This case seems to be of value to the list. Ex-CIA Officer John Kiriakou on Tuesday pleaded guilty to disclosing the name of a CIA figure to former ABC News journalist Matthew Cole. The indictment against Kiraiakou released in April indicated that Federal authorities had obtained emails between Kiriakou and three journalists including Cole and another ABC News journalist along with Scott Shane of The New York Times. The indictment also indicates that authorities intercepted a subsequent email by Cole (with information from Kiriakou) to a defense investigator with attorneys for terror suspects being held in Guantanamo. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/24/us/former-cia-officer-pleads-guilty-in-lea... http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2012/04/more-journalists-linke... No case better underscores the need for U.S. journalists covering national security to start practicing digital security. More information may or may not become available. I'd welcome any thoughts here. Thank you.
