A couple of weeks ago, Judy Miller made a passing reference to “a ‘Lessons Learned’ paper for an arms-control newsletter” written by Ambassador Donald Mahley, Senior WMD Representative in Libya.
I was like, what Lessons Learned paper? So was Kerr. Turns out, Mahley penned an article for The Arena, a publication of the now defunct Chemical and Biological Arms Control Institute (CBACI, what is that, See-back-ee?).
Anyway, here is the full text of Donald Mahley, “Dismantling Libyan Weapons: Lessons Learned,” Arena 10 (November 2004).
