BTW, dumbo, this hardly sounds like an organization which would cover up or "cherry pick" in Bush's favor: About the Center The mission of the Center for Public Integrity is to provide the American people with the findings of our investigations and analyses of public service, government accountability and ethics related issues. The Centers books, studies and newsletters combine political science and investigative reporting, unfettered by the usual time and space constraints. Through its hard-earned reputation for "public service journalism," the Center aims to produce high-quality, well-documented, investigative research resulting in a better-informed citizenry that demands a higher level of accountability from its government and elected leaders. The Center also extends globally its style of watchdog journalism in the public interest through the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). Created in 1997, ICIJ includes more than 80 leading investigative reporters and editors in over 40 countries. Since opening its doors in downtown Washington, D.C. in 1990, the Center has released more than 100 investigative studies including 10 books. Four of them were finalists in the best investigative book category for the prestigious Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) award. In 1999, Animal Underworld won that prize. Another book, Citizen Muckraking provides ordinary Americans a step-by-step guide on how professionals, such as journalists and lawyers, gather information on ethical lapses of corporate and government groups. The March 2001 book, The Cheating of America, documents how wealthy individuals and corporations avoid paying their fair share of taxes. The Center's report, "Our Private Legislatures: Public Service, Personal Gain," was the winner of the 2000 IRE Award for outstanding investigative reporting in the online category. In two of the last three years, ICIJ reports have been IRE finalists. The Center's most recent publication, Capitol Offenders is the first book-length investigation of state lawmakers' outside interests and the influence of industry lobbying on legislative decision-making.
