(Author's note: Apologies to Geoff and everyone else - I somehow managed to delete the last couple of paragraphs of this post when it went up.  I'll recover them--including the part of the post that actually introduces Geoff's paper!--and get it back up Tuesday. I'm sure everyone felt a trifle let down to have the last, incomplete sentence of the post beginning, "One of the most preeminent American law of war scholars and lawyers" ... only to break off unfinished and leave everyone hanging.)
