Support for German journalists in leak inquiry

The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has added its voice to a growing international demand for the German authorities to drop criminal proceedings against 17 journalists who quoted from leaked classified documents while covering the "rendition" of terror suspects. Reporters from several of Germany's leading newspapers are among those facing prosecution. Journalists should not be prosecuted for reporting information that is in the public interest, says Miklos Haraszti, the OSCE's media freedom representative. (Via International Herald Tribune/AP)
