I have a couple of posts up at Big Peace. One is a call for giving Assange his due since he is now in all essence and enemy collaborator. Assange has made himself another unlawful enemy combatant. As such he is fair game for our pipehitters or the CIA to pick up just like any of those terrorist facilitators, money movers and fixers we already have. Heck it wouldn’t break my heart if they returned him to his component molecules in a rain of Hellfire, you know “pour encourager les autres“. He claims to have more documents and that he will release them as well. I mean if you had a guy in France broadcasting the names of the Resistance on the radio during WWII, wouldn’t we have squashed him flat like a bug? Well….disagree, explain the difference then. You better watch your Ass-ange, Julian. The other looks at a NY Time article about our counterterror success in making dead tangos and warns against assuming this is unrelated to our COIN efforts. During the Great Dithering, President Obama received differing advice advocating one or the other of these methods. Noted strategerist Joe Biden was in favor of a CT focus with his Magic Ninja plan. Gen. McChrystal and Gen. Petraeus believed that COIN was the way to go. The reality is that just like in Iraq our operations consist of a mix of the two. And you know what, when you start doing COIN and building rapport with the locals they can tell you where the bad guys are thus making your CT operations more effective.
