Several government reports in the news


If you watched the Daily Show from Aug. 23, you saw a very interesting interview with a gentleman who helped write the Army's Counterinsurgency Field Manual. This is a book you can actually buy, or, if you're curious about it, you can view an online version, made available from the Government Printing Office.

Other government publications have been in the news lately. The latest National Intelligence Estimate came out this week, and an unclassified summary entitled "Prospects for Iraq's Stability: Some Security Progress but Political Reconciliation Elusive" is available from the Director of National Intelligence.

This week also saw the release of a report from the CIA's Inspector General—"OIG Report on the CIA Accountability With Respect to the 9/11 Attacks"—that has received much media attention. This link is to the unclassified executive summary of the report.
