Post-traumatic stress disorder: It's not just for warriors any more. USA Today reports that U.S. diplomats who have served in Iraq are returning with some of the same stress-related symptoms as military service members. That has prompted the State Department to commission a mental health survey of the 1,400 diplomats who have completed assignments in Iraq.

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
