    Back Atcha Y'all: Your Links Compendified

    I took the liberty of patrolling through the comments and tried to extract all of the links that so many of you provided. The resulting post link is at my name.

    I'm also trying to keep a chronologic list of links to GG's General-Gate posts, and the url at which I did that is here:

    http://revolutionredux.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/daily-constitutional-spring-divertissements-torture-illegal-propaganda/

    I'll try to keep it updated as GG adds to his post repertoire on this subject. If you see omissions, errors and have links you'd like added, please comment on the respective blog posts, and I'll update.

    Thank you, one and all.
