Nine days after Tim Hetherington was killed, I received an email from him. It was sent on April 20, the day he died, but for whatever reason, spent a week in digital purgatory. I read it at 2 a.m. on a Friday morning, still feeling numb and confused by his death.

What America Has Lost
Scatterbrain 2010/09/06
In the past, the U.S. government has built up for wars, assumed emergency authority, and sometimes abused that power, yet always demobilized after the war. But this is a war without end. When do we declare victory? When do the emergency powers cease?

Time to Draw Down in Afghanistan
Scatterbrain 2010/07/29

Under this approach, the United States would accept Taliban control of the Pashtun-dominated south so long as the Taliban did not welcome back Al Qaeda and did not seek to und

With Their Eye on Midterms, Don't Expect Democrats to Break With Israel
Scatterbrain 2010/06/02
[Israel/Palestine][Flotilla][US][Politics]Meanwhile, as Digby herself complains, the media coverage of this issue does not lend itself to a popular uprising against U.S. support for Israel.

Published Mar 11, 2010 at 7:00 PM EST Updated Mar 13, 2010 at 9:13 PM EST Back when President Obama lived in Indonesia, in the late 1960s, China loomed as a malign force to the north, where communist cadres plotted to export their revolution to the rest of Asia.
