In Iraq, databases of DNA, fingerprints and iris scans have been collected from entire city populations. They brought in ballistics and other forensics experts. They train troops in staying alive and police in evidence handling. They conduct IED clearing operations. They analyze the IEDs. They analyze, profile, they catch in the act sometimes via UAV and roll up the cell.

Then they do it again when the cells evolve to foil the latest counters.

That's a pretty impressive link roundup, Sam.

It helped to know what I was looking for--a buddy just came back from Iraq so I could focus my search.

The "police in evidence handling" and "roll up the cell" links are malformed.

Fixed now, I think--thanks.

But you didn't give the links for Blackwater murders or Haliburton money scams or Bush / Cheny / their cronies getting rich on stolen Iraqi oil.

Is that fair to any anon trolls who still read but can no longer comment here?

(chuckling up my sleeve, hehehehe...)

Of course that is police work backed up by American fire power, special operations units and privacy invasions that would not be allowed in this country or anywhere in Europe.
