Dean Calbreath has been a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune for ten years, focusing largely on the economy, finance, international trade and the nexus between politics and business. In 2005 and 2006, Dean Calbreath was part of a Pulitzer Prize winning team that uncovered the biggest bribery scandal in U.S. history, involving then-Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, who pleaded guilty and is now serving eight years in jail. Calbreath linked the scandal to defense contractor Brent Wilkes, who has since been sentenced to twelve years in jail, and former CIA executive director Dusty Foggo, who pleaded guilty. He also explored Wilkes’ ties to other legislators, including former House Minority Leader Tom DeLay and Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis. With three co-authors – Marcus Stern, Jerry Kammer and George Condon Jr. – he wrote a book about the scandal: “The Wrong Stuff: The Extraordinary Saga of Randy “Duke” Cunningham, the Most Corrupt Congressman Ever Caught.” Prior to the Cunningham scandal, Calbreath’s writing for the newspaper included several award-winning series on China’s growing economic clout; a series written from the Middle East on Arab reactions to 9/11; an investigation into the rise in global oil prices; and a number of stories on the impact of globalism on the U.S. and foreign economies.Immediately prior to joining the Union-Tribune, Calbreath was a special correspondent covering the Czech Republic and Slovakia for The Wall Street Journal and Business Central Europe, a publication of London’s Economist magazine. During his 30-year career in journalism, he has covered the fall of the Berlin Wall, the restructuring of the former Soviet Union, ethnic strife in the former Yugoslavia and the emergence of the European Union, among other stories.
