The DoD documents only go back to 2006. However there are planning memoranda on talking points going back to 2004, and email from 2005.

Why didn't DoD provide emails, briefings, and other material before 2006?

Here is a sample timeline. Notice there are revisions. These are not the same as changes in DoD policy.

As you review the DoD FOIA disclosures consider the changes in policy, guidance, or updates to doctrine. These changes may or may not be reflected in this archive. It will be interesting to notice how progress in Iraq, and the success/failure of information warfare did or did not change DoD information warfare doctrine, and then affect how DoD attempted to update and adjust their domestic disclosures through the retired military officers.

J-7 , Figure I-3 shows who is doing what in information warfare.

It will be useful to show how these DoD FOIA-releases fit in with this larger DoD strategy.

II-14 in the 1998 edition shows the targets of this information warfare.

IV -4 shows how the DoD staff officers were organized pre-2006; their functions; and how the information was organized within DoD.

On issues of NSA and domestic media messaging, you will want to look at the NSA telecom contractors who had access to the intercepts; and how NSA contractors worked with DoD using these classified contractors to engage in media messaging.

Look at Chapter V to see how the DoD FOIA responses fit in with the larger information warfare planning.

Is this the information outside counsel has been linked to on rendition?

Page 33 is the quality survellance plan.

Have any legal counsel connected with these types of contracts had war crimes issues raised?

Which legal counsel have filed motions to demand information from US government personnel discussing these alleged war crimes attached with these media messaging contracts?

Can they explain their role in the White House email retention efforts, their audits of rendition-related contracts, and their interest in providing legal counsel to White House/DoJ staffers alleged to have improperly used email?

Why didn't Miers' known connection with her law firm, an expert on data forensics, get applied?

How does this fit in with the 2007 digital data conference at the OMNI hotel?

Key phrase: Digital data forensics.

This trip through Germany looks strangely like what would be required through CIA logistics for rendition, European detention centers.

Template for FOIAs

Subj: Geneva-COnnected Illegal Information Operations Against Civilians, POWs

*1 of 136.

The chart is a template for the discovery that can trump the attorney-client/executive privilege claims:

INFORMATION OPERATIONS PLANNING
RELATED TO DELIBERATE PLANNING

For these alleged Geneva violations, here is the template for discovery:

Figure V-3. Information Operations Planning Related to Deliberate Planning

The attorney-client privilege does not apply in this case: The fraud-crime exception applies. Once DOJ OLC sidelined the JAGs, it cannot be argued the DoD personnel had sufficient legal cover. It's irrelevant the Attorney General does not plan to enforce Geneva or FISA.

They key to understanding these briefings is exploring how the subsequent policies were to build off the Iraq invasion. In 2003, the WMD issue was not widely known to be a ruse. By 2005, they had to create stories about where did the WMD go? The "answer" was Syria.

It appears DoD did plant questions with the media to ask about things DoD wanted raised; DoD not only corrupt the "independent" analyst, but the media conducting "independent" reporting.

Page 2 of 6 Mentions "estimates" and "Syria". This has been discredited, and estimates were too low

Every time we estimate we find we end up with estiamtes that are too high.

Syria would implicate the Vice President's daughter, and civilian firms hired to trump up the "Syrian threat":

"And we do believe they are coming across the border from Syria."

Iraqi Manning Numbers

The President and Iraq NIE skewed Iraqi force readiness, even in 2008. Yet, this teleconference three years ago in 2005 would have us believe there were 155,000 trained Iraqi troops.

3 of 5. The President's charts on Iraqi manning to not track internally; nor are they consistent with the Iraq Independent Auditors' finding that plans are devoid of realistic goals.

"J-Rock"

Just an Opinion

3 of 6: LOok at McCausland's questions.

This isn't saying he knowingly did anything wrong or illegal. However, he appears to have been relying on the information from DoD to ask DoD questions. Given what we know in these DoD disclosures, this exchange does not appear to be a real media question. It's DoD talking to DoD, but creating the impression of something else.

Alleged Invalid Denial In re POW Abuses

Email visible, through open soruces:

alvin.plexico@osd.mil

Plexico is reported to have "denied" an attorneys allegations. This denial is admissible for purposes of impeaching Plexico in re alleged war crimes/prisoner abuse.

This has allegedly been refuted, and could be evidence of war crimes:

A military spokesman, Lieutenant Commander Alvin Plexico, denied the attorneys' accusations, saying that the Defense Department does not permit interrogators or guards to interfere in the relationship between detainees and their lawyers.From

The US is alleged to have, in violation of Geneva, not afforded POWs with all military trial procedures afforded to similarly situated military personnel under the UCMJ.

