Ppl are rushing to judgment abt strike. More details needed. If IDF statement is true, longstanding accepted intl law permitted strike, esp given advance warnings to ensure evacuation. Media cannot be used as shield by Hamas for legitimate target. That wld be actual war crime.
Hopefully Israel won't hide behind claim of revealing "sources" or "methods" & will elaborate upon its evidence to legally justify strike.

This is abt to be public relations & legal battle as much as actual one.
To be very clear, all I am saying is that more facts are needed & ppl should not be rushing to judgment. Unclear yet if strike was lawful or unlawful.

Anyone who says to contrary is showing agenda & bias for one side (Israel) or another (Hamas).

1/THREAD ON #JFKAssassination RECORDS

On Apr 26, 2021, I sent letter - w/some notable signatories - to Public Interest Declassification Board (#PIDB) to ensure compliance w/laws surrounding release of #Kennedy assassination docs.

You can read blog here:

…ing-classification.blogs.archives.gov/2021/05/05/pid…
2/Congress created #PIDB as advisory committee with official mandate of promoting fullest possible public access to thorough, accurate, and reliable documentary record of significant U.S. national security decisions and activities.

3/In a prior Twitter thread I outlined important legal deadlines that exist w/r/t release of additional #JFKAssassination records under President John F. Kennedy Records Collection Act of 1992.

1/My colleague & old friend #AllanGerson, who led efforts to sue #Libya for bombing of #PanAm103, passed away of rare neurodegenerative disease in Dec 2019. His posthumous book "Lies that Matter" is abt to be published. Few knew his true story for years.

2/His daughter #Daniela had a great op-ed in yesterday's @nytopinion abt Allan's story. I highly recommend it.

3/Allan had amazing career. We met when I was 3rd year law student & started working together following year. We spent years pursuing #Libya for families of #PanAm103 victims. We filed first lawsuit in 1993 & ultimately settled case for $2.7B in 2003.

1/BINGE TV OBSERVATIONS

It's been 14 months of binge w/gf. Some key conclusions. Some new, some not.

What were yours?
2/ The great nation state of #Canada 🇨🇦 has unbelievably disproportionate number of actors per its population.

I mean, seriously, everyone is Canadian!! 😆
3/I love TV shows from down under🇦🇺. Particularly enjoyed #Rake, #Offspring & #Sisters. But it's like they need to use same actors at same time! With only 12 million less ppl than Commonwealth sister country 🇨🇦, what's up with this!

Also, hope some of the actors hit US market.

1/JFK ASSASSINATION THREAD:

Today is impt deadline for USGOVT in ensuring release of #JFKassassination records. Fed agencies had to identify to @USNatArchives specific basis for postponing release of records beyond Oct 26, 2021.

Here is some history on releasing all records.
2/In 1992, Congress passed President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Act, 44 U.S.C. § 2107 (Supp. V. 1994), which required all government agencies to search for records in their possession concerning assassination & place them in #NationalArchives.
3/A Review Board was established to identify & retrieve all "assassination records". I co-authored law review article in 1993 defining that term & identifying most important assassination records to obtain.

1/Although this is candidly not new, little known law that governs @DeptofDefense employment, esp for cleared positions, shows how absurd current cannabis policy is.
2/To be hired "[t]The person shall not be an unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802))."

What does that mean?
3/"For the purposes of these special employment criteria, 'unlawful user' is defined as any unlawful use of a controlled substance within the preceding 12 months of the individual’s certification of these Conditions of Employment."
