HeadlineJan 03, 2007

And this update on a story from yesterday’s broadcast: A judge has ruled independent journalist Sarah Olson does not need to testify at Thursday’s pretrial hearing for First Lieutenant Ehren Watada. Watada is facing six years in prison over his refusal to deploy to Iraq. Olson is challenging her subpoena to testify based on her interview with Watada earlier this year. On Tuesday, Olson was told she will not need to appear at the pretrial hearing but will remain on the prosecution’s witness list.
