Great. Can you send me your number just in case? I'm not in the office so I'm not entirely sure I have it handy.

Eric,

This is Adam Serwer from the American Prospect. I'm emailing because I'm writing a story about conservative lawmakers asking for the names of lawyers currently in the Justice Department (such as Neal Katyal) who worked on cases on behalf of suspected terror detainees, suggesting that they are "terrorist sympathizers". The Washington Times has begun to refer to these attorneys as "the Gitmo Nine".

This is a link to the Times editorial: http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/watercooler/2010/feb/26/next-two-names-gitmo-nine/

This is a link to a post by National Review writer Andrew McCarthy, who first set this process along: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MmYzNzM5ZmJiMWQ3N2U1YmU0YzYwZWU2NGFmNDdkOTk=

In any case, as a former defense counsel in the military commissions, I was hoping to get your reaction and ask you a few questions. Please feel free to respond to this email--I am out of the office at the moment, but I can be reached at my cell phone at 202-441-0852.
