The New York Times describes SEAL Team 6 as one of the nation’s most mythologized, most secretive and least scrutinized military organizations:
While fighting grinding wars of attrition in Afghanistan and Iraq, Team 6 performed missions elsewhere that blurred the traditional lines between soldier and spy. The team’s sniper unit was remade to carry out clandestine intelligence operations, and the SEALs joined Central Intelligence Agency operatives in an initiative called the Omega Program, which offered greater latitude in hunting adversaries.
Are we supposed to be shocked that snipers would carry out clandestine intelligence operations? Or that the SEALs would work jointly with CIA?
