CACI senior officials took no action in response to Arant's resignation letter, according to CACI's lawyers.

CACI's lawyers have acknowledged that Arant's resignation did not prompt any type of follow-up. But they have said his email doesn't actually detail any abuses by CACI interrogators, only the misconduct of Army soldiers over which the company had no control.
