NIMJ issues first pamphlet in Volume 2 of its Military Commission Reporter
We previously discussed NIMJ’s Military Commission Reporter, which is an indispensable asset to both practitioners in the military commission system and those who study it. NIMJ has now released the first e-pamphlet in Volume 2 of the Reporter, available here.
Speaking of military commissions, did everyone see our friend Mr. Davis’ blog post cited in the article about death threats against Library of Congress staff hosting the Lyndie England book party? Apparently he now works for the Library of Congress. Is it just me or does that seem like an odd career move, chief prosecutor to librarian/agency counsel?
No Man, my understanding is that Mr. Davis is in a leadership position at LOC. And LOC does amazing work — consider, for example, the analytic masterpieces by Louis Fisher. So it seems like a healthy career progression.
For those interested, Mr. Davis’s blog post to which the No Man refers is available here: http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2009/08/torture-at-the-library-of-cong/
Does anyone know what went on at that Book “Review?”
I heard via hearsay that she’s claiming to be a PTSD victim . . . .
She very well may be, but somehow unless she’s now going to seek IAC, how is that a defense?
The presentation was apparently cancelled.

CAAFlog:
By odd I didn’t mean it was a demotion or anything . . . an odd way to construe my use of odd. Ok the librarian wisecrack may have thrown people off.
I was trying to say, and should have used these words, that he went from a full time litigator in high stakes military commissions to essentially an in house counsel for the world’s largest library.
