Well, I suppose if said leak ends up constituting treason and it occurs during wartime... I think that'd have to be a pretty unique set of circumstances, though.

So, which is it?
Well, I'd say that BATFE has made their move by trying to block publication; but the issue isn't over yet, so it IS blocked for now....until he has his day in court. Then it may not be blocked any longer. So, in this case, "IS" and "TRIES" are the same thing. It is only "IS" if it remains blocked.
If the ATF is successful, I hope it'll end up on wikileaks or something.
