This is from the Washington Examiner website:
"Americans discovered last spring that the Justice Department had wiretapped the office and home phones of Associated Press writers and editors during a national security investigation. The same department later named a journalist in court papers as a co-conspirator to a crime, essentially for just doing his job.
