The current Atlantic Monthly has a piece entitled "Big Brother is Listening" by James Bamford about GWB's wiretapping. Nothing earth- shattering and I don't think reading it will change hearts/minds on either side, but interesting numbers to contemplate when you're trying to decide how you feel about this issue.

The current Foreign Affairs, especially Paul Pillar's "Unheeded Intelligence" and a very interesting brief piece by Daniel Byman entitled "Do Targeted Killings Work?" Also important pieces on Sino-Japan relations and the independence movement in Taiwan.

These should be read by serious conservatives and liberals alike (as should National Review, The New Yorker, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal) on a regular basis.

Oh, and George Bush supporters, I'm sure there's a good article on American Idol in People magazine this week.
