I found this whole "news" item pretty amusing. We've been doing covert ops through the Pentagon for decades. The CIA is institutionally incapable of producing tactically useful HUMINT in a timely fashion for battlefield use. Rummy's biggest change to the existing system was to give the CIA a 72 hour window to object instead of approval rights, and arranging for pentagon and CIA operatives to be made aware of the others' respective locations & activities. To me that sounds like a good idea.
Come to think of it, I've been laughing my ass off at the "news" rather a lot recently. US SF are doing recon in Iran - really?!? Ya think?!? Amazing!! Next they'll tell us that we are making covert incursions into Pakistan!
