CBS SUED OVER '60 MINUTES' REPORT
John Mintz, Washington Post, 6/6/03
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21813-2003Jun5.html

The woman code-named "Sarah" appeared on CBS's "60 Minutes" May 4 wearing a
red wig and a prosthetic nose. Her voice was electronically altered as she
recalled growing up a Jew in Iraq, where her father was executed as an
alleged Israeli spy, before moving to the United States to become a private
investigator pursuing possible Muslim terrorists.

Her new book, "Terrorist Hunter," documents her career of sneaking into
mosques and Islamic conferences with tape recorders strapped to her body
underneath her burqas. She wrote the book under the name "Anonymous,"
saying she feared she would be assassinated if Islamic hit men learned her
identity.

But yesterday some of her investigative targets became plaintiffs, and
announced that they knew who she was. They filed an $80 million defamation
lawsuit in D.C. Superior Court, against not only CBS, but also Rita Katz,
an Iraqi-born private investigator who tracks Muslim activists and radicals
who she says support terrorism.....
