Here at No Comment we deal with current events, politics, foreign policy, pre-Baroque sacred music, philosophy and literature… and we dispense a foolproof cure for those who just can’t manage to fall to sleep late at night. Just out: “Kriegsraison or Military Necessity? The Bush Administration’s Wilhelmine Attitude Towards the Conduct of War,” by Columbia Law School’s best known blogger, in the current Fordham International Law Journal.

Send me an email at scott@harpers.org with “Kriegsraison” in the re: line.
