    Habeas Schmabeas

    While I'm handing out links, check out the "Habeas Schmabeas" episode of NPR's This American Life. This one has been mentioned before (by others), but it's worth repeating. The first-hand accounts of experiences in Guantanamo Bay are so horrific and gut-wrenching that I was filled with a deep feeling of shame and sadness.
