  1. “We have become morally ill because we are used to saying one thing and thinking another,”. First post-Cold War Czech president, Vaclav Havel, on his country’s life under authoritarian rule. Kept thinking of that, reading various Senatorial statements on their vote today.

  3. “ If The Senate absolves the president of obstruction of Congress, it will be the largest transfer of power from the Congress to the Executive Branch in our history. If that happens how will we ever conduct oversight of the Executive Branch?” Senator Angus King today on NBC.

  4. The late PBS anchor, Jim Lehrer “ ... news is not a commodity ... it’s information that’s required in a democratic society ... Jefferson said a democracy is dependent on an informed citizenry ... I don’t care whether it sounds corny or not. It’s the truth.”

  5. Muddled strategy, fog of war, turmoil in Iraq and Iran, nuclear drift — where is the US-Iran conflict heading? My take:

  6. Intelligence analysts are appropriately overseen by Congressional intell committees, but it’s a bad idea for federal prosecutors to be examining them in the context of a criminal investigation. Former prosecutor and DNI/GC Bob Litt and I explain why.

    Prosecutors investigating intelligence analysts is a dangerous idea, writes Robert S. Litt and

  8. Toughness is too admired and too little understood in Washington. Listen to FDR in 1940: “Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel in order to be tough.”

  9. Only 2 weeks left to apply to the 2020 NSSPP workshop--if you're a mid-career national security professional, apply here! Great program, terrific location. Applications close Jan 21 at 6pm.

  10. So Trump pulls out of the Iran nuclear deal last year saying he wants a better deal. Now he ends up with no deal and the likelihood that Iran arrives again at the threshold of nuclear breakout. Strategy is either absent or failing miserably.

  11. First take on likely Iranian retaliation and longer term impact of the strike on Suleimani. “... asymmetric tactics that play to its advantages: intimate knowledge of the region, intelligence ties and its network of supporters and proxies there.” My take:

    Poništi
  12. No question Suleimani is a bad guy —but critical at this point is for the US to come forward with a credible rationale for a strike of this consequence. This is a moment when we need to have cultivated allies, which we have not, so the credibility bar will be higher than usual.

  13. Much of the Trump administration’s foreign policy decision making in 2020 will be made with the next presidential election in mind. The same for many other countries. And there’s a lot to worry about in that. My take:

  14. Daniel’s analysis makes sense. There is no strategy here, just impulse and flailing.

  16. A constitutional lawyer contends there is no good reason for SCOTUS to have accepted circuit courts cases involving Trump documents and testimony. He asserts the resulting delay is a vote in favor of Trump by the Court. Legal experts here agree?

  17. Put impeachment aside. Supporting the man means finding this acceptable. Disgusting behavior. Normal only by society’s lowest standards.

    Poništi
  18. Even knowing how divided we are and having lived through the last three years, it is still startling, shocking even, to hear in this debate how stark, extreme, and ugly is the partisan clash now on display. Putin has to be pleased and wondering what another shove might do.

    This is a must read from the least political man I know. Judge Webster is a person of the greatest integrity. When he feels compelled to pen such a forceful op-ed, something must be deeply wrong.

    The EU gives far more money to Ukraine than the US. Yet another lie, repeated yet again
