...the number of black ops groups the United States has.
Of particular note is the CIA's Special Activities division. These guys are so elite, they recruit from groups like Delta and ST6. Hell, Delta and ST6 are already recruiting from the Rangers and the regular SEALs, so you can say they're the best of the best of the best. Does the UK have a clandestine group drawing applicants from the SAS? Doubt it!
They go through additional training as intelligence operatives from the CIA and pick up additional skills like lock picking, high performance driving and foreign languages among other things. Then they get dropped behind enemy lines without support holding what I presume is as close an analogue to a license to kill as real life offers.
The stuff of spy novels.
On another note, Sullivan has a piece up on the Atlantic about Obama's announcement. It wasn't entirely a rational argument, but I think it appeals to a lot of people's feelings on the issue.
