Guantanamo Bay Articles - the International Justice Project

A site that I built and continue to maintain has just developed a new page with articles on issues with Guantanamo Bay. It's quite informative and will continue to be updated. The IJP really is becoming an incredible resource for information on Death Penalty issues. Check it out:

Perfect Bush rebuttal

"I never said anything about Nuclear capabilities--I said Nukular. Everybody knows there ain't no such thing as Nukular weapons!"

Cold Soups to Counteract Summer Swelter (washingtonpost.com)

I was with my wife in NYC a couple of weeks ago. We visited a restaurant called Cookies and Couscous near the Washington Square/NYU area. There was no doubt that we would eat there when she saw they had cold soups. Everything we ate was divine and the chef/owner was a trip. He not only pontificated on the African wine we were considering, but also let us sample it before buying a bottle. Check it out sometime.

Here's an article with some recipes for cold soups:

Book Swap - Neat Idea

American University, the school where I work, is hosting a book swap. This is such a cool idea:

"Bring up to 10 books (fiction, non-fiction, biographies, travel, children’s books) in good condition, paperback or hard cover (no textbooks/no magazines), to the lobby of Bender between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. the morning of the Swap. Come back between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and take away the same number of books you brought. No monies will be exchanged."

"Also, if you are interested in being a “book buddy” to the person who chooses to read your book, put a note at the front of the book with your contact information so that after the book has been read, you might discuss it. "

"Books left over will be donated to the University Library"

Imagine if this was a music swap. . .the RIAA would go nuts!! OK, fine--not really. Exchanging original, bought copies of music recordings is neither illegal nor unscrupulous, but somehow it seems that a community based sharing system like this is exactly what the copyrighted industries wish to prevent. Alright, maybe not--but still. . .they suck anyway. . .for all sorts of reasons. . .
