As bad as the Post-Dispatch is, you have to give them credit when they do a good job. Phillip O’Connor has a great series of articles about the personal experiences of a couple Green Berets in the war on terror. What makes it so good is that he got great interviews with the people involved; his own editorializing leaves a lot to be desired, but overall the articles are well worth reading.
