RAMBLING RECOMMENDATIONS<\/b><\/p>\n
Due to an aggravating surfeit of mundane but absolutely necessary tasks, the third part of the Nixon series will have to wait a day or two.<\/p>\n
Some minor recommendations:<\/p>\n
Secrecy News<\/a><\/strong> put out by Dr. Steven Aftergood<\/strong> <\/a>of the Federation of American Scientists<\/strong> <\/a>is a high quality, almost unbelievably good, blog deserving of much wider notice. I say this as someone who thinks that while Dr. Aftergood is sometimes too cavalier in his attitude toward what I would regard as vital (i.e. things that actually should be classfied) secrets, he shines a much needed, expert, light on the counterproductive secrecy empire of the security bureaucracy.<\/p>\n Shloky.com<\/a><\/strong> is also, IMHO, vastly underrated.

Jeff Medcalf<\/strong> <\/a>and Collounsbury<\/a> <\/strong>are going head to head.<\/p>\n Two gentlemen I respect: Colonel Austin Bay<\/strong> <\/a>features a guest post by Naval War College professor Dr. Tom Nichols<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Two important military theory related posts by Dr. Barnett<\/strong> <\/a>and John Robb<\/strong> <\/a>that I probably would have critiqued at length had I not spent the last hour trying to fix the F-ing dresser that the Son of Zenpundit<\/span><\/strong> somehow damaged ( I strongly suspect there was some kind of “ladder” scenario going on with the drawers to get the “Buried Treasure” hotwheel type toy that was out of reach).<\/p>\n An article: ” A Decisive weapon: A Brigade Commander’s Perspective on Information Operations<\/a>” (PDF).
