New Counterinsurgency Manual Hits Net
Why is the DoD Making it Available to "Insurgents,Terrorists"?
By EASON JORDAN Posted 12 hr. 1 min. ago
Your IraqSlogger editors are stunned that the Pentagon has released to the entire world and posted on the Web the U.S. military’s new 282-page counterinsurgency war-fighting manual.
This is the first post-9/11 “war on terror”-era U.S. military counterinsurgency manual – the long-awaited doctrine meant in part to help turn the tide for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The counterinsurgency field manual's cover reads in part, "Distribution Restriction: Approved for Public Release; Distribution is unlimited."
Why?
Now you and everyone, including Al Qaeda terrorists and insurgents, can read the entire 282-page manual.
It's posted on multiple military Web sites.
While the manual doesn’t contain classified secrets, it contains an astounding amount of USELESS military doctrine, with subject headings including:
-- INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE OPERATIONS
-- HUMAN INTELLIGENCE AND OPERATIONAL REPORTING
-- COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AND COUNTERRECONNAISSANCE
-- INTELLIGENCE COLLABORATION
-- INTELLIGENCE CELLS AND WORKING GROUPS
-- PROTECTING SOURCES
-- EXECUTING COUNTERINSURGENCY OPERATIONS
-- TARGETING
Should such sensitive and detailed information be dished up to the U.S.’s enemies, especially via Pentagon Web sites?
