Latest Bin Landen Hunting Tactics

AN elite group of Native American trackers is joining the hunt for terrorists crossing Afghanistan’s borders.The unit, the Shadow Wolves, was recruited from several tribes, including the Navajo, Sioux, Lakota and Apache. It is being sent to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to pass on ancestral sign-reading skills to local border units.

In recent years, members of the Shadow Wolves have mainly tracked smugglers along the US border with Mexico.

But the Taliban’s resurgence in Afghanistan and the US military’s failure to hunt down Osama bin Laden - still at large on his 50th birthday on Saturday - has prompted the Pentagon to requisition them.

US Defence Secretary Robert M.Gates said last month: “If I were Osama bin Laden, I’d keep looking over my shoulder.”

Now they’ll get him! If satellites, spy drones, and whatever other tactics failed, call in some Native Americans, they’ll take care of it. Desperation?

What they need is inside intelligence, I doubt these trackers would help. I think it is more of a PR initiative rather than being effective.

loooooool I laughed so hard when I read this. Can’t you see the irony?! Natives tracking down Arab terrorists?- now that’s a first!!! hahaha Perhaps they should join forces with the A-raaabs to track down their own original terrorists LOOOOOL …

I love it. Every now and then, a government agency will think outside the box. Whatever they HAVE been doing isn’t working. I think it is very cool that they will try looking at the problem from another angle. Wasn’t it the Navahos who devised the unbreakable code in WWII?

kinano,
is he?

Don Veto,
never underestimate them

Missy-TheOriginal,
maybe they are good in finding people, but bin landen (if he’s alive that is) has been hiding for too long, which means that he “can hide”

Intlxpatr,
i dont think it was an unbreakable code, i think they just used their language, which no one else knows, clever

Swair,
i think they are accepting anyone who is willing to go.
