I received the latest issue of Harper’s in the mail on Friday, and settled in to read it last night. If you still need proof that the magazine provides some of the best investigative reporting out there—and that our military governance is seriously frightening—you must read Scott Horton’s article on Guantánamo.
It provides a constant string of those “how-did-I-miss-this” moments that are the keystone of memorable reporting. Horton only bites when he’s sure he’ll get something good, and his restraint and lack of embellishment is almost as mesmerizing as the risk he takes in stating the simple facts.
