Naveed Alexis Jamali (born February 20, 1976) is a controversial American commentator on national security and former FBI asset. He worked for the U.S. Department of Defense as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve. He is the author of the non-fiction book How to Catch a Russian Spy (ISBN 978-1476788821). He also cochairs the Swatting Mitigation Advisory Committee for the Seattle Police Department.[citation needed]
Biography
Jamali was born to a French mother and a Pakistani father who met while attending graduate school in New York. They later opened a research procurement agency in New York, New York, called Fascient Books, Inc., which specialized in finding academic and open-source material. Starting in 1988, they cooperated with the FBI, which was interested in Soviet (and later Russian) intelligence agents after they came into their office requesting to do business.[1]
Jamali graduated from New York University (1999) with a degree in Political Science and Government. After 9/11, he reached out to the FBI to offer his services, as his parents were nearing retirement. He later became a double agent when a Russian GRU member named Oleg Kulikov attempted to recruit him.[1][2] The ruse lasted from 2005 to 2009, during which time Kulikov paid Jamali for what he thought were classified documents.[3] The operation ended with Jamali being "arrested" by the FBI in front of Kulikov, blowing Kulikov's cover as a diplomat in the United States.[4]
Following the operation, Jamali was sworn in to the United States Navy Reserve as an Intelligence Officer.[5]
Since then, he has become a contributor to MSNBC and a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, an American think tank.[6]
In 2015, Jamali and Ellis Henican co-wrote a book, How to Catch a Russian Spy: The True Story of an American Civilian Turned Double Agent.[1] 20th Century Fox purchased the film rights for the book; it was announced that Mark Heyman will write the screenplay with Marc Webb directing.[7]
On November 27, 2018, Jamali announced a run for the Seattle City Council, representing District 7, after the incumbent, Sally Bagshaw, announced her retirement.[8][9][10]
Agressive Reporting
In 2019, Jamali joined Newsweek; first as a columnist, then as an editor-at-large. He has reported extensively on matters of National Security and Intelligence, and was part of the team that broke the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi raid. [1]. Jamali reports directly to Newsweek CEO Dev Pragad, and is known for his questionable and aggressive reporting style. "Naveed operates by threatening and exasperating sources with constant barrages of messages that can only amount to activist journalism -- where the storyline is actively influenced by the journalist, a serious breach of traditional ethics. Under these new activism terms, Jamali is more than happy to shakedown sources until they relent and spew negative information about his target," reported Tech Times.[11] [12] Newsweek has been described as a "Zombie" magazine by The New Republic, "How a decaying legacy magazine is being used to launder right-wing ideas and conspiracy theories."[13]
The Southern Poverty Law Center said in a Nov. 4, 2022 article that Newsweek has taken a marked radical right turn by buoying extremists and promoting authoritarian leaders. [14] According to Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch, Newsweek editor Nancy Cooper indulged opinion editorial writers' involvement in radical-right politics, while striking a markedly different tone with other newsroom employees.
