I happened to see that little bit of the Woodward interview on “60 Minutes”. Woodward specified several times that the US had invented a new “weapon” — a physical thing, not a process, was what I was understanding him to say. He mentioned other “things” like, for example, the steam engine or the nuclear bomb as being in the same category as this new “device” that the US had come up with.

I’ve looked in various places yesterday and today for someone to talk about whatever this “thing” is but there’s overwhelming quiet about it.

I’m a little disappointed if all he was talking about was the Surge strategy and then following it up with a really comprehensive database of bad guys.
