John Nagl is, way, way off on his ‘new’ approach to think tanks. He’s calling for a Manhattan project type think tank to approach Islamic terrorism. Problem is, that won’t get at the structural problem, won’t generate new frameworks, and will largely be a highly concentrated version of what we already have.
I really like Democracy Journal, but they would have been much better off asking Michael Tanji to write about this. He gets it.
