Bat-Chen Shahak was an ordinary girl, living in Israel in 1996, when she was killed by a suicide bomber while shopping. This short book contains photographs, postcards, poems, and little bits of life that Bat-Chen kept in a diary up until her death.
Pretty self-explanatory and will be enjoyable those kids, mainly girls, I know, that like reading diary-type stories. Plus, it’s true and one I would compare to Zlata’s Diary, published back in the mid-90’s about a girl’s life in Sarajevo. A pretty good selection for today’s society, though I personally enjoyed Zlata’s Diary a bit better. That being said, the reader will still learn something about Israel’s strife and Bat-Chen herself and as well as get their dose of diary writing that so many enjoy.
The EFF has just reported that the gag order provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act concerning National Security Letters are unconstitutional. This is NOT the Connecticut case, but a related one concerning the records of an internet service provider. Here is more explanation from the ACLU and a link to the decision (pdf). The decision claims this gag order provision of the USA PATRIOT Act is unconstituional because “it does not afford adequate procedural safeguardd, and because it is not a sufficiently narrowly tailored restriction on protected speech.”
