Giving SOCOM more and more flexibility is exactly the right direction (SecDef Rumsfled has done more than any other SecDef in history at understanding this) -
We can already see that some in the Big Green are having their feathers ruffled...and are more concerned about "hold their power" than being as effective as possible at killing these SOB terrorists!
Let's continue to hope Rumsfeld pushes this through -

Good hunting and G*d speed to them.

Yes, we need to re-instate the taking out of senior bad-boys at the top levels in terrorist-supporting countries --
"Read my lips..no more shooting of top people in bad countries..." (has to be put in the trashcan where it belongs)

This is a step in the right direction. If never fails that regional commands want to micro-manage special ops operations.

Bureaucrats are always into "holding their power" and many bad things have happened as a result. I hope Rummy gets this through.

Rummi is only trying to make other units more flexible. Units have complained that SOCOM has at times got in the way of the mission.

If the dimocRATS get back in power they will draft and executive order to prevent this kind of thing and build a fire wall to prevent information sharing.
To: Joe 6-pack
And with .50 cal scalpels... LOL - Love the mental picture. Plastic surgeons use before/after photos and the shooters could do the same.
Rag head before - after no head or rag.

Sounds to me that another liberal has leaked another military plan to the media.
Why don't the MSM investigate who it is leaking these plans to everyone before they are even excuted?
Biased? Of course they are not. Bwaaa ha ha ha!

I remember hearing about the Phoenix Program from Nam. We had guys reportedly tracking down the VC infrastructure and taking them out with "extreme prejudice". Fell apart after the Spec Ops offed a double agent. A lot of people in and out of the government don't have the guts to fight a war the way this one needs to be fought.
