Newsvine - Sudan Accuses Pulitzer Winner of Spying:
"A Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune was charged in a Sudanese court Saturday with espionage and other crimes.
"Paul Salopek, 44, was charged in a 40-minute hearing with espionage, passing information illegally and writing 'false news,' the Tribune reported on its Web site. His driver and interpreter, both Chadian nationals, faced the same charges."
Given the outrages committed by the Sudanese government, the arrest of three people doesn't seem to stack up much, except that these are people who might spread the word to the rest of the world. We need a free press especially where freedom is most theatened.
