Again, our latest NRO piece is re-published at NavySEALs.com.
On another front, my sources in the Sunni Triangle are reporting that TWICE in the last few hours, civilians in Fallujah have come forward with leads about insurgent activity in the city.
In the first instance, Iraqi soldiers responded and captured four guerrillas, a bunch of hand grenades, some RPGs, and a suicide belt.
In the second instance, U.S. Marines responded and uncovered a bunch of artillery rounds and some det. cord.
I suppose it's too soon for this story to have hit the wires (or perhaps it won't)... but it's a perfect example of increasing cooperation between locals, Iraqi security, and U.S. forces in one of Iraq's most volatile Sunni areas.
