Question: Why and when did CACI get into the business of providing interrogators?Does every Fortune 100 company act like this? If so, the Google motto "Don't be evil" will get a whole new meaning...
Answer: For a number of years CACI has provided IT support and services, including information collection and data analysis, to the U.S. Intelligence Community and the military. Interrogation services were an extension of that work, which CACI provided in response to a request by the U.S. Army, which did not have sufficient, available personnel for assignment to the Iraqi theater at the onset of the war. In August 2003 CACI responded to the Army's request for these services by identifying and hiring qualified individuals with previous experience in information gathering and analysis.
These services were initially provided under a contract issued by the Department of Interior in August 2003. In August 2004 the U.S. Army took the initiative to directly issue CACI a contract to continue providing interrogation services. CACI continued to provide interrogation services under that contract until it expired in the early fall of 2005.
CACI is proud of its efforts to support the U.S. mission in Iraq and the broader effort to fight terrorism.

Lord Patel is grateful for your contribution - FRONTEX. EU Data retention, swapping DNA profiles quite casually in Interpol, the role of CACI and it's swarm of US associated companies - all this is quietly going on as we go about our bizniz.
The pols meanwhile have their heads in the sand, or up their arses ... except Our Dear Leader who came out for a National DNA Database this week very openly, on the spurious basis of clearing up Plod's success with dead files... so much more enjoyable than dealing with contemporary crime and it's prevention.
Now we have (today's posting) Scotland have the contact free palm reading of schoolchidlren "which doesn't have security issues because it doesn't interface to criminal records" ... systems which cannot of course be future retrofitted with fingerprint readers when the little dears get a little bit bigger.
The redeeming thing is that the internet is so widespread it's record keping so ineradicable, so long lasting, that our resistance and unheeded warnings will be recorded in perpetuity.
