Probes nearly complete for (AF) informant program

Two Air Force inquiries into the secret confidential informant program at the Air Force Academy have been completed and will likely be released in the next two weeks, said Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson, superintendent of the academy.
Johnson made the statement Thursday to the academy Board of Visitors, a civilian oversight group.
The two inquiries - one by the superintendent's staff and one by the Air Force inspector general - were prompted by a Gazette investigation in December that showed that for years the Air Force has employed a system of secret cadet informants at the academy to search out misconduct. The program encouraged informants to deceive commanders, teachers and their peers in violation of the academy's honor code. Some wore wires and used hidden cameras.
The Gazette showed that some informants were later disavowed by the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations, which ran the program, and expelled by the academy.
