Foreign Policy. I'm very happy to announce that I am joining Foreign Policy magazine, which is launching an exciting new daily, online site starting Monday featuring a bunch of high-powered foreign policy and national security thinkers, writers, reporters and practitioners. Among them, long time Washington Post defense correspondent Tom Ricks, author of "Fiasco," who will be writing a daily blog, "The Best Defense," on all aspects of hard power; Arab world expert Marc Lynch of the excellent Abu Aardvark blog and George Washington University, and Daniel Drezner of the Fletcher School, are both moving their blogs to the site. Foreign Policy editor Carolyn O'Hara will closely observe all things Hillary (including the array of pants suits) in a new blog, Madam Secretary. Former Bush I NSC official, Rice counselor and 9/11 commission executive director Philip Zelikow, former Pentagon comptroller Dov Zakheim, former NSC official (and Palin foreign policy advisor) Steve Biegun, Bush-era NSC advisor Peter Feaver, and former Condi Rice speechwriter and current Foreign Policy editor Christian Brose will be blogging "the Shadow Government," unclassified for all of us civilians. Former Clinton administration official and NSC chronicler David Rothkopf will interpret the mysteries of Washington powerbrokers; and Harvard's Stephen Walt, author of "The Israel Lobby," will offer his Realist take on global affairs. Veteran Washington Post foreign correspondent and national editor Susan Glasser is executive-editing the whole thing, with help from Foreign Policy online editor Blake Hounshell, and deputy online editor Rebecca Frankel.
As for me, I will be reporting and writing a reported, scoopy online daily column, The Cable, on all things foreign policy.
It's a site we foreign policy junkies, and War and Piece readers, will want to check (at least) daily, and I will rely on your continued tips, insights, hallway gossip, draft memos, after-action reports, after-hours debriefs, and readership. I'm really thrilled to build on the work I've done, including with readers' considerable guidance here at War and Piece, and with the camaraderie and support of lots of great reporter, editor, and blogger colleagues, and insights from many foreign policy and security hands and interested onlookers, and look forward to information-sharing with you all at the new site. (War and Piece will go on, if at reduced capacity). I'll put up all the relevant links so you can easily navigate over when they go live, inshallah, on Monday.
