>"suggested that the espionage laws in question had been written to apply to government officials who leaked classified information and not to journalists and newspapers that might have published it."That reminds me of what the former Gov of Louisiana (Presently Incarcerated) said about bribery.

"It was illegal for them to bribe me. It wasn't illegal for me to accept the money though."- Edwin Edwards Unfortunately, this was literally true with respect to Louisiana law. The Louisiana legislature had taken care never to pass a law incriminating their acceptance of bribes.
It still may be true today.
