POPSNew Yorker article on anthropology and GWOT This one of the articles where Clipmarks implodes--big paragraphs. Anyway interesting article on an anthropologist working in the State Department counterterrorism department. Some good, maybe commonsense, observations and a few creepy bits, e.g. "Cultural Operations Research Human Terrain." Worth reading in full.

POPSIslamic Society of North America elects its first female president An interesting story. The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) has elected Ingrid Mattson, a white Western convert, as president. Mattson is the first woman and the first convert to head the organization. Her election was virtually unopposed. ISNA is the largest umbrella group of Muslims in North America. Her political views seem quite open and basically liberal, judging from the article.
