This is an amazing and confronting piece.
It's on Wired's National Security blog Danger Room where writers Noah Shachtman and Spencer Ackerman obtain documents which show special training US military officers received.
They were encouraged to wave a war on civilians in Islamic countries and Muslims themselves, using Hiroshima style tactics or threatening Saudi Arabia with starvation.
It's pretty full on stuff. The comments are also interesting and offer insight into what Wired's readers think about this.
There's one there by a former officer who confirms this sort of thinking was in the military, he says he left because of it.
