On Wednesday, 28 March 2001, National Public Radio aired an 8-minute segment on the U.S. Navy's outrageous conduct in the case of PO1C King. That segment is archived in RealPlayer format on the NPR website, from which the following excerpt, with links to the audio files, is provided. I highly recommend listening to it:
QuoteCaptive Navy Officer Released (14.4 (http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/me/20010328.me.08.ram) | 28.8 (http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/me/20010328.me.08.rmm)) -- NPR's Barbara Bradley reports on the case of Navy Petty Officer Daniel King, who was held for 500 days on suspicion of spying for Russia without being charged. A military judge ordered King's release, saying the Navy didn't have enough evidence to try him. During King's lengthy detention, from September of 1999 to earlier this month, he was not allowed to have a lawyer. The Navy says King waived his right to legal representation. It's defending itself against criticism that it conducted interrogations that lasted for up to 19 continuous hours, over a 26-day period. The lawyers King now has maintain that the Navy hid audio tapes that supported his claims of innocence. (8:35)
