It's official...

...I have the most awesome job in the galaxy. Possibly other galaxies too.

I just spent an hour discussing particulars with one of my soon-t0-be coworkers. I can't tell you anything specific, but it looks like I'll be in Morocco for slightly over a year. The project itself is super-cool, too. I'm going to be spending half my time learning how to use/abuse obscure computer systems. The other half of the time I'll be smoking hashish dealing with urgent national security issues.

Also: Dahlia Lithwick sums up the Moussaoui debacle in Slate. Slate's lost a lot of good writers recently, but I'll keep reading as long as Lithwick keeps covering legal affairs.
