Opponents of shield law point to Wikileaks scandal
shield from C1 MICHAEL TEMCHINE FOR THE WASHINGTON POST MADHATTER: This is a new-ish spot that has been pulling in crowds and is definitely “interesting.”
n this week’s Going Out Guide chat, the Gurus took your questions about places to eat on a Sunday, dancing to ’90s jams, great spots to grab lunch in Dupont Circle and more. Check out the highlights below, and don’t forget to join the Gurus for their Got Plans? chat every Thursday at 1 p.m. at
washingtonpost.com. Sunday Fun-day: My husband and I both have Monday off and want to have a fabulous dinner on Sunday, but all of our favorites (Palena, Obelisk, Source) are closed. Where’s a great place to get dinner (any cuisine) and after-dinner drinks on a Sunday? Bonus for restaurants with half-priced bottle specials or something similar. Justin Rude: You could try the new Spanish restaurant Estadio and get both dinner and excellent drinks. Staying in the same ownership group, you could also hit Proof, then walk up the street to The Passenger. Another trendy option is Kushi Izakaya & Sushi; they have an impressive Sake list and a fun menu of signature cocktails.

Easy like Sunday morning I
’90s Dance Party: I had a fantastic time at the ’90s dance party at the 9:30 Club a couple of weekends ago. Do you know of any upcoming similar events or any bars/clubs that play similar music? Fritz Hahn: The monthly Peach Pit party at Dahlak is a favorite. (The next one is on the 26th.) It’s all-’90s, as you might imagine from the 90210-inspired name. This Saturday, DJ Lil’E, who usually hosts the alternative-heavy ’80s party on the Black Cat’s backstage, is hosting a “bizarro” ’90s version. She’s a solid selector, and it could be fun. But you’re honestly not going to beat the No Scrubs party just for ’90s guilty pleasures.
Dupont for lunch: Kind of a basic question. I will be in Dupont Circle on Saturday and am looking for a reasonably priced, casual but interesting place to have lunch. Any cuisine is OK. Can you suggest a few options, and in particular, any new places? I don’t get to the city on the weekends much and don’t really know
what’s good around there. Lavanya Ramanathan: A new-ish spot that has been pulling in crowds is Madhatter; definitely the “interesting” you’re looking for. Bistro Du Coin is probably on the pricey side, but the French vibe makes it a popular spot.
Justin Rude: I’ll second both of those suggestions and add Scion for its awesome burger and playful menu. Brunch/Lunch: Do you know of a brunch place that also serves lunch dishes? Noon or later start time. Some of my buddies don’t like the standard eggs/pancakes/french toast. Lavanya Ramanathan: You didn’t say where, so I’ll just give you my favorite. The main reason I bother getting up on Sunday is for brunch at Bourbon. Surely your friends can’t argue with tater tots, burgers and mac-n-cheese? Take note: This is brunch with a whole lotta drinkin’ going on. Give in and get a bloody mary, at the very least. For more information, search for any of the boldfaced terms on

tection wouldn’t apply in all cases, how- ever. In matters involving terrorism and national security, government lawyers could ask a judge to remove the shield. The bill passed the House and a Senate panel last fall, and it may come up for Senate debate after the August recess. Supporters of the bill point out that such a law wouldn’t affect Wikileaks. As a “virtual” organization, with no fixed address or country of origin, Wikileaks isn’t subject to U.S. law, meaning it couldn’t be protected or subjected to dis- closure by an American court. Nevertheless, Wikileaks seems to be overshadowing the discussion. “It’s true that some members of Con- gress are concerned” in the wake of Wiki- leaks’ disclosures, says Kevin Smith, president of the Society of Professional Journalists, which has been advocating for a shield law for years. “There’s a guilt- by-association factor here.” But opponents of the legislation say it gives judges too much leeway to deter- mine what’s in the “public interest” when it comes to protecting journalists in cases involving national se- curity. They fear that investi- gators would have to release sensitive information to convince a judge to force a reporter to reveal his sourc- es. For these reasons, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary com- mittee, has called the bill “deeply and fundamentally flawed.”
One Republican aide, who was not authorized by his boss to speak publicly about the issue, said, “The Wikileaks contro- versy highlights some of the significant national security concerns about the shield legislation.” As a result, he pre- dicted the measure would not move for- ward this year. To avoid having Wikileaks color floor
debate on the bill this fall, Sens. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Dianne Fein- stein (D-Calif.) have signaled that they will draft an amendment that would spe- cifically exempt organizations like it. Although specifics of the amendment
have not been released, supporters say it is likely to deny protection to organiza- tions that simply disseminate confiden- tial or classified material in raw form, while extending it to news organizations that vet documents and do contextual re- porting on sensitive materials. Such a distinction was evident in the Wikileaks episode. While Wikileaks dumped its cache online in an unfiltered manner, the New York Times, the Guard- ian newspaper of Britain and Der Spiegel magazine of Germany used the material as the basis for news articles and analy-
sis. The Times was even praised for seek- ing guidance from administration offi- cials to ensure that its disclosures did not jeopardize lives in the field. The shield legislation is backed by 70 media companies and news organiza- tions, including The Washington Post Co., the New York Times Co. and the ma- jor TV news networks. The law is necessary to stop “the esca-
lation of subpoenas” against journalists by prosecutors, civil litigants and crimi- nal defendants, said Paul Boyle, senior vice president of public policy for the Newspaper Association of America, a trade group that is part of the media coa- lition. Without the bill’s protections, he said, journalists will become “the first stop rather than the last” in efforts to ob- tain information in legal cases. This could create a potential chilling effect on investigative reporting, he said, as whistleblowers stay silent rather than risk exposure and news organizations pull back in fear of protracted legal costs. Boyle said that would-be leakers will
“There’s a guilt-by- association factor
here.” — Kevin Smith, president of the Society of Professional Journalists
take more material to groups such as Wi- kileaks since such organizations cannot be forced to give up their sources. A shield law, however, would give whistleblowers greater confidence that their identi- ties won’t become public, predisposing them to work with news organizations that exercise editorial con- trol, he said. Prosecutors and defen- dants’ lawyers have used subpoenas to force report- ers to reveal confidential in- formation in a number of high-profile cases, including the disclosure of the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie
Plame Wilson. Not all of these cases involve state se-
crets or national security issues. In 2006, for example, federal prosecutors went to court to compel San Francisco Chronicle reporters Lance Williams and Mark Fai- naru-Wada to reveal the source of leaked testimony by baseball slugger Barry Bonds and others to a grand jury investi- gating a San Francisco area laboratory suspected of illegal steroid distribution. In 2007, a bioweapons expert, Steven J. Hatfill, subpoenaed reporters from nine news organizations, including The Washington Post, to force them to reveal who in the government had identified Hatfill as “a person of interest” in the 2001 anthrax poisoning case. Boyle acknowledged that “there will be some situations where people are publishing information that’s not in the public interest. In those cases, a court can decide that there’s no shield. We’re just saying: ‘Let’s establish rules so that everyone knows where and when a confi- dential source is protected.’ ”
