RECOMMENDED READING
Some good things here:
Dr. Thomas Barnett has blasted the attempt by the Pentagon to gut what military manpower remains in order to preserve all the ” big-ticket” items. (He was beaten to the punch here by Brad Plumer)
Dr. Chet Richards at DNI unveiled the intro to his new book
NYKR in DC has an interesting post on “ open source cyberjihad “
The First Iraq discusses ” Fingerprinting the Human Voice” – which reminded me of Solzhenitsyn’s characters in The First Circle
Friend of Zenpundit Myke Cole is back from Taiwan and has an article coming out in The Journal of Counterterrorism and Homeland Security International – which is not readily available online but some of you have university library access.
Bruce Kesler slashes at “Democrat Infamy” – he’s correct that the Democratic Party is basically in a state of moral collapse over the war. A collapse that Howard Dean’s recent comments, in my view, badly aggravated without even satisfying the party’s antiwar wingnuts.
Dr. Nexon at The Duck of Minerva opines on the State and Westphalia ( while beating the Belmont Club about the face and head). I would however have liked to hear Dan’s take on the underlying post by Josh Manchester, particularly the network aspect.
That’s it !
