Is a book & movie contract a standard part of SAS post-mission
debriefings
these days? It seems that way sometimes... :>

Canada's SpecOps guys - JTF2 - are also on the ground in Afganistan. Did
anyone see a picture a week or three ago, of two or three white-clad
Afgans being led out of a big transport helo by two or three soldiers in
odd uniforms? They were initially ID'd as US SpecOps by the media here;
it
turns out they're JTF2...

There's also some domestic political controversy about 'unlawful
combatants' and the Geneva Conventions, but that's another matter
entirely.

It seems Canada & Australia have SpecOps with rare abilities - they can
do
their job without a blaze of publicity...
