Report outlines problems, suggestions for access to military courts
A new
report out today outlines major problems in access to military courts and court records, and provides a list of suggestions for improving the system. The report, produced by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the Tully Center for Free Speech at Syracuse University, is based on interviews with journalists, lawyers, military officers and other experts. The study found that even though court-martials and other hearings should be open, more than half the facilities contacted would not provide information.
