You should check out his speaker profile on our site for info like this. Here is an excerpt from his page with what you want:

Scahill has won numerous awards, including the prestigious George Polk Award and numerous Project Censored Awards. He was among the only Western reporters to gain access to the Abu Ghraib prison when Saddam Hussein was in power, and his story on the emptying of the prison won a Golden Reel for "Best National Radio News Story."

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that. I never heard of the guy until I read his book. I hate to say it but I always just thought he was hack trying to push his book sales.
