brighter, more motivated, and have better family connections."

 

Mostly a common-sense article , but made me stop and think for a minute.

When Civil Servants Attack

http://www.newyorker.com/printables/fact/060227fa_fact

 Is an account of internal struggles to draw a line between torture and proper treatment procedures for detainees.  It's a good read - if somewhat of a letdown, we all know how this fight ended - and enlightens us mere mortals outside of the Beltway to executive policy-making trends.
