Stevenson’s army, August 19

Pentagon on defensive.

– WSJ says Afghan pilots flew to Uzbekistan.

GOP divided on Afghan refugees.

– Sarah Chayes says US civilians made key mistakes over the years in Afghanistan.

– MIT study says Chinese hackers disguised as Iranian to hack Israel.

PS: Charlie has added the following:

– CJR discusses the Taliban’s “spin machine.”

– A former Air Force intelligence guy tells what the Taliban talked about.

Facebook tells what gets the most views.

– I do agree with  this AEI analyst’s arguments against a separate Cyber Force.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
