One of the latest developments in clean-up efforts in the Gulf is a controversial safety zone announced last week. The 65 square-foot area effectively blocks reporters and photographers from getting close enough to do their jobs. Off-duty police officers hired by BP to run security details have also been criticized for harassing journalists trying to cover the story. BP now says efforts to stop the spill may pay off in the next few weeks, but what’s happening to the flow of information about the disaster? Also, terror suspects with links to al Qaeda are arrested in Norway, and echoes of the Cold War. A spy swap is underway. Guest host Sara Terry sits in for a vacationing Warren Olney.
