That's because people misuse the word all the time. Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act, along with an intent to achieve the agreement's goal. That means two people agreeing to commit a crime together. Not what happened here. Aiding and abetting is to help someone else commit a crime. An aider and abettor is a helper who is present at a crime scene but in a passive role, such as acting as a lookout. That means assisting a person in committing a crime, but in a lesser role. Not what happened here. Solicitation is requesting, encouraging, or inducing another to commit a crime. Bingo. In order to be a conspirator, the reporter would have had to participate in the crime. He did not. He solicited the leaker to commit the crime, which is not illegal in this case. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

This is a more suitable working definition. But for the pendants here (hi, Bill and Kallend and a few of our right wingers), it's anything that makes people afraid. Can't argue against it - there's a dictionary definition to support it, but it's not a very useful definition. Not all definitions are created equal. And in this case it's still very much up in the air. Some are as worthless and diluted as you suggest. Others are better. Definition of Terrorism per the FBI: That is a much more useful definition, and the one I use when using the word. ETA: a better definition might include something about non military targets. There needs to be differentiation between terrorism and nonconventional/guerrilla warfare. The real sticking point is something like a car bomb aimed at soldiers. At some point avoiding collateral damage versus inflicting as much indiscriminate damage as possible has to be considered. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Come on, you can't expect south London trash to use logic or collect all the facts before flying into a violent rage, can you? Honestly the most disturbing thing is how calm he is while talking to the camera. He's covered in blood that isn't even cold yet and he gives a canned soundbyte straight from al Awlaki. This was premeditated murder, based on ideology, meant to force political capitulation. Even worse is his accent. It's straight London ghetto trash. He was probably born in the UK, and if not he's entere long enough to sound like it. I'm glad the Metro PD capture his worthless ass alive, and that none of them were injured. Apparently they two murderers attacked London's finest as they arrived. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

IMO you know very little about the laws of this country. Anyone, at any time, can invoke their rights, no matter what they said just a moment ago. JerryBaumchen Actually, no, they can't. This isn't an issue of Miranda rights related to police questioning while a suspect is in custody. This is self incrimination and sworn testimony. It's a very different set of case law. With Miranda and police questioning, you can stop at any time. It's right there in the warnings. Not so with self incrimination. That is an all or nothing situation.

Maybe folks would be more comfortable calling these specific terrible attacks "ideological violence". The thing that gets people seems to be the motivation. They attacked a soldier in a public and gruesome manner with the specific intent of forcing change in London. The video shows one of the attackers explaining his (irrational) rationale for the attack. He talks about UK military influence and action in "our lands". Witnesses say they shouted Allahu Ackbar while murdering the victim. Terrorism is inherently ideological violence. I suppose not all ideological violence is terrorism.

Can you point that out? I may have missed it. Was it in the warrant application, or something you read somewhere else? If the reporter did that, charge him, prosecute him, and incarcerate him. I know that's against the law. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Yes, which appears to have been the case, among other violations. Defend your position. Explain how the reporter conspired with the leaker. Keep in mind that asking someone to commit a crime is not conspiracy. I'll wait. Now, maybe I read it wrong, that's not impossible, but when I read the warrant it appears as if the government insider gave the reporter his log in credentials and the reporter accessed the government site and read the documents that way. That's not what I got out of it. My understanding was that the leaker called the reporter while looking at the TS/SCI material and told the reporter about it, then met the reporter in person outside Foggy Bottom and talked about it. I'm not sure if they allege that the reporter was ever in the leaker's office looking at it together, but I don't think they did allege that. That may rise to aid and abet or other less-than-principle level of criminal involvement. I'd leave that determination to the lawyers. If the reporter logged into the secure systems with the leaker's credentials, then I'd agree with you that he was either a coconspirator violating 793d or some version of CFAA law, and I'd fully expect and support criminal charges. I don't think that's what happened. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

