Delta Force: The U.S. Army's Quiet Professionals
Rowan Scarborough at the Washington Times wrote an interesting piece about the Army's Delta Force, the special operations unit that captured Saddam Hussein.

Note: I interviewed retired Lieutenant General William G. Boykin, a founding member of Delta Force who went on to command the unit, for Counterterrorism magazine.
