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?

I downloaded it. (I am running Anti-Spyware software now). Seems very peculiar thing to do - what is Peter Schoomaker (head of US army) thinking ?

As was with the cold war era, the need to create a bad guy has just moved along from the time we shared the information on how to build an atomic weapon with the Soviet Union. We have to maintain a justifiable reason to continue arms production, and we have to keep the so called enemy abreast to the next move. Any victory would ruin the whole scenario.

Possibly its a distraction ..... get the "enemies" to think you will act one way ..... when in reality you will act a completely different way and so catch them off guard etc .... ??

They think you will go Left ..... when you are about to go Right !!
