Federal judge orders Pentagon to halt escort requirement for journalists.
U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman ruled that a Pentagon policy requiring journalists to be accompanied by an official escort violates the First Amendment. The preliminary injunction was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by The New York Times, though it was not immediately clear whether the order applied to all journalists or only to the Times. The Pentagon stated it will appeal the decision.
