On GPS, at 10am & 1pm ET Sunday on @CNN

Introd: Liberalism in the world is loosing energy

• The week began with Pres. Trump telling reporters: “Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine.” As Trump takes a friendlier tone toward Russia & appears increasingly willing to abandon Ukraine, I’ll get a European perspective on all this from Polish Deputy Prime Minister & Foreign Minister @sikorskiradek
• As the Nov. 3 US midterm elections approach, Democratic optimism is surging. Is it backed by reliable polling? I’ll ask the statistician & election forecaster @NateSilver538
• Israel will vote Tuesday in its first election since the Oct. 7 attacks. I’ll talk with @RAND Distinguished Chair for Israel Policy @ShiraEfron about Prime Minister Netanyahu’s competition & whether the vote could change Israel’s policy toward Palestinians in Gaza & the West Bank
• Finally: I’ll talk with @Gladwell about his new book on gun violence, “The American Way of Killing,” why he believes under-policing is a major problem & why he thinks assault-weapons bans don’t work

A Philosopher of War Changes His Mind

Michael Walzer wrote “Just and Unjust Wars” half a century ago. The war in Gaza made him rethink one of its fundamental principles.

 
I first met Michael Walzer about a decade ago. I was a nobody graduate student from Catalonia, finishing my dissertation. Walzer was a professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, and the former co-editor of the left-wing magazine Dissent, but he was most interesting to me as a philosopher—and, especially, as the author of “Just and Unjust Wars,” an attempt to delineate the rights and wrongs of warfare in both its causes and its conduct. In the nearly fifty years since it was published, no other book on the subject has matched its influence. I e-mailed him out of the blue, eager to discuss its ideas, and he invited me to his office. We talked about philosophy and politics on a walk in some nearby woods.

Counting the Dead in the Fog of War (Paul Poast, WPR)

Image generated by Gemini (AI)

When The Washington Post reported in mid-September that the Pentagon had been intentionally undercounting the number of U.S. military personnel killed in the Iran war, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had a familiar response: denial.

“This is DISGUSTING and FAKE. A complete LIE,” he posted to X, referring to the Post’s reporting. But weeks later, the department’s casualty count was revised up, from 18 to 21. Notably, this followed an episode over the summer, in which the death toll had been lowered from 18 to 14, before being raised again. The New York Times subsequently reported that the Pentagon had begun using a new method of tallying its soldiers who were killed or wounded in action. According to an unnamed U.S. official cited by The Intercept, this was “designed to obscure the count.”

The idea that officials would intentionally avoid disclosing the deaths of U.S. military personnel is surprising. Someone—the families of the deceased, or a whistleblower—would be bound to speak out or go to the press, which is of course what happened here. It is also possible that the undercount was simply due to a clerical error.
