James Joyner | Friday, January 23, 2009 |
In my New Atlanticist post “Ceasefire with al Qaeda?” I examine a proposal for a four-month ceasefire with al Qaeda proposed by a prominent Islamist in reaction to President Obama’s orders to end torture, close secret prisons, and shutter Guantanamo.
Not to spoil it for you, but I’m skeptical.
