Stevenson’s army, September 12

– Stanford’s Amy Zegart says CIA post-9/11 has been too involved in military activities, weakening its core mission of avoiding strategic surprise.

– WaPo notes the new bipartisan duo working to reform US war powers laws

– Pentagon has regained control of 6% of IP addresses secretly given to Florida company.

– LA Times says US has removed Patriot missiles from Saudi Arabia.

– FBI released highly redacted report on Saudi involvement in 9/11 attacks. Just look at the redactions!

– Oversight:  foreign policy committees hear from SecState Blinken on Mon & Tues in open sessions. SASC hears from Brown & Milley behind closed doors. Check out schedules.

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).
