The Complex Terrain Laboratory is being retired.  Mike, Eric, et tout le gang from the Lab, have begun a new project, called Current Intelligence:

is a journal of opinion and analysis. Its editors and writers are preoccupied broadly with culture, politics and current affairs; narrowly with conflict,crisis, and the state of the world “out there”; and laterally with the intellectual concerns of those who research, teach, and write about the issues.

We went live on Monday, 8 March, and we will publish daily, Monday-Friday, with a quarterly print journal as well.  Current Intelligence comes with its own set of sections:

• The Editor’s Desk: daily must-reads
• The Agenda: informed comment on headline issues
• The Big Smoke: reporting on London’s wealth of current affairs talk (starting in May, 2010)
• The Quiet American: analysis of foreign policy, military intervention, human rights & humanitarian affairs
• Letters From Abroad: dispatches from field researchers, expats and other travelers

We can even be found on Twitter.

So, come on over, grab a coffee and read what we’ve got to say.  As for me, I’ll continue to offer my own particular position on issues that require a deeper, historical, long-view of understanding.
