This is exciting; I wish I were there.
"With more than 200 schools in at least 44 states already participating, Guantánamo: How Should We Respond?
is an unprecedented collaborative effort of academia, journalism,
religion, medicine and even the military in exploring the Government’s
detention policy and practices in the 'war on terror.' On October 5th,
Seton Hall will host an all-day conference available at academic
institutions across the United States to study the national and
international implications of indefinitely detaining hundreds of
individuals deemed 'enemy combatants.'
Guantánamo: How Should We Respond? has taken on increased importance since President George W. Bush’s announcement on September 6 that fourteen suspected terrorist previously held in secret United States facilities abroad will be transferred for trial by military commission at Guantánamo. This decision casts into question both what it means to have a fair trial in such a setting and the failure of the Government even to bring charges against the vast majority of the present detainees."

And speaking of exciting teach-ins, don't forget about the Ignatian Family Teach-in for Justice coming up at the action and vigil to close the School of Americas/WHINSEC this November.
