	Reno: Anti-leak bill won't sharply increase prosecutions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Reno told her weekly news conference, as she had told Congress earlier, that "such an act would not result in a dramatically increased number of leak prosecutions," because the lack of prosecutions did not stem from the gap in existing law but rather from the difficulty in determining who leaked the information.
		The only leak prosecution in recent memory occurred in 1985 when a Navy researcher was prosecuted for leaking a satellite photo of a Soviet Navy ship under construction to the publication, Jane's Fighting Ships.
		She said the bill was initiated by Congress and then narrowed at Justice Department request.

		The government already has the power to prosecute officials who knowingly leak information that harms national security, just as it can punish people in trusted positions who leak secret codes or military information or, as was alleged in the Valerie Plame case, the names of people acting undercover.
		Prosecutors could go after anyone who leaks anything from the growing mound of classified information without having to prove that the nation was harmed.
		As usual, its proponents are throwing out dire warnings about leaks that are compromising the nation at a time of war, as well as a good measure of assurances that the bill won't punish reporters or news outlets who publish leaked information — only the official people who do the leaking.
