CACI says interrogators were screened properly

CACI International Inc. said Sunday that it carefully screened all prospective interrogators before sending them to Iraq and followed the military’s requirements for interrogators and “other allied specialties.”
In a statement responding to allegations that its employees participated in the abuse of Iraqi detainees, CACI sought to clarify what it said were “erroneous comments reported in the media” about the qualifications of its employees working in Iraq, their supervision by the military and the company’s recruiting process.
The company’s contract with the military required workers with demonstrated information-gathering and analysis experience who had Defense Department “secret” level security clearances, which call for a government background check.
CACI also said that the military specified it would provide readiness training, rules-of-engagement briefings and general orders applicable to contractors.
