[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] Clearly I don't have a military mind, as, to me, all of that sounds like common sense, not "extreme" measures. [/QUOTE]Depends on the military culture and type of deployment. In this type of deployment those things are basically common sense; in WW2 they did not. the Iraq occupation is essentially an old style ColPol (Colonial Policing) deployment, although more akin to the various emergancy situations which accompanied the end of empire. The US Army has rarely had to fight this kind of war; it's interesting that old British Army training manuals were circulated to some US commanders prior to the war. As for Pinter, yes it's quite a good polemic piece. But that's pretty much all it is. [/QB][/QUOTE]
