Response to Ella's oped

I thought your citations and facts were dead on.  Your paper had punch and was full of ethos, pathos and logos.  Your tone was heartfelt but logical and made your point very effectively.  Your organization was very good, bringing in the example of the 16 year old was a stroke of genius.  Only things I would take a look at would be a greater attention to grammar, you seem to be missing some "the"s here and there, it makes the paper feel more like a stream of thought than something to be read.  I wouldn't change a thing short of doing a grammar check and perhaps a nod toward the opposition's stance of why they would want to interrogate a minor.  Excellent work.
