There was a rumor that some US special forces units were also using them?

I actually think these vehicles are in use by the dänish special forces. Normally danish soldiers aren't "blacked out" in photos, and it would be more likly for special forces, to take the general secretary of NATO for a spin. By the look of the licenseplat, this vehicle would have been taken into service in 2005.

Actually, this seems true, according to Osprey's new "Special Operations Patrol Vehicles" which I just bought. USSOCOM purchased 47 Supacats for Delta Force to go along with Delta's Pandurs and Pingauers.

And the book also says that Danish and Australian SASRs have them as well. The book has great drawings and photos and just costs $11 USD from Amazon.com.
