Which Way, L.A.?

Republicans, the WSJ, NYT and National Security

Hosted by Warren Olney Jun. 30, 2006
The Republican majority in Congress has passed a resolution condemning "certain media organizations" for disclosing how the Bush Administration follows terrorist money.  Today's Wall Street Journal weighs in with an editorial attacking the New York Times for "obstructing" the war on terror.  But in a Times op-ed, former national security aides say the paper just printed "a secret the terrorists already knew."  The argument is as old as the First Amendment: when does a free press endanger national security?  Are politicians bashing the media for political gain?   We talk with journalists, journalists who cover the journalists and media ethicists.  (An extended version of this discussion originally aired earlier today on To the Point.)
