The IOP, as described by Jason Zenerle of the New Republic, serves as “a sort of halfway house for recently defeated politicians trying to reenter decent society.” This strategy of using rehabilitation to solve the political problem stands in stark contrast to the two ineffective methods that are currently dominant: exile and incarceration...

Leaders of rival factions greet each other as if they were old friends, with air kisses on both cheeks, with a long hand shake and a pat on the shoulder. Meanwhile in much of Iraq death squads take turns torching homes and lopping off heads. Holidays are observed, days off are taken, it's easy to think that while the country goes...
