Larue and Southern Dragon – thanks for letting me know about the comments still functioning. I had a couple of readers who emailed me to say that they couldn’t find a way to reply. WRT your concerns about driving away traffic, maybe posting a link to Glenzilla’s articles would bring new visitors to FDL who [...]

…so the purpose of this blog is entirely defunct for right now. I’ll try to find out what’s going on, but won’t be able to set up an alternate site any time soon.

Here’s what I know about, from the Center for Constitutional Rights website: http://ccrjustice.org/ourcases/current-cases/bush-torture-indictment

CCR and the Canadian Centre for International Justice (CCIJ) lodged a detailed and lengthy indictment setting forth the case against former U.S. president George W. Bush with the Attorney General of Canada, urging him to open a criminal investigation against Bush for [...]

Hi Teri49,

Please let me know if you have any problems with this commenting site. I’m crammed with various work and Occupy Pittsburgh commitments this week, but I hope to be able to work on any reader issues early next week.

Thanks!

Helen

Jeff, what are you seeing as the options? I’m one of those that has been out on the streets, at the October 2011 Stop the Machine action, and Occupy Washington D.C, and am just starting to help carry forward Occupy Pittsburgh here in my hometown. I’d be very interested in hearing your reflections on constructive [...]

I’m going to adapt part of the reply I addressed to Mona at UT when she expressed her own concern and doubt at this effort to set up a “Lifeboat” for the UT community. Adnoto, I respect your own direct actions and civil disobedience and am very glad you don’t currently face the same sense [...]

Well, back to the drawing board. Thanks, powwow and everybody else that helped test the basics. I’m headed back over to WordPress for now, and would be glad of recommendations of other blog sites hosts that have some or all of these requested features, sent or posted by regular UT letter writers: I: Crucial to [...]

Which is not as satisfyingly simple as I’d seen at regular blogs here at FDL. Check out the numbering/ordering system here:

Oh most heavenly after all my flub-ups at Salon, I’m thrilled that I can edit my comments here at FDL. But I want to make sure that the feature is available to all of you that comment here, not just me as the “Lifeboat Captain.”

But I’m not seeing the numbering of each comment that I’ve seen at other FDL articles. I wonder if they changed that feature?

If you paste a link into a comment, it is automatically “live” – no need to use the href html, and if you right click on the link, you will have the choice whether to open that link in a new tab or a new window.

This blog was set up to provide an alternative commenting site for Glenn Greenwald’s readers that are having difficulty logging into Salon and/or for readers concerned about their anonymity and information security. I’ll post a link to Glenn’s articles here each day and provide very minimal moderation, honoring Glenn’s own mainly hands-off approach at Unclaimed Territory. [...]
