So when intelligence sources approached New York Times reporter James Risen in late 2004 with evidence that the Bush Administration was running a covert domestic-spying program, Risen says he "wasn't sure what to believe." As Risen and Times colleague Eric Lichtblau looked into the story, more whistle-blowers came forward, convincing the reporters that the eavesdropping claims were credible. At that point Risen asked a few "very senior" government officials what they knew about the spying program. "They would look at me with these blank expressions, and say, 'No--that can't be going on,'" Risen told TIME. That's when Risen knew he was sitting on a major scoop.Tue, 03 Jan 2006 21:06:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/12/09/padilla.accomplice/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/12/09/padilla.accomplice/index.htmlThe Pentagon recently filed court papers identifying a 27-year-old Ethiopian national as an accomplice of terror suspect Jose Padilla.Fri, 09 Dec 2005 12:00:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/06/25/terrorist.suspect.charged/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/06/25/terrorist.suspect.charged/index.htmlA man who is acquainted with alleged terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and an "all-star cast of terrorists" has been charged with lying to counterterrorism investigators, a senior Justice Department official said Friday.Fri, 25 Jun 2004 23:51:00 EDT
