What's your opinion about this organization? I've spoken with a few of them over the years. In order to not be raked over the coals here, I'll keep my opinions to a minimum for now.

They have and are harming our Information Operation campaign over there, and IMO a lot. They call American Soldiers killers very often and accuse the US of being terrorists in many of their writings and "diaries".
I can see where they can be of some use, but most of their members want nothing to do with the military. I just wonder what would happen and what their attitude would be if someone educated them about COIN.
