Former NSA executive charged with leaking information to newspaper reporter: "A former senior executive with the National Security Agency has been indicted on 10 felony charges related to the alleged leaking of classified information to a newspaper reporter in 2006 and 2007, the Justice Department announced Thursday morning.
Thomas A. Drake, 52, headed an office in the NSA's signals intelligence and engineering directorates at Fort Meade between 2001 and 2005, U.S. officials said. The indictment alleges that Drake exchanged hundreds of e-mails with the reporter and served as a source for articles about Bush administration intelligence policies and agency management failures between February 2006 and November 2007, U.S. officials said.
According to the indictment, Drake had access to highly classified documents and information, and he provided some of that information to the reporter."
