This is an hour long interview with Australia's Lt Col (Dr.) Dave Kilcullen. He's been one of Gen Petraeus' senior advisors on COIN ops. The interview goes into a decent level of detail on the basics of counter insurgency and also goes into some good specific issues regarding Iraq and Afghanistan.
Red Collar:
You might enjoy this some. It's a bit off topic but I'm just crazy brave that way :)
