Informed Dissent: One Blogger's Critique of the Afghan War - New York Times book review by C.J. Chivers. Review of Joshua Foust's Afghanistan Journal: Selections From Registan.net. BLUF: "Mr. Foust, though he has softened his language and tone lately, often does not play nice. Few are spared in these pages - generals, diplomats, think-tankers, authors and journalists all suffer Mr. Foust's sting. This wide target selection fits a binding theme. In his assessment, the problems facing the United States in Afghanistan effort are not just grand in scale and complexity, but also, more worriedly, largely misunderstood by those guiding Afghanistan and the West through the war."
