Fool’s Errand Correction
Gah. There's an error on pages 191–192 in my 2017 book Fool's Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan. A vet just wrote me to point out that I was in fact wrong to say that all 64 people killed in a battle in Kunar Province in February 2011 were "innocent." My citation does not say that. The error is mine, and I don't really know how I could've screwed it up. The story clearly says the governor claimed "16 insurgents, 22 women, and 26 young boys," while ISAF said that 36 were armed fighters...

Absolute Idiot Correction to the new book:
Two different times in Provoked, I "misspoke" and wrote that in 1999 Clinton added Poland, Hungary and Romania to NATO. That is of course stupid and wrong, and I know the right country — the Czech Republic, aka Czechia — and say it right more times than wrong in there. My dumb head I guess is used to saying Poland and Romania together when I talk about Missile Defense and so I just wrote it stupidly wrong like that. Thank you to the nice emailer who pointed this out for me. I will correct the...
