London: Legal scholar Carey Shenkman is critical of the 1917 Espionage Act in general, given its overbreadth, how it has been used to punish dissidents in the past, and how it does not allow a “public interest” defense. “There has never been an indictment of a U.S. publisher under the law for publication of secrets,” let alone “an extraterritorial indictment of a non-U.S. publisher,” Shenkman noted.
