ABSTRACT
Mao Tse Tung wrote that “the guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.” Today’s insurgents, terrorists, and criminals seek to blend in with the people and become indistinguishable from them. Just as the local Viet Cong guerillas were often farmers by day and fighters by night, so have many of our enemies’ leaders and fighters in recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan hidden behind a mask of anonymity while staging attacks on the personnel and facilities of the United States and our allies. It is obviously critical that any force fighting an insurgency, battling terrorists, or facing an organized criminal threat will need a way to cull these bad actors from the general populace; but how?
