Jason Leopold

I'm an investigative reporter covering Guantanamo, counterterrorism, national security, human rights, open government and civil liberties issues. I've been called a "FOIA Terrorist" by federal employees for my aggressive use of the Freedom of Information Act, which has included suing the FBI and forcing the agency to changes its policies. I'm the author of the national bestseller, News Junkie, and an investigative report I worked on for two years, "From Hopeful to Immigrant to FBI Informant: The Inside Story of the Other Abu Zubaidah," was published as an ebook.

A radio documentary about my life, based on News Junkie, was broadcast by the award-winning podcast, Love + Radio and featured on NPR: http://loveandradio.org/2012/05/fix/
