Special ops touted to woo war skeptics
Gen David Petraeus promotes secrecy busting special operations missions in Afghanistan to show progress against the Taliban. In the last 90 days 235 militant leaders were killed or captured and 1,066 rank and file insurgents killed with 1,673 detained. Missions run at high tempo from May to August total nearly 4,000. The public posture aims to build political support for a potential slower troop drawdown.
