NEWS FOR VOLUNTEERS:

1) Plover (Scott) has set up a page for us at DKosopedia.

2) Plover will set up a "format for describing each dossier" at DKosopedia. Dossiers link.

3) Plover has transferred Subtropolis's great new list of acronyms and abbreviations to DKosopedia. (Same list: BooTrib diary.)

NOTE: If you are NEW to BooManTribune.com, please register. You can then post comments and diaries immediately.

This diary is for VOLUNTEERS covering A.P. DETAINEE docs, US ARMY ACLU May 6 docs, DoD/ACLU files (May 6, 2005) + Army Investigative Files (April 21, 2005) + Defense Intel (April 20, 2005) + MORE.

NOTE: I've opened a new DISCUSSION DIARY, where you can chat, ask questions, help each other, express ideas, share discoveries. (In this "working diary," I delete every post that isn't essential. Please don't post unless you've got a KEY TIP to help others. I've saved all erased posts, if you need to see them.

BELOW THE FOLD: A table of volunteers + documents assigned or chosen.

At this point -- while I'm still assigning new volunteers with tasks -- please don't send me your findings. Sadly, I don't have time to read them. Instead, for now, post your findings here -- this is the discussion diary for all volunteers.

Another tip: If you're working on one section of a large document, consider contacting those who are working on sections immediately BEFORE or AFTER yours (USE the TABLE below]. You may have much to share with each other -- before you post your findings.

MEDICAL TERM/ANALYSIS HELP:

lastlemming @ mac.com aka Pam
NOTE:
Pam can help you with military and medical terminology. Pam is a physician, and ER-trained.

hiredman @ mac.com aka Tod
NOTE:
Tod does medical research and can help you with medical terminology

paulbsonm @ yahoo.com aka Mike
NOTE:
Mike is a physician.

vioblee @ yahoo.com also knows medical terminology

New medical experts eager to answer your questions: Kathy Lee, an RN and poli sci instructor, and her husband, a physician - katmlee@cox.net

MILITARY TERMS & ACRONYMS:

NEW list of acronyms: BooTrib diary, by Subtropolis (Thanks!)

lapin66us @ yahoo.com aka Lapin, a veteran, will gladly help you.

New volunteer: rmeisterkos@sbcglobal.net aka Robert (Robert also has a military background and has volunteered.)

Sven suggests the Acronym Finder

Oui has listed some acronyms in the comments section here.

DETAINEE HISTORIES, PHOTOS, etc.:

CAFL's detainee table will be very helpful to you. CAFL combines the FOIA doc links + the CagePrisoners.com info.

_______________________________________

Notes: I am not an investigator. I find reading these documents to be often difficult (particularly the handwritten portions of the U.S. Army documents released last week). So, we'll do the best we can.


Our output form is evolving. Stay tuned. This is what I wrote earlier: Out of our work, we can post joint, or individual, investigative reports. We're a team, and we'll get joint credit for our work. However, if your section doesn't relate to other sections reviewed by others, you may publish your own report. Please REFER to this project so we can get more volunteers.

Besides those who've written e-mails to me, you may sign up for a chunk of the documents below or by sending me e-mail.

If you don't see an open spot below for document research, go here to the ACLU list of FOIA documents, select a document - keeping in mind that some of those links take you to as many as 19 sections -- and e-mail me immediately so I can add you to the list below.

If you don't see an open spot above for document research, go here to the ACLU list of FOIA documents, select a document -- keeping in mind that some of those links take you to as many as 19 sections -- and e-mail me immediately (susanhu at earthlink . net -- so I can add you to the list above.

This diary exemplifies what we're trying to find. Stand Strong found this in the May 26 documents that we haven't gotten through yet.



Display:
http://action.aclu.org/site/PageServer?pagename=torturefoia

This is where we start.

FYI: Another volunteer and I tried to do the Army docs last week, but there were too many pages, and some of it is quite difficult to read unless one has 1) a large monitor and/or 2) can print out the pages.  That's because a lot of the Army docs are handwritten ... which means that searching each section won't help us.

Let's start at the top and work backwards. So, our first docs will be the FBI papers turned over and posted by the ACLU yesterday and today:

SECTION 1 of the FBI papers is organized by the ACLU on this page:
http://www.aclu.org/torturefoia/released/052605/
Then, the LINK to Section 1 is at the top.  
The page numbers are  pp. 1474-3834, reprocessed.

I just clicked on that link, and it looks like the entire 2400+ pages downloads at once.  Yikes.  Who wants to take the first 100 pages, and so on?

Just mark that you're taking pp. 1474 - 1700 -- something like that.  And the rest of us will pick other pages to check.

(How in the hell does the ACLU do this? They must have an army of workers on this!)

