Noteworthy
Steven Beattie on the Giller longlist:
this year’s jury, made up of Irish author Roddy Doyle, American author Gary Shteyngart, and Canadian author Anna Porter, has chosen a baker’s dozen made up of first-timers, genre writers, and previously overlooked names.

"Too much risk"
Desmond Tutu on the haste to invade Iraq:
Days before George W Bush and Tony Blair ordered the invasion of Iraq, I called the White House and spoke to Condoleezza Rice, who was then national security adviser, to urge that United Nations weapons inspectors be given more time to confirm or deny the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Should they be able to confirm finding such weapons, I argued, dismantling the threat would have the support of virtually the entire world. Ms Rice demurred, saying there was too much risk and the president would not postpone any longer.

Goin' viral
It seems that someone has hacked into this site. The logo is now, ah, modified. God knows what else has been monkeyed around with.
Until I figure out how to fix this problem (am still trying to wish it away), you might check out CBT's new incarnation at finnharvor.com/blog.
