I’m going to Jamaica for a week, for some hiking, snorkeling, and horticultural research. But the Defense Tech HQ won’t be closed while I’m away. Instead, the supremely qualified Dr. Jeffrey Lewis will be at the helm.
Jeffrey is a Research Fellow at the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland. He lectures around the world on defense issues. And for years, he’s been the guy you turn to, for the nitty-gritty on the Pentagon’s programs for combat and surveillance in space. Only folks on Rummy’s payroll get deeper into the Defense Department’s ledgers.
Jeffrey is also a hell of a writer, contributing to Defense News, Arms Control Today, and other security-minded publications. His breezy, catty blog, Arms Control Wonk, is on my daily must-read list. I steal from him as often as I can.
Jeffrey will be taking your tips, comments, and profanity-laden insults at defense AT defensetech DOT org. Please, make him feel at home.
YOUR NEW FRIEND JEFFREY |
