"U.S. Policy Toward Countering al-Qaeda 2.0"
Op-Ed, Washington Post
By David Ignatius, Senior Fellow, Future of Diplomacy Project
"The Obama administration is working with its allies to frame a strategy to combat what might be called 'al-Qaeda 2.0' — an evolving, morphing terrorist threat that lacks a coherent center but is causing growing trouble in chaotic, poorly governed areas such as Libya, Yemen, Syria and Mali," writes David Ignatius.

"It's a Close Call on Susan Rice"
Op-Ed, Washington Post
By David Ignatius, Senior Fellow, Future of Diplomacy Project
David Ignatius, an award winning journalist with the Washington Post and Belfer Center senior fellows writes that the current "Republican assault on Susan Rice is a fabricated scandal, attacking her for repeating CIA talking points, almost verbatim, to explain the Benghazi attacks. [However] the U.N. ambassador’s version, even with its omissions, may turn out to be closer to the truth than some of the inflammatory GOP rhetoric."

"The Post-Petraeus Era"
Op-Ed, Washington Post
By David Ignatius, Senior Fellow, Future of Diplomacy Project
"So it turns out that the top brass at the CIA had an inbox of secrets of the all-too-human, sexual variety. Titillating, unquestionably. But what about the other secrets – the intelligence secrets that are the agency’s reason for existence? How are they doing on this score? When the uproar passes over the personal misjudgements of Gen. David Petraeus, the country will be left with this question of intelligence goals and missions. And here’s where an overlooked problem of the Petraeus era should be fixed," writes David Ignatius in the Washington Post.

"Lingering Questions About Benghazi"
Op-Ed, Washington Post
By David Ignatius, Senior Fellow, Future of Diplomacy Project
"The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi has become a political football in the presidential campaign, with all the grandstanding and misinformation that entails. But Fox News has raised some questions about the attack that deserve a clearer answer from the Obama administration," writes David Ignatius of the Washington Post.
