Steve Inskeep in Baghdad

As the horrors of Iraq mushroom with death squad torture/killing squads running rampant, I keep thinking I only imagined that there was a US policy afoot which would use the "Salvador Option" to deal with the insurgency. But doing a little digging I found that it was not my imagination--Newsweek broke the "death squad" story approach back in January of 2005. Does Inskeep make any reference to this policy? I didn't hear it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
