US troops put in harm’s way by lack of White House info-sharing, report says​
By JOHN VANDIVERSTARS AND STRIPES • October 27, 2022

A Navy SEAL sniper’s killing of an ISIS fighter in Cameroon, the wounding of a Marine in battle in Tunisia and large-scale gunfights in Somalia.

Those are among the reporting failures across presidential administrations that have put U.S. troops at heightened risk because of insufficient oversight, according to a transnational think tank based in Brussels.

In a report released Wednesday, the International Crisis Group called for greater congressional oversight of ongoing American counterterrorism missions.

“The failure to report such hostilities, or quietly and retroactively sweeping them under the 2001 (Authorization for Use of Military Force) … increases the risk that the U.S. will unwittingly slide into new conflicts,” the report said.
