You don't understand classification or the law governing it. 1. I don't believe a journalist can be tried or convicted for disclosing classified information because the constitutional "freedom of the press" overrides the US statute related to unauthorized disclosure of classified material. I've certainly never see a journalist tried as such, except when it's uncovered they are a foreign spy. 2. Should the source of his information be discovered through legal means, that source CAN be charged, tried, and convicted for the unauthorized disclosure of classified information. And one point.. If all of those photos were actually printed out and put in a folder, ALL that would have been required was to place a Classification Cover Sheet on that folder in order to classify the entire contents of the folder. One would NOT have to individually mark each and ever photo with a classification mark.. You don't understand classification or the law governing it. Well, obviously you're not a credible source for making such a assertion.. Personally, I rely upon the NISPOM with regard to such matters.. It's the security bible... Maybe you need to read it.. tscm.com Hawk
