Harper's Magazine HTT Story
Hey all you HTT news junkies, my feature story about the first HTT in Afghanistan is now out in the current (Sept.) issue of Harper's Magazine. Most of it will be old hat to those of you who know the subject well; it's written for people for whom COIN is something they carry in their pockets, not an acronym.
Another example of the shoddy research...
the article has a link to a Mother Jones piece which the author seems to include to cast aspersions upon the reputation of Mitzie McFate. But the article pertains to a Mary McFate/Sapone who lives in FL and there is no mention in the piece of this particular woman's activities with HTS. WTFO!
You gotta filter it through a loaf of bread
otherwise it makes your breath smell sort of er, sweet... ;)
OTOH, if we don't drink it at all any more, we'll miss out on the really cool journalism out there... :rolleyes:
Come to think of it, if we do miss out on that, we'll probably get smarter. :wry:
P.S.
To the squirrels, there need no tie-in other than their absolute knowledge that evil sticks together. Nor does anything have to make sense....
