Woodward: Secret Ops Cut Iraq Violence
September 10, 2008
United Press International

WASHINGTON -- The drop in violence in Iraq was due in large part to a special program the U.S. military used to kill terrorists, and not merely the troop surge, says Washington Post journalist and author Bob Woodward.

But the program has to remain secret or it would "get people killed," Woodward said on CNN's "Larry King Live."

"It is a wonderful example of American ingenuity solving a problem in war, as we often have," Woodward said.

In "The War Within: Secret White House History 2006-2008," Woodward revealed the military-developed capabilities to locate, target and kill leaders of al-Qaida in Iraq and other insurgents, CNN said.

Woodward would offer no specifics on the program, however, pointing out that he was told outright by the senior military leaders he could not report it.
