I don't know gave them to CBS, but whoever it was, he's guilty of violating the law. Quite simply: Wrong Quite simply: Yes.. You're wrong because there is no indication that at the time those photos were taken there was any classification guidance that made them classified. None of the photos that I've seen were shown as being stamped Secret/Noforn. The incidents were classified some time after the fact. Specific copies of photos that were not classified legally remain unclassified. The only legal case the government can make in a violation of the law, is when copies of photos that were classified by an authority were then distributed. If not, then you have to ask yourself why former Ambassador Wilson is so pssed off about his CIA wife's cover having been exposed?* That's a clear violation of law. His wife as a CIA operative was most certainly classified at the moment that she became an operative. It would be ridiculous to think that the CIA did not classify her role at some future point in time. jttmab
