Stevenson’s army, January 30

– NYT reports administration debate over troop withdrawals.– Pentagon reporter says Taliban claim victory.
– NSA Sullivan discusses Iran policy. Remember, Sullivan was a key player in this Carnegie report. I think it has many signposts to where he’s headed.
– FT has revealing interview with founder of Bellingcat, the NGO intelligence service.

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.
