		<description><![CDATA[(WASHINGTON) — The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative&#8217;s top executive called a &#8220;massive and unprecedented intrusion&#8221; into how news organizations gather the news. The records obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls, and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. In all, the government seized those records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices whose phone records were targeted on a wide array of stories about government and other matters. In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of all copies. &#8220;There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP&#8217;s newsgathering operations, and disclose information about AP&#8217;s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know,&#8221; Pruitt said. The government would not say why it sought the records. U.S. officials have previously said in public testimony that the U.S. attorney in Washington is conducting a criminal investigation into who may have leaked information contained in a May 7, 2012, AP story about a foiled terror plot. The story disclosed details of a CIA operation in Yemen that stopped<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=95510&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The FBI and the Obama Administration will face hard questions in coming days over interviews with the alleged perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombings, one with the surviving suspect now in custody and another with his now deceased older brother that took place two years ago. After a four-day manhunt that ended with the death overnight Thursday of Tamerlan Tsarnaev and the capture Friday night of his younger brother Dzhokhar, Boston&#8217;s relief had not even dissipated before Washington&#8217;s debates kicked in. &#8220;We remain under threat from radical Islam and we hope the Obama Administration will seriously consider the enemy-combatant option,&#8221; said GOP Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain, referring to their preference that Dzhokhar, an American citizen, not be read Miranda rights or given the right to counsel. The Administration has preferred to try terror suspects in civilian, Article 3 courts and abide by their rules, especially when dealing with American citizens. Obama suggested the Justice Department and the FBI would have the lead, rather than the military, in detaining, interrogating and trying Dzhokhar. &#8220;It&#8217;s important that we do this right,&#8221; Obama said in a statement released late Friday. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we have investigations. That&#8217;s why we relentlessly gather facts. That&#8217;s why we have courts,&#8221; Obama said. (PHOTOS: Joy and Relief in Boston After Bombing Suspect&#8217;s Arrest) In fact, the FBI doesn&#8217;t immediately need to read Dzhokhar his Miranda rights. Under the &#8220;public-safety&#8221; exception, cops can interrogate a suspect about imminent threats for some time before reading them their rights. One recent precedent came with the arrest of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called underwear bomber, who was interrogated for several hours without being read his rights. Also, Democrats will no doubt remind their GOP critics that British citizen Richard Reid, the &#8220;shoe bomber,&#8221; was tried in Article 3 courts by the Bush Administration. The bigger problem for the administration comes not from the current interviews with Dzhokhar, but with the interviews conducted two years ago with his now deceased brother, Tamerlan. Since he was identified as a suspect Thursday, there<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=93544&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
