This is a picture of Kwame' and me taken at his office today. We accomplished a lot today. I am set to go to Sierra Leone to meet with the attorney there and discuss her cases defending journalists as well as develop strategies re these matters. Tomorrow I go to the Sierra Leone Embassy to get my visa (hopefully) for entry on November 13 with a return on the 15th.
In the meantime I received comments back today on my litigation plan for W. Africa countries and was able to complete a good updated redraft.
I am also preparing for my lecture to the Bar Association and media officials on Thursday. Apparently the U.S. Ambassador will have a representative or two there as well. My topic is: Media Law in the U.S.-It's Alive and Kicking. I intend to get into the Judith Miller story (she went to jail for 84 days for refusing to reveal her source in the Scooter Libby case). This has resulted in the newly proposed federal shield law which recently passed the House in aveto-proof and lopsided vote (even though or maybe b/c the Bush Administration opposed on national security grounds). But national security is already an exception, it is just too narrowly drawn for the Cheney crowd. Now it is up to the Senate. I know, I know, I am boring everybody to death but hey it's my blog, right.
Anyway, I meet with The Gambia media on Friday here in Ghana as we are having them in for some updating and strategy, so I have a busy work week.

Yes Dad, it is your blog and I think it is cool when your words include legal descriptions. The picture of Kwame did not come through. Do you have any pictures of you during a lecture? I would like to see that. Maybe when you visit Macon during the school year you can give a guest lecture at Mercer's law school about your current experiences.
I am very unhappy with the outcome of the Colt's game last night. But I agree with what you said: a loss now may just mean a win during the playoffs. It is more likely that the Colts-Patriots series will split rather than going 2-0 either way. I would rather lose now than during the AFC championship...
Lots of love,
Craig
