Final Thought on S. 3707: A Suggestion for Readers

In the few days this blog has been operating, it has already developed a readership with a remarkable range of expertise, background and politics--including people who have engaged the issue of detention from just about every angle. So I am going to propose a novel project by way of concluding my admittedly-lengthy thoughts on the Graham bill: Send me suggestions to make it better. We don't take comments on this blog (they've ruined too many others). But if you have ideas concerning how this bill could be improved, send them along to me.

In the few days this blog has been operating, it has already developed a readership with a remarkable range of expertise, background and politics--including people who have engaged the issue of detention from just about every angle. So I am going to propose a novel project by way of concluding my admittedly-lengthy thoughts on the Graham bill: Send me suggestions to make it better. We don't take comments on this blog (they've ruined too many others). But if you have ideas concerning how this bill could be improved, send them along to me. I will post ideas I think interesting or valuable so that other readers can engage them. For those of you in positions that don't lend themselves to publicity, I am happy to do so while keeping your identity confidential. The idea is to see if we can collectively improve the bill. Any thoughts?
