RECOMMENDED READING<\/b>
<\/strong>
This should be a good edition. Let the sparks fly:<\/p>\n

From Dr. Carl Conetta<\/strong> of The Project on Defense Alternatives<\/a><\/strong>, a new article “Resolving Iraq<\/a>” which lays out what I would term the ” withdraw now” position on Iraq of the more Democratic side of the national security and defense communities. A summary can be found here<\/a>. I am pairing this one with:<\/p>\n

From LTC David Kilcullen<\/strong>, special adviser to the State Department, “Don’t confuse the “Surge” with the Strategy<\/a>” at the SWJ Blog<\/a><\/strong>. Colonel Kilcullen describes the change as
“The new strategy reflects counterinsurgency best practice as demonstrated over dozens of campaigns in the last several decades<\/span><\/strong>“. This post can also be discussed at The Small Wars Council<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matt<\/strong> at MountainRunner<\/strong> <\/a>has a post that should be of interest to many readers here (including Tom<\/a>, Steve<\/a>, John<\/a>, Critt <\/a>and Dave<\/a><\/strong>) – “Visualizing connectivity, civilization, readers of this blog<\/a>“. A picture is worth 1000 words in this instance.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Dave<\/strong>, at Thoughts Illustrated<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>he has an example <\/a>of “Amazode<\/a><\/strong>” a very cool ” book networking visualization” app. Try entering some of your favorite books into the search.<\/p>\n

Updating the series on Evolutionary Cognitivism <\/a>by Dan of tdaxp<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Selection and Cognition<\/a>, Epigenetics and Diversity<\/a>, Children and Diversity<\/a>, The Implicit and the Explicit<\/a>, Man among men <\/a>, More than Genes<\/a>, Bibliography<\/a><\/p>\n

eerie<\/a> <\/strong>at Aqoul<\/a><\/strong> reviews Hernando De Soto’s<\/strong> The Mystery of Capital<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. eerie is getting quite good at scouting out good reading material for my book pile.<\/p>\n

The latest Hugh Hewitt-Thomas Barnett transcript can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At Secrecy News<\/strong><\/a> they have a copy up (roughly 400 page PDF) of the Defense Science Board’s<\/strong> unclassified “Educing Information:Interrogation Science and Art<\/a>“. This was the report I received last week and it has some good material for those interested in the intelligence side of things.<\/p>\n

“Difference and Friction<\/a>” at the consistently excellent Edge Perspective with John Hagel<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That’s it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
