Deputies slam Minister Kaczynski for Rzeczpospolita investigation

The Minister of Justice, Lech Kaczynski, has organized a special group of prosecuting attorneys to lead an investigation into several stories produced by the daily Rzeczpospolita. It is said the minister is seeking to determine evidence that some texts written by the the paper's journalists were inspired by the state's special services, or intelligence arm of the government. According to deputies on the Sejm Commission for special services, the investigation is a blatant transgression of the law. Members of the commission announced yesterday after a conference that minister Kaczynski was not able to present any evidence to confirm his claim that special services were in fact in any way involved in the matter. Law makers of all parties have criticized Kaczynski for taking these actions. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.D.
