For my weekly blog recommendation I’d like to call your attention to the Counterterrorism Blog, a group blog dedicated to providing a one-stop gateway to the counterterrorism community. From their About page:
We envision the blog's audience to be the policymakers in Congress and the Executive Branch, as well as serious students elsewhere, who want to visit a single site to access (1) overnight and breaking news, with realtime intel and commentary by operational experts (“Contributing Experts”); (2) discussions of long-term trends in counterterrorism; (3) summaries of and discussions about US and international law; and (4) a calendar of upcoming events, hearings, and seminars featuring the Contributing Experts. We want to highlight those experts who are or have been deeply involved in counterterrorism cases, and thus enable them to expand their opportunities to bring their expertise to the attention of policymakers. The site is intended to provide fresh information and various perspectives (sometimes opposing), as presented by the Contributing Experts and in the news articles, columns, and website links posted on the blog. Contributing Experts are responsible only for the content of their posts and links. The editor is responsible for sidebar content and design.
I like the site for the mix of news and analysis it offers, particularly the finer details and specifics that may be overlooked in mainstream media coverage. If you are looking for an update on where things stand with the War on Terrorism, the Counterterrorism Blog is a great resource.
