Reporter's Money Trail


  _____  


USA Today is standing by its report that BellSouth and Verizon were among
the telecommunications giants cooperating with the Bush administration's
tracking of millions of phone calls, despite denials from the companies. Now
the reporter who broke the story, Leslie Cauley, has come under criticism
from conservative activists who accuse her of political bias. They point to
records showing that in 2003 Cauley gave the maximum $2,000 contribution to
Dick Gephardt's Democratic presidential campaign.

USA Today policy says that staffers "should not openly support political
campaigns." But at the time, spokesman Steve Anderson says, Cauley "was
between jobs and was writing a book."
