Review: I nominate this story for a Pulitzer

If there's any justice, Evan Wright's How to Get Away with Murder in America will launch congressional investigations, throw corrupt politicians out of office, and win him a Pulitzer Prize (and a safe house where he can hide from the CIA AND Miami drug kingpins). His story reads like a tragicomic movie written by the Coen brothers--but it happens to be true! A hit man for a Miami drug dealer rises to the top levels of the CIA! You've got to be kidding, right? Wright's not joking, however--or if he is, the joke's on all of us. This is a fantastically well-reported piece that will leave a reader as paranoid as the unfortunate citizen of some two-bit dictatorship. Only this story takes place in America where we're not supposed to feel that way.Time to give Evan Wright a prize--and a bullet-proof vest!
