Whatever the defense strategy, the trial is likely to be good theater. Genson and Fitzgerald have already been trading jabs in the legal back-and-forth during the impeachment proceedings and in the run-up to the indictment. They are playing to an audience that extends far beyond a potential jury pool, says Jack Doppelt, a lawyer, investigative journalist and professor at Northwestern University. All the talk of prosecution and defense what-ifs has an effect on constituents, who in turn talk to their political representatives, who can put pressure on other public officials. And all the talk...
...Thank You. I am a movie snob and very critical of everything I see, but I thought Speed Racer was simply brilliant entertainment from top to bottom. It's been at least a decade since I've seen a movie more than once in the theater, but I saw Speed Racer three times.

The new facility, expected to cost at least $60 million, is slated to hold 600 detainees under normal circumstances, with a capacity of 1,100 in emergency conditions. It will be tucked into a remote 40-acre location...
...Given the ongoing war, there is every reason to believe that our military mission in Afghanistan would be compromised if the writ is extended to Bagram," the government said in its court filing. "To provide alien enemy combatants detained in a theater of war the privilege of access to our civil courts is unthinkable both legally and practically." But Foster, one of the lawyers representing al-Najar, sees the case from another angle. "Does Obama," she asks, "really want to have Bagram be his Guantánamo for the next four years...
