Apparently he hasn't been charged yet...

He hasn't been charged with anything, this is only an investigation. That said, why the HELL is the FBI leaking this to the press? It's a FEDERAL CRIME to reveal ANY investigation in progress to the public! See despite how much Bush has trashed our liberties, most of us are STLL INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY! This is why even Grand Juries are held in secret-to protect the privacy of the innocent. Since he has not been served with anything, this means he has NOT been indicted-so EVERYTHING involved with this case is required by FEDERAL LAW to remain secret from the public. For example, let's say that the Grand Jury decided not to issue an indictment (which happens about half the time). Publicizing the investigation would trash an innocent person in the press. In simpler terms, they would be getting judged in the court of public opinion instead of a court of law.

The FBI agents who leaked this to Wired should be proscecuted themselves! THEY are the ones who have committed a crime here. If I were him, I'd have my lawyer file with the court to get this tossed into the dumpster-as it most certainly would (and should!) be.

Paul Newman did a film about something similar to this called: Absence of Malice.

It is illegal to reveal any details about someone being investigated for a federal crime? Please provide some data supporting this (preferably not a movie).
