“News Alert: In post-9/11 era, a U.S. secret army gains strength 
September 2, 2011 3:53:45 PM

The CIA's armed drones and paramilitary forces have killed dozens of al-Qaeda leaders and thousands of its foot soldiers. But there is another mysterious organization that has killed even more of America's enemies in the decade since the 9/11 attacks: the U.S. military's Joint Special Operations Command. From its origins as a hostage rescue team, JSOC has grown into America's secret army, the president's personal weapon against terrorists. In an article adapted from their newly released book "Top Secret America: The Rise of the New American Security State," Washington Post reporters Dana Priest and William M. Arkin chronicle JSOC's spectacular rise, much of which has not been publicly disclosed before.
