Is a journalist the secret informant? - Canada
A lawyer for German deal-maker Karlheinz Schreiber named prominent journalist Stevie Cameron as a confidential RCMP informant last year during two dramatic days of secret hearings over a helicopter-procurement case.

"Tell me that Stevie Cameron was not part of some kind of police investigation," lawyer Edward Greenspan demanded of Crown counsel Michael Bernstein. "Tell me that she wasn't. Tell me that she has no status with the police. Tell me that! Just tell me that she doesn't."

Ms. Cameron, the author of several hard-hitting exposés about the case, vehemently denied Mr. Greenspan's assertion Friday that she is the mysterious informant.
