Citizens, including reporters, are not bound by intelligence disclosure laws. Reporting, regardless of what is reported, would never be considered treasonous unless one wants to completely gut the first amendment.
Cite the law supporting this please. I can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theater because it might cause harm to people in the ensuing rush to the exits. How can reporting information that would cause grievous and irreparable harm to a nation or it's citizens if that information was released to the enemy be protected?

The first amendment is the citation.
You CAN yell fire in a crowded theater if there actually is a fire. If there isn't, then it ceases to become free speech, so there isn't constitutional liberties being eroded by your arrest.
You are making an assumption that anything in this book would be useful to the enemy. I doubt that highly.
