Remember that a local who does something as small as speak to the Americans in private briefly is likely to get killed if the TB find out. Commanders SITREPS often mention such incidents because it gives them a way to illustrate progress.
Forgive me if I don't disclose particular examples. Both because I am too lazy to dig them up, and because it would be monumentally stupid to do so.
