PENTAGON POLICE GRAB TAPE FROM FOX NEWSMAN

The FOX staffer was ordered to turn over the videotape.
When he balked, he was handcuffed.
His camera was immediately seized and the tape was confiscated.

"He was subsequently released with his camera but the Pentagon is refusing to return the tape," FOX's Brit Hume explained to viewers.

Last time I checked, yellow journalism isn't illegal...
Maybe they'll force them to use supermarket checkout lines as their only outlet.
Edit: Damn that liberal military! I knew it was the liberals!

I couldn't find anything about this on the Fox News website.. you'd think they would mention something like this... anyone else pursue this story any further?

A second side to the story is always nice.
I was watching CNN today and a representative at the whitehouse (that chick) said that there are clearly signs that mark no video taping. This guy broke the law plain and clear regardless of the benvolence of his intentions.
