Losing connectivity...

DATELINE: DC, 21 July 2006


Spent yesterday getting from Nevada to Baltimore. A real disaster to complete a disastrous week. Suffice it to say it's 2330 when I'm sipping a martini with Steve in DC.


Spent the time writing.


Looks like I'll have short piece in October Esquire on the Middle East, but--as always--it will look ahead more than behind. Talking now about something for the end of the year as well. Good to feel, since it was getting to be a while since my last appearance (March).


Today is easy day. Quick trip to Langley to visit the National Intelligence Council. I have an old friend there who's now the vice chair. Want him to meet Steve given Enterra's growing profile in the Intell Community.


This weekend is the Enterra summer party at Steve's. With my phone screwing up, I will be effectively out of pocket.

Just found your blog through Amazon.com, Tom. You are one of the giants in my life, and I am so grateful for your insights and connectivity.

Blessings and joys to you and your family in new ventures and adventures!

If Hezbollah is backed by Iran, Iran wants Isreali of off the map, is this not the perfect conflict for Iran?
