I’m about to submit my picks for this week to the Watcher’s Council and this week I have several posts that I think are worthy of special consideration.
SWJ Blog, “Pentagon Study? Current Events in Iraq? Not So Fast…”
This is the non-Council post I plan to submit. The folks at SWJ Blog performed some real journalism and went to the author of a study to get the straight skinny.
American Digest, “On Soul, Shvarts “Art” and Wrapping Crap in Plastic”
Gerard Vanderleun reminisces on art, mores, and the good old days back in Berkeley.
DNI, “The Art of Nonlearning in the Real World”
Chuck Spinney reflects on the grand strategic failures of the Bush prosecution of the War on Terror. Hat tip: Mark Safranski
FWIW, I thought Vanderleun’s piece was a great one.
