An Exciting Announcement

I'm stoked to announce an exciting change in Lawfare's staffing. Wells Bennett, who has long been a Contributor to the site, is becoming a Special Correspondent, having left his law firm to devote himself full time to blogging and to a book he his planning on military commissions and the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Wells will be taking the lead on our military commissions coverage as both the Al Nashiri and 9/11 cases heat up. His availability will also greatly expand Lawfare's ability to cover other hearings--as it did today when Wells covered the D.C. Circuit's Hamdan arguments--and, more generally, our ability to pursue projects key to the site's ongoing expansion. It is a gratifying mark of how far Lawfare has come in a short time that Wells has taken this step.
