After an extensive military career, Kellogg has been working in the private sector.

Kellogg had a "decorated 32-year career" in the Army, according to a press release announcing his joining a consulting company, and was the chief operating officer of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad, Iraq, for five months from the end of 2003 into the spring of 2004.</div><div></div></div><div>http://www.kolotv.com/content/news/EXCLUSIVE-Trump-Foreign-Policy-Advisor-Speaks-With-KOLO8-398265011.html</div><div>

<div>A U.S. appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit by four former Iraqi prisoners who say they were tortured with sexual violence, electrical shocks and beatings at Abu Ghraib prison. The lawsuit accuses employees of the private military contractor CACI International of ordering military staff to torture prisoners in order to weaken them for questioning. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit last year, saying he did not have jurisdiction, but Monday’s decision reinstates the lawsuit and sends it back to that judge.</div><div>

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."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CACI#cite_note-caci-irfaq-25" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[25]</a>CACI Chairman of the Board Dr. Jack London<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CACI#cite_note-26" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[26]</a> defended the company with a book: CACI: Our Good Name.<h4 style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; line-height: 22.4px; background: none rgb(255, 255, 255);">Radio show comments result in a lawsuit<span class="mw-editsection" style="user-select: none; font-weight: normal; margin-left: 1em; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1em; display: inline-block; white-space: nowrap; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;">[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CACI&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Radio show comments result in a lawsuit" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">edit</a>]</h4>On August 26, 2005, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randi_Rhodes" title="Randi Rhodes" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Randi Rhodes</a>, a host for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_America_Radio" title="Air America Radio" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Air America</a> talk radio program, claimed that employees of CACI International had raped and murdered Iraqi civilians at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_prison" title="Abu Ghraib prison" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Abu Ghraib prison</a>.
