She was threatened with jail for withholding transcripts of an interview she did with one of the James Byrd dragging defendants. CBS went to court and they eventually turned over the information (Rather was named as well for refusing to release the unedited video tape). They lost the case.
She also appeared with Seymour Hersh on the Charlie Rose show, just prior to the Abu Ghraib story breaking.
There isn't much easily found information on her. I will keep digging later today. I need to leave for a couple of hours, but I am not giving up on this.

Patterico shoots down a promising pro-Kerry Web conspiracy theory--namely that the potential forgery of the CBS Bush guard documents was spotted so quickly on the Web that the person who spotted it ("Buckhead," poster #47 at Free Republic) must have been tipped off in advance. That would suggest that any forgery was planted, presumably by pro-Bush forces. But it seems this whole theory, promoted in this morning's ABC News Note, was based on a misreading of time stamps by ABC. In reality, Buckhead had a couple of hours to come up with his post--something he confirms in an email to Patterico. ... ABC has corrected its mistake (without withdrawing the now seemingly groundless insinuation). NPR hasn't corrected the error, according to Patterico, and David Brock's Media Matters still posts it. ... P.S.: Media Matters might want to decide if a) the documents are authentic, as argued at the top of their Web page or b) the documents are forgeries planted by Republicans, as argued at the bottom of their Web page. Lawyers are allowed to plead in the alternative, but a) and b) can't both be true, and the evidence for each of those propositions is also evidence against the other one. 1:10 A.M.

Appreciate it- I'd dig myself, but have hurricane preparations ( and a leaky roof! ) to try to wrap up today. Thanks!
