WASHINGTON — A high-level Pentagon inquiry has concluded that private military contractors overstepped their legal authority in gathering intelligence in Afghanistan and Pakistan, information that ended up being used to kill or capture militants.
The 15-page classified report, viewed by The Associated Press, accuses defense contractor and retired U.S. Army officer Michael Furlong of running what amounted to an illegal spying ring of military contractors.
Furlong denied the accusations and said he was never interviewed by the investigators, nor given a chance to explain his side of the story.
