The indefiniate detention with charges is abhorrent; I fully agree that the man should be charged and tried or released.

However, I don't see what it has to do with freedom of the press, except that he happens to work for the AP. Is there any evidence he was arrested to keep him from publishing some damning photograph? If not, I don't see how his occupation is significant.
