Quest by 'rageful guy' to pry out US government secrets

Los Angeles

WHEN reporter Jason Leopold, 45, gets ready to take on the United States government, he psychs himself up by listening to heavy metal bands Slayer and Pantera.

Mr Leopold, who describes himself as "a pretty rageful guy", works for Vice News and reserves most of his aggression for dealing with the government. He has revealed about 20,000 pages of US government documents, many of them the basis for explosive news stories.
