Alias Clio: Interesting, sympathetic critique of La Camille (Paglia)… and the sex zone vs. the drink zone.

Balkinization: What Marty Lederman calls “A Most Important Development on CIA Interrogation, Electronic Surveillance, and Congressional Oversight“–I’m posting this so I can come back to it later for something I’m working on.
