HeadlineNov 02, 2004

Meanwhile in Palm Beach County Florida, a widely published investigative journalist was arrested Sunday for taking photos of voters waiting in line to vote. According to news reports, the county’s sheriff’s deputy tackled, punched and arrested the journalist, James Henry. Police accused Henry of breaking a new county rule barring reporters from interviewing or photographing voters lined up outside the polls. The 54-year-old Henry is a Harvard-educated lawyer and economist who has written for the New York Times, Washington Post and other publications.
