M S Waas

From U.S. News & World Report:

Washington investigative journalist Murray Waas, 47, has been been ruffling official feathers since the Clinton Whitewater/Lewinsky imbroglio, when his stories on Salon.com took a prodigious swing at dismantling special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's investigation.

Yet Waas has always managed to remain well under the public's radar – refusing to appear on television.

With the publication in recent months of his news-breaking stories on the Bush administration's involvement in manipulating prewar intelligence.

. But Waas' journalism will continue to draw attention to him. Waas's exhaustive National Journal stories on the inquiry into the leak of Plame's name to reporters has been praised by media critics – Jay Rosen of "PressThink" called Waas the new Bob Woodward, and columnist Dan Froomkin of WashingtonPost.com praised large media organizations for following up on his disclosures.

Waas wants to keep pushing "to really get to the bottom of how we got into the war – whether the American people were told the truth."
