I'm sure the men at JSOC enjoyed the comic relief.

Why do all the idiots pick on Special Operations??? The article would read better if the moron wrote about the Air Force 344th Special Services Squadron as a highly trained hit squad serving poisoned food to "enemies of the state".

You Guys are killing me. I am gone for a week and this is what I come back to.

Is this normal protocol for units to "check in" with the either of those entities?

If I told ya I'd have to report you to "the unit" and we all know what happens then.

And if you don't know and I told you........

Wow, do you have stones or what?

Sleep tight.

Sy Hersh went on Wolf Blitzer a few days ago and back peddled into less fantastical territory where he made sure to differentiate what he KNOWS (not much) from what his opinion on covert action is.

Crack Afghani Hit Squad

I knew this would come out sooner or later. I confess that I and a fellow team mate had the distinct honor of working with one of these hit squads back in their early years. This was in A-stan back in 2002. As you can tell just from the looks on their faces, these are all stone-cold killers, the lot of them. I'm here to tell you, I still have nightmares from witnessing the horrific abominations this lethal hodgepodge of diminutive assassins inflicted upon the enemy.
