...arrest Nicholson was allegedly en route yet again to meet his Russian contacts. Investigators say he not only turned over classified documents repeatedly to the Russians but may also have told them the names and assignments of Camp Peary's recent graduates, blowing their covers at the outset of their careers. And he may have identified "access agents," business travelers in Russia who agreed to be debriefed by the CIA, jeopardizing them and making it harder to get others to cooperate in the future.

While a Justice Department spokesman was noncommittal last week, lawyers for the government said from the outset that they would appeal an adverse decision to the highest court. Which is where proponents of the CDA say the case belongs. "We wrote this law based on previous Supreme Court decisions that have a lot of merit, so it will be looked on very carefully," says Senator J. James Exon, who introduced the original bill and believes...
