So in a couple of weeks, I’ll be attending this conference on the use of drug informants, sponsored by the ACLU.

The roster looks fascinating. Lots of people far more interesting than I am.

And I’m stoked about meeting Ed Burns, co-creator of The Wire, which I’ll say without reservation is the best thing ever put on television.

I hope to pull lots of material from the show for blogging, podcasts, etc. But as I understand it, some participants are fine with the discussions being on the record, and some would like their participation to be off the record.

So we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out.
