That’s the point. I’ve never invoked ‘me’ as reference (altho’ I will be speaking at the Capitol for the first time next week … but not about radical Salafists directly). It’s the direct words and experience of The USAF officer who led the intelligence and interrogation operations that led to finding and killing al Zarqawi. GEN Colin Powell, USA (ret) Senator John McCain FBI Special Agent Jack Cloonan, who averted a real-ticking time bombing situation with a radical Islamist terrorists FBI Special Dennis Formel, who obtained the identity of Ramzi bin al Shibh (the “20th hijacker”) LTC James Corum, USA (ret), military intelligence, he also was part of the Coalition Military Assistance and Training Team in Iraq in 2003 & 2004 Bob Baer, retired CIA operative David Becker, DIA Brian Boetig, FBI Michael Kremlacek USA Intelligence Robert McFadden, former CIFA (it was a DoD field intelligence agency) C.A. Morgan III, Intelligence Technology Innovation Center (aka ITIC, part of CIA, unless they’re ‘officially’ ODNI now) Kenneth Rollins, Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (another DoD agency) Scott Shumate, former CIFA Andre Simons, FBI the Marine Corps Interrogator Translator Other than Sen John McCain (recently) & Morgan those guys are all operators and/or interrogators. Like any model, strategy needs accurate data to generate accurate results. The alternative model for developing strategy is the one Doug Feith used, which ties well with your Tom Piras reference. Since you assert authority, on what operational basis do you dispute them? /Marg You think I'm asserting authority. That is so sexy. >>>It’s not about *me*. Never has been. That’s the point. I’ve never invoked ‘me’ as reference (altho’ I will be speaking at the Capitol for the first time next week).Oh yeah, it's not about you.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
