Is An Official State Secrets Act Coming?
Rebecca Carr writes in The Atlanta Journal Constitution's "Window on Washington" Blog:

They are launching a behind-the-scenes battle to prevent Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl from winning passage next Thursday in the Senate Judiciary Committee of an amendment that would essentially create an Official Secrets Act.
Kyl is planning to introduce an amendment to the Federal Data Mining Reporting Act (S236) that has nothing to do with data mining and everything to do with expanding the espionage statutes, according to Kevin M. Goldberg, legal counsel to the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
