The New York Observer reports that earlier this month, James Gordon Meek resigned his position as the terrorism reporter for the New York Daily News—a post he had held for 8 of his 13 years on the beat—and accepted an offer to become a senior investigator on the House Committee on Homeland Security.
Meek told The Observer, “It’s a pretty intense period right now and the idea of having any piece of it, any part of helping secure the country was—there are those moments sometimes where you just can’t say no to something like that.”
