Move to Criminalize All Leaks of Classified Data Hits a Snag: “A Senate hearing scheduled for

today on a proposal to make all leaks of classified information

crimes was canceled after the White House told the bill’s Republican

sponsor that it was not prepared to support the legislation.

A senior White House official said that while the administration opposed

leaks, a new law was not needed to safeguard national security.” New York Times [George B— as a card-carrying ACLU member??]
