Friday, July 13, 2012: 8:00 pm (Dennis): The Director of ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project will provide an overview of the Espionage Act and the other statutes that the government has employed to prosecute leakers and threaten publishers. Ben will discuss the ACLU's litigation on behalf of WikiLeaks supporters whose Twitter records have been subpoenaed and whose laptops have been seized by government agents, and will place the Obama administration's unprecedented campaign against leakers in legal and historical context.

Hosted by Ben Wizner, Catherine Crump, and John Reinstein
