[Print Friendly Version] Patterns of Global Terrorism Released by the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism April 29, 2004 Appendix E Summary of the US Military Counterterrorism Campaign in 2003 Operation Iraqi Freedom On 19 March 2003, US and Coalition forces launched Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Along with freeing the Iraqi people of a vicious dictator, OIF also shut down the Salman Pak training camp, where members of al-Qaida had trained, and disrupted the Abu Musab al-Zarqawi network, which had established a poison and explosives training camp in northeastern Iraq. OIF removed the prospective threat to the international community posed by the combination of an aggressive Iraqi regime, weapons of mass destruction capabilities, and terrorists. Iraq is now the central front for the global war on terrorism. Coalition forces in Iraq also are training and equipping the new components of Iraq’s security services, which include police, the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps, border police, the Iraqi Facility Protection Service, and a new Iraqi army. The Coalition’s goal is to build the Iraqi security services to approximately 225,000 members. With the transfer of governing authority from the Coalition Provisional Authority to the Iraqi Transitional National Assembly in 2004, Iraqi security services will play an increasing role in creating a stable and united Iraq, as well as preventing foreign terrorists from establishing operations in Iraq. Operation Enduring Freedom US military forces continued to operate in the mountains of southern Afghanistan against al-Qaida terrorists, anti-Coalition militias, and Taliban insurgents throughout 2003. Anti-government activity targeting Afghan security forces, civic leaders, and international aid workers continues to destabilize the southern regions of the country. These attacks resulted in the United Nations suspending operations in the southern provinces of Helmand, Oruzgan, Khandahar, and Zabol in 2003. The frequency of attacks rose steadily throughout the year, reaching peaks in September and early November and tapering off with the onset of winter.

By Phillip Carter Posted Friday, April 23, 2004, at 2:41 PM PT Why the Army can't keep its tanks rolling With a festering insurgency claiming the lives of more than 120 soldiers just this month, the Pentagon is set to request up to 30,000 more troops for the occupation. Senior Army leaders also said this week they will ask Congress for more money to make ends meet in Iraq and rebuild their drained force. Asking for these things is one thing; getting them is another; deploying them still another. Even if the order were cut right now, fresh divisions of troops would take months to get to overseas, meaning today's stretched force will have to put down the Iraqi revolt, restore security, and conduct the June 30 power handover without reinforcements. The U.S. military remains the most lethal fighting force ever fielded, but one year in Iraq has chewed it up, creating global shortages of manpower, equipment, and spare parts that are not easily relieved. To a civilian, it may not make sense that a war involving 130,000 troops could strain the 1.4 million-strong U.S. military to its breaking point. Military officers often say that "amateurs study tactics—professionals study logistics." The reason for this axiom is that even the simplest military task—like moving a unit from point A to point B—requires a Herculean logistical effort. Planes have to be scheduled; trains have to be contracted and loaded; ships must be diverted and filled with military equipment. Just consider what it takes to move a single tank company from Fort Stewart to Fallujah. Soldiers have to spend days inspecting and packing their vehicles before loading them onto trains that will take them to the

home April 30, 2004 U.S. military police investigated for prisoner abuse in Iraq Reports are surfacing of photos showing Iraqi prisoner abuse by US troops If this is true, then the guys who did it need to be punished severely, and the officers who should have prevented this should be tossed in jail, not just forced into retirement with a letter of reprimand. If General Karpinski's culpable , nail her too. Don't tell me that the guards never heard of the Geneva Conventions, or my BS-o-meter will peg out at 100%. An investigation's been brewing since January, but there had better not be a late and hasty whitewash on this one now that somebody finally lifted up the flat slimy rock it's been hidden under. This is one retired officer who isn't afraid to raise an unholy stink if the Army scapegoats the enlisted troops and gives the officers a slap on the wrist. This little blurb from the UK Daily Mail ( transcribed by Drudge ) really frosted my giblets: CBS executives received an appeal from the chairman of the military Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers , two weeks ago to hold the story because of the dangers of a backlash against soldiers in Iraq from outraged insurgents.

U.S. News World News Previous Articles Graner's lawyer plans to blame U.S. policies Sunday, May 23, 2004 By Cindi Lash, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The attorney for Spc. Charles A. Graner Jr., the military police officer accused of being a ringleader of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, plans to defend his client by arguing that his acts were the results of tacitly set White House policy. Related article: England tells her side Houston lawyer Guy Womack, who represents Graner, said events at Abu Ghraib are the results of a controversial Bush administration decision to deny Geneva Conventions protections to people detained in the war on terrorism. That policy, approved two years ago over the objections of Secretary of State Colin Powell, initially denied prisoner-of-war status to captured Taliban and Al-Qaida combatants detained in Afghanistan and at Guantanamo, Cuba. But Womack contends that administration policy was gradually expanded to also cover Iraqi detainees and thus created conditions where military and civilian intelligence officers used Graner and other military police guards at Abu Ghraib to intimidate, or "soften up," insurgents before interrogations. A Whitehall native who now lives in Uniontown, Graner, 36, is one of seven members of the 372nd Military Police Company based in Cresaptown, Md., to be charged with abusing Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib. He has been identified in various statements from other soldiers and detainees as a leader of abuses there.

Separately on Thursday, a reporter for The Times of London, Tim Reid, wrote that he had met Udeen in a Kandahar jail, where fleeing Taliban forces had left him in early January 2002. Reid wrote that Udeen said he had been arrested by the Taliban, during a journey across Afghanistan to Iran, because he carried a British passport. This story was published on Friday, March 12, 2004.

Contact us THE WORLD back PRINT-FRIENDLY VERSION EMAIL THIS STORY US spies 'urged abuse' of prisoners BY Roy Eccleston, Washington correspondent, and John Kerin May 03, 2004 THE scandal over the US military's abuse of Iraqi prisoners at a notorious Baghdad prison is deepening, with new claims the possible war crimes were encouraged by American intelligence officers wanting inmates "softened up" for interrogation. A London newspaper has also broadened the abuse allegations to British troops. The Daily Mirror published photographs at the weekend of what it said was a tortured Iraqi man, after receiving details of the alleged eight-hour beating from two British soldiers. The claim that the "sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses" by at least six US military police were actively encouraged by intelligence officers came in a confidential military report leaked to The New Yorker magazine. Army Reserve general Janis Karpinski, who has been stood down over the allegations, told The New York Times on Sunday that she also believed the brutal behaviour had been encouraged by intelligence officers, who were now being protected. "We're disposable," said General Karpinski, who had been in charge of military prisons in Iraq, referring to the reservist military police (MPs) allegedly involved.

The report yesterday on 60 Minutes II said a US army investigation had found "systemwide" brutality in the handling of captured Iraqis. The photos were taken at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, where US forces are holding hundreds of Iraqis captured during the invasion and occupation of the country. The US army announced that six members of the 800th Military Police Brigade would face court-martial over abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib. The charges included cruelty and maltreatment, dereliction of duty, assault and forced acts of indecency. In addition to those criminal charges, the military has recommended disciplinary action against seven US officers who ran the prison, including Brigadier-General Janice Karpinski, the commander of the 800th Brigade.
