Council speak 03/02/2007

The council has spoken. This week's winning council essay was Germany and Iraq Part IV by Done with Mirrors. The best essays I get to see as a member of the Watcher's council are the ones that open up a new perspective on the present or the past. This week's winner did just that. Second place went to Bookworm Room's Means v. Ends, which to reduce it to a song would be "Please don't let me be misunderstood." Of course that greatly simplifies an excellent argument, so read it and don't just take my word for it.

Among non-council posts the winning entry was The Blame Game by From my position ... on the way about the scandal at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. (Bookworm Room asks whether the correct person was blamed for the problems.) The runner up was the Augean Stables' Honor Killing, Silence and the meaning of Speaking out. The title says it all.
