People who incur that duty and fail to provide adequate safeguards can be prosecuted. Publishers, on the other hand, have no duty to protect classified information—beyond a moral responsibility, which is always arguable. A publisher could argue, for example, that keeping the American people informed is a greater responsibility. More “leaking” of classified material occurs in the halls of Congress and White House staff than it does from any other source. In the Ellsberg case, Senator Mike Gravel (Alaska) released 4,100 pages of the Pentagon Papers to the Congressional Record, an unauthorized disclosure, and yet Gravel was never prosecuted, either. An effective law applies—and is applied—to everyone equally. Beyond that, the law becomes mean and small.Mustanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388694472897425202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-71879085423575478562019-04-15T07:59:55.533-05:002019-04-15T07:59:55.533-05:00A BIT OF COMIC RELIEF?
