Yahoo Hearing Starts Late ... For Good Reason

Tuesday's House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Yahoo's involvement in the imprisonment of a Chinese journalist got off to a late start because Chairman Tom Lantos had to take an important call.
When the California Democrat, who prides himself on his timeliness, settled into his high-backed chair, he explained that the delay was due to a "lengthy conversation" with Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf.
Lantos apologized to his witnesses, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and General Counsel Michael Callahan, noting: "I thought it was important to continue that conversation." Read about the hearing in Technology Daily's PM Edition.
