taken with him could also be provided as witnesses/additional
subjects.
You can coordinate this matter with me or John K., of course. The BOC case agent is SAI I"The
BOC. Reports Officer is ROI I We can pass anything to Baled.

No problem, they have been done already. I. thought they had already sent them out td you. b7C

What's our status in Iraq with Is he being helc1==lnad h as •he been interviewed by-anyone
other than FBI personnel since his initial capture. I am going to speak with CTS on this issue later today
and wanted to see if I could give them some feel for what we have so far. We are trying desperately to get a
decision on what we should do with this guy quickly. Our discussion here have produced a couple of
_scenario's.' -
1. Provide him to the Jordanians •
2. Designate him an enemy combatant
3. Let him be prosecuted by the Iraqi court system

4. Prosecute him here in the U.S.
I hal 'doing a full reveiw of all information/evidencelhat we haVe so far on him to see what we have
that could be used in an open court. I suspect that it is pretty limited. In.your opinion, could we use any of
the info developed in Iraq so far in to support a U.5. prosecution? In partiCular, the statements of the. b2
.individualt apprehended with him or are these tainted as intelligence interviews only by virtue of being b6
conducted I b7C
I would like to see . this prosecuted in•a U.S. court if we have enough usable evidence t•support it.
Also, who should we be coordinating this one with on your side' has some info he is trying to get -
out to Baled that may be helpful to the interviewers and he is not sure who we should be directing the info
to.
It's been a busy few days. I was out with the Flu on Friday, but lamback in the game. If you guys need
anything, just let me know. Also, let me know.when , you can get the,SVTO and I will coordinate on this end.
•1 will coordinate with SD and CTS, but I think we shldo udo one SVTC and include everyone.
I'll be glad when we get your comm's fixed so we can call you. Stay safe.
