Who Killed Jack Wheeler?

I was browsing through the USA Today as I always do on Tuesdays (too much down time between classes) and I came across a story that completely captured my attention. Peter Eisler's "Who Killed Jack Wheeler?" reads more like a suspense novel than a news story. Several reporters have covered the mysterious death of the former Pentagon official but none have been this riveting. Eisler has perfected the art of telling an interesting, informative story. 

Aside from the story itself, the visual aids were extremely useful. The story that ran in the paper was accompanied by a map showing the whereabouts of Wheeler during his last days on earth. The online version is even better! It's interactive and allows you to follow Wheeler day by day through his seemingly random journey. 

The story in itself is interesting; however, I have to admit that I haven't read a single article about Wheeler all the way through until this one. Hats off to you, Mr. Eisler.
