Festival of Learning, Day 2

Day 2 of the Festival of Learning was all I ever hoped it would be. Duke professor Scott Silliman's presentation on the legal aspects surrounding the detention, interrogation, and trial of detainees was very interesting. His presentation is on the internet somewhere--you could check it out. Did you know that those charges against Guantanamo detainees were dropped this week to avoid double jeopardy. It attaches at a different time in military court proceedings than in federal court proceedings. He favors using courts martial for enemy combatants.

I also attended a seminar on intellectual property for all of my Etsy-loving friends. It was all for you, Mel and Joan!