The alleged war crimes evidence is piling up.

These can be routed through NSA and Central Security Service where they are logged, as they wind their way.

Congress can test the time it takes for this alert message to go from the Joint Staff, and show as received. If the time is more than the requirement, you know there is a bottleneck; and that classified messages are not being timely routed.

- Where is the Joint Staff testing of this message system?

Alleged Link Between NSA, FISA Violations, POW Abuse

The DOD Joint Information Warfare guide establishes the link between the collection of data, transfer of that data to NSA, and how that data was used during domestic intelligence gathering using NSLs, FISA vioations, and work with the telecoms.

119 has names of people who allegedly:

- Knew about Nuremberg
- Explained away Geneva
- Knew of war crimes against POWs
- Did nothing
- Knew, or should have known, about the public affairs legal requirements to enforce/comply with the laws of war in use/distribution/application of information

This email is alleged war crimes evidence.

Alleged DoD Email With Connections To White House, State, NSC in re POW Abuse

119 shows White House staff names on a 2005 email in re alleged Geneva abuses.

This is the same as the US Attorney Firings: White House staff connection with the agency discussions.

"Dan Bartlet"
"Scott McClellan"
"Adam Erelija" erelija@state.gov
"Frederick L. Jones" (NSC)
"Katie Levinson"

Jones was NSC spokesman.

Is this the smoking gun showing the White House was well involved with the military analysts, and has known since 2005 of alleged war crimes issues?

DoD-State connection implies that DoD would be routing this through the White House, to ensure State, White House and DoD were on the same page.

JCON File Access Records

Senate and House Judiciary should ask the FBI to review who inside DOJ OLC accessed the JCON database to review this cell phone number, and why it was provided (without any trace) to their friends in the White House.

Check which Blackberry was connected to which wifi; and why the laptops have been still used, despite no trace in JCON.

Senate Intelligence Committee should get an explanation from the NSA why there is no traceable record from inside JCON or the White House Administration office linking this data. The real answer will take you to the data repackaging program NSA uses to segregate authorized from non authorized surveillance of American civilians.

The DOJ OLC has a hard time explaining why NSA cannot duplicate the above.

- What else is going on that they don't know about?

- How were the JCON records and WH emails accessed with this information, but there is no record of who entered the facility, used the computers, but was able to leave no trace on the video equipment? Nobody would think to access JCON. Don't look there.

- Who was hired to change the video tapes? Videos, what videos?

- When were the neighbors paid substantial funds to never discuss who contacted them to discuss the above information? It never happened. Nobody is talking about the NSLs.

- Is there a secret wifi which the DOJ OLC, FBI and NSA don't know about, but which can access to classified, redacted information inside the President's office; and provide this to the Congress without detection or trace? That's impossible. Nobody would ever go to the copy office in Arlington to avoid detection near the Metro. Addington wasn't there.

DoD tracking military analyst media comment on NSA surveillance, domestic spying, Torture, and Propaganda

This TPMM comment focuses on the references in these charts to the NSA spying, surveillance, and FISA, torture and propaganda.

The Roman Numerals are for identification only, and not included in the original.

This is a summary only. The original charts have more information. This comment does not contain all categories from the DoD charts.

We've only summarized one version of the quotes. There are three different charts. Some of the quotes are not exact matches between the three charts. See the follow-up section.

DoD contractors appear to monitor both electronic broadcast, and print.

Chart Format, Contract Requirements

There are three packages.

1. Summary p. 250, Charts 251-255
2. Summary p. 256, charts 257-264

(Break, without summary)

3. Charts 265-268

The dates on the media-releases are reverse chronological: Most recent at the top. However, it appears the FOIA-response placed the pages in the reverse order. You'll notice that the most recent information is

This suggests there is a sliding scale, or a rotation in the monitoring from most-recent to oldest, and the contract calls for displaying information for the past X-days. It's unclear whether they have another, non-disclosed format or pattern to organize the information.

The DoD Chart has many categories. This comment only focuses on four of them
- Domestic surveillance
- Domestic spying
- Torture
- Propaganda

There are no editorial comments about the information
- Unclear why DoD is using the word "spying" in one, or "surveillance" in another
- Unclear who provided these categories

Topic Analysis

1. NSA Illegal Activity

The spin is NSA surveillance was to prevent an attack. In truth, legal counsel discloses the goal was to be able to say, "Despite a second attack, we did all we could." The goal wasn't to prevent an attack, but to make the case after the second attack that they did everything they could.

2. Propaganda

The contractor made the point of emphasizing the quote was about Iraq, suggesting that they may have known about something else warranting the known policy and requirement to clarify the propaganda was not about the United States.