It's interesting that you should choose to examine only a single paragraph of the section to which I referred, instead of the entire section. Other paragraphs, such as c and e, seem more relevant. The application for a search warrant doesn't specify a particular paragraph of the section being violated. Application § 793 It's funny that you completely miss what the FBI was investigating. Did you bother to read the application? The reporter is called a coconspirator and/or aider and abetter of a violation of 793d. You can't just up and try another section of the law when you can't support your position. Read it. The alleged crime is violation of 793d. I also noticed that you completely ignored the resort of my post. Do you have anything to say about conspirator vs aider and abetter vs solicitor? The FBI agent was wrong. Soliciting violation of 793 is not a crime. Conspiracy to violate 793 is a crime because 793g says so. No part of the law makes soliciting violation of 793 a crime. Which brings us back to why the agent felt the need to call the reporter a conspirator. He didn't need to make the reporter party to the crime in order to seize email records. If he wasn't sending a message, then what the hell was he doing? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I happen to agree with you, but we have to deal with the law as it is, not as we wish it to be. If you want it changed, work to get it changed.

First, lets put 793d on record, so everyone can see it Next, let's clear up the difference between conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and soliciting. Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act, along with an intent to achieve the agreement's goal. That means two people agreeing to commit a crime together. Not what happened here. Aiding and abetting is to help someone else commit a crime. An aider and abettor is a helper who is present at a crime scene but in a passive role, such as acting as a lookout. That means assisting a person in committing a crime, but in a lesser role. No what happened here. Solicitation is requesting, encouraging, or inducing another to commit a crime. Bingo. The reporter solicited illegal action. He did not conspire, and in no way did he aid or abet. For completeness, I'll also point out that the reporter was not an accessory after the fact. If anyone can dispel me of this understanding using legal definitions (not your uncommon "common sense") then I'll happily change my tune. Until then, this is worse than declaring unindicted co-conspirators, which if you'll check the US ADA's guidebook, is both bad policy and frowned upon by the courts. Does anyone see the word solicitation in 793? I sure don't. Quade, jcd, et al, are you ready to admit you're wrong? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

You don't need to be the suspect in order to be the target of a search warrant. Lets say I'm a fed. I have PC to believe that Bill is planning to blow up a building. I have PC to believe he hid the explosives in your house. I think you don't even know about it. So even if you're completely innocent of any wrongdoing and not involved at all, I can present PC to a magistrate and get a warrant to search every millimeter of your house. Same principle applies here. Getting a warrant for email is just as easy. Relate it to the investigation of the leaker. You know, the guy who actually broke the law. You don't have to intimidate every reporter in town just to gather evidence. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

This administration has never been soft on leaks, unless it was an approved leak. They've gone after more alleged leakers than all previous administrations put together! But when it looks good for POTUS, he's more than willing to turn a blind eye, or even participate himself.

This is a question of how much will we let the Feds get away with. Not being charged is not an indicator that all is well. If police out trackers on your cars, cameras to watch your house, surveillance details on your family, and searched your home and work, and talked to everyone you know asking about you, but you were never charged, would that be cool just because you were never indicted? Especially when you haven't committed a crime and the best they can do is threaten you with conspirator charges that will never pass judicial review? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I also appreciate a free press, but I also appreciate the necessity and importance of keeping top secret intelligence briefings out of the hands of unauthorized persons until the information in them is no longer relevant and can be declassified. That's why they do background checks for access to classified info and materials. That's why it's a crime to leak the info. That's why NDAs are so serious. You block the flow, you don't have to worry about where the flow might go. Nice strawman. Has anyone suggested that? I don't like the idea of criminalizing the press sharing information. It's their job. I like things as they stand. Sharing classified information is a crime if you are sworn to protect it. It's not for anyone else. If you hack in and copy it, you're guilty of the hack, but not do sharing it. If you break in and steal it, that's burglary. If someone hands or to you, you're not. That's the way it should be. I see no need to make it any more insane about classified material. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Still evading an arrest warrant in Europe somewhere related to sexual assault, as far as I know. Not facing any charges in American court.
