Reporters refuse to testify at court-martial

Two freelance journalists are fighting demands by the US army to testify at the court-martial of a soldier who refused to go to Iraq. California reporters Sarah Olson and Dahr Jamail have been ordered to testify next week in a case against against Lieutenant Ehren Watada, who is charged with missing troop movement and four counts of conduct unbecoming of an officer after giving an interview criticising the Bush administration and the Iraq war. The reporters are refusing to testify, asserting that the subpoenas threaten press freedom. (Via Press Enterprise)
