For anyone actually listening. West End Festival starts in Glasgow this weekend. Art, music, dance. Tens of thousands in the street. Jazz Festival starting this weekend. Visitors from Canada. Art school graduation party. Sunshine, we hope. Stay Tuned. Thoughts for the day. Cheers.

A- I'm still refusing to Tweet. Perhaps I'd be tweeting/tweetering if my freedom of speech was taken away. China.

B - Guantanamo detainee. I imagine Ghailani has been brought to New York to stand trial only because the U.S. has substaintle evidence to prove his guilt in relation to East Africa bombings in 1998. Most Guantanamo Bay prisoners have never actually been charged with a crime, and the only reason the U.S. can't close the prison and offer these men a fair trial is because there is little or no evidence to prove the guilt of most of them, thus making the existence of the prison seem even more ridiculous than it already is.

Sidenote; many great things do hide in Cuba, however. See also a brilliant story from a few years back about Omar Khadr. Does anyone remember him? Khadr has been charged with a crime, actually, more like accused becuase it has never been made official, and will perhaps never be offered a trial because the evidence and testimony against him is complete bs.

C - Lawyers vs. jouralists.

D - Travel dream of the day. Croatia.

E - Well said of the day. Middle East and Obama.
