The War of the Snipers

by Patrick Cockburn

The "commander" in the video says that Islamic Army marksmen rely on a training manual written by a retired US special forces officer called Major John L. Plaister entitled "Ultimate Sniper" It is freely available from bookshops and was updated for "today's Global War on Terror."

Plaster, not Plaister. What would he say if he found out his books were being used by the enemy? Is this a good reason for restricting the press?
