How to neutralize EFPs: A case study

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — An Iranian-trained leader of an “explosives cell” in Baghdad was seized on Tuesday, the U.S. military said.

Yeah, the case study is pretty brief.

This sort of news does reflect the vulnerability of insurgent technologies, however. David DeCamp's story for The St. Petersburg Times last year emphasized the ease with which insurgents would adapt and neutralize MRAPs ("A tool of war trumped"). It should be obvious to everyone at this point that while MRAPs remain somewhat vulnerable to EFPs and sufficiently large IEDs, they have proved a valuable asset to coalition forces (including the Iraqis, who use the "Badger" version of Force Protection's Cougar MRAP) in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And speaking of the Times' war coverage, Mike Maharrey at The Guardian Angel Post voices an opinion worth noting:

I'm not calling for the media to downplay or ignore the bad news. I'm not criticizing the Times for highlighting this story. I'm criticizing the Times for ignoring the hundreds of other stories that hold equal importance.

I am calling for the press to do its job - Its whole job of informing the American people. Not simply bolstering their political agenda.
