    I'm still working on getting through it. But I think your right about the audiences reception of it, and not yet sure that they would be wrong. We'll see

    Sherifa Zuhur's article, Precision in the War of Ideas becomes coherent in the Conclusions and Recommendations section beginning on page 115.

    Just finished it -- and thanks for linking -- and while I see some minor and totally understandable slanting, on balance it seems pretty sensible and reasonable to me. I can see some objecting to it on iideological grounds but am not sure why it would make anyone uncomfortable...

    Scan reading. Good read and basic common sense. The scarcity of the latter in DC makes it an important read if those who actually need to read it do so. This has to be on AEI's list of banned books.

    The conclusions are indeed the core of the book.

    Andy Terrill is a good friend. Good to see he served as a reviewer.
