Our congratulations to Scott Horton, whose piece “The Guantánamo ‘Suicides’,” from the March 2010 issue of Harper’s Magazine, won the National Magazine Award for Reporting last night.
You can find coverage of the win here and here, via Andrew Sullivan and The New York Post. Our friends at Foreign Policy have also posted an interview with Scott here.
Scott’s piece is available online here. Subscribers can access a .pdf of the article as it appeared in the magazine there, as well. And Scott recently blogged about the piece here and here.
