Bugging Found In Pentagon Inspector General's Office

Washington, July 26. (PTI): The office of the Pentagon Inspector General was bugged using a listening device, apparently left over from the eight years of the Bill Clinton Administration, a US media report said today, quoting classified papers.

The Washington Times quoted a Pentagon "info memo" from Inspector General Joseph E. Schmitz's as saying: "On January 19, 2002, during a routine meeting with the Director of Security for the Department of Defence, it was reported to my staff and me that a potential 'listening device' was previously discovered in the infrastructure of the Department of Defence Inspector General."

"The DoD Directorate of Security conducted a routine sweep for electronic listening devices in certain areas of the ninth and tenth floors of the DoDIG on August 7, 2000. The sweep revealed that a wire had been installed inside the wall structure leading to and from the ninth and tenth floors of the DoDIG areas which comprise the Defence Criminal Investigative Service and the personnel office space of the Inspector General," the memo says.

Another touchy issue for Schmitz was that a series of internal memos from his staff showed that a Muslim who was employed as an auditor granted a "top secret" security clearance was not an American citizen. "He possesses a Social Security number tied to multiple confirmed aliases," a May 2002 memo said.
