#1 Oh baby, a real Top Cop challenged by the nastiest jihadi around. Perfect. Give this guy serious support and advisers. Give him instantaneous access to air assets through his advisers. Set up traps. Initiate a snitch program with serious money for tips that prove valid. This could be a golden opportunity to nab Zarqi. Especially if a couple of attempts run by underlings fail. Opportunity knocks here, make the most of it and protect this guy with the best.

#2 Ditto to all that, .com. Traps, real informant programs, and more. When a snitch tips you to a major ordnance cache, don't go take it and issue a press release (as done not long ago by US forces in the Mosul area). If circumstances permit, stake the place out with Iraqi agents, discreetly tag/contaminate some of the stuff for later screening of suspects, de-mil the worst stuff, booby-trap other stuff, track people coming/going, pick the best candidates of those and turn them to finger the folks up the chain. Doing things right the first time means lives saved, even if it takes more effort.
