Emails between NCIS and Marine Corps, re: DOD Directive re Detainee Death Investigations
June 21, 2004 | NCIS | ACLU-RDI 556
Series of emails regarding procedures to follow regarding bodies of deceased detainee at Al-Taqaddum Air Base ("TQ"). NCIS emails instructs recipient to "try to find that body, we’ll exhume if possible." In response to resistance to exhumation plans, a later email states, "I feel we need to engage HQMC to press down on the IMEF/DIV to cease this interference, our folks over there are under enough pressure without fighting these internal USMC battles just to do what we’re requiring them to do.”
