Congrats to the launching of The Interested Observer ... good luck! Her first post suggests what I have been suggesting for a while -- let's allow Castro protect the rights of the Gitmo detainees. We don't have ultimate sovereignty after all; it's not just because we are ignoring the rights of the detainees. btw it's sure to be about politics and law, so for now, I put it basically in the middle of the two categories.

Politics: I took a quickie political quiz; the results can be found here. I include a range, since a few questions could have gone either way. A fuller quiz can be found here. Suffice to say, I'm on the borderline of libertarian and left/liberal. Seems about right. As to politics, I discuss 10 hypocritical attacks on Kerry and touch upon a possible plan of attack here. It turned into a religious debate. Worthwhile, and I thank my two sparring partners.
