AP DETAINEE + ACLU FBI , ARMY, DoD – Investigative Tracking

NEWS FOR VOLUNTEERS:

1) Plover (Scott) has set up a page for us at DKosopedia.

2) Plover will set up a “format for describing each dossier” at DKosopedia. Dossiers link.

3) Plover has transferred Subtropolis’s great new list of acronyms and abbreviations to DKosopedia. (Same list: BooTrib diary.)

NOTE: If you are NEW to BooManTribune.com, please register. You can then post comments and diaries immediately.

This diary is for VOLUNTEERS covering A.P. DETAINEE docs, US ARMY ACLU May 6 docs, DoD/ACLU files (May 6, 2005) + Army Investigative Files (April 21, 2005) + Defense Intel (April 20, 2005) + MORE.

NOTE: I’ve opened a new DISCUSSION DIARY, where you can chat, ask questions, help each other, express ideas, share discoveries. (In this “working diary,” I delete every post that isn’t essential. Please don’t post unless you’ve got a KEY TIP to help others. I’ve saved all erased posts, if you need to see them.

BELOW THE FOLD: A table of volunteers + documents assigned or chosen.

At this point — while I’m still assigning new volunteers with tasks — please don’t send me your findings. Sadly, I don’t have time to read them. Instead, for now, post your findings here — this is the discussion diary for all volunteers.

Another tip: If you’re working on one section of a large document, consider contacting those who are working on sections immediately BEFORE or AFTER yours (USE the TABLE below]. You may have much to share with each other — before you post your findings.

Notes: I am not an investigator. I find reading these documents to be often difficult (particularly the handwritten portions of the U.S. Army documents released last week). So, we’ll do the best we can.

Our output form is evolving. Stay tuned. This is what I wrote earlier: Out of our work, we can post joint, or individual, investigative reports. We’re a team, and we’ll get joint credit for our work. However, if your section doesn’t relate to other sections reviewed by others, you may publish your own report. Please REFER to this project so we can get more volunteers.

Besides those who’ve written e-mails to me, you may sign up for a chunk of the documents below or by sending me e-mail.

If you don’t see an open spot below for document research, go here to the ACLU list of FOIA documents, select a document – keeping in mind that some of those links take you to as many as 19 sections — and e-mail me immediately so I can add you to the list below.
