Pentagon to Rescind Rules on Journalists at Gitmo
-------------------------------------------------



In news from Guatánamo, a coalition of news organizations are calling on
the Pentagon to rescind part of its rules on reporting at the military
base. The rules dictate how photos can be taken, who can be interviewed,
and even what reporters can write in their notebooks. In May, the
Pentagon expelled four reporters for publishing the name of an Army
interrogator whose identity was already widely known. The ban on three
of the reporters has since been lifted.
