Iraq Raids: The Genius of Starting Small
MSNBC.com has a great article that sheds considerable new light on both the Special Ops Soldier's Letter From Iraq we published Monday, and our stories yesterday about the op that killed Saddam's sons (yay!!!). Both involve a recent shift in tactics by U.S. forces, and that shift made a big difference.
The MSNBC / Washington Post piece is called "Little targets led to the top", and is proof that there are still some real journalists in theater. The template it offers is worth remembering next time someone talks about combatting terrorism, organized crime with global reach, or other kinds of "4th generation warfare" threats.
UPDATE: Blaster of Overpressure.com makes a very good point about adopting the same approach in official public communications.
