Bush?
Maybe some of you have followed this case on a day-to-day basis, but it's new to me, and fascinating!

I've read it, and MargeInnavera has posted links to blogs of the testimony on her blog.

I find that I keep recommending Ariel Levy articles here. I did so even before she joined the NYer staff, so I feel a bit cutting edge, myself!

Ariel Levy's account of her own wedding to her girlfriend was posted on some thread around here somewhere quite some time ago. I think the thread was about gay weddings.

:laugh: I was the one who posted it. The gay weddings thread was created just for it.

Everybody should read Jane Mayer's article, "The Trial: Eric Holder and the Battle over Khalid Sheikh Mohammed," in the Feb. 15 and 22 issue (the annual anniversary issue). Mayer does a wonderful job of laying out the whole sequence of events and the issues involved.

Thanks for the tip, Friend!
You know, this thread is a great service to New Yorker subscribers. Who has time to read all of the articles -- or even most, or even (some weeks) any? And frankly, some weeks there isn't much in the table of contents that excites me. Yet there are so many wonderful pieces, I never want to risk missing anything really good.
