Abu Ghraib case against CACI dismissed [USA]

Arlington-based CACI International secured a long-fought victory Wednesday when a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit alleging its employees directed mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The judge did not explicitly rule on CACI’s role in the alleged abuse, instead deciding that because the incidents happened overseas, the U.S. District Court in Alexandria does not have jurisdiction to hear the case. The decision...could have broad implications for the growing corps of contractors who accompany U.S. troops around the world and are tasked with sensitive jobs…The dismissal reveals a “blind spot” in U.S. law, said Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor...[T]he plaintiffs will appeal the dismissal...[Also refers to Engility]
