AIPAC ruling a blow to press freedom
A court ruled for the first time Thursday that the Espionage Act can be used to prosecute private citizens who disseminate classified information
Glenn Greenwald [2006-08-10]

  • The basis for that claim is the NYT article

    From The New York Times, March 5, 2006 article on the AIPAC prosecution:

    "Federal prosecutors are using the Espionage Act for the first time against Americans who are not government officials, do not have a security clearance and, by all indications, are not a part of a foreign spy operation."

    The link to that article is provided in the post linked to in the first paragraph.
