Army Investigating Poisoned Food Plot
February 18, 2010 - 6:35 PM | by: Justin Fishel
Fox News has learned that the Army is investigating allegations that five individuals attempted to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Chris Grey, a spokesman for the Army's Criminal Investigation Division, told Fox's Catherine Herridge that these are still just allegations, and so far "there is no credible information to support them". Nevertheless, an investigation is ongoing Grey said.

Two sources at Fort Jackson revealed that the five accused individuals were detained in December, and all were enrolled in an Arabic translation training program, referred to in the Army as "Lima 09". "Each of them uses Arabic as his first language", one source told Fox.

CBN Exclusive: Five Muslim Soldiers Arrested at Fort Jackson in South Carolina

CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas and are in custody. The five men were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the "Fort Jackson Five" may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

Coming as it does on the heels of November's Fort Hood jihadist massacre, this news has major implications.

Stay tuned to this blog for more details.

Hi,

In the political thread I posted a link to Rubio's CPAC speech today. You likely would enjoy his remarks on that very subject.

Fort Jackson Poison Plot - nothing there

FoxNews says that the US Army's Criminal Investigation Command (CID) is investigating reports of a plot by Muslim soldiers, enlisted as translators, to "poison the food supply" at Fort Jackson, SC, next to Columbia, the state's capital.

~snip~

I finished my Army career as the chief of public affairs for CID Command and became fairly expert in investigative procedures. If, after two months of investigation, CID agents have "no credible information to support the allegations," then I feel very safe saying that there is nothing to see there, move along. Nor should you take Mr. Grey's statement as misdirection or cover. If there were substantive leads for an ongoing investigation, he would have said simply that the investigation continues and then said nothing more about it. Army PAOs do not do cover up, they just shut up. After all, as my colonel kept reminding me when I was chief of media relations for XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, "you will never get into trouble for saying too little."

A word about CID. It is a major command of the Army, meaning that its commanding general (Brig. Gen. Colleen McGuire) reports to the Army's chief of staff. The full name is US Army Criminal Investigation Command, but the abbreviation is USACIDC, pronounced (practically all Army acronyms are pronounced rather than spelled out) "You-suh-sid-see." However, the most common referral is simply, CID, which is spelled out, "See-Eye-Dee."

They do both.

Couple of things on this.

First, Article 31 is a lot more demanding than Miranda and its 5th and 6th Amendment rules which apply to civilians, so no, they would not have been interrogated as foreign terrorists but would have had to have been read their Article 31 rights prior to any questioning.

Second, I don't know about Jackson in particular, but in TRADOC Soldiers in training are not usually assigned to DFACs, the DFAC ops are usually contracted out, for reasons of both quality and making the sure the Soldier gets the full program of instruction done on time without missing too many training hours for bullshit details like KP, which would get them wastefully recycled. Those POIs are pared down to the minimum time to get the maximum of Soldiers through, there is no time built into the POI for screwing around with extraneous duties. If they get punished with extra duty, they may find themselves getting delivered into the hands of the DFAC manager or mess steward after the training day is done for cleanup, but they would not normally have any access to the actual food service operation at the DFAC. Therefore this entire scenario doesn't really add up.

Third, I hope they eventually capture the vile criminals responsible for all the thousands of non-fatal poisonings at the 5-68 Armor and 1-2 Arty mess halls in 1976-79.

I'm with you, DAT. I can't tell you how many times I got "non-fatal" food poisoning from the Navy Galleys during that time. One instance was actually solved. Turns out that the cooks were storing hot foods in the refrigerator, right next to the eggs. Once I moved off base, the food poisoning ceased..... Hmmmm.......

Possible Fort Jackson Threat Probed

The Army has been looking for two months into allegations an attempt was being made to poison soldiers at Fort Jackson through the food supply, but the largest basic training post in South Carolina says no credible information to support the allegations has been found.

Fort Jackson issued this statement late Thursday night: "In December 2009, five Soldiers were investigated for potential verbal threats against fellow Soldiers. While the investigation continues there is currently no credible evidence to substantiate the allegations. At no time was there any danger to the Fort Jackson community."

A local law enforcement official familiar with the reports who insisted on anonymity said Thursday that there was no attempt made to poison any soldiers, adding that a rumor started when several disgruntled soldiers shot their mouths off late last year. There was never any threat, nothing credible, he insisted.

The investigation was first reported by Fox News and the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Both media outlets reported that five suspects were detained in December and were part of an Arabic translation program called "09 Lima." According to an article in the Army Times, "The 09 Lima program puts native speakers of Arabic, Dari, Pashtu, Farsi or Kurdish in uniform to serve alongside troops in combat."

Army spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Garver said he could not release any specifics of the investigation by the Army's Criminal Investigative Service to protect its integrity.

"I can say that, according to CID spokespersons, they have not found any credible information to substantiate the allegations," Garver, who's based at the Pentagon, said in an e-mail.

He said he is unaware of any arrests made in the investigation.

Fort Jackson puts more than 50,000 men and women through entry-level and advanced training courses every year. Its food service spans an array of some 13 dining halls and about 40,000 hot meals are served on the base daily.

You may feel that way, but I certainly don't. I have served with many Muslims, all of which fought against the kind of hatred that some of their clerics preach.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, no more then all Christians are abortion clinic bombers.

I was at Ft Jackson for a week in June of 1980 bfore being sent to Benning for my Infantry basic/AIT. I hated the food then and that was in the mess hall there. Graned it was one of the worse heat waves to hit hte US during that summmer but taht food sucked more then I can tell anyone. I'm betting then it had to do with the heat ruining the food as much as anything. this is excatly what DAT has described. The civiliains run alot of the mess halls now days. Hardly anyone gets KP duty because of that. If they were trying to poison they would have to do it in a way that wouldn't be caught by some one in the mess hall which is going to be hard because they go almost 24 hours a day in Basic.

"Not muslims are terrorists".
In this theater all terrorists were/are muslims.

Moles...

Good enough for me.

Bedsides, when have we seen ANY of your muslim brethren speaking out against their murdering comrades and disowning them?
Never would be the correct answer here.
Why would that be?

Yes, actually all of them I have ever talked to about it believe that they are scumbags that are disgracing the religion.

One of them was actually born outside of Baghdad. His family moved to the US in the 1970's, to get away from that kind of life. He joined the Marines in 1989, and volunteered to serve in Gulf War I.

One I serve with now tells me that she wishes that those "people" (I will not use the word she does because it will be censored out) would stop claiming they are Islamic, because it is obvious they break every tennant of the faith in their "insane hatred" (her words).

Trying to claim all Muslims are terrorist killers is no different then the radicals claim that all Christians are Crusaders that want to destroy their faith. It is racist, hatefull, and wrong. In my opinion anybody with beliefs like that should just stand in line and pick up their robes and a cross to burn.

1. Islam is not a race. Dislike of, distrust of, or even prejudice against it isn't RACISM, sir.

2. It seems to me that being a Crusader is not necessarily a bad thing, especially when the fact that the crusades were a direct response to Islamic hegemony in the first damned place is taken into the equation. Ask Charles Martel some time, how "ashamed" he might be to be a crusader, throwing muslim invaders out of his lands.
