well, the military can't really advertise it has put sunni bad guys on the payroll.
also, not a lot about successful military strategies is revealed anywhere close to real-time,
plus, i believe, if the true nature of the *secret* tactic used during the surge was officially revealed, it would become a distraction to the withdrawal. which is moving forward and entering into an accelerated phase, as planned.
so, in a round-a-bout way, i kind of advocate the official story. while i disagree with the lack of transparency the government operates under, i can see how the military needs it.
