Editing boundaries and rules

Editing is all about boundaries and rules. Should I include this detail in the headline? Is this number relevant to my research? Should I mention the groom's bachelor party during my toast? Basically, it comes down to whether or not we should include or do something, and when we should not.

Over the weekend, I saw the movie Unthinkable. This is a great movie to watch if you want to have your moral boundaries tested. I don't want to give away too much of the storyline here, so...

Now that that's out of the way, the movie is basically about a terrorist who plants 3 nuclear bombs in 3 American cities, and then gets captured. While in captivity, he is tortured in order to gather information regarding the whereabouts of the bombs. The U.S. government employs a specialist who essentially does anything and everything to get the information he needs from the terrorist. The use of torture alone crosses most people's moral boundaries, but it gets even worse.

All I can say is, watch the movie, and you'll spend the next few minutes arguing with yourself about where your own moral boundaries are.
