Correction
The report mentioned in the NY Times article refers to Necessary Steps for a Responsible Withdrawal from Iraq, and not "Re-Envisioning Defense." I have updated the rest of the announcement. Please forgive the mistake. The original is in the extended entry for clarity.

Project On Defense Alternatives produced as Task Force report called The Necessary Steps for a Responsible Withdrawal from Iraq. On June 7, the report received some positive corporate media attention with an editorial in the NY Times "Where Do We Go From Here?.

In a correspondence from Carl Conetta, I learned that the report has been downloaded more than 10,000 times, and is being circulated to members of Congress with a cover letter by Rep. Jim
McGovern. Members of the task force (Task Force for Responsible Withdrawal from Iraq) have also been invited to debate alternative Iraq policies at the US Institute for Peace. It is great that such worthy work is getting serious attention.
