My office fit eight of the ten signs listed. I knew my office was kooky. But isn’t everyone’s? I’d been working there for about three months, and my first hint that things were a little odd was when my boss led me into a conference room and, in hushed tones, asked me about an e-mail our vice president had sent. “What do you think Paul meant in his email?” she asked. This must be some sort of trick question, I decided. I answered, “Um, what he wrote in the email?” Silly me. Turns out, the V.P. meant exactly the opposite of what he had written. “You have to read between the lines,” said my boss, as if this explaine...

FriedmanBusinessweek has a story quoting a former federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, Michael Wildes, speculating that Faisal Shahzad, the would-be Times Square bomber, made so many mistakes (leaving his house keys in the car, not knowing about the vehicle identification number, making calls from his cellphone, getting filmed, buying the car himself) that he may be the “dumbest terrorist in the world.” But Wildes can’t accept the idea that an al Qaeda type terrorist would be so incompetent and suggests that Shahzad was “purposefully hapless” to generate intelligence about the police reaction for the edification of his buddies back in Pakistan. Give me a break. This incompetence is hardly unprecedented. Three years ago Bruce Schneier wrote an art...

As a diehard wait-till-HBO-or-Netflix type, I have seen neither “It’s Complicated” nor “Precious.” But all this talk got me thinking about women and heroism. I constructed my own list of profiles in feminine courage. In reverse order of the date in which they premiered: Sophie Scholl Julia Jentsch in “Sophie Scholl — The Final Days” (2005) gives a brilliant performance in a brilliant film. The name Sophie S...

Trying KSM transparently in New York is just, and doing justice is powerful counterterrorism. The procedural and security fears about it are poorly founded. It’s useful to compare another opinion piece, written with welcome thought and care, but missing a key point about counterterrorism. In “Holder’s al Qaeda Incentive Plan,” Wall Street Journal “Main Street” columnist William McGurn assesses the incentive structure ter...

Reactions generally consist of pundits pouring their preconceptions over what is known of the facts. These are the least worthy of our time, and rejoinders like this one from Stephen M. Walt of Harvard University in the Fort Hood section of The Politico’s Arena blog dispense with them well: Of course [Fort Hood] is being politicized; there is no issue that is immune to exploitation by politicians and media commentators. The problem is that there are an infinite number of “lessons” one can draw from a tragic event like this — the strain on our troops from a foolish war, the impact of hateful ideas from the fringe of a great religion...

(Subscribe on their home page by scrolling down to find the “Subscribe to E-mail Updates:” box in the right column, then select your preferences.) Yesterday DHS sent me a copy of the written testimony by Michael E. Leiter, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, for a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing titled: “Eight Years After 9/11: Confronting the Terrorist Threat to the Homeland.” As I read Leiter’s (relatively brief) testimony, I wondered how well it squares with the strategic counsel offered by Audrey Kurth Cronin, Professor of Strategy at the U.S. National War College, Senior Research Associate in the Changing Charact...

Like Blackbird, “Moon River” is covered so often on YouTube that one must check back now and then. Among the new performers are a singer from Romania, a couple from Italy and the first little girl I’ve ever thought skilled enough to feature here. Also a singer/guitarist who’s quite good, but he appears to be performing on a stage set for The Importance of Being Earnest or maybe Arsenic and Old Lace. Ah, the joys of being a folksinger on the college circuit! At least he was paid. Probably.

It seems the entire world loves this simple, beautiful song. But try finding a cover that does justice to the original, which was written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer for Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. By her own admission, Hepburn could not carry a tune, so she performed “Moon River” in a breathy, conversational style. Even so, songwriter Mercer considered Hepburn’s version to be the definitive one amid dozens of hits by the biggest names in show business. Many of the video tributes to Hepburn, who died of cancer on January 20, 1993, play “Moon River” over images from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But in her personal life the actress had little in common with the troubled call girl crea...
