J - Summary of New Information
Interim Report -
October 26, 2000
Following Presidential
Special Oversight Board guidance, we further investigated this incident and
rewrote and republished the narrative in October 2000 with new information
gathered since the papers original publication in August 1997. Changes
from the original version included:
- The location of the suspect bunker
appears to be in Kuwait, not in Iraq as reported in the initial investigation.
- The bunkers were built after
Iraqs August 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
- We did not interview Colonel
Dunn during the original investigation of this incident. In writing the original
narrative, we relied on Colonel Dunns written account of the events
surrounding his examination of PFC Fisher. However, we did provide him a copy
of the narrative to review before we published it, and he provided no comments
about the findings. We subsequently interviewed him by telephone after we
published the original narrative. For this narrative, we interviewed Colonel
Dunn in person. He maintained his original diagnosis was correct.
- We contacted and re-interviewed
PFC Fisher.
- This paper refutes statements
in the original narrative about a second urinalysis reportedly accomplished
in-theater. This further investigation established Colonel Dunn conducted
the only urinalysis associated with this incident.
- This narrative includes photographs
Major DeClue and Colonel Dunn took of PFC Fishers blisters.
- This narrative includes a still
photo taken from the videotape of the MM-1 screen showing a spectrum for distilled
sulfur mustard (HD) during a Fox test for chemical warfare agent of PFC Fishers
flak jacket.
- We located the MM-1 printout
for the coveralls test and transcribed it for inclusion in this narrative
in Tab F.
- We transcribed ion intensity
data from the videotape showing the spectrum for sulfur mustard (HD) during
the test of PFC Fishers flak jacket. Spectrometry experts examined this
transcribed data and commented for this narrative. The transcribed data appears
in Tab H.
