Day 3 of the Student “Definite Detention” Sit-Out
Posted by stoptorture on April 28th, 2007
Today was the culmination of our effort, starting with a handful of dedicated volunteers sitting in Guantánamo jumpsuits in the cold rain in front of the John Harvard statue in the wee hours. At noon, a group of us, joined by habeas counsel Jerry Cohen of Burns & Levinson, LLP, operated an advocacy table in the student center of the law school on what was notably Alumni Day. This is especially significant given the shameful role some Harvard Law School alumni have played in creating and perpetuating the US torture policy, among them Alberto Gonzales and John Bellinger.
Overall, in about 15 hours of advocacy in the past three days, we collected some 300 individual letters to Congresspersons, which, copied to each Senator, amounts to around 900 letters that will be hand-delivered by habeas counsel in DC next week in their push to restore habeas corpus. Let’s hope someone listens.
Below are some of today’s photos of students and Jerry.

November 14th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for first-time blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
November 14th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. However think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could definitely be one of the very best in its niche. Terrific blog!

generally, FSBO sellers are going to reject you actually. Remember, they would prefer to not ever use your services. But if anyone maintain a reliable, professional romance, offering support and keeping contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually be capable to win a business interview. From there, a listing follows. Thank you Thanks for the a new challenge you have discovered in your writing. One thing I’d like to touch upon is that FSBO interactions are built after a while.

I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
November 21st, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Currently it seems like WordPress is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
November 21st, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Superb blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any recommendations? Cheers!

Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability and appearance. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
