2005.09.03 -- PEGC Extra ======================== I have filed a statement with the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in regard to the nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court and several proposals pending in the committee in regard to detainee policies. The statement consists of a cover letter and five exhibits which include my initial analysis of the PMO from 2001, my amicus briefs, and the Commentary on Hamdan v. Rumsfeld that I just completed. There are two versions available on the web site: full text and an abbreviated version that just has the cover letter and Commentary on Hamdan v. Rumsfeld. So I mentioned asking for some help... Well here is my first request: PLEASE READ THIS and, if having read it you are so inclined, please DISTRIBUTE IT as widely as possible.

Rumsfeld only: http://pegc.no-ip.info/archive/letters/Jcom_stmt_commentary.pdf * I'm also thinking very seriously of submitting the Hamdan Commentary (or an expanded version) to a Law Review for publication. If anyone might be interested in co-authoring or mentoring such an article, get in touch.
