| Eric Holder |
Attorney General Eric Holder expressed concern on Thursday
about how the Department of Justice has handled recent media investigations at
an off-the-record meeting with leading representatives of the press, according
to a story by Dylan Byers at Politico.
At the session, Holder and Deputy Attorney General James
Cole expressed a willingness to revise the guidelines for such investigations,
journalists present at the 'off-the-record' get-together.
But Holder stopped short of offering any concrete changes to
the guidelines. Instead, the Attorney General sought to assure the journalists
that he and the DOJ were trying to seek a balance between the demands of
national security and the free flow of information, and sought suggestions from
the journalists on how those changes might be achieved.
