Some Just Won't Surrender

I wrote about our fight against jihadis within the prison system in Iraq.

I always like it when Strategypage addresses something I blog on:

This is not a new problem. American military police first encountered it during World War II, when hard core Nazis, among German prisoners of war, got organized and terrorized the other prisoners, including "executions" of those who put up the most resistance. Their goals were the same as the Islamic terrorists. During the Korean War (1950-53), Chinese and North Korean prisoners did the same thing, with the communist true believers terrorizing everyone in the name of "party discipline." Same deal during the Vietnam war.


You have to sift the inmates for the hard core elements to wage war on the jihadis inside the wire, in what is just another battlefield. Remember, our most fanatical enemies don't stop fighting until we kill them.
