All - This is worth reading.
C-SPAN's Book TV recorded a discussion by three Pentagon "insiders" who are also contributors to the anthology The Pentagon Labyrinth: 10 Short Essays to Help You Through It. Between them, Tom Christie, Pierre Sprey, and Chuck Spinney have about about 130 years of experience inside the nation's national security apparatus; we ignore their information and lessons at our peril. In fact, the national security mainstream has trying hard to ignore them; post World War Two lows in force structure, weapons age, and readiness at post World War Two highs in spending have been the result. Find out how this happened, the consequences, and how to get out of it; listen to the C-SPAN podcast at http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Labyr. Find a link to the entire text of The Pentagon Labyrinth at http://dnipogo.org/labyrinth/. Want a hard copy of the book? It's available at Amazon.com for $10.00, or send me a note with your address, and I will mail you a copy. _____________________________
