Code and Dagger is a news website that aims to provide reporting and analysis on the security and foreign affairs stories of today, give some context from yesterday and, occasionally, tell some interesting tales from way, way back.

The site was founded in 2017 by Lee Ferran, an award-winning national security reporter and editor. He’s currently the managing editor of Breaking Defense. Prior to starting Code and Dagger, Lee was a reporter and editor in the ABC News investigative unit.
