Jane Mayer is one of those thorn-in-the-side investigative reporters who give the ruling establishment fits, and the bleeding-heart liberals ammunition to couple with a general sense of outrage. Best known for New Yorker pieces specializing in dirty government secrets about Guantánamo, state-sponsored torture, and rendition practices, the writer recently completed her third book — the scathing, saddening, and ultimately necessary The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals. Tonight, she discuses the exposé and charts a way forward for the Obama administration to reorient the nation's damaged moral compass.
