US AMERICA'S SECRET KILLERS ( DOCUMENTARY )

The strike that killed Osama bin Laden provided a glimpse of the vast and often secret campaign by US special forces and troops to kill thousands of Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters. They call it 'precision targeting'; their critics say it's assassination.

A six-month investigation by Dispatches has gone inside the US 'kill/capture' programme to discover new evidence of the strategy's impact, and its costs. The team have talked to key figures in the US military, to US spies and to Taliban commanders and fighters.

General David Petraeus, since he took command of troops in 2010, has ordered a major expansion of these 'manhunt' missions that rely on highly classified intelligence, cutting-edge technology and Special Operations forces.

Correspondent Stephen Grey and producer Dan Edge explore the logic behind the kill/capture policy, and ask if this unremitting pursuit of the enemy will help end the war in Afghanistan.

The military say these operations have led to the death or detention of more than 12,000 Taliban insurgents in 12 months. Petraeus and his advisers argue that a ruthless, accurate and relentless campaign against enemy leaders will paralyse the insurgency and force them to the negotiating table.

On the ground in Baghlan Province in Afghanistan, US raids have put the Taliban on the run. But Dispatches makes contact with a young - and important - Taliban commander who says that, after the targeted killings of two of his seniors, he was simply promoted up the ranks to take their place: 'This war has become like delicious food for us. When a day passes without fighting we get restless.'

and im not saying they are all innocent

[ThleTruth]

IF you heard facts that another country is about to invade, and are sweeping YOUR country searching homes...what would you do to prepare...think of all the innocent prisnors we hold that had guns merely to protect themelves from an unknown powerfull threat. then they are interviewed, and give no information, because they have no info,because they are normail people, and we think they are lieing and then send them to prison indefinitly..does this make sense?

[ThleTruth]

i say kill them with the best weapon against TRUE evil, Kindness. they cant stand it. but u have to be very nice, and smart, not greedy to use that weapon

[mynameisjohn87]

the taliban are some bad mf's, but along with them being slick, they are also easily manipulated...therefore with the proper intel, shoot first and ask questions later

[wfcxtoxic]

were not going to win this war. the populace is on the insurgents side. There happier with the Taliban then with us. The key is to win hearts and minds and we have lost both.
