SUBJECT:
Iraq Issue Manager
Scenesetter for Deputies
Committee Meeting on Black/White/Gray
Lists, 11 March 2003
1. Background The Deputies are scheduled� to
receive a five-minute update on the status of the
interagency effort to establish black/white/gray lists of
Iraqis for use in the run-up to and in the immediate
aftermath of hostilities. The lists comprise individuals
whom the USG would seek to apprehend, detain for
questioning, or release/integrate into a reformed Iraqi
bureaucracy. There are numerous subsets and uses for these
lists. CIA has been working this igRue with State and lITA
nar-$-nf An ird7gency process.
AQ
2. Talking Points. Let me address the issue
of lists at two different levels.
3.
4. Second, the interagency has agreed on
definitions tor the black/apprehend, gray/detain, and
white/release lists. We have made the most progress on the
black list.
� The black list includes the pillars of the regime,
those with the greatest responsibility for serious
human rights abuses, those of greatest interest for
WMD, and those with the greatest potential to
obstruct a US military campaign. There are currently
SECRET)
Approved for Release: 2020/02/03 C06114361
� Approved for Release: 2020/02/03 C06114361
SECRET)
about 100 names on this list. The top 52 are
prioritized; this list incorporates the names from
earlier smaller, black lists that were produced in
response to ad hoc requests. Once the NSC approves
this list, an unclassified version of it can be made
available to CENTCOM to aid in the apprehension of
those guilty of war crimes or senior members of the
regime who need to be off the streets.
� The gray list, which comprises some 300 names,
consists primarily of officials whose regime loyalty
and potential willingness to support the coalition's
aims are unclear. As we receive more information, we
anticipate that many of these officials will move to
the black or white lists.
� The white list is the least developed
It consists
of prominent Iraqis opposed to the regime who support
US objectives as well as technocrats whose expertise
would be crucial to running a post-Saddam Iraq.
4. A key question for the Principals is how
to operationalize these lists. If the Principals were to
opt to use the black and gray lists as the basis for a
program to aggressively apprehend or detain selected
officials, they would need to determine how deep into the
lists to go, how to prioritize these apprehensions, and what
resources should be made available to carry them out.
� Working level Pentagon representatives have stressed
that they would like to keep an apprehension list as
small as. possible and that the priorities should be:
force protection, WMD, terrorism, and then war
crimes.
� State wants to ensure that key war crimes suspects
receive.adequate attention and can be expected to
press for reaching deeper down in the lists.
� The fact that the many of the figures on the black
list, particularly the list of 52, are there for
multiple reasons could make it easier for principals
to resolve this issue.
5. Attached are copies of the agreed-upon
definitions, the list of 52, and a more detailed
backgrounder on the lists.

Background on Black, Gray, and White Lists
The Intelligence Community has been asked to prepare a variety of
lists since last September focusing on key Iraqi regime "movers and shakers." The
Black, Gray, and White lists represent the largest and most comprehensive of
these undertakings.
� The Black List has variously been described as a list of top regime
players, those that Washington would never again want to see
participate in government, and � pending decisions by principals � a
potential list of personnel that Washington might want to take steps to
aggressively apprehend.
The Black List currently contains some 100 interagency
coordinated names divided into two tiers. The top tier contains a prioritized list of
the regime's 52 most important players.
� Most of the previous regime lists the Community has beeri asked to
oreoare have been incorporated into the ton tier
The second tier Black List names are listed alphabetically. The
listees are also considered important movers and shakers, but analysts found it
virtually impossible to assign rankings to the list after reaching number 52.
The Gray List contains some 300 nominees presented
alphabetically. The List consists of officials and other persons, that either by
nature of their position, or because of fragmentary information, the Community
suspects have played key roles within the regime and/or have important
information inks to, war crimes and WMD. Their loyalty to the regime
and potenti ss to support coalition aims are unclear.
� Although the building and maintenance of the Lists will be a dynamic
process, and we anticipate movement of some people between all
three categories as our information expands, we expect the largest
movement to take place to and from the Gray List. The Intelligence
Community is scheduled to hold a day-long coordination meeting to
finalize both the Gray and White Lists tomorrow (Tuesday).

SECRE1
The White List, consisting of prominent Iraqis who are known to
oppose the regime, are not known to have committed human rights abuses, and
support US plans for reform; expatriates; and capable, resident technocrats whose
expertise might be crucial to running a post-Saddam government; is the least
developed (65 nominees) and in some ways the most politically sensitive of the
lists.
� The Department of State plans to put forward a significant number of
expatriates that have been affiliated with the Future of Iraq project, but
working level officers at State are worried that the Pentagon will find
many unacceptable.

The INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY'S BLACK, GRAY,
AND WHITE LISTS
Black List (Apprehend)
� Top military, security, intelligence, WMD, political, militia leaders, or Saddam
family members inextricably linked to the Iraqi leader, particularly those who
ordered and/or implemented the regime's brutal policies. These individuals
would pose obstacles to any acceptable successor regime.
� Officials and other individuals known to have been involved in human rights
abuses and/or war crimes or who have links to terrorist acts or groups.
� Officials and other individuals positioned to operationally threaten or obstruct a
Coalition military campaign.
Gray List (Detain if Encountered)
� Top officials in, or associates of, the military, security, intelligence, WMD,
government, militia, Saddam family members, or other individuals who may have
had ties to the Iraqi leader or sensitive programs, but whose intentions toward a
successor regime and willingness to work with the Coalition are unknown.
� Individuals who oppose the regime, but whose intentions and willingness to work
with the Coalition are unknown.
White List (Work With)
� Individuals who oppose the Saddam regime, are not known to have committed
human rights abuses, and are believed to support Coalition plans for reforming
Iraq, based on their track record of previous dealings with US officials and/or
their anticipated ability to positively influence events.
� Capable technocrats who may never have opposed Saddam's regime, but whose
expertise would be crucial to running a post-Saddam government.
