The Pentagon's Law of War Manual, Revisited

On the Media | Jan 14, 2016

In August, Bob spoke with Pentagon Deputy General Counsel Charles A. Allen about their recently released Law of War Manual and specifically about language in the manual that could imperil the lives and ethics of reporters in the field. We were assured that the Pentagon was reconsidering the language and guaranteed a follow-up in a few weeks' time. Five months later, we have that follow-up. Bob speaks again to Deputy General Counsel Allen as well as to Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook, who both say that section will be revised in the first quarter of this year.
