AP: Reduction in Special Operations Raids in Iraq

The AP reports on the reduction in special operations raids in Iraq.

Someday, a great book could be written about the Joint Special Operations Command's war in Iraq. My book covers these operators' hunts for Saddam Hussein and Musab al-Zarqawi, but JSOC forces captured or killed hundreds of al-Qa'ida in Iraq and Jaish al-Mahdi cell leaders in an effort to decapitate Iraq's various insurgencies. Part of the reason for the operations slowdown described above is that our SOF were so successful in targeting these terrorists.

Unfortunately (although understandably), most of that vital campaign will forever remain behind a wall of secrecy. But it would make one hell of a story if it were ever told.
