Recommended Reading -Wikileaks Edition….

We may as well get this out of the way as it is the overriding story for good reasons as well as bad. After that, a few other interesting things……

First, here is the doc dump site itself Wikileaks

The best round-up post in this section of the blogosphere is by SWJ Blog –The Afghanistan War Logs Update

Now for some bloggers whose Wikileaks posts or op-eds caught my eye:

Josh Foust – The Assange Leaks: What’s new about the WikiLeaks data?

Andrew Exum – Getting Lost in the Fog of War

Karaka Pend – Document Dumping

Thomas P.M. Barnett –Wikileaks: the transparency standard we inevitably face in the Long War

Pundita – Afghan War version of Pentagon Papers released, WikiLeak Afghan War Papers: Pity the White House spin machine, Afghans say, ‘I told you so’ after WikiLeak papers point to Pak military’s support for Taliban, U.S. support for Pakistan’s military aiding conditions for Castro-style revolution in Pakistan, Afghan government questions U.S. silence over Pakistani regime’s support for Taliban, Are you calling Amrullah Saleh a liar, Mr Semple?

At this juncture, allow me to pause and say “Miss Pundita, en fuego!!”

Newshoggers.com – Wikileaks and ‘material support’, Pakistan’s ISI: No “Smoking Gun”?,  Some thoughts on the “War Logs“, “Wikileaks War Logs? Nothing new, move along.” Sure…To November!

BLACKFIVE – Strategy Room video

Sic Semper Tyrannis –The Afghan Papers

Wings Over Iraq –“Our Valuable Ally” (Updated) , Wikileaks: The Big Deal

Great Satan’s Girlfriend – Legerdemain

For laughs, from SWJ Blog –Taliban Responds to WikiLeaks

Technically, it isn’t the Taliban, but rather the Haqqani Network asshats, but they all have huge beards, opium bundles, AK-47’s and nominally retired ISI colonels as advisers….same difference.

SOME NON-WIKILEAKS ITEMS OF INTEREST…….

S. Anthony Iannarino – Selling and the Human Terrain System

This is a neat example of horizontal thinking, where Anthony uses HTS as a foil for applying business strategies. I particularly liked his questions at the conclusion of the post:

Selling is About the Human Terrain
