What a shame for the ultimate media gadflys and attention seekers.

Excellent. They shouldn't be sued - they should get medals.

The conduct, then, was in the defendants' scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States...

Interesting concept. So long as one is acting within the scope of employment, breaking the law and breaching national security are perfectly okay. I wonder if there are any other circumstances under which this concept might apply...

No law was broken, or national security breached. Keep dreaming.

Read any of the applicable law? Any idea of how much was lost in the demise of Brewster-Jennings?
