Of course I forgot the Lynne Stewart case in my attempt to chronicle the decline of such liberal traditions as exist in the US. Here’s a piece on it by David Cole of the Nation. It’s not the most solidaristic piece, but it’s got info.
And another decent piece about the turns the Ward Churchill attacks are taking by Lyons.
I will try to get to the Chavez-Uribe meeting that happened on the 15th and some Nepal stuff tomorrow.
