What exactly is the difference between what Pollard did and what the NY Times did? The NY Times' actions effectively constitute espionage, and that in a particularly arrogant and blatant manner. What could an enemy spy hope to accomplish more effectively, when the problem of getting information back to enemy leaders is solved by simply publishing that information publicly?
I understand your point and agree
But what the Courts will allow and think are not the same thing
Peter King On the radio yesterday said that the NYT writer should be hauled before a grand jury and be compelled to reveal the source of the classified information.
If they don't, throw them in jail until they do.
As I'm not a lawyer, is something like that possible to do?
