Extractions: Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Tuesday, March 9, 2004 by the Wall Street Journal Is Military Creeping Into Domestic Law Enforcement? by Robert Block and Gary Fields IN A LITTLE-NOTICED side effect of the war on terrorism, the military is edging toward a sensitive area that has been off-limits to it historically: domestic intelligence gathering and law enforcement. Steven Aftergood, an intelligence policy specialist at the Federation of American Scientists The Army, while not disputing that the visit took place, declined to comment, saying the incident is under investigation. Last year, the Office of Naval Intelligence, the nation's primary source of global maritime intelligence, demanded access to the U.S. Customs Service's database on maritime trade, saying it needed information to thwart potential terrorist activity. Customs officials initially resisted the Navy's demands but eventually agreed to give naval intelligence much of what it wanted. In another sign of military interest in domestic information-gathering, the Defense Intelligence Agency's new antiterrorism task force is looking to share information with law-enforcement officials in California and New York City, according to an August 2003 General Accounting Office report.

Extractions: Sunday, May 9, 2004; Page B05 In Iraq and elsewhere, private contractors now perform tasks that were once the exclusive province of soldiers, raising questions not just about where civilians fit in the chain of command but also about their legal status. The issue has taken on new urgency with the suggestion that civilians may have been among those responsible for the alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. How, then, to describe the legal status of a private contractor in a war zone? In a word, "murky." "The murkiness is not in the nature of the crimes [if proven] but in the status of those accused and what jurisdiction they would fall under," said P. W. Singer, author of "Corporate Warriors" and a fellow at the Brookings Institution. Unlike soldiers, contractors are not subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the military's own rule of law. They are, however, subject to the Geneva Conventions, Singer said. "The Geneva Conventions apply to everyone who is involved in warfare. They are very specific about identifying violations of laws of war. But they are insufficient in identifying the status of all those who are playing a role in modern-day warfare."

Iraq U.S. Sent Specialists To Train Prison Units Tuesday, May 4, 2004; Page A01 Presented with reports of abusive behavior by U.S. military guards at Baghdad's main prison, the Army two months ago quietly dispatched to Iraq a team of about 25 military police experienced in running detention facilities to shore up training and supervision, Army officials said yesterday. It was the first group of such specialists sent to Iraq since the invasion last year, the officials said. The move followed an internal Army investigation that found military police at the Abu Ghraib prison largely unprepared for their role as guards and accused them of grossly mistreating Iraqi detainees, the officials said. The decision to send the special team reflected an acknowledgement by U.S. military commanders that the abuse of detainees and laxness in oversight evident at the prison may extend beyond the small group of enlisted soldiers and officers charged or reprimanded so far and require broader remedial action.

Extractions: AND FOREIGN MILITARY SERVICE A U.S. citizen who is a resident or citizen of a foreign country may be subject to compulsory military service in that country. Although the United States opposes service by U.S. citizens in foreign armed forces, there is little that we can do to prevent it since each sovereign country has the right to make its own laws on military service and apply them as it sees fit to its citizens and residents. Such participation by citizens of our country in the internal affairs of foreign countries can cause problems in the conduct of our foreign relations and may involve U.S. citizens in hostilities against countries with which we are at peace. For this reason, U.S. citizens facing the possibility of foreign military service should do what is legally possible to avoid such service. Federal statutes long in force prohibit certain aspects of foreign military service originating within the United States. The current laws are set forth in Section 958-960 of Title 18 of the United States Code. In Wiborg v. U.S.

Extractions: Friday, Nov. 21, 2003 Gen. Tommy Franks says that if the United States is hit with a weapon of mass destruction that inflicts large casualties, the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government. Franks, who successfully led the U.S. military operation to liberate Iraq, expressed his worries in an extensive interview he gave to the mens lifestyle magazine Cigar Aficionado. In the magazines December edition, the former commander of the militarys Central Command warned that if terrorists succeeded in using a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) against the U.S. or one of our allies, it would likely have catastrophic consequences for our cherished republican form of government. Discussing the hypothetical dangers posed to the U.S. in the wake of Sept. 11, Franks said that the worst thing that could happen is if terrorists acquire and then use a biological, chemical or nuclear weapon that inflicts heavy casualties.
