James Gordon Meek

[3][4] During his time as a journalist, Meek held prominent positions covering the justice system, military, and foreign intelligence desks.

[15] Meek initially wrote political articles for the CD-ROM magazine Blender, leading to 1995 accreditation with the Periodical Press Galleries.

[20] Meek was the last person to interview William Colby, for a story on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, as the former CIA director was found dead days later.

[21] Meek and Rosenberg then founded "Digital Culture Interactive News", which wrote stories about their Gridlock webzine, and sent submissions to Reader's Digest.

[31] Legal author Stuart Taylor Jr. accused Meek of "classist" coverage falsely suggesting guilt of the wrongly-accused defendants in the 2006 Duke lacrosse case.

In addition to his duties as a senior advisor, Meek was also the senior investigator for the House Committee on Homeland Security, and in May 2011 was sent to tour the ADX Florence supermax prison, and "cementing ties with Navy SEAL, Special Operations Command, Pentagon lead on front lines". [ 30 ]
