Little-known pilot shaped U.S. strategy in Iraq Thanks for finding this, B89. Yes, Boyd is a real Hero to me. A "Prophet without Honor" , as the saying goes. If we were fighting this war the way he wanted, it would already be over.

The CIA planted a false rumor with a British television network that Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tarik Aziz had defected, hoping Aziz would go on Iraqi television to deny it. He did. The CIA tracked him back to a bunker, and the Navy and the Air Force destroyed it with cruise missiles and bombs If that's really how it went down, then it was wonderfully clever, and deserves to be remembered along with the code breakers who figured out the Japanese codes for Midway by planting false messages in 1942.
