#1 Accessories? I hear Escape burqa and coordinated hijab are all the rage for insurgent leaders this year.

#2 I think so enterprising reporter like Michael Yon or Bill Roggio should look into this new MNF PA style of using the word "rogue". How can there be a rogue element to AQ or the insurgency since they themselves are "rogue". Who is the individual writing the releases and who higher up has asked for this word to be used. Are we in fact protecting something or someone or are we projecting some intelligence we have but can't reveal. As Arte Johnson would say, "dis is verrrrry interesting".

#3 Jack, the rogue tag is to identify those elements of the Mahdi army (Tater's boys) who are in clear and open league with Iran. These are the swine who are working with the Quds Force (lead bad element of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard).

The new tag came about as a result of what seems to be an effective campaign to splinter Tater's group. Identify the rogue guys and bring the less hadline folks into the political/normal life process. Note that Tater has run off to Iran again, which another sign that the campaign is working.
