U.S. Needs Hit Squads, ‘Manhunting Agency’: Spec Ops Report

CIA director Leon Panetta got into hot water with Congress, after he revealed an agency program to hunt down and kill terrorists. A recent report from the U.S. military’s Joint Special Operations University argues that the CIA didn’t go far enough (.pdf). Instead, it suggests the American government should set up something like a “National Manhunting Agency” to go after jihadists, drug dealers, pirates and other enemies of the state.

America’s military, intelligence and law-enforcement agencies already devote thousands of people and billions of dollars to tracking down top terrorists and insurgents. But even the most successful of these efforts — like going after Iraqi militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi — have been “ad hoc” efforts, with units cobbled together from different corners of the government. Report author and retired Lt. Col. George Crawford instead would like to see a permanent group with clear authority, training, doctrine and technology to go after these dangerous individuals. These “manhunting teams would be standing formations, trained to pursue their designated quarry relentlessly for as long as required to accomplish the mission,” he writes.

The potential for abuse is simply too great to allow this group to be formed. The pix are a scream though, espicially "The A Team." :mrgreen:

Just wanted to say that I do not see any need for yet another Security agency.

We have the FBI for that. If the FBI can't do the job then we need to find out why. If they need support, we give it to them. If they need to develop a special task force, we fund it. If they need special training, we give it to them.

We have the FBI, US Marshall's service, Secret Service (If there's a buck involved, they'll come a'runnin', Homeland Security to coordinate things.. (Riiiiiight), the CIA (Who aren't supposed to do that kind of thing directly but, they can come along for the ride too), the NSA (who can watch... they like to watch...) and who all knows what else we can throw at the problem.

They want Spec Ops? We have spec ops coming out the ass from these agencies. We DO NOT need some Special Secret Police to protect against "Enemies of the State."

They start up that crap and I'm moving to Canada... probably.

PS - They have girls in Canada, right?
