From Wikipedia: "Douglas Farah is an American journalist, author and national security consultant. Farah served as United Press International bureau chief in El Salvador from 1985 to 1987, and a freelance journalist for the Washington Post, Newsweek and other publications until being hired as a staff correspondent for the Washington Post in 1992. While working for the Post, Farah served as bureau chief of Central American and the Caribbean until 1997, international investigative reporter between 1998 and 2000, and of West Africa between 2000 and 2003. He left the Post in 2004, and has since authored two books and served as a contributor to peer reviewed publications such as the Journal for International Affairs and analysis pieces for Foreign Policy and CSIS. Farah was born on July 22, 1957 and spent his childhood travelling the world with his missionary parents. He graduated from high school in 1974 from the American Cooperative School in La Paz. After travelling around Latin America and working odd jobs, Farah began attending the University of Kansas in 1980. He graduated in 1985 with a B.A. in Latin American Studies and a B.S. in Journalism. During this time he worked for United Press International, and upon graduation he was named UPI bureau chief in El Salvador, a position he held until 1987. In El Salvador his reporting covered the civil war and human rights atrocities, including coverage of right wing death squad activities and the 1989 murder of six Jesuit priests. Other reporting included the use of political amnesty to free the Salvadorian murderers of US nationals, the political gamesmanship of Salvadorian president Jose Duarte, the extortion of the country's high ranking civil servants, natural disasters in the region, such as earthquakes, and the expulsion of foreign nationals from the country. In 1988 Farah was the recipient of the Sigma Delta Chi Distinguished Service Award for Foreign Correspondence, for a series of articles he wrote on death squads in El Salvador for the Washington Post. He also moved to Colombia on contract with the Post to report on the drug wars in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia specifically the period of influence for Pablo Escobar. In 1992, after serving as a freelance reporter for several newspapers, Farah became a foreign affairs correspondent for the Washington Post. Soon afterwards he became the bureau chief for Central American and the Caribbean until 1997. In 2000 he was again named bureau chief, this time as chief of West Africa, a position he held until 2003. He reported on many different international affairs issues and civil war conflicts, including the economic reforms in Cuba, the inflation of extreme corruption among public officials as well as the civil war in Sierre Leone, the military dictatorship in Haiti, the Aristide and Preval era in Haiti, dictator Charles Taylor and his ties in the blood diamond trade to al Qaeda terrorists, American sanctions against Libya, US military involvement in Colombia, and Russian organized crime. Farah left the Post in 2004. Farah is an occasional contributor to Foreign Policy, covering issues including Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Muammar Gaddafi in Libya. He was also a contributor to the Counterterrorism Blog between 2005 and 2011. Farah published articles in Prism and at the end of 2012 Farah published the article Central American Gangs: Changing Nature and New Partners in the Winter 2012 issue of the Journal of International Affairs. In terms of longer works, upon leaving the Post in 2004 Farah published the book Blood from Stones: The Secret Financial Network of Terror, based upon the stories he broke regarding the ties between al-Qaeda and West African blood diamonds. The book also covered the story of how Farah had to leave the region due to death-threats and was welcomed back to America by a CIA embarrassed by the fact they knew nothing of his discovery. The b.
