News Headline: Special Forces Assassins Infiltrate Taliban Stronghold in Afghanistan

Now I'm no military genius, but I have learned a thing or two from reading lots of assassin novels. Usually the assassin is pretty interested in keeping his plan to infiltrate the enemy camp a secret.

Actually, I thought that was why special forces go through all that training. And why we spend so much money on stealth weapons. You know, so we can take the enemy by surprise. Maybe the Taliban are different. Maybe just knowing we're infiltrating their camps is enough to get them to give up.

Or maybe it's because our assassins come with pockets full of money.
