Old Faces at ForeignPolicy.com

Foreign Policy, the international affairs magazine acquired by The Washington Post in October, is rebooting its online presence with a host of new features. Our favorite is one called "Shadow Government: Notes From the Loyal Opposition."

It's a daily group blog, founded and edited by Foreign Policy senior editor Christian Brose, a former Condoleezza Rice speechwriter, on which former high-profile conservative foreign policy types assess the new administration's international strategy. The group will include former 9/11 Commission executive director Philip Zelikow; ex-senior White House aide Peter Feaver; top Pentagon official Dov Zakheim; Steve Biegun, a foreign policy adviser to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign; Mitchell Reiss, former secretary of state Colin Powell's policy planning chief; former Dick Cheney aide Aaron Friedberg; and other top Bush administration aides soon to exit government.

It's the old team regrouping at ForeignPolicy.com to smack around the new team or, more elegantly, to provide an intellectual assessment of the Obama foreign policy.

There's also "The Best Defense," which is our former colleague Tom Ricks's daily take on national security. Ricks, the best-selling author of "Fiasco," an extraordinary look at the Bush administration's war in Iraq, will write a daily blog that examines the fallout from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and contemplates the conflicts of the future.

A must-read site for the foreign policy set.
