Amanpour Spied On?

From Atrios: does Andrea Mitchell know something? She asked James Risen in an interview on NBC if Christiane had been spied on—a curiously specific question that ended up on the cutting room floor when NBC published a transcript. If there is something to it, the administration's PR battle just got worse. It's a short step from going after a single journalist to listening in on those who are politically adversarial. Bush is in no position to say 'trust me' here or anywhere else—like the phantom WMD, CIA prisons, Abu Ghraib and the NSA scandal, the truth will come out sooner or later.
