2. Cop shoots his own leg while giving a gun safety demonstration to a classroom of kids and adults.
3. What is torture?

   While the public expressed outrage at the photographic evidence of torture at Abu Ghraib, the writers and architects of U.S. torture policy have been largely forgiven. Many have been promoted.

9. GULC rising 2L Swanno has started a new group blawg currently called Postmodern Law. That could be interesting.
