    Viral Targeting of the Social IED Network

    From the latest (May, 2007) issue of Small Wars Journal- Scott Swanson provides an absolutely fascinating analysis of the social network facilitating IED attacks and discusses the implications of "viral targeting" as a prescription...

    But it's not that simple. Instead, his analysis and prescriptions highlight the shifting and nebulous affiliations/relationships, objectives, and economic/criminal motivations inside the insurgency. Further, while advocating "viral targeting", Swanson's keen network analysis illuminates it's abilities to resist penetration.

    Those with an interest in these networks HAVE to read this article.

    I'm four months late seeing it and if posted elsewhere (which I didn't see), my apologies.
