Mr. Wiley has lectured in 50 states and on 5 continents.  He has reported from 100 countries and covered 11 wars, including four terms in Vietnam.  Wiley has reported for NBC, UPI, the London Express and numerous other U.S. and foreign news media.  His search for facts led to his arrest eight times by secret police, including the KGB, and imprisonment in a Cuban dungeon while he was a correspondent for New York City radio station WOR.  He went into Afghanistan, with the mujahideen, during the war against the Soviet Union.  Later during a tour of Kosovo, his visits to troops from many nations included the Russian 13th Tactical Group.

A graduate of New York University, his freelance articles and photographs have appeared in numerous publications, including the New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek, National Review and Time.  He has appeared on hundreds of network and local programs, including many times on CNN Crossfire and C-Span.

Wiley helped establish guidelines for a free press in Mongolia, was a speaker for the White House Public Outreach Group, lectured in New Zealand at the Civil Defence Academy and played a major role at international conferences.  He frequently addresses military audiences in the USA and abroad including the Naval War College, the Defense Intelligence Agency school, the Air Force school for its top NCO's, the Navy Postgraduate School, CincPac, the UK intelligence school and many others.  In fact, Wiley was the keynote speaker at a Jane's two-day conference in Washington on homeland defense and terrorism, and will be coming to GCC after lecturing at the Coast Guard Academy earlier this Spring.

Wiley speaks, every year, at dozens of colleges, high schools and other youth audiences throughout the country.  Included are annual talks at UC Berkeley (up to 800 students) and to almost 2000 of the country's top high school seniors at Boy's State in New Jersey and Wisconsin.
