I am the Executive Director (and Professor) of the Middlebury Institute's Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism. I am sanctioned by Vladimir Putin and once headed up the State Department's counterterrorism sanctions office.
My latest for @latimes.com. Simply put, Trump’s recent order on domestic terrorism is more about politics than national security. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Very excited to be working with @universitypress.cambridge.org on this forthcoming book, Terror Disrupted, which examines, amongst other things, countering the financing of groups like ISIS, al-Qa'ida, and the extreme far right. Preorder:

State Dept FTO actions on #Mexicandrugcartels as terrorists pre-published in the FRN (attached). MS-13 and TdA also listed as FTOs. Very interesting on MS-13 given it was founded in the US and State Dept hasn't designated a group with such a clear US nexus before.

Did you forget that #Valentine's Day gift for that loved one? It still isn't too late for your mea culpa. Look no further than this book on #finance and #crime! Nothing says love better, right? Use the check out code: SPG25 to save bundles! www.rienner.com/title/The_Me...
