The Council Has Spoken ...

The winning Council post was Dymphna's examination of a very difficult court case, Female Genital Mutilation in Georgia: Who is the Perp?  (Her follow-up is here.)  In second place was You Would Weep, posted by Callimachus, which describes a century's old betrayal by a younger America.  Let us hope we have grown older and wiser.

The winning non-Council post was Isis’ Guide to Sensible Islam Posting which was quite sensible and reasonable but I fear will be subverted by the behavior of all sides in an increasingly polarized conflict which has less and less room for a sensible middle despite our best hopes.  In second place was Covering Iraq: The Modern Way of War Correspondence in which Micheal Fumento discusses the difference between a reporter who covers the war in Iraq and the great bulk of MSM reporters who do something other than cover the war from the safe haven in their hotel rooms.

As always, the nominees can be found at the Watcher of Weasels and all will reward your time and effort.
