CSIS used to be a second-tier Republican/conservative thinktank, with some decent wonks and a bunch of ex-official types. In recent years it's undergone some changes and is trying to move up in the standings, and has also lost a lot of its ideological coloring. At this point, I'd say it's still behind someplace like Brookings in average quality, but that a number of its individual people are quite good. Don't know this Stanton Burnett guy, so I can't comment on him in particular. As for the Washington Quarterly, it's sort of a repository for wonky articles that can't make it into Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, the National Interest, Survival, and places like that. Sometimes the material is decent, but rarely do they publish the best stuff of top people (more often it's the top people's lesser stuff, or the best stuff of not-so-top people). The journal has no particular ideological spin. tb@straighttalkexpress.com PS you had expressed interest in that debate on Iraq between Boot & Kristol and Mearsheimer & Walt; here's a transcript: cfr.org
