Afghanistan and Iraq articles

Nov 4

Posted by admin in History | No Comments

Just want to let you know about a couple of articles I published this week that may be of interest. One is Operation Phantom Fury – the Beginning of the End of Al Qaeda in Iraq, by Richard S. Lowry. Saturday will be the fifth anniversary of Phantom Fury, the second battle of Fallujah.

The other article is What Next in Afghanistan?, an analysis/debate on the best option for success in Afghanistan that my employer arranged. The authors are strategist Ralph Peters and DoD intel expert John Sutherland. We asked each of them to write their opinions separately, then sent each one the other’s comments and gave them a chance to rebut. Feel free to weigh in with your own opinions.

The Wanted program on NBC News

Jul 13

Posted by admin in History | No Comments

Hey, guys. Just want to tell you something about a new program you may (or may not) have heard about. It’s called “The Wanted,” from NBC News, and it deals with tracking down accused terrorists who are living openly in Western countries. The investigators include a former Green Beret, a former Navy SEAL, and a journalist. I interviewed the former Green Beret, Roger D. Carstens, about the program, http://www.historynet.com/nbc-news-the-wanted-an-interview-with-roger-d-carstens.htm

The first episode airs Monday, July 20, 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time; the second (and so far final) one will be at the same time on Monday, July 27. I didn’t get a screener on this one, the way I do with HBO programs, but it sure sounds interesting.
