In 1997, he went to work for the ''Los Angeles Times''. While at that paper, he covered local, national and international news, opening the newspaper's first bureau in Bogota, Colombia. Miller was briefly held prisoner by the leftist Colombian guerrilla group known as the FARC, or Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, an episode later documented in a (short animated news feature ). Two of his reporters were later held captive by a second Colombian leftist group, the ELN, or Ejército de Liberación Nacional. Miller's investigative reporting in Colombia uncovered that a contractor for an American oil company, Occidental Petroleum, had helped to coordinate the bombing of civilians by the Colombian Air Force of a small town in northeastern Colombia which left 17 dead. His coverage of the Santo Domingo bombing led to the U.S. suspending military aid to the Colombian Air Force and to a judgement by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights condemning the Colombian government. Miller became a national correspondent for the Los Angeles Times based in Washington, D.C. While there, Miller served as the only journalist in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to covering the Iraqi reconstruction. Miller published a book on the subject, ''Blood Money: Wasted Billions, Lost Lives and Corporate Greed in Iraq.'' One reviewer called it one of the "indispensable" books documenting the war, in a trilogy that included George Packer's ''Assassins' Gate'' and Thomas Ricks' ''Fiasco.'' In 2008, Miller was one of the founding employees of ProPublica, an independent, non-profit start-up dedicated to investigative reporting. While at ProPublica, Miller has published investigative projects with many of the country's leading news organizations, including the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek, Salon, National Public Radio, This American Life, ABC News 20/20 and PBS' Frontline.
