Danner Receives Carey McWilliams Award

The American Political Science Association gave Mark Danner, who teaches journalism at UC Berkeley, the Carey McWilliams Award for 2006. The award honors excellence in political writing.

The APSA selection committee cited Danner's work on torture and the Downing Street memo, which I followed with interest in The New York Review of Books. Some of that work, and responses to it, is collected in The Secret Way to War: The Downing Street Memo and the Iraq War's Buried History. Here's the link:
