We're the Only Ones Counter-Insurgent Enough

In an article published in the February, 2010, issue of Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement (a print magazine not available online), Donald J. Mihalek argues that suspected criminals in the United States should be treated the same way “insurgents” are in Iraq. [More]
Man, what is it with the tips today?

Anyway, if I were an "Only One" interested in keeping the ride smooth, I wouldn't be egging authority worshipers like Mr. Mihalek on.

Of course, if I was smart enough to understand the likely unintended consequences, I'd be one of these guys instead.

UPDATE: I'm not finding much on Internet searches for Mihalek. Anybody know anything about this guy? I'm typically leery of this source site, but in this case, the existence of the pdf looked compelling--plus I verified on Amazon that there is a magazine by that title.

"Donald J. Mihalek argues that suspected criminals in the United States should be treated the same way “insurgents” are in Iraq."

Does that include cops suspected of being criminal? Should we form a citizens committee to mete out that treatment?

Don't know that name, but the magazine has been in circulation for a good while now, at least throughout the West.

And, not to be impertinent or denigrating or any of that, but don't we already see plenty of evidence that people over here are already being treated the same way that "insurgents" are in Iraq?

This guy's another idiotic tool. And a 'useful' one at that.
