THAT'S ME

in the picture, on the right. I think I'm reaching for a Fisherman's Friend. On the left is historian Tom Judd, originally from New Bedford, MA and a fan of both the U-Conn Huskies and the Red Sox -- hence, an excellent man. Tom talked about the post-Gulf War military situation in Iraq. In the middle is Steve Rosow. Steve's expertise are in political theory and international relations. He talked about this administration's National Security Strategy. I talked mostly about Doe v. Bush and why you shouldn't go to the courts to challenge executive authority during wartime (i.e., because you'll probably lose).

Read the article in the Oswegonian here. I don't remember using the phrase "spew one-sided information," but it's also not a direct quote, and I was running on a sleep deficit, so I'm not too certain. At any rate, the phrase captures what I meant to say.

[addendum: I forgot to mention that I talked about a couple of other things on Wednesday, including the anti-war conservative Christians I mentioned here, and pro-administration student groups such as OxDem, a project by, among others, the folks over at Oxblog. One thing that I said about OxDem is that student groups that are beginning to sign on to the administration's plans could, in the end, turn into severe critics of the administration if the plans for a democratic post-war Iraq do not materialize. --BEM]
