I’ve really been enjoying the subscription to Mother Jones my in-laws got me for my birthday. They do exactly what you’d want a monthly magazine to do: run long, in-depth investigative articles that go beyond the surface coverage you tend to get in weeklies or dailies. I used to subcribe to half a dozen or more political magazines, but over the years I’ve whittled it down to two (First Things is the other one).

Anyway, this month’s issue focuses on torture, and I thought this article was particularly powerful. It consists of interviews with several men involved with handling detainees in Iraq.
