Stevenson’s army, September 11

– In WSJ Daniel Byman explains why the US hasn’t suffered another 9/11-sized attack.

– In WaPo, Colbert King notes that most US deaths have been from domestic terrorists.

Philip Zelikow of the 9/11 commission reflects on the attacks and aftermath.

– NYT notes  where the US continues to go after terrorists. As I have mentioned, the presidential war powers report says the US still has troops “equipped for combat” in 18 countries.

– A US official who dealt with Pakistan after 9/11 tells that story.

-NYT investigated and now has persuasive information that the final Kabul drone strike did not kill terrorists, but several civilians.

– NYT also says US trained the soldiers who launched the coup in Guinea.

– BuzzFeed has more on how Capitol Police missed the Jan. 6 insurrection.

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).
