    carl, no I don't think the Strategic Hamlet Program was voluntary. My version would be what LawVol calls Bare Base, except I would do Bare City and put the word out that it was safe,clean, good food,warm beer, no head chopping or car bombing. If you wanted stay there you would have to cooperate.


    Scratch all that think Salvation Army, I am serious go to one if you ever get the chance and see how it is run. It is a very underestimated organization.

    Default Transcript of Kilcullen Charlie Rose Interview

    The IHT published the a transcript today. Not sure how long the link will work but here it is (and i hope I managed to make it an active link )
    The link is only to page 1 of 15 pages, but the Print variation pops the entire thing up.

    In February 2020 this link no longer works and goes to the NYT? So replaced, note it is behind a paywall, but YouTube has other versions: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/08/w...n.7807571.html
