I am reliably informed (having checked the site) that Detention and Denial: The Case for Candor After Guantanamo is now available from Amazon.com--which presumably means it is available at other book stores as well. I will post a few excerpts over the next few days--the first one later today--to tantalize you. The book makes the ideal gift for that hard-to-please someone who just happens to be obsessed with U.S. detention policy and the failures of the U.S.

I am reliably informed (having checked the site) that Detention and Denial: The Case for Candor After Guantanamo is now available from Amazon.com--which presumably means it is available at other book stores as well. I will post a few excerpts over the next few days--the first one later today--to tantalize you. The book makes the ideal gift for that hard-to-please someone who just happens to be obsessed with U.S. detention policy and the failures of the U.S. political system to face hard problems squarely. It is very brief, non-technical, and attempts to distill the big themes from work I have done over the past few years on the subject. So buy it, read it, and send me your thoughts. I'm very interested to hear them.