Significance, Materiality

Using the phrase "domestic spying" tends to confirm a DoD interest in something that is real that they would have us believe is "alleged": the need for FISA immunity.

DoD doesn't explain why they are tracking something that is simply alleged. The tracking suggests there is something real, otherwise they wouldn't bother with it.

Editorial Comments:

A. Access To "Private" information

Irony, the US government and others would have us believe that they have a claim to privacy to personal ID information, yet that information has been disclosed.

B. Concern Not Narrowly With Public

Analyst Jack Jacobs suggests the concern is the public's. However, the FOIA response suggests the concern is with the government. When the public has access to personal information, oversight, the media, and public can trace US government communications from DoD to the White House and intelligence community.

C. Questionable Basis For FOIA Redactions

There is publicly disclosed information outside the FOIA response. The FOIA response has some redactions. However, the public information helps fill in the holes of the redacted information. This raises questions whether the original FOIA redactions were valid.

Follow-up

1. Quotes Not Exact

253, 259, and 267 are not exact matches: The quotes are not duplicating. Part of the quotes from one page are cut off and not complete on other pages. This will need some follow-up to find the exact changes in the quotes between the three pages: What meaning there is in not providing the same quotes between the three separate pages.

2. Pagination

There is a break between pages 264 and 265 on the tables, but there is no summary provided in the FOIA release at the start of the third package on page 265. Why?

3. Questionable FOIA Privacy Redactions

Are they unreasonably redacting information on "privacy" grounds, yet that information is publicly available. Is the intent of the redaction not to hide private information, but to prevent the public from understanding the nature of the email and its connection with questionable domestic intelligence-related activities.

4. Web Based Summaries Not Included

These are only DoD-connected military analysts. The reasonable question is to consider the tracking, monitoring, and organizing DoD does of the web. Suggests DoD uses substantial contracting resources to track the web-based commentary, not directly affiliated with DoD?

Possible Alleged War Crimes Evidence Email Source

OSD Password Code Software Developer ID, Email, and Possible War Crimes Evidence

Issue: Possible location of backup White House email/software development contractor data.

The email below shows us the password coding. The document shows which specific contractor created a message related to this code. By analogy, another software engineer linked with the White House must have done some testing, development on the White house email and other programs.

This email forms the basis to inquiry into DoD software contractors records to seek all White house-connected communications related to software development efforts posted on any public or private message board.

The goal of this discovery:

- Identify similar contractors discussing software development efforts on White House email
- Determining who else they coordinated with to develop this software
- Whichemails they were using
- Other sources where these White house-emails might be stored and retained
- Other firms and contractors in DoD that may have copies of the emails to develop, test, and implement the WH software email

Colonel Ken Allard

Disclosed: allardck@aol.com

Colonel Allard,

You wrote a book, "Business As War." Yoo looked as Americans as disguised terrorists. Do you view American citizens as the enemy?

Could you explain why you were not able to apply all your experience and connections with data warehouse security to ensure the White House data, emails, and other things were protected?

How long have you known Ramon Barquin?

Is there a reason you did not ensure Ramon Barquin's expertise was not provided to the White House to ensure the White House emails were adequately retained, preserved, and located in a suitable/secure backup location?

You were featured in November 1997 Review which covers data warehousing, data mining. Could you comment on how you were selected to be a military analysis; your connection with the White House; your expertise on data mining; but the problems with the White House email retention?

The colonel is quoted as "authority on information warfare," yet DOJ OLC Yoo's memo said warrants were not required for DoD operations domestically. Without a warrant requirement, what is the Colonel's view of permissible information warfare against American civilians:

- How many private email accounts can the NSA or DoD or FBI review without a warrant?

- Are there restrictions on which DoD-related retired military personnel should or should not have their emails accessed or reviewed?

- What were you told would be the reason your email would be redacted, despite it being publicly available through other media?

The DoD letter is not adequate. It incorrectly leaves the impression that some information is redacted for personal reasons or national security. These claims are not supported by the record.

THe redacted emails are not, as DoD says, "private" but have been disclosed in public. It appears DoD is thwarting access to some emails and names to make it difficult to trace the link between the DoD analysts and the contractors' data forensics, information security, and other alleged FISA-connected illegal activities.

Disclosure of Option Study For White House

This email could be read several different ways:

- An idea by someone eager
- A ruse objection that turns to support the President
- An option study involving the White House
- Creating the impression that the DoD is "handling" for the White House a "difficult" analyst, who is (behind the scenes) someone DoD is grooming to support DoD.

We need more information about this issue to make an informed judgement. It appears there is some deception being planned to win favor with the White House.

