April 23: The best thing I've read this week

This is long, so you might want to listen to it. The New Yorker has graciously provided the audio for you.

For me, though, part of the beauty of this entire exercise is the fact I get to sit down and actually read something, then share it with you. And, -- again, at least for me -- experiencing spellbinding reporting is something I find to be absolutely beautiful.

This story made me feel -- sympathy, conflict, warmth, sadness, loss, confusion. It taught me things I didn't know. And, it made me ashamed. 

It also made me ask myself repeatedly, how did the author know what he knew? It's a question great reporters force upon us, then answer with their reporting through sources and documents. 

Ben Taub is one of the best. And, in this article, he shows us why.
