Interesting op-ed today in wsj by former CIA officer Reuel Marc Gerecht. He mentions in passing that CIA operations are now entirely dependent on Xe (formerly Blackwater). Ponder that.

Brave New Foundation Rachel Maddow reported last night new information about "Pentagon Papers"-style U.S. military reports on the accuracy of Afghan security forces--in count, readiness, and timeline. Is this a game-changer? What happens to President Obama's July 2011 date for the beginning of drawdown in light of this information? --CL

Brave New Foundation We cannot turn a blind eye to the lessons of the past. Congressman Eric Massa urges an up/down vote on troop escalation in the House, and asks everyone to watch the new Rethink Afghanistan video, "Afghanistan War: The Soviet Lesson Not Learned." See both and help us by getting word out.

Thirty years later and with the U.S. in its 8th year of occupation, Rethink Afghanistan interviews former Soviet veterans of the war and Afghan leaders of that time who believe the U.S. is repeating their mistakes.
