detail to the State Department’s arms control compliance bureau, was charged with disclosing na- tional defense information in June 2009 to a national news or- ganization, believed to be Fox News, and lying to the FBI. Kim pleaded not guilty beforeU.S.Dis- trict JudgeColleenKollar-Kotelly. Although unnamed by the gov- ernment, Fox News reporter James Rosen wrote a report post- ed June 11, 2009, saying that U.S. intelligence officials had warned
that North Korea planned to re- spond to a new round of U.N. sanctions with another nuclear test. Rosen reported that the CIA warning was developed through sources insideNorthKorea. According to the indictment,
Kim disclosed “Top Secret-Sensi- tive Compartmented Informa- tion” that concerned the military capabilities of a foreign nation and intelligence “sources and/or methods,”which“couldbeusedto the injury of theUnited States.”
“Today’s indictment should
serve as awarning to anyonewho is entrustedwithsensitivenation- al security information,” U.S. As- sistant Attorney General David S. Kris said. Kim’s lawyers, Abbe D. Lowell
and RuthWedgwood, faulted the government with criminalizing exchanges“thathappenhundreds of times a day inWashington.” “Initsobsessiontoclampdown
