Former Intel Officers Assess the Leaked Iran Strike Assessment. Plus, How Qatari Cash Influences Georgetown.

Top-secret toilet paper: The now-infamous Defense Intelligence Agency assessment that cast doubt on the success of Donald Trump's strikes on Iran relied on intercepted communications to do so, CNN reported on Tuesday. One day later, an Axios report cited an Israeli official who revealed "that intercepted communications suggest Iranian military officials have been giving false situation reports to the country's political leadership—downplaying the extent of the damage." Could those communications have made their way into the DIA assessment? It's likely, according to former intelligence officials.

Legally Insane

If you thought law students hijacking classes for inane exercises in "naming the violence" was bad, just wait. While my law school experience did not involve scandals of national interest, it was punctuated by students attempting to do anything—lecture, agitate, yell—except learn from others.

I Saw How Georgetown’s Prestigious School of Foreign Service Coddles Violent Anti-Semites—Who Are Plotting to Transform US Policy From Within

Georgetown University sits on a hilltop above the Potomac. Its flagship school, the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, trains America’s future diplomats, senior military officers, and intelligence operatives. Its graduates include Bill Clinton and a long list of senators, ambassadors, a CIA director, two White House chiefs of staff, the king of Spain, and various heads of state.

The school also grants degrees to foreign students. I enrolled in its master’s degree program after spending years as a Swedish military officer and diplomat. I was interested in making a career transition from my country’s armed forces, where I’d spent nearly a decade, to diplomatic service. I’d done two tours in Afghanistan, three in Africa and some diplomatic and commercial work in the Persian Gulf. I wanted to study at one of the world’s premier schools of diplomacy. What I found at Georgetown was far from what I had expected.
