The Air Force has interviewed former cadet informants and other key players as part of an Inspector General investigation of the secret informant program at the Air Force Academy, but will not say when findings, initially slated to be completed in January, will be released.

A separate review of whether cadets acting as informants were improperly expelled from the academy in recent years also is ongoing with no set date for completion. Initially, academy officials said the review of the disenrollment process would be done in January.

This week, however, academy spokesman Lt. Col. Brus Vidal said the review would likely not be available for a few more weeks, adding, "These types of things take time and the emphasis is on being methodical and getting things right."

An Air Force spokeswoman at the Pentagon said the IG report, titled "USAFA OSI inquiry," is not completed. She did not provide a date when it would be available.
