We found the project so interesting that we decided to ring Margot Williams, the Times' database research editor, who has spearheaded the effort. Margot has been involved in breaking Gitmo stories for years. In fact, she's such a junkie, she said she put a recording of KSM's confession [8] on her cellphone.

I was also on a team that won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting of the war on terrorism. In this effort, I was a member of a team that included Bob Woodward. I have to say that every prize that I have ever been involved with has been a team project, so it's not like the Pulitzer Prize is in my name. In order to get recognized, you have to have your name on the story somehow when it appears in print. In all my years in news librarianship, we'd have to fight to get credit on a story. That's the first step, and that's how it came about that researchers became part of Pulitzer Prize-winning teams.
