Subject: Re: [IP] more on Could NY Times face a treason trial?
I would be interested in someone pointing out the exact section of
the US Code under which the NY Times might be prosecuted so we can
all look at it instead of further speculation on the issue.
My current understanding is that treason requires action with
knowledge and intent to cause harm to the country. It would seem
difficult to make that case about the NY Times incident. If
anything, they could claim they were trying to protect the
Constitution by their disclosure. However, I am always willing to
learn something new!
