"The U.S. military has long sought an agreement with Baghdad that gives American forces virtually unfettered freedom of action, casting into doubt the Bush administration [3]'s current claims that their demands are more limited," concludes the National Security Archive [4]'s analysis of recently declassified documents. In a 2003 cable, then-Coalition Provisional Authority [5] head Paul Bremer [6] wrote that any agreement with the future government of Iraq [7] must give U.S. forces authority "to detain, intern, and interrogate"; "to retain custody of current POWs / detainees / internees"; and "unlimited authority to conduct military operations." Bremer added that U.S. personnel, including military contractors [8], "must be accorded ... full criminal immunity and immunity from civil process for official acts." In related news, the Wikileaks website [9] has published what it says is "a sensitive U.S. military counterinsurgency manual." The document [10] points to U.S. involvement in El Salvador [11] and elsewhere in describing how to control foreign populations. Suggested tactics include martial law [12], censorship, psychological operations [13], supporting "civilian self-defense forces" and persuading "individuals among the general populace to become informants," by using as motives "civic-mindedness, patriotism, fear, punishment avoidance, gratitude, revenge or jealousy, financial rewards."
