Stevenson’s army, August 28 and 29

I missed yesterday, so two today:

August 29

– WaPo says US will withdraw all embassy people from Kabul.

– WSJ says US used non-explosive Hellfire to kill ISIS-K planners.

– WaPo has its tick-tock on the final days of the Ghani government.

– NYT says US nears revision of drone rules, with more centralized vetting of strikes.

– Vanity Fair reports on the reduced media presence in Kabul.

August 28

Retaliatory strike on ISIS-K.

– Atlantic writers assess the Taliban and ISIS-K.

– Retired ambassador on how State should prepare for interventions.

– Washingtonian on what Bezos wants to do with the Post

CRS has some new products on Afghanistan.

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).
