As fate would have it, the Cell arrived in St Louis yesterday on the back of a tricked out bright orange big rig. Larry custom fit his rig with a full size bed, satellite TV and all the trimmings. I was hoping he would take me and M.E. for a ride to the Arch, but he had other plans. Darn. The trucking company we hire to move the cell around the U.S. contracts local drivers and it was just random that Larry’s truck was orange, but it really warmed my heart. It’s chilly here. If you’re in the neighborhood of the St Louis Airport Hilton between now and Sunday, please stop by.

Sorry for the delay in posting. It’s been a whirl-wind of activity since we wrapped up the Cell Tour Stop in Los Angeles.
A number of developments to report:
- We have an urgent action on behalf of 17 Uighurs detained at Guantanamo. Please take a couple minutes to send an email, fax or letter–it’s quick and can be done online, here.
- The Guantanamo Cell Tour continues with a stop in St Louis, October 23 - 26, to coincide with Amnesty International USA’s Midwest Regional Conference. Go here for more info.
- Amnesty International USA’s new Counter Terror With Justice campaign website is live, the url is www.amnestyusa.org/ctwj — please take a moment to check it out, and be sure to tag it on your Facebook profile.
- Check out and share this editorial from Sunday’s Los Angeles Times:
See you in St Louis!
