Register Office admits it knew of census contractor's Abu Ghraib links [UK]

In a letter issued yesterday…the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) says that when it awarded…CACI a contract for Scottish census it was "fully informed by the company about the work which CACI (UK)'s US parent undertook at Abu Ghraib." GROS also admits that it knew of CACI's plans to censor the media by threats of legal action…[The letter] does not address the historical fact of CACI's involvement in the detention of people deprived of normal legal rights… Former Abu Ghraib prisoners have filed a number of lawsuits against CACI in US courts…[which] GROS misleadingly describe…as "unsuccessful." ...But the substance of the allegations [which include torture]…has yet to be considered in court…[also refers to L-3 Communications]
