My name is Jay Daverth from The Hindsight Factor and I have been living, working, and writing in Europe for the past six years. Despite an extended expatriation, my Melvillian obsession with U.S. politics has not only persevered, but seems to have only increased with distance. During the dwindling moments when I am not pajama-clad and blogging away, I am busy completing my Ph.D. in International Peace Studies at Trinity College Dublin where I am researching the intersection of terrorism, civil society, and U.S. foreign policy.

The MBA’s participation in a high profile judicial process is not only a colossal opportunity to increase the level of professionalism around the blogosphere, but also represents an unprecedented expansion of an already emerging reformation in national media coverage. While geography renders my direct participation problematic, I will be contributing from Dublin via a daily round-up of left-leaning bloggers discussing the Libby trial.  Be on the lookout for the first installment of “Libby: Leftly-Leaning” later today.
