Journalists and Liberty

Kidnapped journalist Richard Butler has been released. The freelance producer, working for the CBS news magazine show 60 Minutes, had been kidnapped in Basra two months ago. He has, according to Iraqi officials, been doing fine since his rescue.

Meanwhile, New York Times correspondent Barry Bearak is expected to appear in a Zimbabwean court today to answer to charges related to his coverage of the recent elections there. Bearak was arrested April 3 in Harare.
