Attention all: individuals without clearance (e.g., journos) are not subject to prosecution regarding classified materials.
However, cleared leakers are subject to various terms of imprisonment and fines, depending upon the statute.
And I hope these CIA and NSA leakers are prosecuted to the max.
Rant on: 99.99 percent of cleared people respect and comply with the terms of their clearance, even to the point (in the old NSA) of not telling their families what they do for a living. The remaining .01 percent who talk to the press and whine and complain are breaking their legal and moral commitments to maintain secrecy. If they have a problem they should be going to agency counsel and not to the Wash Post or NYT. It is obscene.
Rant off.
Can they be charged with knowing receipt of classified materials?
