Post Picks Up Polks

(say that five times fast)

Three Washington Post reporters picked up George Polk awards, the coveted journalism awards that have been around since 1949. “The George Polk Awards memorialize the CBS correspondent who was murdered while covering the civil war in Greece in 1948. The Awards rank among America’s most prized honors in journalism.”

From the release:

    The George Polk Award for National Reporting will go to Dana Priest of The Washington Post for unveiling the existence of secret CIA-run prisons and wrongdoing that included the death of an Afghan detainee and the attempted cover up of the mistaken imprisonment of a German citizen.
