Taxi to the Dark Side: Bagram Abuses (finally) Explored

The Huffington Post (click on the title of this post to go there) is reporting on a sneak preview of the new documentary Taxi to the Dark Side, which focuses on the abuse and murder of two detainees at the U.S. military-run Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. I write about Bagram in my book, so it's gratifying to hear that someone has continued to press for more information on the incidents that took place there, which are too often overshadowed by the Abu Ghraib scandal.

Good War in Wash Post, Subliminally

I got this email this morning from Peter Manseau ed. of Killing the Buddha (www.killingthebuddha.com):

Hi Dave --

I just spotted this and thought you'd get a kick out of it: a Home
section feature by Sally Quinn, wife of former Post editor Ben
Bradlee, about how to decorate. There's an interactive image of her
library, and sure enough A Good War is Hard to Find is there on the
coffee table:

I could spot that cover a mile away!

Hope this finds you well,
Peter
