| National Security Watch's June 23 story, Eurolefties Fund Iraq Insurgency, generated a fair bit of controversy.

Within a week of our story's running, Italian police had raided the campaign's key sponsor, the group's Internet-hosting service had booted it off the Web, and US News was being denounced as an imperialist tool. A key backer, Campo Antiimperialista–an alliance of far-left European activists–said the story was proof of "continued control of the chauvinist pro-war and pro-occupation forces over the U.S. public opinion." |

Sattler told a meeting of defense journalists that pre-detonating roadside bombs was the key technology he believed would defeat the threat. |
