The Freitag article set off a treasure hunt, recalled Young, because everyone following the disclosures quickly figured out which passphrase they meant. When Leigh published the passphrase there was nothing anyone could do, said Passarelli, adding that he was shocked because Assange had always stressed the importance of keeping passwords secret and other aspects of security — even setting up a special site so that redactions by the organization's media partners would be reflected in WikiLeaks own releases to avoid putting people at risk.
"The indictment focuses on the publication of unredacted material, including the names of informants and other people who might be put at risk," Rottman told,"You can argue that ethically, this is an important distinction, but as a matter of the black letter law, there is nothing in the text of the Espionage Act that turns on the publication of the names of informants.
