Career

Prior to writing about corporations and their political ties, Briody was a technology journalist, including working as an editor[2] and columnist[3] for InfoWorld. He later began writing for the magazine Red Herring, for whom he initially wrote about the Carlyle Group in 2001.[4]

Briody expanded his Red Herring Carlyle Group article, turning it into his first book in 2003. The Iron Triangle landed on several best-seller lists,[5] with The New York Times describing it as "one-stop shopping for anyone who wants a laundry list of accusations against Carlyle since its inception in 1987."[4]

The Iron Triangle put Briody in the media spotlight, commenting to audiences curious about the confluence of the military business and politics. Briody appeared in Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11, talking about how the Carlyle Group benefited from 9/11 and the Bush family's connections with the Carlyle Group and Saudi Arabia.[1] Briody has since appeared on a number of national broadcasts including The Today Show, Nightline, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and NPR's Fresh Air.

In 2004, Briody published The Halliburton Agenda, a detailed account of Halliburton, the oil services and logistics company formerly run by Dick Cheney. In particular, he covered its subsidiary KBR (formerly named Kellogg Brown & Root).

More recently, Briody writes freelance articles for a variety of magazines, including Martha Stewart Living, Golf Digest, BusinessWeek, MSN, and Inc. He is also the founder of a communications consultancy for Fortune 500 companies.
