And what rules they are.

"American Marines and Georgian soldiers waited outside the mud-brick compound about a mile north of Bagram Air Field as their interpreter and a Georgian master sergeant pressed a group of villagers about who may have been responsible for rocket attacks against the nearby NATO base.

Days before, an American civilian woman was killed when a rocket slammed into her vehicle inside the wire. Krissie Davis of Talladega, Ala., became the first employee of the Pentagon’s Defense Logistics Agency killed in Afghanistan. Another American civilian was wounded.

The U.S.-Georgian patrol was looking for a “person of interest” in the attack. But the villagers insisted the person was no longer there. The patrol had little choice but to take the villagers at their word.

Before the NATO combat mission ended last December, the Marines and the Georgians could have searched the compound to see if the suspect was hiding inside. Under the new post-command mission rules, however, they need a search warrant from the Afghan police or the government’s intelligence service, said Marine Gunnery Sgt. Jeremy Langford.

Troops say there are signs the Taliban and other insurgents are adapting to the new rules of engagement.

During the June 10 patrol, Langford said that since NATO troops can no longer search homes without a warrant, insurgents simply hide inside until the patrol leaves.

“It’s either, ‘They just went to the mosque’ or, ‘You just missed them; they are in Kabul,’?” Langford said, recalling numerous excuses he has heard during patrols around Bagram.

As the patrol ambled down a narrow dirt path toward their vehicles, Langford quickly glanced back at the compound’s windows.

“Sometimes you’ll see [someone] peek out the windows after they say no one is there,” he said.

Do the patrols find suspects they are looking for?"

This would be laughable if it didn't put American lives at risk. You can bet the Taliban is highly amused.
