Just so I am clear are you saying that he didn't leak any classified data for "State of War" or that the government cant prove that he did?
Or are you arguing, we need a head and Sterling is the most likely one so chop that one off?

I think we both know when you are given access to classified materials you give up some of the freedoms your fellow citizens have.
-
That's a straw man. You don't give up the freedom to have non-classified conversations.
-
You dont, but if a reporter you are having non-classified conversations with writes a book with classified information you are screwed.
-
Yes. This establishes standard that providing unclassified tips is sufficient to send you to prison. I find that utterly objectionable.
-
Then you should be offended that those 3 charges were upheld. I might support the other ones (for the book). But not the unwritten NYT story
-
I am not as offended as understand it changes the burden of proof for people with clearance.

Do I think Sterling could have been caught in a "we have to punish someone" situation? Not completely out of the question.
