This is fascinating. Anyone have a clue what it might be?

Bob Woodward says that the dramatic drop in violence in Iraq is not due to the surge but to a secret "killing program" which must remain a secret for now or it would "get [our] people killed". Quote:

Have you ever seen the movie Mystery Men?

Is it just me, or is Woodward completely contradicting himself? He says if the program were to be made public, it would get our people killed, but then he also says that the terrorists know about the program.
If that's true, I guess is it safe to assume it wouldn't be the terrorists who would kill our people, since they already know the program? So who is it that would kill our people if the program was made public? My guess about it all is that we've managed to embed Special Ops guys in the insurgency, and they're taking out the leaders. But I'm most likely way off. |
No way it has to do with human sources. We are horrible at that.
It is no doubt technology, thus the comparison to the Manhattan Project. Monitoring tech. |

My guess about Woodward's contradiction is that terrorists know we have something but don't quite know how it works. |

It's Star Wars technology. They target a house and then fry it's occupants using microwaves or something from a satellite from space. Either that, or they've tricked Al-Qaeda into developing a taste for British cuisine.

Since my mind is like a steel trap when it comes to such things:
It is technology to identify headquarters and safe-houses for Al Qaeda. Real-time imaging combined with computer algorithms identifying movements likely to be associated with terrorist activity. Suspect buildings are placed under surveillance. Attacks made. The end. I don't have any source that tells me this. It's simply what makes sense. |
