| "Introducing the Counterterrorism Blog, the first multi-expert blog dedicated solely to counterterrorism issues. To my knowledge, there has been no such blog on the internet. We envision the blog's audience to be the policymakers in Congress and the Executive Branch, as well as serious students elsewhere, who want to visit a single site to access (1) overnight and breaking news, with realtime intel and commentary by operational experts; (2) discussions of long-term trends in counterterrorism; (3) summaries of and discussions about US and international law; and (4) a calendar of upcoming events, hearings, and seminars. I want to highlight those experts who have extensive knowledge of counterterrorism cases, and thus enable them to expand their opportunities to bring their expertise to the attention of policymakers. Please note: I have nothing to do with this blog; just figured some of you here would really go for it. I know I do! |

| #9 Hmmm... Perhaps Stephen den Beste would be interested in being a contributor... he could write on his own schedule, choosing topics that tweaked his interest and would benefit from his considerable analytical skills. I presume he doesn't have specific spook skills on his resume, but the man can absorb anything, find the pivot points, and present a coherent analysis where there was information chaos with a hign noise to signal ratio before. Just thinking aloud, Stephen, don't whack me, heh. Specifically addressing this article, I must admit the first thought came from the cynic in me: Ah, they want to be power brokers. Upon reflection and looking at the site a little more, that was, indeed, too cynical. This just may be an excellent resource for fact-checking some of the looneytoons that we encounter. |

| #7 Beware. I haven't checked out this site yet, but Larry Johnson (of the July 10, 2001 NYT op-ed "The Declining Terrorist Threat") is listed as a contributor. |
