Musings On Iraq In The News


July 1 I was interviewed on BBC Radio 5 on the future of the Islamic State and rebuilding Mosul. I was quoted by Paul Iddon in “Islamic State’s last stand in Iraq: Who will liberate Hawija?” in Rudaw, and mentioned in "Medeniyet mirasi barbarliga kurban" by Detay Haber in Turkey's Karar. I was also cited in The Second Cold War by Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandiera, The Iraqi Federation: Origin, Operation and Significance by Farah Shakir,  "Honesty and Transparency Are Not Enough" by Andrew Gelman In Chance, "Realizing an Opportunity: Limiting the Power of the Executive in the Iraqi Constitution" by Cory Kopitzke in Indiana Journal of Constitutional Design, and "A Pedigree of Terror: The Myth of the Ba'athist Influence in the Islamic State Movement" by Craig Whiteside in Perspectives On Terrorism.
