Mind Reading That Works (Sci-fi like American Army in Afghanistan)

This a very futuristic type way of predicting where to find the Islamic enemy leadership to kill them, and even predict where the enemy hides their goods.

Excerpt:
The U.S. Army has upgraded its intelligence tools to more accurately predict where enemy leaders in Afghanistan are, as well as the location of enemy weapons storage sites, smuggling routes and bomb making workshops. The enemy finds this sort of thing very annoying. A sniper or smart bomb is something an Islamic terrorist can understand. Well, OK, the smart bombs smack of magic, but these intel tools are incomprehensible to most everyone. Yet, everyone in the United States is touched by these tools, everyday. Fortunately, snipers and smart bombs are not involved.
Thus it came to be that some of the most effective intelligence tools used in combat today (data mining and predictive analysis) were invented a century ago as part of the development of junk mail. Who knew? Now these tools predict what the enemy is going to do. For decades, the statistical tools used to determine who to send junk mail to (so the sender would make a profit) were not much use to the military.
