"is reported to be..."

Before adding conspiracy theories
If you intend to add Kurt Nimmo, Prisonplanet, or other black-helicopter-type information to this article, please discuss it on this talk page first. Wikipedia requires that you provide sources which are verifiable and reputable.  MortonDevonshire  Yo  · 20:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Seriously the sources in this article, from sourcewatch to project censored to prison planet are so poor that very little of the article is salvageable and in its current form reads like an Alex Jones rant. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 03:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Was this organization actually created?
Was this organization acutally created? I am looking for sources which shows that it was. Travb (talk) 23:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Removed to talk
I moved the following to the talk page, because it seems to have little to do with the group, and is unsourced:


 * ===Growth industry===


 * Along with similar clandestine and black ops initiatives, P2OG has been cited as an example of government programs that have led to the proliferation of spy agencies and the rapid growth of defense contractors in the US and abroad.  Michael G. Vickers, a former Special Forces soldier and one-time CIA officer, said the evolving nature of the war on terrorism makes it likely that covert military operators will be called on more often in the future.  Having successfully chased al Qaeda from Afghanistan, the US and its coalition partners may need more unconventional forces to chase down individual fugitives elsewhere.  "This is basically a growth industry," said Vickers, now an analyst at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.


 * Rumsfeld is considering adding billions of dollars to the $5 billion budget of the Special Operations Command, the Tampa, Florida based headquarters that has responsibility for all of the military's special operations forces -- the Army's Rangers and Green Berets, the Navy's Seals and the Air Force's special operations commandos. The defense secretary also has asked Special Operations Command to take the lead in some anti-terrorism operations, a clear change from the usual arrangement of having a regional command, such as the Middle East-oriented U.S. Central Command, take the lead.




 * The covert side of the US military's special operations force resides in a sub-command, known as the Joint Special Operations Command. Based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, it reportedly has command of the Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta, aka Delta Force, a secretive counterterrorism unit.  William M. Arkin, a private military and intelligence expert who has written about the Pentagon's efforts to expand covert capabilities, says Rumsfeld is building up "an elite secret army" and that this emphasis on covert action reflects the Pentagon's frustrations with the performance of the CIA and other intelligence agencies.  "Insulated from outside pressures, armed with matchless weapons and technology, trained to operate below the shadow line, the Pentagon's black world of classified operations holds out the hope of swift, decisive action" in the war on terror, Arkin has written in The Los Angeles Times.www.prisonplanet.com/news_alert_102702_p2og.html]
