psychological warfare against taliban

[Thunder]

from cnn:

• As part of its psychological warfare against the Taliban, the U.S. military is dropping leaflets over Afghanistan showing a picture of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar in a set of crosshairs. The leaflet also shows a close-up photograph of the license tag from Omar's personal vehicle, also set against crosshairs. An unmanned drone has been tracking Omar and took the photographs, Pentagon sources said.

An unmanned drone? Like a robot? Maybe we have robots that look like camels. That would be too cool.

Afghanis wouldn't know who the hell that is. Heck, we can't even know for sure. Mullah Omar is extraordinarily secretive and never allows his photo to be taken . . . therefore, about 99.9% of Afghanis don't even know what he looks like . . . and I don't see any names on that leaflet.

That's kinda cool, I guess? :hmm:

its cool that we're the most advanced nation for "technological" espionage, but when it comes to like personal intelligence obtained by individuals, we aren't even close to being number 1. we can see the license plate on a car from thousands of miles above the earth, but we have no idea what the person in the car is thinking, or planning to do.

"{snip} but when it comes to like personal intelligence obtained by individuals, we aren't even close to being number 1." That is correct. Years ago, the CIA had restrictions put upon it.
