the book, we have also set up an archive, the guantanamo bay detention archive in connection with nyu's tenement library and seaton hall law school and the book in a sense is a beginning and through the archive we're going to continue this important process of preserving, preserving the records of guantanamo, preserving the stories so that it will always be there and people will not be able to minimize, distort or alter the truth of what happened during these last eight years at guantanamo. finally, i want to say that in this day and age and especially in the area of counterterrorism, lawyers have been vilified. you have individuals like john uze who used the law for justifying torture and illegality and you have the story of the evil perpetrated under the cloak of law. what i hope comes here through, though, through the lawyers, who have given so much of their time to the cause and fighting the detentions at exult guantanamo is the possible redemption in overcoming justice. i want to turn it over to my coeditor, mark denbeaux, who will get us going for tonight. >> thank you very much,