What if, to earn brownie points, we let the white house know we have a plane fueled and ready for an analyst trip and asked if they had any analysts they need to get off their radar with a trip? . . . We could have a win win on this if we were willing to stomach whomever the white house sent our way.

The "goal" was to get analysts "off the radar".

Another view

Is DoD suggesting that an analyst might be "opposed" to Guantanamo, and then use the Guantanamo trip to "convince them" of something "new"?

What evidence do we have that the military analysts had a public view which contradicted their real view; then "changed" their view to attract the opposition to the President?

No explanation for the inconsistency:

"Why the Cuban Trade Embargo Should Be Maintained"

- Why aren't the Cubans able to realize the same thing as the Vietnam?

- Why is the assertion -- that the "only" way to help Vietnam, through trade -- not applicable to Cuba?

- If something applies to Cuba, why should the opposite apply to someone else in Vietnam?

Barstow, NYT writes

"We knew we had extraordinary access," said Timur J. Eads, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and Fox analyst who is vice president of government relations for Blackbird Technologies, a fast-growing military contractor.

Like several other analysts, Mr. Eads said he had at times held his tongue on television for fear that "some four-star could call up and say, 'Kill that contract.' " For example, he believed Pentagon officials misled the analysts about the progress of Iraq's security forces. "I know a snow job when I see one," he said. He did not share this on TV.

White House, Legal: Sample Media Coordination Plan

Here is a sample communications plan. This specific (example) plan is developed from a template in a DoD guide or regulation.

This sample plan shows why the White House and NSC were on the distribution list for a specific DoD new release.

Information Warfare Categories

These categories match the information warfare guidelines in the Annex:

AUDIENCE PRINCIPAL STAFF TARGETS TACTICS STATUS

Coordination Template

Note the coordination (at the end), which matches the names on the list to the White House, NSC:

COORDINATION: NSC Communications Office, OSD-POLICY, OSD/LA, JCS/PA, USSTRATCOM/PA, NORTHCOM/PA, DOS Space Policy, DNI/PA, O/PA, DHS/PA, DOD OGC, MDA/PA, NASA

Template: Legal Coordination

The DoD templates for a public relations issue includes standard office symbols to notify in an event or situation.

The list in this comment includes DoD OGC, "general counsel," which matches the legal coordination through the White House.

The plan or template which DoD used must have included automatic notification of the White House counsel (Bartlet).

Problem of Non-Lawyers Appealing To Ignorance

Legal frameworks exist to detain persons. Those are called the laws of war and Constitution.

The United States, despite Nuremberg and the war crimes of Vietnam, would have us believe they still have no procedures to detain non-charged civilians. This assertion, if proven true, could be a fatal assertion. Claiming there is no guidance guiding anyone how to detain civilians, when there is guidance or should be guidance.

"Unfortunately, no military doctrine, framework, or process currently exists for finding and apprehending Persons of National Interest"

This quote is important. It's located on DoD sites, contractors, and DoD-related academic pamphlets. It is an appeal to confusion, lack of clarity, or ignorance. It is similar to the DOJ OLC claims in re Geneva.

Case Study of McClellan's-Disclosed Propaganda

Hanyes statements on POW abuse must be looked at as a subset of propaganda, not as merely a legal statement relative to US government orders. The proper framing of the evidence isn't merely whether the conduct did or didn't violate Geneva; but how the President and Haynes shifted attention, using propaganda, from

(a) the illegal activity and

(b) treaty obligations on the US as a detaining power,

["the former"]

the illusion of something required or permitted under the President's power.

["the latter"]

This Presidents Goals of Propaganda Relative To Legal Requirements

We can compare the former and latter statements above, and see that they are consistent with McClellan's disclosed propaganda goals:

Comparing Former and Latter

(a) The former is the legal requirement; the latter is the propaganda to distract attention from the former;

(b) The goal is to answer the questions using the latter, but appear to be the former.

(c) The latter shows there was no plan to comply with the law; but to create the illusion with propaganda that the latter was permitted, as a smokescreen from the former.

Am Example

This fax shows how Haynes' response is consistent with McCellan-disclosed Presidential propaganda: Shifting the focus from the problem, to the area the President wants to emphasize.

In this case, Haynes is shifting attention from the illegal activity, POW abuse, and unlawful orders, and shading the response in terms of the theme: Gathering information to wage warfare; and narrowly focusing on whether that treatment is or isn't "torture," without addressing

(a) the legal requirements under Geneva;

(b) restrictions against abuse.

This statement is irrelevant, in that it doesn't address whether the interrogators are or are not meeting their legal obligations under Geneva; or whether the treatment is or isn't abuse.

