Print-Friendly Articles


You can now print articles from this website in a very print-friendly format.

Printing in Firefox gives you an extra benefit: the links are automatically shown in parentheses next to the linked words themselves. For example, instead of seeing this:

This has been confirmed.

You would see this:

This has been confirmed (http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/14/iraq.torture/index.html).

So people looking at a printed out version would see the link refers to an article on CNN.

Give it a spin. For example, go to a link-intensive article such as Top Interrogation Experts Agree: Torture Doesn't Work, and print it out in Firefox.

This is a great resource for handing out print copies of roundups of vital information.

    too bad it wants to print the ads. Would be cool to have your stuff available in a book- chapters by subjects? Or in pamphlet form- like Chick tracts! Books starting from blogs is a growing phenom, i.e. Anonymous Lawyer and Pets Who Want to Kill Themselves

    Yes, I don't know how to stop printing ads.

→ Thank you for contributing to the conversation by commenting. We try to read all of the comments (but don't always have the time).

→ If you write a long comment, please use paragraph breaks. Otherwise, no one will read it. Many people still won't read it, so shorter is usually better (but it's your choice).

→ The following types of comments will be deleted if we happen to see them:

-- Comments that criticize any class of people as a whole, especially when based on an attribute they don't have control over

-- Comments that explicitly call for violence

→ Because we do not read all of the comments, I am not responsible for any unlawful or distasteful comments.
