To understand the tragic misunderstandings behind America’s 20-year debacle in #Afghanistan, take a step back from the news and read ⁦⁦⁦Amy Waldman⁩ haunting novel, A Door in the Earth. nytimes.com/2019/08/27/boo…

Worth reading .. I first met Jason Amerine in early 2002; he tells it like it is and has annoyed plenty of senior officers along the way. His full story is part of #Legionofbrothers, streaming on #Hulu and available for rent in the usual places. cnn.com/2021/08/16/opi…

Tragic, and inexcusable. newyorker.com/news/daily-com…

Tahir's family is out of Afghanistan & safe. So relieved. So lucky. More than 300,000 Afghans have been affiliated with the American effort since 2001. What will happen to them after 8/31? newyorker.com/news/daily-com…

I know many of you couldn't miss a chance to tweet out your political takes, but let's not forget 13 families are about to or have already received the worst news of their lives. They've lost a loved one, in a foreign country, and that's just the beginning of their suffering.

One of the most compelling stories I have encountered: students at American University of Afghanistan attacked by the Taliban in 2016 yet still hopeful for their future. Now we have abandoned them. @peterbergen filmed at #AUAF for our 2020 #Showtime documentary #thelongestwar

A review of Detainee 001. One minor detail. Lindh trained in the Arabic speaking camps not Taliban camps and met Bin Laden. spytalk.co/p/the-american…

The real challenge is to understand how we have changed, not necessarily how John Walker Lindh, some kid from Marin County, ends up with the Taliban, but how did we react to that, how does that still affect us today? @showtime #detainee001 vulture.com/2021/09/greg-b…

This is why we make documentaries. Diane Weyermann is - I can't bring myself to write "was" - a true inspiration, nurturing stories that engage and enlighten.

A fictional account of espionage and obsession, based on deeply researched events - I wanted to tell story of whether we can confront our adversaries without destroying our souls. Excited to finally be able to share. #Showtime #GhostsofBeirut deadline.com/2023/04/dina-s…
