THE YEAR OF INSURGENCY

My take on 2004 over at Time.

THE FULL RUMSFELD: Greg Djerejian has an excellent post summarizing the latest state of play on the war and how Donald Rumsfeld is undermining it. Yes, most of the new critics are on the right. And the point of the criticism is that we are better positioned to win. My own Sunday Times column on Rummy’s problems can be read here.

THAT POLL: The one on attitudes toward American Muslims. Not good news, but maybe not as grim as advertized.
