District Ct. Op., United States v. Rosen et al., No. 1:05-cr-225 (E.D. Va. Nov. 1, 2007)

District court's opinion outlining the legal principles governing the disposition of the Government's CIPA motion, including restating that in cases of oral disclosure of information, Sections 793(d) and (e) of the Espionage Act require that the defendants be aware that the information was closely held by the government and damaging to national security if revealed; the recipient was not entitled to receive the information; and that the information could be used to the injury of the United States or advantage of a foreign nation. The district court issued a separate classified and sealed order setting forth the district court's application of those principles and holdings with respect to the Government's CIPA motion.
