Description
THE COLONEL didn't have a clue how much the mission cost--six Blackhawks, two Apaches, all those Humvees. He didn't even understand the relevance of my question. "No idea. I just ask for the assets I need, and they give them to me." I stared at the small pile of captured weaponry and wondered whether the raid had been worth the expense. The night before, the colonel had invited me to film an assault on suspected al-Qaeda safe houses in Diyala Province. So that morning before sunrise, along with 80 American and Iraqi soldiers, I lined up on an airstrip to board the choppers. Going by air would give us the element of surprise. Once we hit the targets, 200 more soldiers rolling up in Humvees would meet us.
