Federal Judge Slams Pentagons New Press Policy, Calling it Weird and Kafkaesque
A federal judge has criticized the Pentagons latest press policy, labeling it as weird and Kafkaesque during a hearing on Monday. The policy, which was rolled out last fall, has been rejected by several outlets, including the New York Times, leading to reporters being blocked from basic areas like the library. The judge expressed concern over the rules requiring escorts everywhere and punishing journalists for using anonymous sources. The Pentagon defended the policy, stating it targets leaks of classified information and aims to prevent staff from being pressured into revealing secrets. The judge ordered government lawyers to explain the legal basis for the new policy, especially in light of the old one being struck down.
