- SDFL also has your Padilla case update. It seems the government won’t even give him copies of his own statements while in custody — on the grounds that the information is classified!
- Daily Kos Diarist makes the case that Bush Lied About Abu Ghraib. Interesting to see the “Bush lies” meme propagate and mutate.

Holland & Knight’s Florida office has a nasty history of sexual harrassment. Can $120,000 per year compensate for that?
