Next, one must identify whether Ms. Bale “prejudice[d] the effective conduct of an SIO”. As her story unintentionally exposed an SIO, it almost certainly resulted in the operation’s interruption, as any potential leads from the embassy were compromised due to media attention. As such, Ms. Bale’s actions prejudiced the SIO. However, in considering the legislative intent and context of the Act, “recent, high profile international events” motivated the government to institute greater penalties for intentionally disclosing classified information, especially those related to national security.

    ...ary 1997, Earl Edwin Pitts plead guilty on two counts of espionage. On 23 June, Earl Edwin Pitts was sentenced to 27 years in prison by a Federal judge who stated that the former agent was guilty of “the most egregious abuse of trust.” When asked why he spied, Pitts cited a number of grievances he had against the Federal Bureau of Investigations and stated that he “wanted to pay them back.” (12) This could have been prevented if the Federal Bureau of Investigations had a program similar to the Army’s TARP (Threat Awareness Reporting Program) to train fellow employees what to look for and how to report on espionage indicators. Another preventive measure would be to work with employees on job preferences to duty locations, If Earl Edwin Pitts would not have been transferred he would not have thought to get payback and the nations secrets would still be secure today.

It is easy for political leaders to become power crazed, to not realize the massive implications that come of their actions. Only after all is said and done do the people actually realize their government is an opaque mask of deception. The Watergate Scandal substantially impacted Americans’ trust in their government.
