 closest category I could find....ht to hotairFour British Broadcasting Corp. journalists were among seven men arrested in Ireland in connection with an investigation into paramilitary activity, the BBC said Sunday. The news organization said the journalists were working on a current affairs program when they were arrested by Irish police Saturday. Ireland's police confirmed that seven men between the ages of 30 and 48 were in custody but declined to provide further details. The BBC said the arrests took place in County Donegal, which neighbors Northern Ireland. Its website said the men had "full editorial authority under the BBC's guidelines" for their work. A BBC spokeswoman said that means they had approval for what they were doing. She refused to say anything else about the arrests. "under BBC guidelines" - that doesn't make me feel comfy, Auntie.
