Orin Kerr thinks that people are making too big a deal of the fact that this war is being watched in what’s basically real-time. I agree that it’s a little unsettling, but I think that’s good: just as with capital punishment, I think that the public’s visibility into a war conducted on their behalf is very important. I’m sure there are a lot of people 8 time zones from me that would love to be bored of the war, too. (Yeah, I know Canada’s not in the war right now.)

I moved the two new links into the traffic analysis section, because that’s where they properly belong. I’m not really thrilled with most of this new Clayton guy’s posts on the Conspiracy, but Eugene continues to deliver.

When the military conducts itself more sensitivity and grace than the so-called statesmen, it makes one wonder if we shouldn’t have let the professional “last-ditch-diplomats” take over earlier.

Anatole has justified my blogroll faith with some new updates, including a choice bit of Fleischer deconstruction.

The lady at Air Canada tried to convince me that their war-in-Iraq rebooking policy only applied if I was changing my ticket “because of the war”, but she relented pretty quickly when I asked what that would mean, exactly. So I’m off to Boston a little early.
