Posted by The National Security Network
See today's complete daily update here.
What We’re Reading
The U.K. ended combat operations in Iraq, handing control over to local forces a month ahead of schedule. Britain will send an additional 700 troops to Afghanistan, but they must be withdrawn by 2010.
Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, an al Qaeda suspect being tried in federal court, may plead guilty to a charge of conspiring with al Qaeda as early as today.
Attorney General Eric J. Holder indicated that European nations are willing to resettle some Guantanamo detainees.
Russia signed a border protection deal with the two Georgian separatist regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Commentary of the Day
Joseph Margulies, co-counsel for Abu Zubaydah, describes Zubaydah’s mental and physical suffering as a result of CIA interrogation tactics, and discusses his status within al Qaeda.
David Ignatius interviewed National Security Adviser Gen. Jim Jones on how he’s running the NSC and the Administration’s toughest foreign policy challenges.
Julia E. Sweig argues for giving Guantanamo back to Cuba.
The withdrawal of the troops is good news, but an unfortunate impact of the UK's withdrawal from Iraq is the firing of 500 BAE (Britain's largest combat vehicle and weapon company) employees, according to http://www.newsy.com/videos/uk_ends_combat_ops_in_iraq/. Peace is what we hope for, but even it has consequences.

Congress should create an independent blue-ribbon panel or similar body to investigate a host of previously unreviewable activities of the Bush administration, including its detention, interrogation and surveillance programs. Only by chronicling and confronting the past in a comprehensive, bipartisan fashion can we reclaim our moral authority and establish a credible path forward to meet the complex challenges of a post-Sept. 11 world. replica rolex