"United States policy condemns and prohibits torture"

This statement is misleading in that the "policy" has no relationship to GEneva; and the issue isn't whether someone's orders were or weren't consistent with policy; but whether the POW treatment was or wasn't consistent with the law.

Questions for Haynes

The upcoming questions for Haynes need to focus on the President's view of power; how DoJ OLC plans to thwart enforcement of contempt; how the President views Presidential orders in relationship to Geneva obligations on the US as a detaining power.

A legal policy should not require any provision for any defense. The DOD actions are not consistent with a presumption of legality. The MCA includes langauge expressly providing defense dollars for US defendants before international tribunals. The DoD emails show US peronnel were involved with coordinating news stories on the MCA. The DoD emails show Haynes, Feith, and DoJ counterparts were involved with coordinating legal issues on POW abuse, NSA violations, and warrantless interrogations of US citizens. Yoo's legal statements on warrantless use of DoD combat forces against American citizens is consistent with this presumption the President's orders are lawful merely because they flow from the powers delegated in the Constitution.

1. Hayes oath of office includes a legal requirement to enforce the Supreme Law and all US treaty obligations. When does Haynes recall taking his oath of office, and his first review of the attorney standards of conduct?

2. The President relies on propaganda. Why is there any focus on "torture" when the relevant legal obligation of the US is through GEneva banning all abuse?

3. The President's oath of office is to the US Constitution and Supreme Law. Where in the Constitution is there any language that the President may ignore treaty obligations?

4. The President's oath to enforce the Constitution includes a legal duty on the President to ensure treaty obligations on the United States -- as a detaining power -- are enforced, regardless the status of the prisoner. Where is the language in the Constitution that expressly removes treaty obligations from the Supreme Law, which the President by oath agreed to enforce?

5. There was some discussion where to hold the POWs. Some argued Geneva didn't apply, and ignored the United States' obligations as a detaining power. If there was "no concern" that Geneva "did not apply," why was there effort to put the Prisoners in Guantanamo, and not place them in the United States: Why didn't the President put the prisoners in the United States on the assertion that "GEneva didn't apply to the prisoners, regardless their location"?

6. The MCA confers legal defense funds to people who might be tried before international tribunals. This smacks of a reward to those who first ignored Geneva. This raises questions why the public or US Treasury should assist Americans who, on their own, decided the laws were not applicable. The MCA confers funds to those who did not show respect to the Supreme Law. If the President's orders were lawful, and treatment proper, what role did Haynes play in coordinating language within the Military Commissions Act that would provide defense dollars for US government officials brought before war crimes tribunals?

7. The JAGs were very clear with their warnings about war crimes adjudication. the JAGs told him in writing that civilians, legal counsel, and civilian policy makers could be prosecuted for war crimes for illegal policy making. What was Haynes' reaction when informed of this risk; and why was there no plan to ignore the President's orders and ensure all activity fully complied with Geneva requirements?

8. Nuremberg precedents were instructive to commanders in Vietnam. Addington and others called the conventions quaint, but they remain part of the Supreme law. When did Haynes review in law school Nuremberg, the laws of war, and the precedents adjudicated under the Geneva conventions including the issues of Lt Calley?

9. Geneva requires a competent tribunal to determine a prisoner's status before denying them of any Geneva protections. It is 2008, seven years after capture, and the tribunals have made no legal determination to their status. Why were prisoners, on assertion alone without a trial, labeled "unlawful enemy combatants" and denied protections Geneva confers?

Presidential View of Permitted Information Warfare Strategies

The President, auditors, lawyers, and GOP leadership never did a logic-flow diagram when establishing policies to gather information, decide if legal protections should or should not be denied, or whether information should or should not be rejected.

A. Input (POW abuse): A source of (unreliable) information;

B. Output (DoD emails): A source of propaganda about that (unreliable) information.

Policies must be established, and cannot change on the basis of arbitrary reasons. In this case, the implicit problem is the President was adjusting the contours of the law not based on a firm legal foundation or legal standard, but on information unrelated to a legal standard.

Information was accepted/rejected not on the basis of reliability, but whether it supported the President's agenda. This is a lesson for the

- Iraq WMD
- Jury tampering
- US Attorney firings
- DoD emails
- POW abuse, rendition, detention
- FISA violations
- DoJ OLC memos
- Warrantless interrogations
- Violations of attorney-client privilege
- Illegal warfare
- Lack of imminent threats to the US
- Statements about beliefs about WMD as a distraction from whether WMD was or was not an imminent threat
- Statements about why the President ordered an invasion of Iraq; vs why the United States attorneys did not prosecute Saddam in US Courts, supposedly (according to the President on the USS Lincoln) the man behind 9-11
- Presidential signing statements

McClellan shows the goal of information warfare/propaganda/Presidential media campaigns wasn't to achieve a concrete result, but to show the information warfare campaign was manipulating the target audience. Results on the ground were secondary to shaping perceptions of that disaster, problem, illegal activity, or flawed policy. In McCellan's view in What Happened the media didn't focus on the facts on the ground, or the soundness of the arguments for or against war; but whether the President was or wasn't generating support for illegal activity through this media propaganda.

