Latest Update on CACI Services in Iraq, 9/27/06

CACI supports our nation's vital defense missions, including the war on terrorism, security for our people and homeland, and sweeping enhancements in the quality and efficiency of essential government services, in both the defense and civilian sectors. It is our mission to be absolutely clear and truthful about CACI's business and role in Iraq as a military contractor. CACI maintains the highest professional and ethical standards. In more than four and a half decades of work helping to defend our nation we have never tolerated any misconduct by our employees. Moreover, the men and women of CACI are committed to supporting the U.S. military's efforts in Iraq and the global fight against al Qaeda and Islamic extremists. It is our patriotic duty to serve our nation, and we are honored that CACI employees have stepped up and accepted great personal risk to support our troops in Iraq. In all we do, we are concerned about our employees' security and their performance.

From all indications, the war on terrorism will be lengthy, brutal and challenging. In order to enable the greatest number of soldiers to engage in combat duty the U.S. military has turned to qualified civilian contractors like CACI to provide a wide range of support. This is the government's decision and not a decision on the part of CACI. Though contractors like CACI do not engage in combat duties, our work is dangerous and often conducted in places where most people would not want to work each and every day.

The substantiated and factually verifiable truth is that

• No CACI employee has ever been charged with any misconduct in connection with incidents at Abu Ghraib, and no CACI employee ever appeared in any photos of detainee abuse released from Abu Ghraib. CACI assisted the Army with gathering much needed intelligence in an effort to save lives and safeguard our troops during dangerous and hostile wartime conditions.
• At CACI, our fundamental commitment to honesty, integrity and ethics guides everything we do. CACI does not condone, endorse or in any way abide misconduct by its employees. CACI also emphasizes its strong commitment to the basic American principle of the rule of law, due process and that people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
• Our specialty is information technology support and secure network communications services, including information collection and data analysis. We provide these solutions to federal agencies, the Intelligence Community and the military in support of America's homeland security and our national defense. Interrogation services are an extension of that work, which CACI provided in August 2003 in response to an urgent request by the U.S. Army, which did not have sufficient available personnel to carry out these vital operations in Iraq.
• The term "war profiteering" connotes an extreme and undeserved level of profit. As alleged in Robert Greenwald's propaganda DVD, "Iraq for Sale," applied to CACI, that term is a maliciously false accusation. The government received good value from CACI's work efforts and services. No one with access to the facts can reasonably and responsibly contend otherwise. For example, the company's contract was not a cost-plus contract and was less than 1% of the company's total worldwide business (revenue). Equally important, none of the inflated prices, purposeless activity, waste, fraud or abuse alleged in the video against other contractors had any application to CACI.
• CACI is a company of diverse and dedicated individuals, many of whom are former servicemen and women who have bravely served at some time in every branch of the U.S. military. Many CACI employees believed it was within their duty to serve in Iraq, and many of them voluntarily accepted great personal risk to support the U.S. mission there.
• CACI has served our U.S. federal government for the past 45 years, through nine presidential administrations, and from the Cold War to the "long war" on global terrorism. The Army has recognized the diligent service of civilian workers provided by CACI in several public reports and in sworn testimony to the U.S. Congress.
