Crime and Injustice vs. Political Coverage
I've received a few e-mails asking me when the blog is going to resume coverage of crime and injustice issues. A typical complaint:
There are civil liberties violations, judicial
decisions, the conviction and death of the
innocent...Isn't that worth a little discussion?
Here's the response I just sent to the sender of the most recent one.
In the past two days, I've written posts about the sixth anniversary of Guantanamo detentions and the ACLU's "close Guantanamo" campaign, yesterday's federal court decision throwing out four detainees' lawsuits against Rumsfeld and other military officials, Marion Jones being sentenced to 6 months for lying about steroid use, O.J. Simpson's arrest and jailing pending a bail revocation hearing, a federal judge's decision to stop a planned deportation to Egypt because of possible torture there, delays in implementing the Real ID Act, a PA exonerated death row inmate who will receive $4 million compensation, and the Supreme Court oral arguments in the Voter ID law case.I don't think I've ever left the topics of crime and injustice. There's just additional coverage of the primaries now, because it's primary season.
Suggestion: If you think the coverage is all political, just scroll down the front page of 15 posts and if you want more, click on the link to the previous 15 posts. You'll see it is not. We just write a lot here.
