| Page 163: | "He relayed that the media was getting blacklisted at White House press conferences if they pressed too hard, or asked difficult questions." |
| Number error: S/B "the media were getting blacklisted". |
| Page 163: | "The chain of custody (and the motive for calling someone a terrorist) was starting to look very suspicious." |
| Number error: S/B "were starting to look". |
| Page 174: | "If this doesn't make any sense, it's because it doesn't." |
| Missing words: S/B "doesn't seem to make any sense". |
| Page 175: | Quoting the Fifth Amendment: "No person shall be . . . compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law [emphasis added]; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." |
| Probably a publishing error. There is no sign of special emphasis; the entire quotation looks the same. |
| Page 193: | It was not an easy trip, and after several months of visiting Guantánamo numerous times, I was relieved when someone else other than me would make the trip..." |
| Redundant: S/B "someone other than me". (OK, that's a nit.) |
| Page 197: | I became a pretty frequent visitor to Guantánamo in the next few months." |
| Ha! (No worries; I'm sure the pun was unintended.) |
| Page 223: | In fact, it's just as competitive as getting an associate position at a top law firm, except that there are fewer positions available and relatively no turnover." |
| This choice of words is relatively unique. IOW, S/B "relatively little turnover". (Another nit.) |
| Page 268: | The Supreme Court found many of the features of the CSRTs and the DTA problematic; not surprisingly, those features were the same ones we had been touting for years as unjust, unfair, and inadequate." |
| Word choice: S/B "had been protesting". To "tout" means to advocate, to advertise, to "hawk", to promote, to try to sell. |
