#4 I wonder why they are talking about these guys at all? Ever since the start of the WoT, there has been a SOCOM "shadow war" going on all over the planet, vigorously whacking bad boys in ops like this, but with almost no publicity.

The last press release, perhaps a year ago, was that over 200 of these black ops Rambos had been killed so far in the WoT--not individuals who go into that night easily. Tens of thousands of villains have most likely met their end due to the direct and intel-gathering operations of these SOCOM types.

#6 That, and a key fact: The op is LONG over. Well, this particular one, and from what I can see there's NO actionable intel that could be used AGAINST Task Force Black or against whoever MI6 recruited (amongst the indigs? WOW!) to be eyes and ears for TF Black, if only because the article only identifies units. Good show of journalistic prudence by the Telegraph.

Anonymoose, no calling them Rambo. Outsmarting the enemy preempts that. ;)