Feel free to send me inquiries regarding any acronyms you encounter that you question.  I'll do my best to decipher.  I was in the military for a number of years so may be able to help out.  You can e-mail me at lapin66us(at)yahoo(dot)com
by lapin on Thu May 26th, 2005 at 10:37:55 PM EST
For what it's worth, I ran up the docket sheet for this case (04 Civ. 4151 in the SDNY, for anyone who's interested) and noted that the most recent filed item is Judge Hellerstein's short approval of the CIA's request to get until July 15 to produce their documents.  The CIA noted that it has over 10,000 pages to review line-by-line for potential production.  Hellerstein's agreement to the extension is conditioned on there being no more requests for further delay.

Someone should remember this deadline to see what actually gets turned over then.

by The Maven on Fri May 27th, 2005 at 04:13:12 PM EST
Susan -- I'm fairly pressed with deadlines in the next few weeks (finishing one job, starting another), so I'm afraid that what I can offer to do is very limited. One place I might be able to help out with though, is actually with tricky handwriting (I trained as a medievalist, so learning to decipher horrible handwriting was kind of an occupational hazard)

If this would be of any use, just let me know here or on booman.

Keep up the amazing work.

I've transferred the acronym list to dKosopedia. I added a couple of new ones from the tribunal dossiers and made a couple of minor changes, but I haven't added in any updates from comments below this one.

IMHO, we should be moving any stuff like this that we want to update frequently to dKosopedia. Maybe you could add links to the resources you've been using.

by plover (rzhanka@yNOahooCA.PScom) on Tue May 31st, 2005 at 08:58:07 PM EST
I've set up a front page on dKosopedia for these researches. There's not much there, of course, but if you look at the source, I've tried to set up some useful naming conventions for links within the wiki.

IMHO, we should be putting our results in a format like wiki (i.e. dKosopedia) where the relations between different people's work can be made easier to see than in a comment thread (and typos and such can be fixed).

by plover (rzhanka@yNOahooCA.PScom) on Tue May 31st, 2005 at 09:13:22 PM EST
Scott, can you provide us with a "simpleton's guide" to using the "wiki" method. I've never used it before, and I'll bet I'm not the only one. THANK YOU for all you're doing! I see you noted on the DKosopedia page that: Dossiers [Editor's note: The next step is to come up with a format for describing each dossier. I'll try to get this done later tonight (May 30), if no one else volunteers. --plover] THANK YOU!

I asked Mike at the ACLU about this:

http://www.aclu.org/torturefoia/released/052605/
Section 1 says it contains "pp. 1474-3834, reprocessed"
But, when I opened Section 1, I only saw 100 pages.  Will more be
linked, Mike?

Mike replied:
the 100 pages are reprocessed pages from that 1474-3834 page range.

So, the rest of the pages are linked elsewhere. I haven't had a chance to look for those.  Nor do I know if those pages are important for us to review.  Anyone want to weigh in on that?

by susanhu (susanhuatearthlinkdotnet) on Thu May 26th, 2005 at 12:41:13 PM EST
However, I think we should check on the theft charges to see if there's a pattern.  You might also look for NEWS STORIES that corroborate this material.  If there are no news stories, that means this hasn't gotten out in the press.

I notice with the particular PDF I'm working on that there is no security set, so one is free to copy text or save file in RTF format if one is using the full version of Acrobat (not Reader). This particular file is short so that would not necessarily be an advantage with this one, but may be useful to others working on longer docs to enable easier searching or to extract sections of text that may be of interest.
by leckavrea on Mon May 30th, 2005 at 09:08:06 PM EST
Section 6 of the Army documents aren't relevant to our investigation.  It is an interesting read, but it has to do with several soldiers stealing over $4000 in US currency and 70,000 Iraqi dinars while conducting an apartment building search.
by Mote Dai (bickle_t (no spam) at (no spam) yahoo dot com) on Mon May 30th, 2005 at 10:34:15 PM EST
That's a war crime investigation.  And if they did it, there was a war crime.

I've got the section right after yours.  And I've found something you might need:

I've only had the time so far to read four of the hundred pages of my section (Section 5 of the 03/25/05 DoD release), and I've already noticed that the Army's redactors did a (luckily for us) really shitty job!  On the first page of my section (page 1181 of the release; page 2 of DA Form 2823, December 1998 version), the form mentions a prisoner whose jaw was broken, but the prisoner's name is blacked out.  But guess what?  On the very next page, his name - Salah Salih Jassim - was left alone!

by Phoenix Woman (womanphoenix AT yahoo DOT com) on Wed Jun 1st, 2005 at 10:22:22 PM EST
i've updated the big long list of abbreviations

plover: how do i get in touch with you so we can coordinate this with DKosopedia? I've added quite a lot of new lists and links. Post back here or mail me (email is in my diary).

Apparently has extensive documentation related to detainees.  They and the Red Cross at one time had extensive documentation related to the Geneva conventions.

Oh, there is one more detainee who has not been mentioned on that list.

Jose Padilla.

He is being held in South Carolina, not Cuba.
