The Center for Public Integrity
“Over the years, those unhappy with my investigations have tried just about everything to discourage our work. They have issued subpoenas, stalked my hotel room, escorted me off military bases, threatened physical arrest, suggested I leave via a second-story window, made a death threat personally communicated by concerned state troopers who asked that we leave the area immediately (we didn’t), hired public relations people to infiltrate my news conferences and pose as “reporters” to ask distracting questions, attempted to pressure the Center’s donors, and even brought expensive, frivolous libel litigation that takes years and costs millions of dollars to defend.”
