Journalists and The Hague

Former Washington Post reporter Jonathan Randal won a landmark legal battle today. Randal had been subpoenaed by the War Crimes Tribunal to testify about an interview with a Bosnian Serb official accused of ethnic cleansing. The decision gives war correspondents some protection from being compelled to testify in the international court. NPR's Laura Sydell reports.
