  • ICP -- a New Concept for Support to Combatant Commanders
    DYNAMIC PAGE -- HIGHEST POSSIBLE CLASSIFICATION IS TOP SECRET // SI / TK // REL TO USA AUS CAN GBR NZL (U) ICP -- A New Concept for Support to Combatant Commanders FROM: PACOM Account Manager (S112) Run Date: 06/18/2004 FROM: PACOM Account Manager (S112) (S) Since assuming the newly formed post of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)) in March 2003, Dr. Stephen Cambone has made improving intelligence support to Combatant Commanders a priority. Based on the study "Taking Stock of Defense Intelligence" undertaken at his direction last fall, and lessons learned from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), the USD(I) has introduced a new concept called "Intelligence Campaign Planning." The effective support of Combatant Commanders requires support agencies to create very detailed plans and the USD(I) has initiated an effort to come up with a comprehensive methodology for developing an integrated, fully coordinated, and executable Intelligence Campaign Plan (ICP). (S) To help focus the ICP effort, a decision was made to develop a plan in support of the Combined Forces Command (CFC) Korea -- specifically OPLAN 5027. On 2 March 2004, the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Warfighting Support, LTG Boykin, and Joint Chiefs of Staff J2, MG Burgess, co-hosted a conference at the Pentagon to design the way ahead. (S) Representatives from the Services, a number of Commands, and the Intelligence Community attended. BG DeFreitas, United States Forces Korea (USFK) J2, provided an overview of OPLAN 5027, outlining the campaign's operational objectives and identifying the key Priority Intelligence Requirements for each phase of operations.

    The CIA and the Torture Controversy: Interrogation Authorities and Practices in the War on Terror Kenneth J. Levit* The purpose of this piece is to shed some light on the way the intelligence community operates, to describe how legal rules shape some of its most sensitive work, and to offer a perspective on the way the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA or Agency) fits into the debate about interrogation and torture. The debate is not about, and indeed cannot be about, whether our government should conduct torture. The answer to that question is and must be, by law and standards of human decency, no. As recently as March 2005, CIA Director Porter Goss reiterated the Agency’s position that it is bound by the laws banning torture and that the Agency adheres to those laws.1 But at a level deeper than the denials and the blanket statements, there is a difficulty that cannot be avoided. That difficulty lies not in the abstract form of the question, but in the real, on-the-ground scenarios that develop where interrogations are taking place. What can an interrogator do? When can she use deception, discomfort, fear, fatigue, punishment, physical contact, and similar tactics? Many in the academic community prefer to discuss this issue in hypothetical terms – often referring to a ticking nuclear bomb in Manhattan. The trouble is that appropriate analysis of the issue requires far more engagement in the operational details. That may be unsettling, but the academic community needs to go beyond mere hypothetical concerns. It * President, University of Oklahoma – Tulsa.
