Anyway, I don't really see the problem with this, people don't have a constitutional right to see a reporter while in prison.

They do have a right to see their lawyers and I'm sure all the ACLU lawyers working to free these people would be screaming bloody murder if there was anything nefarious going on there.

Bernard V. Kleinman, a New York lawyer who represents Yousef, said he is the only person allowed to visit his client. He said Yousef often spends days at a time without leaving his cell, declining an hour of solitary exercise time because of body-cavity searches performed before and after each session.
