In the vast American embassy in the hills outside the Jordanian capital Amman a senior US Special Forces officer runs an equally special office. He buys information from Jordanian army and intelligence officers -- for cash, of course -- but he also helps to train Afghan and Iraqi policemen and soldiers.
