NEAL CONAN, host:
This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan in Washington.
NPR, the New York Times and other news outlets reported today on more than 700 secret documents that provide fresh insights on many of the men who populated the cells of the notorious prison at Guantanamo Bay.
The leaks tell us details like what they had in their pockets when they were captured and generalized assessments on how much of a threat they might be if released.
They include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the professed mastermind of 9/11; a sheepherder picked up by mistake and held for three years; and a man once judged a probable member of al-Qaeda who now commands a rebel unit in Libya.
If you have questions about what these documents tell us and what they don't, give us a call, 800-989-8255. Email talk@npr.org. You can also join the conversation on our website. Go to npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION.
Later in the program, on the Opinion Page, a former teacher alleges high schools fall prey to AP mania. But first, New York Times correspondent Scott Shane is here with us in Washington, in Studio 3A. Nice to have you with us.
Mr. SCOTT SHANE (New York Times): Thanks for having me.
CONAN: And NPR counterterrorism correspondent Dina Temple-Raston joins us from our bureau in New York. Always good to have you on the program.
DINA TEMPLE-RASTON: Thanks very much.
CONAN: Scott Shane, the Times says today these documents were materials released by WikiLeaks, part of the trove allegedly obtained by Bradley Manning. It also says the Times got them from another source. Is there anything more you can tell us about where these documents come from?
Mr. SHANE: I'm afraid I can't. Maybe I could set the stage a little bit. There were four big document dumps which have been part of what Bradley Manning, the private in - the low-level intelligence analyst in Iraq is accused of leaking.
There were first field reports from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and then, of course, the State Department diplomatic cables, and this is the fourth such batch. But we, the New York Times, did not get them directly from WikiLeaks. We got them from a confidential intermediary.
CONAN: Does the fact that you know that they were also obtained another way, is that two sources? Are these two separate sources, is what I'm saying?

The new season of The Real L Word debuts on June 5 but Showtime has unleashed their new advertising campaign letting everyone know what is up. The 7 girls, instead of being naked this go round are all covered in mud - I guess to show that they are
She and Chris come across countless girls in prairie dresses and sunbonnets, stay in a fiberglass "covered wagon" overnight and wade in Plum Creek. Occasionally, there's a transcendent moment. Even a casual Ingalls admirer like myself can understand
When I look at that picture, I see a newborn fawn covered in goo. There's a nice chapter in your book about the secret to a great sandwich and all the ingredients that go into making one. It almost works as a metaphor for your writing process.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Well, I was just going to say that is true, and I don't think that any of the New York Times coverage or the coverage that we've had puts this forward as gospel or the last word on these detainees. Instead, I guess the way we put it
"I guess [losing everything] several times has made me realize it's no big deal. It's all going to burn up anyway. Every woman has to come to a submission to that truth. If you know God and know His Word, you will understand that the things of this
Cloudy Day | Sunset Second Grade Stars
Since the rest of the week is predicted to be cloudy and rainy, we did a Guess the Covered Word about clouds. The students tried to guess the covered word using clues in the sentences. With this activity, the students learned about four different types of clouds.
After we were done with part of the unit test in reading today, the students were able to explore more about the solar system on the i-pods. Some of the students watched videos about space, others learned more about planets and saw some interesting photos. They were also able to play telling time games since we are learning time in math.
Homework for the night in Miss Hurtgen’s class is a spelling packet. Mrs. Matejka’s math class also has homework.
