Hemliga operationer i dussintals länder

Ja, det här är vad jag har väntat i alla dessa år. Äntligen har detta nått medierna. Tidigare var det svårt att bevisa för folk att Bushadministrationen låtit ge order om att angripa en hel del länder man inte är i krig med.

"These military raids, typically carried out by Special Operations forces, were authorized by a classified order that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld signed in the spring of 2004 with the approval of President Bush, the officials said.

The secret order gave the military new authority to “attack the al-Qaeda terrorist network” anywhere in the world, and a more sweeping mandate to conduct operations in countries not at war with the United States.

The 2004 order identifies 15 to 20 countries, including Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and several other Persian Gulf states, a senior administration official told the paper.
