You may recall that Lawrence Lessig
invited Howard Dean to "guest blog" way back when.
Recently, Lessig's guest has been Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Richard Posner. Its definitely worth a look.
He's talking alot about Intellectual Property, but also about the 9/11 Commission Report and its proposals.
For example, Judge Posner writes:
One is how to defend against terrorism. Although the 9/11 Commission's report is a good read, and has other virtues as well, one of its greatest weaknesses is its failure to address, other than in passing, terrorist risks that are even greater than that of another 9/11: in particular the risks of bioterrorism, nuclear terrorism, and cyberterrorism. The Commission's recommendations are concerned essentially with preventing a more or less exact repetition of the 9/11 attacks, which are any event the least likely form of a future terrorist attack, since surprise has been lost. We give our adversaries little credit if we suppose that the only attack they can launch is the one we've anticipated. They didn't make that mistake on 9/11; why should they now?
Frankly, he's got a point. I don't agree with Posner on a lot of stuff (and that's not even when he's ruling on cases I've been involved in), and he's often pegged as "conservative" becuase of his Law and Economics viewpoints (e.g., his assertions that a cause of rape is a shortage of the supply of sex in the marketplace), but he's not conservative in the political sense.
If you have a chance and the inkling, check him out.
