From the BL archives:
It is said an anti-Communist film Red Dawn, made 20 years ago, inspired the title (carrying the same name) for the operation to capture Saddam Hussein. As part of it, US forces considered two locations near the town of Adwar, 10 miles from Saddam’s hometown Tikrit. The codename assigned to the ‘suspect’ locations is also the name of the company that is a leading maker of casual, work and outdoor footwear. Its brands include Merrell, Caterpillar and Bates. What's the 'common' name?
