Murray Waas of the Los Angeles Times

Hey there, I’m Murray Waas. I’m a journalist living in Washington D.C.

Following the presidency of Gorge Herbert Walker Bush, in 1993, while a reporter for the The Los Angeles Times, Murray Waas, along with Los Angeles Times colleague Douglas Frantz, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in the category of national reporting for his stories detailing that administration's prewar foreign policy towards the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein.That same year, Murray Waas was also a recipient of the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting, awarded by the Joan Shorenstein Center on The Press, of the John F. Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University, for "a series that detailed United States policy toward Iraq before the Persian Gulf war."

On March 10, 1992, Murray Waas and Douglas Frantzdisclosed that the Reagan and Bush administrations had engaged in secret intelligence sharing with Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime, after falsely telling the Congress and the congressional intelligence committees that it had ended such cooperation.

Later, Murray Waas also reported about the second Bush administration's prewar policy leading up to war with Iraq.
