Anthony Cordesman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony Cordesman holds the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, specializing in energy issues, the Middle East and North Africa, defense policy, and terrorism and transnational threats. Cordesman also serves as a national security analyst for ABC News.
Previously, Cordesman served as national security assistant to Senator John McCain of the Senate Armed Services Committee and in a variety of high level posts within the US Department of Defense, which earned him the Department of Defense's Distinguished Service medal. Cordesman has also been a professor in national security studies at Georgetown University and a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars at the Smithsonian. His publications have dealt with a variety of topics, such as energy and defense policy, the lessons of modern war, and threats posed to vital infrastructure by terrorism. He has been featured on a variety of media outlets such as National Public Radio and the Financial Times, due particularly to his expertise concerning the Middle East.
Among his controversial stands, Cordesman challenged a study in The Lancet, a British medical journal, which concluded in 2006 that 600,000 Iraqis had been killed in the war. "They're almost certainly way too high," said Cordesman, who added that the study was published to affect the upcoming midterm elections.[1] Cordesman has yet to offer any scientific critique of the peer-reviewed study in the Lancet, and instead relies on an appeal to other authorities: "These [Lancet] results describe a state of violence so different from that reported by the MNF-I and reporters on the scene that either this one study is right or MNF-I, the Iraqi government, and every reporter actually in Iraq is radically wrong."[2]
