COURT MARTIAL: U.S. v. Clark (U.S. Army Ct. Martial 2005).

Status: Defendant fined and demoted

In July 2005, the U.S. Army demoted and fined Arizona National Guardsman Leonard Clark for publishing "classified" information on a blog (www.leonardclark.com/blog; now inactive) set up by friends that featured recordings of his phone calls from Iraq criticizing the war. The military later began requiring enlisted personnel to register their blogs with superiors.
