Hastings rose to prominence with his coverage of the Iraq War for Newsweek in the 2000s. After his fiancee, Andrea Parhamovich, was killed when her car was ambushed in Iraq, Hastings wrote his first book, I Lost My Love in Baghdad: A Modern War Story (2008), a memoir about his relationship with Parhamovich and the violent insurgency that took her life. He received the George Polk Award for "The Runaway General" (2010), a Rolling Stone profile of General Stanley McChrystal, commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force in the Afghanistan war. The article documented the widespread contempt for civilian officials in the US government by the general and his staff and resulted in McChrystal's resignation. Hastings followed up with The Operators (2012), a detailed book account of his month-long stay with McChrystal in Europe and Afghanistan. Hastings became a vocal critic of the surveillance state during the investigation of reporters by the US Department of Justice in 2013, referring to the restrictions on the freedom of the press by the Obama administration as a "war" on journalism.[5] His last story, "Why Democrats Love To Spy On Americans", was published by BuzzFeed on June 7.[6][7] Hastings died in a fiery high-speed automobile crash on June 18, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.[8] http://images.google.com/search?safe=off&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1888&bih=1064&q=michael+hashtings&oq=michael+hashtings&gs_l=img #Google #OpGoogle #OccupyGoogle http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+CIA #CIA #OpCIA http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+FBI #FBI #OpFBI http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+DHS #DHS #OpDHS http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+FEMA #FEMA #OpFEMA http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+DoD #DoD #OpDoD http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+DoJ #DoJ #OpDoJ http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+Obama #Obama #OpObama http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+Benghazi #Benghazi #OpBenghazi http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+Boston #Boston #OpBoston http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+SandyHook #SandyHook #SandyHoax http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+TheaterShooting #TheaterShooting #TheaterShooting http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+Iraq #Iraq #OpIraq http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+Afghanistan #Afghanistan #OpAfghanistan http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+NATO #NATO #OpNATO http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+Baghdad #Baghdad #OpBaghdad http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+Buzzfeed #Buzzfeed http://www.google.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+Breitbart #Breitbart #OpBreitbart http://friendfeed.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+OR+Michael+Hastings #OpFriendFeed #FriendFeed http://twitter.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+OR+Michael+Hastings #OpTwitter #twitter http://reddit.com/search?q=MichaelHastings+OR+Michael+Hastings #OpReddit #Reddit
