Perhaps
Hint: Break down subject into two categories:
1. PRB (some refs in links on page 1) and agency's civil remedies per Snepp case. Google - lots of open source stuff.
2. Fed Criminal Statutes re: classified data - case of alleged Israeli spies in DC is recent. You will find that area something of a quagmire - where outright espionage is not involved. Same Google idea.
Answer is in links - along with known exceptions. Sources and methods can be deadly to some of our own people or their agents, even if the data is 30-40 years old. X > Y > Z.I imagine that applies to former Agency members as well, but I'm not completely sure.
Not necessarily; agency GC may elect not to go civil - DoJ may decide not to prosecute. What's the criteria ?At the very least all profits Ishmael makes from the book will be seized and he'll potentially be facing jail time as well.
You tell me.What I'm also not sure about Mike, are the penalties the same for writing about classified things in a book as they are for stealing a classified document and distributing it?
