National Press Club Condemns Pentagon Barring of Reporters
The National Press Club condemned Monday a recent decision by Defense Department officials to ban four reporters from covering military commission proceedings at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The journalists were banned for reporting the name of a witness, even though the person's name was already on the public record.
"The Pentagon decision to bar these reporters is unwarranted, given that the information was already widely known," said Alan Bjerga, president of the National Press Club. "This action serves no purpose other than preventing experienced reporters from doing their jobs."
