US Government Behind Covert Hostile Acts Against US Forces

DoD is permitted to associate itself with hostile entities as cover for gathering intelligence.

However, DoD has lost control of these entities. Disturbingly, the US continues to provide indirect support to these hostile entities with the pretext of gathering intelligence. US toops have been killed by weapons the US government has provided to entities known to be hostile to the US ground commander.

SecDef needs to explain the problem and outline his plan to end the US government shipments to these entities hostile to ground troops in Iraq. SecDef should be prepared to explain what assistance he needs from Congress to shut down funding for any and all US government agencies which refuse to cooperate.

Reed, check item 95: Which DoD entities are known to be providing funds to openly hostile insurgents as a means to expand illegal warfare?

Dod and the intelligence communities have established in Iraq various arms shipment pipelines that they've lost control.

The DOD IG needs to explain the status of the audits into these entities.

Of concern are the DoD-affiliated entities which were covertly established to hide their connection to the United States.

Sadly, DoD and the intelligence community have lost control. Units indirectly associated with DoD are reported to have received, as part of their "cover story" shipments of US weapons which they have provided to Iraqi insurgents.

Congress is encouraged to consult with international trade counsel for assistance on how DoD is physically acquiring shipping documents to support these illegal shipments. Contractor data, memorandum, and legal messages related to these shipments need to be reviewed by DoD Staff Counsel.
