7 tactics ordered in increasing departure from traditional conceptions of scholarly enterprise:

  • (1) promotion of more rigorous rules and compliance standards for Western militaries

  • (2) distortion of LOAC principles to immunize Islamist combatants and render counterforce more complex and legally risky

  • (3) misrepresentation of aspirations for what LOAC should be as statements of fact as to what LOAC already is

  • 4) degradation of U.S. intelligence collection and exploitation

  • (5) restoration of Islamist detainees to the battle

  • (6) prosecution of U.S. troops for alleged LOAC violations: cause hesitancy, indecision, and reduction in military vigor

  • (7) execution of direct action missions: material support of Islamists and treasonous conduct.



  • attacks on U.S. legitimacy undermine willingness of Americans to continue to support what they are told is an unlawful and unwinnable war

    • attacks on U.S. legitimacy undermine willingness of Americans to continue to support what they are told is an unlawful and unwinnable war

    • Rather than make good-faith legal arguments as to what LOAC does, does not, should, and should not require, CLOACA offers up politicized arguments that…

    • (1) Islamist jihad is reaction to legitimate grievances against Judaeophilic foreign policy

    • (2) U.S.-led interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan are aggressive and unnecessary wars

    • (3) “torture” and military commissions prove Western injustice

    • (4) U.S. is engaged in a government-sanctioned pattern of war crimes ala Nazi Germany

    • (5) U.S. civilian leaders must be prosecuted for these crimes

    • (6) U.S. criminality breeds more terrorists while threatening our values

    • (7) intrepid dissidents who dare challenge their enterprise are jurispaths who should be drummed out of LOACA into prison



    CLOACA undermining American political will by commending its knowledge of LOAC into the service of Islamists seeking to destroy Western civilization and re-create the Caliphate

    • CLOACA undermining American political will by commending its knowledge of LOAC into the service of Islamists seeking to destroy Western civilization and re-create the Caliphate

    • CLOACA potentiates Islamist military operations against U.S. targets—the combat support element of 4GW—by promoting differentially onerous rules for the U.S. military, misapplying and distorting customary principles of LOAC to U.S. disadvantage, propounding claims as to the law governing detention and interrogation that degrade U.S. intelligence collection and return Islamists to the battlefield, threatening U.S. troops with groundless prosecutions, and otherwise abusing their status and knowledge to support materially the Islamist foe

    • CLOACA is engaged in direct PSYOPs against American political will—the direct application of combat power in 4GW—to convince Americans that the attacks of 9/11 are their just deserts for a foreign policy that privileges Israel and subordinates Muslims, that in the course of an illegal war their country commits torture and war crimes on the order of Nazi Germany, that this illegal war is undermining national security and destroying the rule-of-law, and that the only way to rebuild American virtue is to end the war without victory, cede the field to Islamists, and extradite for prosecution those responsible for war policies—including their own intellectual apostates

    • Contrary to their claims of fidelity to law and the American people, this Fifth Column rewards Islamists for their unlawful combatancy, immunizes them against interrogation and killing, increases the physical and legal risks faced by U.S. personnel, tilts the balance of military power toward Islamists, deprives the U.S. of information necessary to prevent future attacks, and convinces Americans that their country is intractably an aggressive, immoral, unlawful, even evil force in the world deserving to lose a war that it is, in fact, losing.

    rather than treat Islamists’ failure to reciprocate LOAC compliance as stripping away protections, CLOACA contends the U.S. should be obligated to observe LOAC unilaterally, and even to adhere to more rigorous legal standards

    • Exemplarism or equitable “correspondence between capacity and obligation” to benefit have-not Islamist fighters require Western forces to assume more rigorous obligations and shift risks onto themselves
