A short update

Pete Hegseth over at The Tank has a good read called The Sounds of Silence that's fairly short.

• As the director of an Iraq & Afghanistan veteran’s organization, I follow the headlines from Iraq very closely. So, it’s always news to me when there is little news from Iraq…at least from the mainstream media.
  
  Over the last few weeks, with the exception of the unfortunate Blackwater story, headlines from Iraq have been few and far between.
  
  Why is this the case? There must be a reason. And I believe the reason is rooted both in what has happened and what has not.
