I am actually writing a law review note on whether or not the New York Times can be prosecuted for publishing classified information under the Espionage Act. As of now, after doing careful research, I am leaning toward saying the statutes can apply to the New York Times' actions and that such a reading of the statute would withstand constitutional scrutiny. It is close, but I think it can be done. The problem is the Bush administration doesn't have the balls to do so. As far as government employees go, the espionage statutes can not be any clearer. According to United States v. Morison (defendant was half government employee / half journalist), such a prosecution is clearly allowable under the statutes and such a prosecution is also constitutional
