A field experiment in political violence theory

Or at least that is how it strikes me, even thought the article says the tactics aren't really new. The NYT has an interesting article on Dutch tactics for dealing with the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan (Dutch Soldiers Stress Restraint in Afghanistan). It is a very interesting article and I wish I had time to comment on it this morning, but unfortunately I don't. Hopefully I can get around to it later, but for now, just go read the article.
