Congrats to Jacob "Saying Yes" Sullum!

Over the weekend, Reason's Jacob Sullum took home the Edward M. Brecher Award for Achievement in the Field of Journalism at the 2005 International Drug Policy Reform Conference. (Reason contributor Maia Szalavitz shared the prize with Sullum.)

Some details--though not many, to be honest--here.

Kudos to Jacob and Maia. At some point in the future, when the drug war hysteria is viewed with the same sort of derision and distance as the Salem Witch Trials, their work will be even more lauded for its role in questioning an ongoing moral panic that is as obscene as it is destructive to decent society.
