Apparently he won some sort of journalism award while in prison. I dunno. I
don't care about that sort of thing and I assume none of you do, but his
writing stands out as excellent regardless. Pretty much everything else in
the Intercept is bombastic rediculousness, but his articles are always high
quality. To wit, the following para:

"""
I’m afraid I gave up on reading *Five Families* straight through after
about the halfway mark, by which point it had become clear that Raab,
contrary to all decency, was going to continue using the phrase
“law-enforcement” thusly, with the unwarranted hyphen, something that would
have been more tolerable did the term not necessarily appear every few
pages due to the nature of the subject matter, often in the company of such
other improprieties as “civil-rights,” “public-relations,” “stolen-car
rings,” or “loan-shark,” and to such an extent that one could be forgiven
for suspecting that Raab himself, for all his tough talk on crime, is in
fact some sort of illicit hyphen smuggler.
