yes sir-ree, that's what our boys do (quite well I might add) and I can't wait for the results... picture this : me, gleefully rubbing hands together while laughing sinisterly to no one in particular

Seems to me that a few Spectre's with night vision would do a good job of cleaning the place up! Just fly around at night, watch the tv and start the gatling guns.
Could be relatively easy if Osama is out walking his poodle some night!!
