CACI Gets Iraq Prison Contract Despite Abuse Scandal

HeadlineAug 05, 2004

The U.S. Army yesterday awarded a $23 million no-bid contract to CACI International to continue providing private interrogators to gather intelligence in Iraq. This according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. CACI received the contract even though one of its interrogators was cited by the military for being involved in the prison abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison. Last week the treasurer of California recommended that the state pension fund divest itself from any CACI stock if the company remained in the business of providing interrogators.
