    The faith experts and pundits have in our nation’s covert military drone program is so worrying. The strike in Kabul wasn’t an anomaly. The only leaked data set on drone efficiency suggests we hit the wrong target over 80% of the time. I won’t stop speaking out about this.

    "The only difference between a determinist and a compatibilist is whether you get cute with your definitions." Highly accurate statement.

    Thanks to , author of the bestselling time management book Four Thousand Weeks, for deciding that discussing the question of free will with me was a good use of his time. (I think it was: we settled the question once and for all.)

    Good piece: "How much of a “striking success” can the war on terror be if we’re now pursuing it in “as many as 85 countries”? You don’t hear doctors say, “Our treatment of the patient’s cancer has been a striking success, and we’re now targeting more of his organs than ever..."

    "Why has the war on terror gone pretty well by one metric—number of people killed in America by terrorists—and pretty badly by another: the proliferation of terrorist groups?"

    thought this was good - and struck at the heart of one of the biggest issues in politics: "I have to do this thing with bad long-term consequences because it will make me look better in the short-term"

    The parenthetical in this paragraph drives home how little we understand about some of the countries we've deemed part of our global war on terrorism.

    "I mean, I get that national governments always value the lives of their citizens over foreign lives. But isn’t there some limit on the acceptable rate of conversion?" ( on global war on terror, but see also third doses over first doses).

    Somebody's gotta provide the left wing take here: the American flag didn't catch the cat but broke its fall; and some green fabric seems also to have played a role. Sorry--I just didn't want American exceptionalists to get carried away with the metaphors. I applaud all involved!

    A cat survived a dramatic fall Saturday inside a packed American football stadium, after fans created a makeshift net with an American Flag to safely catch the feline. 😱 The stadium later tweeted to confirm the cat was safe... 😅🏟

    Between US Special Forces unknowingly training coupists in Guinea and a US commander mistakenly obliterating by drone a family whose dad works for a US charity in Kabul, it seems that the Pentagon needs to be a lot more careful in exotic places it still doesn't understand.

    American Special Forces flew to Guinea to train an elite military unit. But before the course was over, the Guineans stormed the presidential palace and violently seized power.
