U.S. Puts Secretive Special Forces in Spotlight
Dramatic footage of U.S. special forces raiding an Iraqi presidential palace and dam has turned the spotlight on secretive elite units who usually stay in the shadows.
The U.S. military on Thursday showed reporters grainy black and green video footage it had shot of two recent night raids by the heavily armed troops.
In one film, combining aerial and ground shots, an aircraft shoots at enemy positions on the ground as a helicopter drops troops near the turreted wall of what military officials said was one of President Saddam Hussein's residences.
