That's funny... most other articles say that the data wasn't accessed... so no one's personal information was compromised. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2 006/06/29/national/w085423D04.DTL

Gonzales Says Publishing Leaks Is A Crime 889

loqi writes "The NY Times is reporting on a statement from US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales declaring that journalists may be prosecuted by the federal government for publishing classified information. On the 1st amendment ramifications: "'But it can't be the case that that right trumps over the right that Americans would like to see, the ability of the federal government to go after criminal activity,' he said. 'And so those two principles have to be accommodated.'" So our 1st amendment rights don't trump the right of the federal government to violate them?"
