...into all sorts of journalists, and I usually said I was whatever my cover was. But you were not obligated to write back and say, "I ran into X journalist in Damascus, and we were at a cocktail party, and we are going to get together for lunch." It was not something you had to report. Unauthorized contact with a journalist is a new standard. You cannot be assigned overseas and not run into a U.S. journalist.
