A blog worth following

[pegkerr]

I am grateful to minnehaha B., who introduced me to Glenn Greenwald's blog. You can pick up the RSS feed by friending unclaim_terr. He is a litigator in NYC specializing in First Amendment challenges (including some of the highest-profile free speech cases over the past few years), civil rights cases, and corporate and security fraud matters. He is about to come out with a book, How Would a Patriot Act? Defending American Values from a President Run Amok. Read the prologue here, and a review here. I have found his blog to be fascinating, with insightful legal analysis of breaking news stories of the day. Highly recommended. I will be reading his book (after minnehaha B. is done with it!)

You have my copy of Kos's book, right?

Yes, I do, and I'm partway through it.

No problem; just trying to remember where it is.

Speaking of politics, I think you may find interesting both the Washington Post's Religious Liberals Gain New Visibility (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/19/AR2006051901813_pf.html) and this post (http://www.firedoglake.com/2006/05/20/a-change-is-gonna-come/) by Christy Hardin Smith at firedoglake. I thought of you particularly while reading the latter.

That was a really excellent post, and it really resonates with my own thinking. Thank you very much for pointing me to it.