Information Reliability depended on whether the information was or wasn't connected with an ideology, not reality.

Let's review how the information warfare doctrine relates to POW abuse and Presidential power. It's important to review the assumptions behind abuse, and whether all information from that abuse was considered reliable or unreliable.

Notice the contrast on what information was or wasn't rejected. Some prisoner denials -- from abuse -- were rejected, the basis for the rejection has nothing to do with the information or POW treatment, but whether the information was or wasn't consistent with the original assumptions behind the abuse of power. Decision rule:

(a) If the information was consistent wth the assumptions behind the power -- that all action was lawful -- then the information was "reliable";

(b) Information that did not support the expansion of Presidential power was considered unreliable.

DoD Emails and Policies Circuarly Support Illegal Assertions of Power

The sweeping assertion of "Presidential power" was used to justify any and all action. All actions taken in concert with this assertion of power was presumed lawful.

The problem is whether the actions against the POW -- to get information -- produce reliable or unreliable information. The DOD policies show the goal was not to generate reliable information, but to generate information that would support the President's original assertion of power. This is circular.

Here is one way to phrase theh problem:

Presidential Policy Mandating POW Abuse Until Prisoner (Rightly or wrongly) Makes A Confession Consistent With Assumptions Behind President's Assertion of Power

Let's put aside (for this comment only, for now) whether torture is or isn't legal; or whether the the President violated Geneva. FBI records show prisoners, presumably subjected to harsh interrogation, said they were not members of AlQueda.

However, the FBI records show, despite this abuse, the Americans could not get a confession. Rather, in this case, the prisoner despite that threat of death and harm, refused to admit any connection with the Taliban or AlQueda.

FBI Record

DETAINEES 3839-3842 Summary of FBI interview of detainee at Guantanamo Bay 04/09/02 Records detainee denying having relationship with Taliban or Al Qaeda.

Yet, the DoD memos from the lawyers show there was no plan to enforce Geneva against POWs accused of being connected with the Taliban:

Attorney Agreement

"All lawyers involved in these discusses agree the War Crimes Act does not apply to any action taken by US officials with respect to al Qaeda

It's All Connected With Allegedly Illegally Classified Programs

This is a much larger scale than Iran-Contra or Watergate. The NSA-CIA appear to be using this data with DoD-NSA-connected contractors in Garland, Texas.

There is disclosed information showing the CIA-connected contractors are involved with some complicated reverse software engineering. Here is the link between the DoD emails, the SASC provided information, and the NSA contractors conducting the fiber optic interceptions:

Defense Red Switch Network

All types of data can be sent. These entities appear to be directly connected with the DOJ Small Business translation area.

One of the NSC's concerns is the ability to intercept this data appears to have been compromised, and they've been unable to determine the extent of the leakage; or the technical methods of interception, which do not appear to be detectable within the Presidentially-connected communications. They're not sure how much has been compromised, who has it, or how the information was leaked.

The problem is Yoo's memo has opened the door to using Combined Theater Analyst Vetted Relational System against American civilians without the required warrants.

Hamilton's Federalist 23 in re FISA, DoD Emails, Information Warfare, Iraq WMD, and NSA Warrant Compliance Requirements, and Congressional Responsbility and Duties to Enforce Law

Hamilton wrote Federalist 23 to justify a Federal government, with three branches; as opposed to the Articles of Confederation, which diluted power at the State level. The responsibility of common defense rested with the United States government, not with the States or the President.

The issue of whether Congress or the President does or doesn't have power isn't what Federalist 23 is about. Federalist 23 is about assigning power to the US government, not the States under the Articles of Confederation:

Hamilton: "The principal purposes to be answered by union are these -- the common defense of the members; the preservation of the public peace as well against internal convulsions as external attacks; the regulation of commerce with other nations and between the States; the superintendence of our intercourse, political and commercial, with foreign countries.

"The authorities essential to the common defense are these: to raise armies; to build and equip fleets; to prescribe rules for the government of both; to direct their operations; to provide for their support. These powers ought to exist without limitation"

Note, there is no "powers" (plural) attached to Article II, but to the entire US government. The President only has one power: Executive Power.

Article I, II, and III show there is an intended difference (emphasis added) between how power is mentioned for each branch of the United States government, as opposed to the failures of the Articles of Confederation:

Article I, plural: "All legislative Powers herein granted" (plural) shall be vested in a Congress"

Article II, singular: "The executive Power (singular) shall be vested in a President"

Article III, singular: "The judicial Power (singular) of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court"

The President has no "powers"; he only has the power to enforce the law. He has no power to write law, or ignore the law; nor assert a perversion of Hamilton's Federalist 23. Seeing no authority in the Constitution, the Federalists are denied any claim that they can exclude the Congress or Judiciary from overseeing the President in his abuse of Power in NSA violations, POW abuse, war crimes, or other illegal activity.

Evidence in DoD Emails of Perversion of Federalist 23 in re FISA Violations

Yoo, Addington, Gonzalez, and the legal team working for the President turned Hamilton's 23 on its head, and asserted the "government" meant the President, not the three branches.

NYT 6631 establishes the link between the perverse view of Federalist 23, Addington, Yoo, Gonzalez:

DoD Emails: "Another president will have to take over this war when Mr. Bush leaves office in three years. And that next president may not share _. or be bound by --the sentiments expressed in a signing statement. President Bush, if faced with a FISA amendment that creates a limitation on his inherent power, should veto the bill."

Hamilton did not say that the President should have the sole power of war making; but the United States government (not the states) should have this power:

Hamilton: "The result from all this is that the Union ought to be invested with full power to levy troops; to build and equip fleets; and to raise the revenues which will be required for the formation and support of an army and navy, in the customary and ordinary modes practiced in other governments."

Key Principle: The United States' government's legal counsel claims in re "inherent authority" is not a defense, but evidence of the legal community's complicity with the President's unconstitutional activity.

The use of the NSA and military forces against civilians -- as the illegal wiretapping does -- is governed by law; and must meet the "general welfare" standard of enforcing the requirement. The President did not meet Hamilton's intent in Federalist 23. Hamilton said the rules were part of the United States government, and essential to managing:

Hamilton: "The authorities essential to the common defense are these: to raise armies; to build and equip fleets; to prescribe rules for the government of both; to direct their operations; to provide for their support.

Once Hamilton mentions plural-power, he can only mean the US Government as a whole, not the President or Congress or Judiciary. This is the central flaw of the "inherent authority" argument of the Federalists in re the President's unchecked power in re AUMF, FISA, POW abuse, Iraq WMD, and information warfare. There is no Constitutional foundation for the President -- on his own -- to ignore the law, and claim the Congress cannot interfere. That claim, in itself, is not a defense, but evidence of unconstitutional activity by legal counsel.

Hamilton wrote the obligations for this management, belonged to the members [plural] of the government, which expressly means he was not referring to the President, but to all US government officers. Indeed, the goal of the rules was not exclusively to provide for common defense, but the common welfare, meaning: The President, Congress, and Judiciary shared joint, overlapping responsibility to ensure the laws related to FISA warrants were enforced, not ignored.

Hamilton: ''As their requisitions are made constitutionally binding upon the States, who are in fact under the most solemn obligations to furnish the supplies required of them, the intention evidently was that the United States should command whatever resources were by them judged requisite to the "common defense and general welfare." ''

FISA, Geneva: Congressional Duty and Responsibility

When the States are ordered to violate the Supreme law, that is not a lawful obligation on the states. The command of those resources is governed by law, and jointly shared by all at the Federal government, not just the President. Hamilton's remarks have been perverted. The responsibity for defense is not with the President, but with the United States government.

Legislative power is asserted through legislation. Without enforcement of that legislation, the Congress is ineffectual. Note the key words in the following excerpt: Duty, and responsibility, which, through the oath, binds all US officials to ensure the United States government -- with its three branches -- take all efforts to enforce, defend, and preserve the Constitution, not the President's claim on absolute power to wage war:

Hamilton: "Who is likely to make suitable provisions for the public defense, as that body to which the guardianship of the public safety is confided; which, as the centre of information, will best understand the extent and urgency of the dangers that threaten; as the representative of the WHOLE, will feel itself most deeply interested in the preservation of every part; which, from the responsibility implied in the duty assigned to it, will be most sensibly impressed with the necessity of proper exertions; and which, by the extension of its authority throughout the States, can alone establish uniformity and concert in the plans and measures by which the common safety is to be secured?"

A Remedy of Articles of Confederation

The goal of Hamilton wasn't to argue the President had total power; but to argue the United States government was needed to do what the Articles of Confederation failed to do. Hamilton's 23 nowhere says Congress has no role, duty, or responsibility to assert Article I Section 8 rule making powers designed to govern and manage how the United States' government's power is used.

