Iraq Study Group Report

Lewis Lapham, editor emeritus of Harper’s Magazine, approached the Institute for the Future of the Book to help him and his colleagues launch the web component of this new journal, called Lapham’s Quarterly. We conceived of a project called Operation Iraqi Quagmire, that provided informed sources and scholars the ability to closely annotate the recently published Iraq Study Group Report. I developed the annotation technology, a WordPress plugin that later became CommentPress.
