re: #120 albusteve

Jeffrey Alexander Sterling of O’Fallon, Mo., is accused of six counts of unauthorized disclosure of national defense information. He is also charged with unlawful retention of national defense information, unauthorized conveyance of government property, mail fraud, and obstruction of justice.

If convicted, he faces up to 120 years in prison and $2.5 million in fines.

It seems he’s another disgruntled douche…

The indictment of former CIA agent Jeffrey Sterling says he gave secrets to a reporter after becoming angry about the agency’s unwillingness to send him on undercover assignments abroad.

I don’t think this effects the Manning case either way. This stuff has always been illegal and will continue to be so.
