Sens. John Ensign (R-Nev.), Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Scott Brown (R-Mass.) introduced a bill Thursday aimed at stopping WikiLeaks by making it illegal to publish the names of military or intelligence community informants.
The so-called SHIELD Act (Securing Human Intelligence and Enforcing Lawful Dissemination) would amend a section of the Espionage Act that already forbids publishing classified information on U.S. cryptographic secrets or overseas communications intelligence — i.e., wiretapping. The bill would extend that prohibition to information on HUMINT, human intelligence, making it a crime to publish information “concerning the identity of a classified source or informant of an element of the intelligence community of the United States,” or “concerning the human intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government” if such publication is prejudicial to U.S. interests.

- Ironically Ensign is the one who got outed for bribing his ex mistress' husband with campaign funds********
- Or maybe not so ironically. Scottie Brown probably wants to prevent the leak of the secret nekkid gay pix from the 80s********
- And Lieberman? Just a douchebag in general, I guess he doesn't really need a motive:)********
- This will defintely put an end to all of this, the threat of jail... What a bunch of zorks. High fives!prophet
- It's not even about 'freedom' they have sold. It is about organized crime, treason and terrorism used to make money.********
