Mary Louise Kelly reports from London that former British spy David Shayler returned home from exile in France today and was promptly arrested. Shayler has been charged under Britain's official secrets act. He has accused the MI-6 intelligence service of plotting to kill Libyan leader Moammar Gaddhafi -- a charge the British government denies.
