	Dana Priest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Priest was awarded the George Polk Award for National reporting for her November 2005 article on secret CIA detention facilities in foreign countries.
		Priest's article said that in addition to the 750 Guantanamo Bay detainees in military custody, the CIA held approximately 30 senior members of the al Qaeda and Taliban leadership, and approximately 100 foot soldiers in their own facilities around the world.
		In an interview, Priest confirmed that the CIA had referred her story to the Justice Department, and that various Congressmembers have called for an inquiry, to determine if she or her sources had broken any laws.

	Justice Dept
		Dana Priest: It was written at the request of the CIA, which was detaining and interrogating al Qaeda suspects in the wake of 9/11.
		Dana Priest: Well, the Justice Department memo was written in the context of going after the 9/11 al Qaeda group, and it was written for the CIA, which was handling a very limited number of people.
		Dana Priest: Given the fact that the head of the Office of Legal Counsel signed this memo suggests that it was a serious effort on the administration's part to look at the law.

		Dana Priest: I'm too old for basic training, and there is nothing new in the fact that the majority of reporters who cover the military have never served.
		Dana Priest: Loads of questions there, some are too foward-looking for me. The United States has made it clear its forces will only be a small part of the peacekeepers, not boots on the ground but airlift and intelligence.
		Dana Priest: I think peacekeeping will only increase as a mission for the U.S. military and that the Army, in particular, has not begun to restructure itself in a way that would bring less strain to its force.

	The Mission: Waging War and Keeping Peace with America's...
		Priest spent considerable time in the field with top military brass and foot soldiers alike in such hot spots as Colombia, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Indonesia, and the Balkans, where she got the inside scoop on how operations are carried out and what those in the military think of their expanded roles.
		Priest starts of with a dry academic introduction to the increasing role of the US military in International Relations, then soon into the book starts to write descriptions that are more like a fanzine, gabbling on about the individuals in the special forces.
		Priest is trying to enlighten the readers on how the military has gained power in the execution of foreign policy, how these powers exceed the scope of the military training, and how the CinC's (Commanders in Chief) have seemingly grown as powerful as most any political figure remaining in the United States.

		Dana Priest: I guess that's an entirely political question since the treasuries are controlled by elected officials.
		Dana Priest: Yes, I've just seen the wires that say that NATO warplanes may have accidentally struck a convoy of refugees and that 64 people are feared dead.
		Dana Priest: You would think so, especially since, as The Post documented in a long front page article on Sunday, there is evidence that the Yugoslav forces were preparing an offensive for some time.

	Command control / A journalist argues that the U.S. relies too much on the military to solve political and economic ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Indeed, Dana Priest argues in her timely new book, "The Mission: Waging War and Keeping Peace With America's Military," that the United States relies disproportionately on its military and often the discretion of regional commanders such as Zinni to address problems that are largely political or economic.
		Although Priest's excellence as a journalist is apparent, she tends to focus on reportage at the expense of analytical breadth and depth.
		More significantly, Priest's conclusions about her various examples of the military at work are often cursory (officials in Washington usually come across as shortsighted), and aside from a few introductory chapters, she only rarely takes a step back from her subject to explore its manifestations and implications in a broader context.

	Dana Priest receives Pulitzer
		Dana Priest, who visited UC Santa Cruz in March to receive the Division of Social Sciences' first Distinguished Alumni Award, has received a Pulitzer Prize.

		Priest covers national security for the Washington Post and has spent two years covering the transformation of the CIA into what she describes as a "paramilitary" organization.

		Priest decided it was improper for this program to be classified, so she and her allies in the CIA exposed it.

		PRIEST: So if you were to talk about the motives, as best you can determine, of people who -- you know, obviously they're often talking to you about things they aren't supposed to talk to you about; it's probably illegal for them to talk to you about, in some cases.
		PRIEST: So in what you're saying, you're rejecting those who say that there was a cabal that pushed falsified information, the whole Office of Special Plans that we read about in the Defense Department.
		PRIEST: Yeah, and I also think there was a decision that we're at war, and war powers give you -- as you've seen in that torture memo, the August 1, 2002, memo -- the commander in chief can disregard things.

	A White House Counter-Leaker Working for Fitzgerald?
		TWN contacted Dana Priest today to ascertain whether she was either interviewed by Patrick Fitzgerald or his legal team - or whether she testified before the Plame case grand jury - and she would not comment on this.
		Through another source close to Fitzgerald's investigation, TWN was informed that Dana Priest and Mike Allen were not interviewed as far as the individual commenting to me knew.
		Deduction leads one to surmise that this source for Dana Priest and Mike Allen is already known to Fitzgerald - and thus their testimony about this source would be both disruptive and unimportant.

	The Washington Note
		Although I disagreed with the primary thrust of Dana Priest's book, The Mission: Waging War and Keeping Peace with America's Military, there is little doubt that she is one of the best intelligence and defense correspondents in the business.
		In her book, Priest comes to the conclusion that the only entity in the great sphere of American institutions that can build nations and civil societies as well as topple the world's bad guys is the American military.
		Priest simply states the obvious, whether it is a desirable state of affairs, or no. Andrew Bacevich eloquently puts the case against the wholesale militarisation of US foreign policy, not to say its society as well, in his book, "The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced By War".

		In the main, she describes and analyzes the greatly expanded roles of the U.S. regional military commanders around the world—known as 'CINCs,' for commanders-in-chief, until Donald Rumsfeld renamed them 'combatant commanders.' Her particular focus is on the late Clinton and early Bush years, a period encompassing, among other significant events, the Kosovo and Afghanistan wars.
