Top Secret America
Wow, talk about “News You Should Know,” this would be pretty near the top! The Washington Post has recently created an entire Web site called Top Secret America that mirrors a section on the Washington Post Web site. The entire site is based on a two-year investigation by reporters Dana Priest and William Arkin. A section on the site entitled “A Note on This Project” states, “The articles in this series depict the scope and complexity of the government’s national security program through interactive maps and other graphics. Every data point on the Web site is substantiated by at least two public records. After viewing the video, I encourage you to find some time to explore their Web site. –Heidi
