knickerbocker press
lots of chatter over a brent scowcroft related piece in the new yorker yesterday but i see today that they havent put it up for our delectation. if im not mistaken, the new yorker was predominantly liberally hawkish in the run up to war. in fact, i believe the guy who wrote the scowcroft piece was one of its biggest cheerleaders. so, thanks for nothing, then and now, unless you find this q&a with the author satisfactory.

When truth is a casualty, democracy receives collateral damage." For the first time in US history, "we allowed strategic psychological operations to become part of public affairs... [W]hat has happened is that information warfare, strategic influence, [and] strategic psychological operations pushed their way into the important process of informing the peoples of our two democracies.""

"This morning's announcement that the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize would be awarded to the IAEA sends a strong message to the White House that it is time to get serious about non proliferation and arms control. Unfortunately, the White House is not listening."
