...most Harvard students didn’t notice, let alone vote. We just don’t seem to want to engage with the Cambridge community, and one alum, identity unknown, has decided to fight the problem using Doordropped’s favorite weapon: the press. Namely, the covert paperboy (or girl!) has been buying up hundreds of copies of Cambridge Chronicle, a weekly community newspaper, and delivering them to all Harvard dorms. The first time the paper appeared in our quarters, the stacks were accompanied by a short note promising students free copies until the end of the school...
Counterterrorism sources have confirmed to TIME that the CIA has had covert detention centers in Thailand and Guantánamo Bay, which are no longer operating, and that the agency continues to run similar facilities in Afghanistan and Eastern Europe.

...deft maneuvering for which he earned a reputation. On Friday, Libby stepped down as chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney after being indicted on five counts of perjury, making false statements and obstruction of justice in connection with the investigation into the leak of the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame. Though he has been one of the most influential behind-the-scenes operatives in Washington, Libby remains unknown to many Americans. Just...
