With shout-outs to ourselves and our buds at The Atlantic, GQ, and more. Awesome read, once you get past the snarky hed. (Hey, man, we’re here for the community karma, not the subscriptions. We’ve got folks who make up card mailers for that sorta thing.)

Suicide notes →
My dearest Andrew,

Given the news that the crucial information on bin Laden’s courier—the man who unwittingly led the U.S. to bin Laden’s compound—came from Guantanamo...

newshour:
