Death by Powerpoint

Guerilla snipers in Iraq are now pol­ish­ing their craft online, with a web-​​based train­ing man­ual.
“If you had only one shot, who should you kill?” the primer asks, lead­ing its stu­dents through a series of grisly sce­nar­ios.

If you see a line of Soldiers, kill the one who you think is the offi­cer. Then, shoot the com­mu­ni­ca­tions offi­cer, then the MG [machine­gun­ner] then the doc­tor if hes there, youll know by the red cross on his arm (you dont need to respect the Geneva Treaty as long as the enemy does not respect it) and shoot at the Soldiers.
The man­ual was recently trans­lated, turned in to a PowerPoint pre­sen­ta­tion, and given to Defense and the National Interest by an American gov­ern­ment worker in Iraq.
“We posted it pri­mar­ily to make it widely avail­able to U.S. troops, includ­ing those in the U.S,” the site’s edi­tor, Chet Richards says.
In that spirit, Military​.com has uploaded an HTML ver­sion so folks with­out PowerPoint can take a look. ABC News has more.
