REPORTER HELD AFTER WRITING OF POT DEALER
Police in England on Monday arrested a journalist who says she brought
marijuana from the son of a British Cabinet minister, prompting an angry
protest from her editor.
"This is an outrageous decision which is, in my opinion, specifically
designed to deflect attention from the criminal activities of a Cabinet
minister's son to the entirely justifiable methods deployed by a newspaper
to uncover them," Mirror editor Piers Morgan said in a statement.
