New must-read blog. A great thing has happened. Two of the smartest and most articulate Democratic national security thinkers I know, Heather Hurlburt and Lorelei Kelly, have started blogging, at Democracy Arsenal, with a team of top-drawer like-minded national security experts. Hurlburt, a former presidential speech writer, wrote the best article the Washington Monthly has seen a few years back, and Kelly is an expert on peace and security issues on the Hill and at the Stimson Center. They are blogging as part of a team that includes former staffers to Richard Holbrooke and John Edwards. Check them out! (Thanks to Praktike, whose blog you should also be reading, for the heads up).
