Right, working for the Dept of Navy leaves me out of the loop.

In any event, you are claiming that 500-1000 lbs of explosives
- you can't hide that much blast power easily.

I would have a hard time. The ragheads are managing to get it done. You don't have to believe it, but talk to someone in theater - they believe because they are seeing it.

FYI. Things those pesky insurgents are doing(From a NewsMax story):

When the Marines first went into the city they were aware of the tight control insurgents exercised over Haditha. They discovered that the insurgents had freshly paved-over dirt roads leading into town under the auspices of civic works projects.


They were, according to a NewsMax source, "beautiful asphalt surfaced roads" adorned that even included painted lines. The only problem, the source recalled, was that insurgents had laid more than 100 mega-IEDs under that asphalt. And, in order to avoid having to change batteries in the triggering devices, they wired them into the city power lines lining the road.
