...category included Washington Post writer Dana Priest, who wrote on the secret prisons outside the U.S. that the Central Intelligence Agency used to detain and interrogate terrorist suspects. Susan Schmidt, James V. Grimaldi, and R. Jeffrey Smith, also of The Washington Post, were nominated for revealing details about lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s network and ties to then-House Majority Leader Tom Delay. Risen and Lichtblau, who beat out three more teams of reporters from The Los Angeles Times, Copley News Service, and The Toledo Blade, will receive a $25,000 prize. “All six of these...
...Unpersuasive Picture "Abramoff's Kodak Moment" [Feb. 20] described a gathering of about two dozen people that included President Bush, Raul Garza?who was a client of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff?and Abramoff himself.

Almost two months after lobbyist Jack Abramoff's plea agreement as part of a public corruption scandal, the Senate has started an intense debate on proposals to reform lobbying. And for a Congress noted for its ever-increasing partisanship, this issue seems to be creating an unusual level of consensus. In the next few days, the Senate is likely to pass a bill that stops lobbyists from offering gifts, including meals, to members, requires more disclosure of members' contact with lobbyists, makes ex-congressmen wait longer before they cash in on their congressional service and become high-powered lobbyists...
