Stephen Grey

Stephen Grey (born 1968 in Rotterdam, Netherlands) is a British investigative journalist and author best known for revealing details of the CIA's program of 'extraordinary rendition.' He has also reported extensively from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Grey was educated at the British School of Brussels, St Alban's School, and Windsor Boys School, and then studied politics, philosophy, and economics at Oxford University. He was an active member of the National League of Young Liberals and was elected to their National Executive Committee in 1984. He was one of the key members of the Young Liberal Green Guard.

After training on the Eastern Daily Press in Norfolk, Grey worked successively for the Sunday Times, London, as Home Affairs Correspondent, South Asia Correspondent, European Correspondent, and as editor of the paper's investigative unit, the Insight team.

In the summer of 2003, Grey began investigating reports of the CIA's secret system of extraordinary renditions (transfer of terror suspects to foreign jails, where many faced torture). The results of his research were first published in the New Statesman in an article headlined 'America's Gulag' in May, 2004. After finding how to track the movements of alleged CIA planes used for rendition, he published the first flight logs of these jets in the Sunday Times in November 2004. He went on to contribute to several front page news articles to the New York Times about rendition and security issues, as well as to Newsweek, CBS 60 Minutes, Le Monde Diplomatique, and BBC Radio 4's File on Four. He presented television documentaries on the CIA rendition program for Channel 4's Dispatches Program and PBS Frontline World.
