Foreign Policy

Convicted CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling says he's innocent of leaking operation Merlin secrets.

"Sterling, who had gone through established whistleblower channels in his attempt to expose the failings of Merlin by approaching the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2003, insisted that he was not the source for Risen. His defense team suggested instead that someone on the congressional staff could just as easily have leaked the information, an alternative that was not seriously considered by the government attorneys."

That sounds like reasonable doubt to me.
