Reporters in the Dock
December 26, 2003
Scientist Wen Ho Lee’s reputation was smeared by the media when he was wrongly accused of passing nuclear secrets to China in 1999. Now he wants to sue the government but to do that he needs the reporters who wrote about the case to reveal their government sources. Two of the five journalists who have been called to reveal their sources are from the New York Times. So far they are refusing to give up any information. Bob speaks with Lucy Dalglish, the Executive Director of Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
