Ms. Tart, a great friend of RoguelyStated, tagged us with a Thinking Blogger Award. We’re flattered, and in turn it’s our duty to tag five other sites. These are plucked from the RS Blogroll, so here are some thoughts on why they’re there:
Counterterrorism Blog is a group of serious people writing - usually in realtime - about ongoing events with broad international security implications. Timely and incisive analysis is never in short supply at CT Blog.
Small Wars Journal is one-stop-shopping for those looking to understand the evolution of warfare and its implications for security policy. RS’ own Fernando Lujan, himself a small wars operator, has contributed to SWJ’s robust dialogue.
Prolific, fiery, engaging, and thought-provoking: Thomas P.M. Barnett is a must-read and (maybe even moreso) a must-watch.
Bored or confused by legal wranglings and court rulings? You don’t have to be - the crew at National Security Advisors can help you sort it out. The courts are the battlefield on which the fate of national security policies is often decided. Best that we keep abreast of what the rulings mean and the National Security Advisors team blogs it so the JD-less among us can understand.
Last but certainly not least is ForeignPolicy.com’s Passport. Their morning brief is amazing, and they meet their stated objective of providing “iconoclastic thinking designed to catch you off guard—and make you think.” Yup.
Others? Post them in the comments.
