The United States, due to an "overly broad and abusive interpretation of national security needs," fell below El Salvador and Romania in a world press freedom ranking released Wednesday.
The US fell 13 positions to 46th place in this year’s World Press
Freedom Index, produced since 2002 by the Paris-based Reporters Without
Borders. The organization said the main reason the US dropped so far in
the rankings was because of its dogged efforts to "track down
whistleblowers and the sources of leaks."
