Those interested in the old-fashioned printed word –- on paper, rather than the cyber variety –- may be interested in three new developments. Firstly, copies of The Guantánamo Files are back from the printers, and all those involved have done a fine job. It’s now just three weeks to publication, and copies can be pre-ordered from Pluto Press in the UK or the University of Michigan Press in the US. Amazon (US, Canada, UK) can also oblige.
Secondly, the latest issue of Index on Censorship, the essential quarterly magazine that has been defending the right to free expression since 1972, is out this week, featuring a wealth of fascinating articles on the Middle East, and on data control. Also included is “Wrong Place, Wrong Time,” in which I explain how I came to research and compile The Guantánamo Files, and what my research revealed.
And finally, “Scenes from the Struggle for the Rights of The Guantánamo Detainees,” an article based on two reports about the latest developments regarding the Guantánamo detainees, in the Supreme Court and in the appeals court for the recently-derailed Military Commissions, is featured in the latest print edition of CounterPunch, which also features Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair on “The Vices of Hillary Clinton,” and Eva Liddell on the similarities between George W. Bush and an earlier presidential disaster area, William McKinley.
