Federal government cracks down on media leaks
The federal government is cracking down on leaks of even unclassified information by employees, The Washington Post reports.
Dave Eggen notes that agents have been conducting interviews with employees at the NSA, CIA and other intelligence units to ascertain who leaked information about the CIA's secret prisons and NSA spying program to the media.
Several employees have been forbidden by the Justice Department from sharing even the most innocuous information about the programs with the press.
Reporters at the Sacremento Bee were approached by federal agents regarding stories the newspaper published containing information from sealed court records.
