An Emmy-award winning reporter, recently inducted into the Society for Professional Journalists Washington Hall of Fame, he covered combat in both Iraq wars, the White House during the George W. Bush Administration, the Clinton scandals, the Supreme Court, and Congress for 10 years. He forced world attention on the Guantanamo Bay prison camp with his extensive reporting from there.
He's been there live through dramas like the Terri Schiavo tragedy and countless natural disasters.
