CACI Rejects Lawsuit as Slanderous and Ludicrous
Frivolous Suit Based on False Statements Without Merit
Arlington, VA, July 27, 2004 CACI International Inc ( NYSE:CAI ) today issued the following statement: Today, a consortium of opportunistic lawyers filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C. The suit wrongfully alleges CACI employees participated in the abuse and torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison.
CACI rejects and denies the allegations of the suit as being a malicious and farcical recitation of false statements and intentional distortions. The suit alleges a plethora of heinous acts by employees that the company rejects and denies in their totality.
Neither the company nor any of its employees has been charged with any wrongdoing or illegal acts relating to any work in Iraq. The lawsuit filed against CACI is tantamount to an ambulance chasing and piling-on activity in a blatant attempt to extort financial gain. These falsehoods and inaccuracies demonstrate the utter lack of investigation prior to filing suit by the plaintiffs and their counsel.
The company has stated repeatedly that it will not condone, tolerate or endorse any illegal behavior at any time. The company will act forcefully and promptly if evidence is discovered showing that its employees acted in violation of the law or of CACIs policies. At the same time, the company will not rush to judgment on the basis of slander, distortion, false claims, partial reports, or any incomplete investigations. The company supports the concepts of the rule of law, due process, and the presumption of innocence.
In light of the frivolous and malicious nature of this lawsuit, as well as the apparent lack of any pre-filing investigation of the facts, the company stated it is examining its options for sanctions against the lawyers who participated in the filing of this lawsuit.
CACI continues to provide professional interrogation and analyst support services (an intelligence information gathering function) to the U.S. Army in Iraq. Since 1962, the company has successfully provided IT services during nine U.S. Presidential administrations that have had varying policies and objectives. With over 9,400 employees operating from over 100 office locations in the USA and around the world, CACI takes pride in satisfying its customers and in complying with the highest ethical standards.
CACIs advanced information technology solutions and intelligence support services in Iraq enhance military effectiveness. Our efforts also free up the troops for other critical military missions. Its U.S. military customers in Iraq have commended the company for its performance.
