Ben Bradlee, the longtime executive editor of The Washington Post during some of its proudest moments, was remembered as a 'journalistic warrior' Wednesday during his funeral at Washington National Cathedral. Bradlee, who died last week at age 93, was at the helm of the Washington Post for almost 25-years and was known for his forensic search for the truth in his reporters work and from public officials. His funeral drew colleagues past and present including his equally legendary former reporters, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, who with Bradlee helped expose the Watergate scandal in 1972 which eventually brought down President Richard Nixon.
