Colonel Mathieu is the unsung hero of current counter-insurgency orthodoxy, which requires a minimum military presence in the target country, mainly of intelligence agencies like the CIA and “special forces.” Through “rendition,” a captured suspect can be handed over to a friendly government to be tortured, and, on the basis of the information thus gathered, “kill lists” can be compiled.
马蒂厄上校是当前反起义正统方式的无名英雄：将针对目标国家的出兵规模降至最低，派遣人员主要是情报机构（如中央情报局）和“特别部队”人员。通过“引渡”，被抓获的嫌疑人可以转送至友邦政府进行拷问，再根据获得情报完善“刺杀名单”。
