So I think we should laugh at these horrible men, as cruelly and publicly as possible, because in many ways it's all you can do. But the minute it becomes something we joke about, that's just giving up. That's the culture that let this happen. At the same time: unclear what the third path its.

I had the honor of speaking on a recent panel about the boat strikes with Laura Dib (WOLA), Brian Finucane (Crisis Group), Katherine Yon Ebright (Brennan Center for Justice), and Amanda Klasing (Amnesty Int.). This is the most comprehensive discussion I have yet seen on the topic. Please share.
