Bill Gertz is an internationally recognized newspaper reporter who has specialized in writing major stories on a wide variety of defense, intelligence, and international security issues. A veteran defense writer who specializes in coming up with inside stories, often based on classified documents, he is widely viewed as one of the best reporters in his field. His sources within government are extensive.
 
Bill has broken a number of stories with international implications. As former CIA Director R. James Woolsey put it, "When I was DCI [Director of Central Intelligence] Bill used to drive me crazy because I couldn't figure out where the leaks were coming from. Now that I've been outside for two years, I read him religiously to find out what's going on." Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson told the author: "We talk about your stories at Cabinet meetings." And White House spokesman Michael McCurry once called the author "a straight shooter" who has written "more interesting reporting on national security than anybody on the beat." Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh also has described Bill as "one of the best national security reporters in the country" who has produced more scoops exposing the Clinton administration's foreign and defense policy failures than any other reporter.
