Gallery for "DIRTY WARS" audio

On April 26th, 2007, PEN American Center and the ACLU co-sponsored "Dirty Wars," an evening of readings at Joe's Pub during the PEN World Voices Festival. We've posted them in our gallery space.

Actors Daoud Heidami (left) and Daniel Oreskes and author Mark Danner reenacted the Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRT) of one of Guantánamo's "high-value" detainees, Mustafa Ait Idr. Francine Prose, President of PEN American Center, read from emails released to the ACLU under the Freedom of Information Act, containing correspondence from FBI agents visiting the prison at Guántanamo Bay.

The full set of readings are available as mp3 or podcasts on the following websites:

C-17, Camp Delta and a visit from Gandhi

Thanks to Cinco Pizzicato and Fleef Fimicoloud aka machinima genius Frank Fox (FlingFilms.com), some crucial elements have been added to the build. Cinco built a C-17 Transport Plane to house the interior of the plane built by Buhbuhcuh Fairchild. Fleef created the prototype for Camp Delta and Saliant Infinity aka Matt Lee has given it shape and script. Cinco also brought Gandhi to the Camp X-Ray as part of Joseph DeLappe's performance piece as shown:
