Kind of like the recent fiasco at Ubaydi.In a war where intelligence is as important as guns, leaks of information from Iraqi soldiers are undermining the battle against insurgents, senior U.S. and Iraqi officers say.
Officers told Reuters it was almost impossible to keep secrets among soldiers who have members of their family or tribe on the other side. The result is operations that turn up mounds of weapons and explosives but few suspects, because tipped-off rebels flee before raids even begin.
"We still don't have secure operations. When we go on a mission, this gets leaked out to the people," said Colonel Thaier Dhia Ismail Abid al-Tamimi, who heads an Iraqi battalion in Diyala province.
It's just not working, is it?
Still, Ollie North and the GOP are determined to keep the faithful ignorant: "Making Progress in Iraq"
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
