Is Mukasey a reporter's best friend at DOJ?

By Mark Obbie

ADVERTISEMENTS
Intriguing hints in this New York Sun story by Josh Gerstein that Attorney General Michael Mukasey has set the bar higher for prosecutors seeking to question journalists about sources. The story's a bit confusing, and the hints come at the end of the piece. But what it adds up to, evidently, is a glimpse of an internal debate over tactics affecting shield-law-lacking journalists in Mukasey's DOJ -- with the AG vetoing more aggressive tactics. The reporter in the hot seat is the Washington Times' William Gertz. Let's hope that more filings and on-site reporting reveal more about what's going on. (Via How Appealing)
