Written several books and several articles, and ive heard him talk on the treason in the civil war about merriman. In fact, last night i watched him on cspan going over with his class this topic. It was really fun. It was neat to see how he interacted with the students and brought out in them a different opinion of what they had when they first came in, how they learned something from the discussion. And it was fun. And in particular, one of the questions one of the girls asked, with all the interests in merrimans rights, what about the gross treason of the whole situation . It seems like were looking at a little tiny speck, and the whole civil war was treason. So how he dealt with that was pretty good. And he has another book out thats this book. And he has another book out, the one hes going to be talking about today, and im looking forward to hearing about it. The first book is treason, Abraham Lincoln and treason in the civil war. Its about the merriman trial, and about what he did

Socalled Senate Torture report. It may incite violence abroad. Embassies are on alert. I will tomorrow. They are expecting to accuse the cia of lying to congress. This is not going to come as a surprise to anybody in that part of the world. We did some things that were wrong. We tortured some folks. The country was in no way ready to come to grips with the torture that took place. I think this is a terrible idea. If it diminishes their contributions to our country, it is way off base. That begs the imagination. I made comments on the floor tomorrow. Former Vice President dick cheney told the times any idea that the cia misled the white house is a crock. This report so about making sure that people understand what happened so it doesnt happen again. Tonight, u. S. Embassies worldwide are on alert. And 2,000 marines have been placed on alert in and around the persian gulf and the mediterranean to respond to any threat against americans after the release of a Senate Intelligence Committee
