HUMAN TERRAIN Trailer

I took Michael Bhatia's class on the causes of war at Carleton in 2006. He was a really interesting guy. I had no idea he was killed until I saw this trailer.

I saw the file this weekend and it highlighted many of the gotchas with HTT's.

It's an interesting film, but from this trailer, it looks like they are sensationalizing it and downplaying the positive impact that HTS has had in both Iraq and Afghanistan. My own criticism is that HTS is useful, but is a band-aid unless they concentrate efforts on direct dialog and negotiation with the Taliban. Something the Karzai administration is very keen on but that both the Bush and Obama adiministration's are resisting.
