[act.:] Military Pundit Sues Fox News Over Al Qaeda Tape: A wartime pundit for Fox News Channel has sued the cable news network in Los Angeles, claiming he was not compensated for a videotape of an al Qaeda training camp that Fox aired repeatedly as an exclusive.
Commentator and former Green Beret J. Keith "Jack" Idema also alleges that Fox agreed not to copy the videotape and to return the original to him, but has broken both agreements.
A spokesman for Fox, a unit of News Corp. Ltd. , said the network does not comment on pending litigation.
