On this show, on August 25th and 26th, I discussed with you (our listeners) many issues relating to operations in the ongoing war in Iraq. And on the 25th of August, I read you materials about the treatment of prisoners in Iraq, including excerpts from Marjorie Cohn's interview with Army Reserve Brigadeer General Janis Karpinski, who is now retired as a Colonel, and you might remember that Janis Karpinski was in charge of the Abu Ghraib prison, where prisoners were tortured and mistreated by American soldiers. And in the course of my show, I may have mentioned CACI, a corporation, and on the 26th I talked about the war, and I had an interview with Cindy Sheehan.
Remember that?
Well, about a month after those broadcasts, CACI PT and CACI International, two multi-million dollar companies started a lawsuit against me and Piquant, which is the company that owns Air America. In the lawsuit, which they started in federal court in Virginia, CACI PT and CACI International claim we committed defamation per se because I allegedly made "a number of false and defamatory statements about CACI" on my show, on August 25th and 26th.
CACI PT claims to be a corporation that "specializes in intelligence solutions and has provided intelligence services, including interrogators, to the United States military in Iraq, pursuant to contracts with the United States." CACI International, Inc. claims to be "an international corporation providing high technology and professional services, specializing in systems integration, managed network solutions, and information assurance."
