<> 6:00 pm CDT -- Headlines
<> ~6:15 pm CDT -- JONATHAN LANDAY investigates secret imprisonment of an American
Journalist Jonathan Landay is a regular guest at the Monitor. This past week he was a guest on Bill Moyers' program, as one reporter who got it right early about the Iraq War, and chose to be an investigator rather than a stenographer for the administration's claims.
Mark Bebawi will talk with him about his recent investigation into the fate of a US citizen currently in a secret prison in Ethiopia. The prisoner, a Muslim of Tinton Falls, N.J., was among a number of people captured fleeing Somalia.
Landay, a national security and intelligence correspondent, has written about foreign affairs and U.S. defense, intelligence and foreign policies for 15 years. From 1985-94, he covered South Asia and the Balkans for United Press International and then the Christian Science Monitor. He moved to Washington in 1994 to cover defense and foreign affairs for the Christian Science Monitor and joined Knight Ridder in 1999. Knight Ridder is now the McClatchy newspaper chain.
Landay speaks frequently on national security matters, particularly the Balkans. In 2005, he was part of a team that won a National Headliners Award for “How the Bush Administration Went to War in Iraq.” He also won a 2005 Award of Distinction from the Medill School of Journalism for “Iraqi exiles fed exaggerated tips to news media.”
