Web site, was a finalist for a 2010
Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.
"I'm really proud of the fact
that our work exposed serious
gaps in California's oversight of
registered nurses, and that top
officials, including Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, moved quickly
to fix them:' said Ornstein, who
is president of the Association
of Health Care
Journalists
and a former
Kaiser Family
Foundation
media fellow.
"Investigative
reporting is not
about winning
Charles
prizes,
but about
Ornstein
exposing wrong-
doing and hope-
fully prompting changes. Still, it's
exciting to be recognized by peers
for the work we do."
In collaboration with Weber,
Ornstein was a lead reporter
on a series of articles in the
Los Angeles Times titled "The
Troubles at King/Drew" that won
the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Public
Service, the Robert F. Kennedy
Journalism Award and the Sigma
Delta Chi Award for public service.
Ornstein, a 1988 graduate of
Hillel Day School of Metropolitan
Detroit, lives in Glen Ridge,
N.J., with his wife, Shari, and
young sons, Miles, 3, and Jude,
9 months. His parents, Harriet
and Alexander Ornstein, live in
Southfield.
"I really trace the roots of my
journalism career to my teen-
age years in Detroit, as editor of
the Catalyst at Harrison High
School [in Farmington Hills]
and as newspaper editor for both
AZA in Mmetro Detroit and the
USY region. That's when the news
junkie in me took over and I
haven't looked back since."

Iran

Obama pressed
for sanctions.

Washington/ JTA — More than
three-quarters of the members in
both chambers of the U.S. Congress
wrote to President Obama urging
him to unilaterally sanction Iran.
The House of Representatives
letter, initiated by Reps. Jesse
Jackson Jr., D-Ill., and Mike Pence,
R-Ind., garnered 366 signato-
ries including 12 from Michigan:
Republicans Dave Camp, Vern Ehlers,
Peter Hoekstra, Thaddeus McCotter,
Candice Miller, Mike Rogers and
Fred Upton and Democrats Dale
Kildee, Sander Levin, Gary Peters,
Mark Schauer and Bart Stupak.
The Senate letter, initiated by
Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., garnered
80, including both Michigan's
Democratic senators, Carl Levin and
Debbie Stabenow.
Jackson linked the need for
sanctions to Obama's summit last
week aimed at containing the threat
of nuclear terrorism. The Obama
administration has resisted unilat-
eral sanctions, preferring to focus on
multilateral sanctions through the
U.N. Security Council.
Existing congressional sanctions
and a package of enhancements now
under consideration are much more
punitive than planned multilateral
sanctions. The U.N. sanctions would
expand the list of Iranian individu-
als and entities subject to travel and
business restrictions. The congres-
sional sanctions target third parties
that deal with Iran.
The Obama administration is
concerned that such targeting will
anger countries it wants on board
for the U.N. sanctions.
The letters support Obama's
efforts to build multinational sanc-
tions, but do not countenance a
contradiction between them and the
unilateral sanctions.
Congress passed a sanctions bill
in 1996, but no president has ever
used its sanctions. The new pack-
age would place restrictions on the
presidential prerogative to waive the
sanctions.
Versions of the bill have passed
in both houses in recent months. A
schedule is expected to reconcile the
bills and final passage.
