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 […]

Help With Feeds, Facebook, etc.?

Greet­ings all. This post is for the hive mind and social media experts.
As you may know, I’ve been hav­ing much trou­ble with Feed­Burner and other social net­work­ing sites in my attempts at repub­lish­ing. When­ever I try to burn the feed, Feed­Burner says the feed times out. How­ever, it checks out OK with a val­ida­tor and other readers […]

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 […]

The Iraqi Endgame: A Podcast

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 […]

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. […]

Subscriptions now operating again

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.
