Harman wiretap story on Olney tonight

Congressional Quarterly columnist Jeff Stein wrote the piece getting a lot of play today about Rep. Jane Harman being snagged in a National Security Agency wiretap, apparently telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee. Stein talks about the case with Warren Olney tonight on Which Way, L.A.? at 7:30 on KCRW. Also on: Bee columnist Dan Walters and Democratic strategist Bill Carrick talking about the May 19 ballot measures, and LAT reporter Phil Willon on the mayor's budget proposal.

At KPCC too: Stein was on with Patt Morrison this afternoon. Audio