Addington's Response to Conyers' Question on Unitary Theory

There is evidence in 2008 the Federalists did incorrectly assert the "government" is the same as the "executive". It is not. Look at the disagreement in how Addington responded to Conyers question: He did not use the same word, confusing "Government" and "executive" when discussing "unitary" theory of power.

Also, there is other evidence linking the Federalists with another perversion. Gonzalez legal counsel is linked with a white paper narrowly asserting the "inherent" power of the President do do things. This is another perversion of Federalist 23.

What You Can Do

You are encouraged to closely study Federalist 23, and examine how the President, Yoo, Gonzalez, and Addington perverted Hamilton's remarks; then explore how that perversion translated into FISA violations, POW abuse, and illegal warfare in Iraq. Also, review how the perversion would have us (incorrectly) believe Congress has no role. It does. And their inaction on these issues, which Hamilton would likely be shocked, could be the basis to prosecute Members of Congress for malfeasance on FISA violations, POW abuse, and war crimes.

DoJ Staff Helps DoD

There's a line of evidence linking the DOJ Staff with the DoD military analysts. The information supports the concerns related to DOJ Staff support, how easily they are available.

NYT 5893:

We have the DOJ staff scheduling to do a background media call

DoD can call across town, get the DoJ staff to do something. yet, we're asked to believe that the DOJ Staff had "nothing" to do with the prosecutions, jury interviews, or other FBI-related interviews.

NYT 5903:

Dallas Lawrence:

"we have been in contact late last night with the DoJ regarding analyst call with senior DOJ reps regarding the expected GTMO ruling today"

"Late night contacts" suggest a familiar relationship, and a way to quickly highlight the emails sent between DoD and DOJ. Normally, DoJ would, in the evening, focus on non-work issues. Once a work-related issue is, after hours, handled, that is normal. What is unusual:

A. How did the DoD personnel get their information to the head of the DOJ staff queue

B. What other emails did the DOJ Staff ignore that evening

White House Outreach Document

This document is one of the Trojan Horses within JCON to trace the DOJ connections to the White House.

- Where was this .doc file sent within DOJ as tracked through JCON, after DoD provided information to the DOJ Staff?

- Which classified email systems like SIPR Net were used by DOJ Staff to respond to the White House on this document?

- Where are the DOJ-WH liaison office records showing when the accessed, downloaded, reviewed, or changed this document?

- Which scheduled meetings occurred between DOJ, WH, and/or DOJ-WH liaison on this document?

- How were those phone calls, meetings, or other intractions memorialized on any DoJ, White House, or DoD record; do not limit the review to GOP, RNC, or public affairs/legal office.

Exception: Crime-fraud to breach attorney-client privilege on the White House counsel in re current court ruling in re Miers/Bolton. REcall, Rove's counsel is linked with DoD military analysts, subjecting them, as an independent entity, to discovery:

- When did Rove's counsel review this WH Outreach document; where did they send it; what contacts did Rove's counsel have with others directly or indirectly related to DOJ, WH-DOJ liaison, or other US government legal counsel on this WH Outreach document?

Not interested in the content, yet, of the conversations; only looking at the communications related to this alleged crime-fraud exception. President said FISA warrants were not needed to look at the header information; then Congress should not need anything special to review the same type of information of the President, outside counsel and others connected with this document.

From the following:

Paul E. Vallely was born in DuBois, Pa, and retired in 1991.

DoD should be reminded to stay out of domestic politics, unless they are proposing arresting the war criminal in the White House, and taking lawful military action to enforce the laws of war against the President.

6954

Now-Vice Presidential Nominee Senator Biden:

Babbin 2005, "The Vietnamization of Iraq": Biden --assuming the best of intentions in wonderful nations such as Iran and Syria --wrote, "Iraq's neighbors and the international community have a huge stake in the country's future. The president should initiate a regional strategy --as he did in Afghanistan --to leverage the influence of neighboring countries."

How many DoD emails are flying around the world because of Biden's political views in 2008 as a Vice Presidential Nominee?

DoD personnel have reported in emails that they do read the internet, and download Geneva Conventions from the internet. When will there be reasonable consequences on DoD personnel who, knowing of war crimes an inaction by the Speaker, take lawful military action to defend the Constitution against domestic enemies in the Congress and Oval Office?

The current excuses for inaction -- in Congress, AG, Oval Office, and State level -- are no longer acceptable. This is a reckless embarrassment for American governance and does not inspire world confidence in the "American approach" to the rule of law.

- What is specifically getting in the way of Combatant commanders working with the National Guard to enforce arrest warrants against the President, Vice President, and Speaker?

The Civilians running the military have violated the laws of war and abused their authority.
