Well, Well, Well...
This does not surprise me.
Interesting tidbit on Pentagon Papers Case.
white had no problem upholding a conviction against the leakers:
White then went on in his opinion to explore, even encourage, the criminal prosecution of the Times and the Post on grounds of violating several sections of the Criminal Code. White specifically cited section 793(e) of 18 U.S.C., on unauthorized possession of a document relating to the national defense, as well as sections 797 (graphical representations of military installations) and 798 (code and cryptographic information), and wrote: I would have no difficulty in sustaining convictions under these sections on facts that would not justify
the imposition of a prior restraint. This, of course, is exactly the route taken by the Department of Justice in prosecuting and convicting Navy analyst Samuel Morison in the early 1980s, for leaking a U.S. satellite photo of a Soviet aircraft carrier to a London publication. Morison was subsequently pardoned by President Clinton in January 2001.
