Padilla Lite
A CBS news Iraqi cameraman wounded by U.S. forces as he videotaped clashes in Mosul in northern Iraq in April 2005 was detained by the U.S. military for over a year without charge or evidence.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalistssays that kind of thing has been happening a lot.
But perhaps this is all pointless because because the cameraman is going on trial April 5 and the military has a new goal of reviewing cases of detained journalists within 36 hours. More inside.

Tied with Padilla only as a general trend in the U.S. and within the current U.S. political sphere. Wiki on the CPJ.
