nationalsecuritylaw national security law on…Facebook?

For those of you who do not use Facebook, the following may not be of interest. But for those of you who do, you might want to take note of the growing number of national security law-related outlets that have pages providing feeds of their own content, posts from others, and (hopefully increasingly often) comments and debates on the posts.

First, the Journal of National Security Law & Policy has created a page that contains a whole lot of interesting stuff, beyond what appears in the Journal itself:

Second, the blog I’m associated with also has a Facebook page, and not all the content there is just the RSS feed from the blog. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lawfare/111721462217828.

Third, the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at Syracuse has lots of interesting content:

I’m sure there are others, but in any event, consider giving these three a “like” next time you are on Facebook.
