CT Blog to Merge With "Fourth Rail" and Move - New Foundation to Fund Our Efforts
Recently, I've had the pleasure to meet Bill Roggio, editor of "The Fourth Rail" and one of the best military bloggers, and get to know him well. After much discussion, we've decided to merge our resources into a single Counterterrorism Blog. This is an excellent opportunity, and our Contributing Experts greatly look forward to working with Bill at the new Counterterrorism Blog. We will be posting at the new Counterterrorism Blog site full time as of Thursday; the site is being redesigned and will go live at midnight Wednesday night Eastern time (or 12:00 am Thursday morning). We will automatically redirect readers to the new site at that time. All of our current features will be available at the new site, and we expect to add more streaming videos and presentations. The new site will be free of commercial ads.(snip)
