They are charged under a stringent Prisons Act that makes it a crime to publish false information on prisons without taking "reasonable" steps to verify it. The onus of proof is on the accused.

Instead, the charges against Gandar and Pogrund are based on legalistic quibbles.

...have been advised of a flurry of meetings in the White House and elsewhere on Viet Nam. I am told that top officials in the Administration have been driving very hard for an agreement on a bombing halt, accompanied possibly by a ceasefire, in the immediate future." Then the thrust: "I am also told that this spurt of activity is a cynical, last-minute attempt by President Johnson to salvage the candidacy of Mr. Humphrey. This I do not believe." Making the accusation in one breath and disavowing it in the next, he made certain that the charge would...
