The Pentagon meanwhile has banned four journalists from covering military commissions at Guantánamo Bay for reporting the military interrogator’s name. The ban applies to Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald and three other reporters with Toronto-based newspapers. The interrogator’s name has already been widely published in previous news reports. ACLU deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer said, “That reporters are being punished for disclosing information that has been publicly available for years is nothing short of absurd…If allowed to stand, this decision will discourage legitimate reporting and add yet another entry to the long list of reasons why the military commissions ought to be shut down for good.”
