CIA says ACLU-backed plan endangered Gitmo officers
By Bill Gertz
A team of CIA counterintelligence officials recently visited the U.S.
military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and concluded that CIA
interrogators face the risk of exposure to al Qaeda through inmates'
contacts with defense attorneys, according to U.S. officials.
The agency's "tiger team" of security specialists was
dispatched as part of an ongoing investigation conducted jointly with
the Justice Department into a program backed by the American Civil
Liberties Union. The program, called the John Adams Project, has
photographed covert CIA interrogators and shown the pictures to some of
the five senior al Qaeda terrorists held there in an effort to identify
them further.
Details of the review could not be learned. However, the CIA
team came away from the review, conducted the week of March 14, "very
concerned" that agency personnel have been put in danger by military
rules allowing interaction between the five inmates and defense
attorneys, according to an intelligence source close to the review.
