What We're Reading

David Haight, a top U.S. colonel in Afghanistan, warned that should Hamid Karzai win in next month’s presidential elections, apathy from ordinary Afghans may turn to violence.

Iraq’s Kurdish leaders are pushing ahead with a new constitution for their semiautonomous region, alarming American and Iraqi official who fear for the country’s unity.

North Korea has so far delayed sending two convicted U.S. journalists to a prison labor camp, in a possible scheme to seek talks with the U.S. on their release. Instead, they are being kept in a guest house in Pyongyang.

A new form of the Ebola virus has been discovered in the Philippines. Experts are concerned that it could mutate and pose a new risk to humans.

Al Qaeda’s affiliate in North Africa has carried out a string of killings, bombings and other attacks on Westerners and African security forces in recent weeks, leading counterterrorism officials to speculate that foreign fighters are returning home from the Iraq war with a wider range of bomb-making skills.

Commentary of the Day

Joe Cirincione pushes back against Charles Krauthammer’s Washington Post piece that calls the U.S./Russia nuclear deal “plumage” and asserts that Russia should build more nukes. Cirincione says the “Post's promotion of this fantasy could lead to global disaster.”

Nicholas Bequelin argues that the eruption of ethnic violence in Xinjiang reflects the failure of the Chinese government’s policies towards national minorities.

The LA Times calls the Senate climate-change bill a “test of this country’s commitment to deal with the problem.”

Jon O’Brien says a meeting between Obama and the Pope will be one of symbolism, not substance.

Fred Kaplan writes that Obama’s deal on weapons could win Russia’s cooperation on toughter issues later.
