[Note for TomDispatch Readers: At this point every year, TD closes down.=
=C2=A0 We’ll be back Tuesday, September 6th, with a powerful piece f=
or the 10th anniversary of 9/11.=C2=A0 In the meantime, I briefly morph in=
to a book editor for the American Empire Project ( http://e2ma.net/go/71770=
36018/208650059/224364905/25612/goto:http://www.americanempireproject.com/ =

hose who emailed TD this last crazy month and haven’t yet heard back.=

omDispatch crew who keep this site ever above the waves: Nick Turse, Andy =
Kroll, Timothy MacBain, and Joe Duax.=C2=A0 What in the world would I do w=
ithout you?=C2=A0 =
And one last thing: if you’re in the mood for another dose of our abs=
urd wars, check out my latest piece, “The New Date for Victory in Afg=
hanistan: 2024 ( http://e2ma.net/go/7177036018/208650059/224364906/25612/go=

goto:http://www.tomdispatch.com/authors/billmckibben )
I didn’t think it was possible, but my admiration for Martin Luther K=
ing, Jr., grew even stronger these past days.
As I headed to jail as part of the first wave of what is turning into the b=
iggest civil disobedience action ( http://e2ma.net/go/7177036018/208650059/=
224364915/25612/goto:http://www.tarsandsaction.org/ ) in the environmental =
movement for many years, I had the vague idea that I would write something.=
Not an epic like King's “Letter from a Birmingham Jail, ( http://e2m=
a.net/go/7177036018/208650059/224364916/25612/goto:http://www.africa.upenn.=
edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html )” but at least, you know, a =
blog post. Or a tweet.
But frankly, I wasn’t up to it. The police, surprised by how many pe=
ople turned out on the first day of two weeks of protests at the White Hou=
se, decided to teach us a lesson. As they told our legal team, they wanted=
to deter anyone else from coming -- and so with our first crew they were&=
hellip; kind of harsh.
We spent three days in D.C.’s Central Cell Block, which is exactly as=
much fun as it sounds like it might be. You lie on a metal rack with no =
mattress or bedding and sweat in the high heat; the din is incessant; ther=
e’s one baloney sandwich with a cup of water every 12 hours.
