  • Iraq: Options for U.S
    THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE POLICY FOCUS IRAQ: OPTIONS FOR U.S. POLICY LAURIE MYLROIE RESEARCH MEMORANDUM NUMBER TWENTY-ONE MAY 1993 Cover and title page illustrations from windows of the tom Bi-AmnW Mosque. 990-1013 THE AUTHOR Laurie Mylroie is Arab Affairs Fellow at The Washington Institute. She has previously taught in the Department of Government at Harvard University and at the U.S. Naval War College. Among Dr. Mylroie's many published works on Iraq are Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf (with Judith Miller), and The Future of Iraq (Washington Institute Policy Paper Number 24). The views expressed in this Policy Focus are those of the author and should not necessarily be construed as representing those of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, its Board of Trustees, or its Board of Advisors. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Clinton administration inherited a flawed Iraq policy from the Bush administration, but, in formulating a new policy, it has failed to accurately define those flaws. Its emphasis on "depersonalizing" the conflict with Iraq by shifting the focus from Saddam Hussein to Baghdad's compliance with relevant UN resolutions may mean that the Clinton administration will eventually, if reluctantly, come to terms with Saddam's dogged hold on power and accept a diluted form of Iraqi compliance with the resolutions. Although that may be far from the administration's intent, the present formulation of U.S. policy may weaken the coalition and lead to that result nonetheless. The Clinton administration has stated that it will enforce all UN resolutions, including Resolution 687, which, inter alia, provides for stripping Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, and Resolution 688, which demands that Baghdad cease to repress its population.

  • Saddam Hussein: Master Air Strategist
    J Course II National War College Saddam Hussein: Master Air Strategist Charles J. Dunlap, Jr., Lt Col, USAF Seminar L 8 November 1991 L'.':''- .... ~':.~ :':' ~ '~ "i~':'-~'a!"~ "% SPEC~AS :~..~.~,..:_~:.,~.'-"': " :"' ....~ ~ONS' As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man. 1 want you to know that. General H. Norman Schwarzkopf l One may know how to win, but cannot necessarily do so. Sun Tzu 2 Fashionable thinking characterizes Saddam Hussein as the "antithesis of a strategist."3 But, as Sun Tzu suggests, it is precipitous to draw conclusions about the caliber of a strategist simply because he did not prevail in a given contest. Much of the credit for Hussein's failure to prevail is attributed to the air campaign. What was Hussein's strategy to deal with over 2,600 Coalition aircraft arrayed against his force of just 750 planes? 4 Obviously, a definitive statement of Hussein's strategic plan is not available, and one might never be obtainable. 5 Nonetheless, sufficient evidence exists to conclude that Hussein had a strategy, and one that was well-conceived given his situation. Moreover, his strategy was consonant with much of the thinking espoused by Sun Tzu, one of history's greatest theorists of military strategy. Of particular importance to U.S. planners is that Hussein's strategy was designed to employ American air power to achieve his objectives.

  • Public Notice-Overview
    Legislative Briefing Fallen Journalists Memorial Updated March 9, 2020 Background: Violence against journalists alarmed our industry on June 28, 2018, when a gunman entered the Capital- Gazette in Annapolis, MD, and shot dead four veteran journalists and a sales associate. It was the most deadly and notorious assault on an American journalist on US soil since the on-air shooting of a Roanoke, VA, TV broadcaster in 2015. Journalists at risk abroad as they cover armed conflict have been a part of America’s story for centuries. But threats to journalists are regrettably common in large media markets and even America’s hometowns. With the domestic risk suddenly brought home by the Annapolis shootings, the call to memorialize the sacrifices of those who gave their lives to inform readers and viewers has grown. Prominent journalists ranging World War II’s Ernie Pyle to Michael Kelly of the Washington Post and Daniel Pearl of the Wall Street Journal are known to historians, but the hundred or more Civil War correspondents and photographers who lost their lives are memorialized only in a monument in remote regions of the Catoctin Mountains. And an interactive exhibit of journalist fatalities that was part of the Newseum was taken down when that museum closed in January 2020. No national memorial recognizes all of these sacrifices given in the name of the First Amendment and the need for an informed public. In June 2019, the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation announced it would begin working with Congress and the National Park Service to identify a location for a privately-funded memorial.

HOLLYWOOD AND JOURNALISTIC TRUTHTELLING MATTHEW C. EHRLICH* Movies are useful tools for thinking about professional behavior and ethics. For example, films about lawyers can "raise questions about the proper and possible role of law in society"1 while reflecting "powerful myths that influence our reactions to issues we meet in real life, including legal issues."2 The same applies to journalism. Media ethics professor Lee Wilkins notes that 'journalists are often called upon to make decisions based on a morally mature interpretation of principles rather than any specific code of conduct," and she says film gives dramatic life to struggles over those principles.' This article will look at what has been called the paramount principle of journalism-truthtelling-as it is depicted in a movie about a notorious real-life case of journalistic deception. Shattered Glass4 is the story of Stephen Glass, who in 1998 was fired for fabricating more than two dozen stories for the New Republic magazine.

  • SHATTERED GLASS Coming to Theaters November 2003
    SHATTERED GLASS Coming to Theaters November 2003 www.shatteredglassmovie.com Dear Educator: By the mid-1990’s, a series of highly acclaimed articles in The New Republic had made a likeable young staff writer named Stephen Glass one of America’s hottest journalists. Soon he was reeling in freelance assignments from such high-profile publications as Harper’s, George, and Rolling Stone. But in 1998, a strange turn of events sent Glass’ world crashing down around him when it became evident that many of his articles had been nothing more than figments of his own fertile imagination. Shattered Glass, a new film from Lions Gate Films, recreates the saga of Stephen Glass and his decep- tions, casting a bright spotlight on questions about the integrity of American journalism that still remain open for debate today. Written and directed by Billy Ray and starring Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, Hank Azaria, Chloe Sevigny, Melanie Lynskey, Steve Zahn, and Rosario Dawson, Shattered Glass is scheduled to arrive in theaters November 2003. To help you bring the lessons of this powerful film into your classroom, we are pleased to provide this free study guide for Shattered Glass, developed in cooperation with Lions Gate Films and Yahoo! Search. The guide is designed for use with college and high school students as a supplement to courses in journalism, communications, civics, social studies, and tech- nology, offering activities that lay the groundwork for informed viewing when students see the film in theaters and for exploring critical issues through follow-up discussion in class. We encourage you to share this study guide with other faculty members at your school.
