LAND HO

By the graciousness of Annenberg, we now have eight acres to call a permanent home. We expect the build to be done this week and can officially host events again.

IML was so kind to give us a rooftop but our growing pains have been alleviated by the extra territory. Expect the Doha (built for the Brookings Institute!!) to become our torture contemplation area.

Mother Jones has an incredible story that is worth reading on the bungling of the way detainees have been handled at Gitmo:
Exclusive: Inside Gitmo with Detainee 061

Also, William Safire has written on the etymology of the term "water boarding."
It seems he might agree with the rest of us that water boarding constitutes torture.
