Gregory D. Lee is a nationally syndicated columnist for the North Star Writers Group and is based in Central California's beautiful Monterey Peninsula. His weekly columns can be read on line at: www.northstarwriters.com/gregorydlee.htm. He is also a contributing editor for www.FamilySecurityMatters.org.

Greg is a retired Supervisory Special Agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and is a former instructor at the FBI Academy. He provides a wide range of consulting and expert witness services for the legal community and law enforcement agencies.

Mr. Lee's expertise covers the entire spectrum of drug law enforcement. He is a qualified expert witness who will thoroughly review both criminal and civil discovery material and provide his clients with a written case analysis based on his over 30 years of law enforcement experience. His specific areas of expertise include police procedure, informant use and management, deadly force, use of force, arrest procedures, raid planning and execution, undercover operations, physical and electronic surveillance, money laundering, drug identification, clandestine laboratories, terrorism, and investigative procedures, to name a few.

Greg literally wrote the book on drug investigations. He is the author of Global Drug Enforcement: Practical Investigative Techniques, published by CRC Press (2004). Prentice Hall publishes his other two books, Conspiracy Investigations: Terrorism, Drugs and Gangs (2005) and Practical Criminal Evidence (2006). He also wrote "The Global Drug Trade and its Nexus to Terrorism," which is chapter 11 of Volume II, Part II, of Countering Terrorism and Insurgency in the 21st Century: International Perspectives, Praeger Security International/Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc. (2007). Throughout his DEA career he wrote numerous articles for professional law enforcement publications.

He was the last Resident Agent in Charge of DEA's Karachi Office, and lived and worked throughout Pakistan between 1994 and 1998, experiencing terrorism first-hand. The office finally closed after it became too dangerous to continue operations there, even for the cowboys of DEA. In 1995, while assigned at the U.S. embassy in Islamabad, he directly participated in the arrest of Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 New York City World Trade Center bombing, collected vital evidence and later testified at his trial. At the time of his arrest, Yousef was plotting to destroy 12 U.S. airliners simultaneously over the Pacific Ocean, which would have caused the deaths of over 3,600 people, more than that experienced on 9/11. He appeared on the Discovery Channel's documentary show, The FBI Files, concerning his contributions in the arrest of Mir Aimal Kanzi, the lone terrorist who murdered two CIA employees outside their headquarters in 1993. While in Karachi, he was involved in the initial investigation of the terrorist murders of four U.S. citizen employees of the United Texas Petroleum Company, and their Pakistani driver.

Greg's last DEA assignment was at the Los Angeles Division as the Coordinator for the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces Program.

Prior to his assignment in Pakistan, Greg was an instructor at DEA's Office of Training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia where he trained many domestic and foreign law enforcement officials around the world.

In 1990, he was a counselor and graduate of the 160th Session of the FBI National Academy.

In his 36th year of service to his country, Greg is an active Reserve Chief Warrant Officer 5/Special Agent with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, better known as CID. After being called to active duty as a result of the events of September 11, he spent a year assigned to the Army Operations Center's Anti-Terrorism Operations Intelligence Cell. It was his unique experiences in the investigation of terrorism and international drug trafficking organizations that led to his assignment at the Pentagon. He has a combination of over 35 years of active and reserve military service, primarily in the criminal investigation field, and is a Subject Matter Expert on Counter-Terrorism and Counter-Drug Operations for the U.S. Army Military Police School. He has guest lectured for the Department of Law at the United States Military Academy, West Point and the Defense Intelligence Agency's Joint Military Intelligence Training Center, Washington, DC about his unique experiences in Pakistan. He is also a frequent guest of radio talk shows throughout the country.

In 2005, Mr. Lee was selected as the Lead Instructor for the U.S. Department of State's Antiterrorism Assistance Program’s 9-week "Preventing, Interdicting and Investigating Acts of Terrorism" course conducted in Islamabad, Pakistan.
