InsurgencyWatch moving to True/Slant
In the coming days, InsurgencyWatch will be moving to True/Slant, “an original content news network tailored to both the ‘Entrepreneurial Journalist’ and marketers who want a more effective way to engage with digital audiences.” (That’s what the official about page says.)
It’s not a decision I’ve made lightly, but I realize that gone are the days when the lone […]
New RSS options
Greetings all. As part of the redesign around here, I added a breaking news category so you can get all your Afghanistan/Pakistan/Insurgency news in one place. (And you can get my brilliant musings, as well, natch.)
But I recognize that it has turned into a bit of a firehose. For those who want to only get my posts, you can unsubscribe in […]
Ch-ch-ch-changes...
If you’re a regular reader, you’ve no doubt noticed that I’ve put a new coat of paint on the place and spiffed it up a bit. The new design you’re reading now will (hopefully) make it easier to discover older material while making the new stuff more front-and-center. I’ve also added a number of news feeds so you can […]
FeedBurner Blues
So, I’ve had it up to … wherever with feedburner.com. It constantly suspends its service and thus stops updating my feed, so you, dear readers, have no idea there’s a new post available. So I’m dumping them like a sack of moldy potatoes.
However, this means you’ll have to update your feeds. I’m sorry about that. But at […]

Afghans in America
While this post has little to do with the insurgency in Afghanistan, it does reflect the project I’ve been working on for the past 10 weeks or so. In my closing days at Stanford University as a Knight Fellow, I decided to explore the Afghan community in Fremont, Calif., which is the largest in the United States. […]

Good news! Feedburner seems to like InsurgencyWatch.com again, after a month or so of not playing well together. That means you can now sign up to receive email notices of new content with the sign-up form on the right.
The Iraqi Endgame: A Podcast
Posted by Christopher Allbritton on August 13, 2009 at 6:04 pm +0000 · Leave a Comment
So the other day I did a podcast interview with the International Relations and Security Network, based in Zurich. The very nice interviewer, Kaisa Schreck, asked some pointed questions and I hope I was able to draw upon my experience in Iraq to give some insightful answers. I’ll let you be the judge, however. You can listen to the […]
