...songs of her own. And in the midst of all this grown-up humor, the cast genuinely looks and sounds like a gaggle of ten-year-olds. Technically, the production is as colorful and understated as the actors’ performances. Lighting plays an ingenious dramatic role and is crucial to the play’s finale. The aesthetic choices, from Lucy’s blackboard to Snoopy’s doghouse, form colorful geometric patterns, which are only enhanced by the set’s dark backgrounds. There are serious flaws, including a pit band that drowns out much...

Regardless of what the prevailing interpretations of the Hamdan decision are, the government would do well to read the tea leaves and begin envisioning a world in which officials will be forced by a future ruling similar to Hamdan to gather crucial intelligence while conforming to Geneva. Gitmo has always been a laboratory for the Bush Administration's edgiest ideas about how to fight the war on terrorism.
