Washington Post hires WSJ’s Strobel

He has covered American foreign policy, national security and intelligence agencies for 35 years, in Washington and overseas. He has travelled with seven secretaries of state; reported from nearly 100 countries; and deployed to war zones and other hostile environments, including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Niger and the Palestinian territories.

Prior to his work at the Journal, Strobel was an editor and correspondent in Reuters’ Washington bureau. Before that, he was a correspondent for Knight Ridder/McClatchy’s Washington bureau, where he was part of a four-person team whose reporting consistently challenged the George W. Bush administration’s case for invading Iraq in 2003.

The story of their award-winning work was told in the 2017 feature film “Shock and Awe,” and in Bill Moyers’ documentary “Buying the War.”
