Michael Hastings is dead

[hseiken]

One of the most outspoken journalists actually reporting information rather than either sitting on info he had due to political or editorial/publishing pressure or simply parroting government press releases died in an car accident last night. It was a one car, one fatality crash...

This comes hot on the heels of the revealing of NSA practices, government officials committing perjury during hearings regarding the reach and practices of the NSA and some would suggest, such as Cenk Uyger of The Young Turks, that his heightened paranoia of being under the watchful eye of secret government might have been a contributing factor to his death at that moment.

Read more about him here, where he published an unfiltered story of General MChrystal, which ultimately lead to the General's 'forced retirement'.
