I’m always reading good things online, so I’m going to keep sharing:
Daredevil- A great piece written by a friend of the late William Buckley. Regardless of what you think of him politically, he was an incredibly interesting man and this offers a great look at him.
The Secret History- A look at the new head of the CIA, Leon Panetta, and the challenges he is faced with while trying to change the direction of the agency after the last eight years.
The Palestinian Terrorist and Me: A story about one reporter’s dealings with a famous Palestinian terrorist living in exhile, and the various efforts to bring him to justice years after his crimes.

Two interesting articles that I stumbled across this week:
Revenge of the Geographers- Kagan wrote an article attributing much of the conflict in recent history to the geographic realities on the ground. This is a collection of counterarguments (as well as links to the original argument). All well written, all pretty fascinating.
Now We Know- An interesting article on the history of KGB involvement in the US, and as a bonus it takes shots at the demagogues on either side of the aisle.
