-CACI was founded by businessman Herb Karr and future [[Nobel laureate]] [[Harry Markowitz]] who left [[RAND Corporation]] in 1962 to commercialize the [[SIMSCRIPT]] simulation programming language. The company went public in 1968.  "CACI", which was originally an acronym for "California Analysis Center, Incorporated", was changed to stand for "Consolidated Analysis Center, Incorporated" in 1967. In 1973, the acronym alone was adopted as the firm's official name; it no longer stands for anything. Some persons pronounce the acronym "CACI" like the word "[[wiktionary:khaki|khaki]]"  (See [[wiktionary:khaki#Pronunciation|Pronunciation]]).  CACI's corporate motto is "Ever Vigilant."

-==Abu Ghraib Controversy==
-In 2004, the company was linked to the [[Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse]] along with another US Government contractor, [[Titan Corp.]] (now owned by [[L-3 Communications]]).  CACI employees [[Joe Ryan]] and [[Steven Stephanowicz]] were investigated in the [[Taguba inquiry]].  The Department of the Army found that "contractors were involved in 36 percent of the [Abu Ghraib] proven incidents" and identified 6 employees as "individually culpable" <ref name=PWS> [[Peter W. Singer|P. W. Singer]] (March/April 2005) ''Outsourcing War''. [[Foreign Affairs]]. [[Council on Foreign Relations]]. New York City, NY</ref>, although none have faced prosecution, unlike DoD servicemen.  <ref name=PWS/>
-According to an early Army report, a CACI interrogator, "[m]ade a false statement to the investigation team regarding the locations of his interrogations, the activities during his interrogations, and his knowledge of abuses".  Further, investigators found the CACI interrogator encouraged Military Policemen to terrorize inmates, and "clearly knew his instructions equated to physical abuse".  <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=10828|title=Private Contractors and Torture at Abu Ghraib, Iraq|author=Chatterjee, Pratap|coauthors=A.C. Thompson|date=2004-05-07}}</ref>
-===CACI Response===
-According to CACI’s website, "the company provided a range of Information Technology (IT) and intelligence services in Iraq. These services included intelligence analysis, background investigations, screenings, interrogation, property management and recordkeeping, and installation of computer systems, software and hardware.  Only a small portion of these employees worked as interrogators.  The company states that "no CACI employee or former employee has been indicted for any misconduct in connection with this work, and no CACI employee or former employee appears in any of the photos released from Abu Ghraib".  CACI also adds that they "are no longer providing interrogation services in Iraq," which concluded in the early fall of 2005 upon the conclusion of a contract with the Department of the Army.
-CACI also adds "nonetheless, we do not condone, tolerate or endorse any illegal behavior by our employees in any circumstance or at any time.  We will act forcefully if the evidence shows that any of our employees acted improperly, but we will not rush to judgment on the basis of speculation, innuendo, partial reports or incomplete investigations."
-CACI also claims on their website that US Government reports generally "concluded that civilian interrogators performed their duties in an appropriate fashion and made a major contribution to the US mission in Iraq."  CACI further claims a March 2005 report by US Navy Inspector General and Vice Admiral Albert T. Church shows that despite the publicity surrounding Abu Ghraib, "we found very few instances of abuse involving contractors." <ref name="caci-irfaq">{{cite web|url=http://www.caci.com/iraq_faqs.shtml|title=CACI in Iraq - Frequently Asked Questions}}</ref>
-===Radio show comments result in a lawsuit===
-On August 26, 2005, [[Randi Rhodes]], a host for the [[Air America Radio|Air America]] talk radio program, claimed that employees of CACI International had raped and murdered Iraqi civilians at the [[Abu Ghraib prison]].  CACI sued Air America and its parent company,  [[Piquant LLC]], for allegedly making "false and defamatory" charges.  CACI sought $1M in compensatory damages and $10M in punitive damages.  The claim was dismissed by a US District Court judge on [[September 21]], [[2006]].  <ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.therandirhodesshow.com/caci_opinion.pdf|title=Court papers: The USA District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia Alexandria division|format=pdf}}</ref> CACI is pursuing an appeal, having received permission to do so from a bankruptcy court (which lifted the automatic stay that resulted when Air America filed for bankruptcy protection). <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2007/1/4/163056.shtml?s=us|title=Court Allows Lawsuit Against Air America|date=2007-01-05}}</ref>
-===May 2008 abuse lawsuit===
-In [[May 2008]], four former [[Abu Ghraib prison]] inmates, who were all released without charge, brought separate lawsuits in four US courts against CACI and [[L-3 Communications]] as well as against three civilians.  One of these former inmates, [[Emad al-Janabi]], sued  and CACI for allowing their employees to abuse him physically and mentally at the prison.  <ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7482617.stm BBC: Abu Ghraib inmates sue US firms]</ref> In a statement released on their website<ref>[http://www.caci.com/iraq/ccr_state_5-7-08.shtml CACI Web site: Statement Regarding Baseless CCR Lawsuit 5/7/08]</ref> CACI has stated that these lawsuits are ''baseless'' and they ''reject emphatically this latest plaintiff's allegations and claims'' calling on ''numerous and thorough government investigations'' in these allegations.
-On March 19, 2009 US District Judge Gerald Bruce rejected claims by CACI that it could not be sued because its interogators were performing duties proscribed by the contract with the US government.  CACI responded that it vowed to "pursue all of its legal alternatives to defend itself and vindicate the company's good name" and that "From day one, CACI has rejected the outrageous allegations against the company in this lawsuit and continues to do so."<ref>''[[Washington Post]]'', "CACI Criticizes Judge's Decision", March 24, 2009, p. D3.</ref>
