CACI Clarifies Information About Its Interrogation Services for

U.S. Army

Army Inspector General Report Determines CACI Interrogators Met

Army Statement of Work (Work Order) Criteria

 

Arlington, Va., July 26, 2004—CACI International Inc (NYSE: CAI) today issued the following statement:

 

As more comprehensive reports and investigations related to detainees in Iraq are made public, CACI wants to ensure accurate information is disseminated to the public, its shareholders, customers, and employees regarding the facts about the company’s interrogation services in Iraq (an information technology-related intelligence information gathering and analysis function). The company emphasized these points:

 

  The U.S. Army Inspector General (IG) Report released July 22, 2004 determined that all CACI contract interrogators satisfied the Army’s requirement for relevant experience as set forth in its statement of work criteria (work order).

 

  The Army IG Report further noted that the Army statement of work (work order) did not mandate military training as a prerequisite for assignment; other appropriate and relevant experience was also authorized.

 

  CACI employees in Iraq work under the supervision and project monitoring (and chain of command) of U.S. military personnel. CACI personnel are also supervised administratively by the company’s management organization in Iraq and in the U.S.

 

  CACI’s interrogation team members are all U.S. citizens and hold U.S. government security clearances at the “Secret” or “Top Secret” level.

 

  The CACI contract work order began with the Army in August 2003 as part of CACI’s intelligence support services line of business.

 

  The U.S. Army in Iraq has consistently reported to CACI that they are quite satisfied with the interrogation services being performed.

 

  CACI started recruiting for interrogators in August 2003. CACI has received approximately 1600 job applications since then. Fewer than 2% of these have been employed in Iraq.

 

  CACI has provided a total of 36 interrogators since August of 2003 with a maximum of 10 interrogators on site at Abu Ghraib at any one time.

 

  CACI’s interrogation support and analysis work for the U.S. Army in Iraq is a very small fraction, less than 1%, of the company’s total worldwide business. Nonetheless, CACI is proud of its people for the work and the service they have provided for the U.S. military and their country under hazardous conditions in Iraq.

 


  CACI is not a private security company and does not provide mercenaries or armed private security personnel or any physical security services.

 

  CACI does not provide interrogation support services to the U.S. government in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba or Afghanistan. CACI provided and continues to provide interrogation services exclusively in Iraq.

 

  The company is proud of its contract relationship with the U.S. Army and of the consistent service its dedicated employees have provided through the most challenging circumstances.

 

  CACI has cooperated fully with every U.S. government inquiry concerning this contract (and work orders) to provide the U.S. Army with interrogation support services in Iraq.

 

  The company has stated repeatedly that it will not condone, tolerate or endorse any illegal behavior at any time. The company will act forcefully and promptly if evidence is discovered showing that an employee acted in violation of the law or of CACI’s policies. At the same time, the company will not rush to judgment on the basis of slander, distortion, false claims, partial reports, or any incomplete investigations. The company supports the concepts of the rule of law, due process, and the presumption of innocence. Vague, unsubstantiated allegations, lacking hard evidence, are not a sufficient basis on which to condemn anyone.

 

CACI continues to provide professional interrogation and analyst support services (an intelligence information gathering function) to the U.S. Army in Iraq. Since 1962, the company has successfully provided IT services during nine U.S. Presidential administrations that have had varying policies and objectives. With over 9,400 employees operating from over 100 office locations in the USA and around the world, CACI takes pride in satisfying its customers and in complying with the highest ethical standards.

 

CACI’s advanced information technology solutions and intelligence support services in Iraq enhance military effectiveness. Our efforts also free up the troops for other critical military missions. Its U.S. military customers in Iraq have commended the company for its performance.
