It wouldnt be CNN that broke any laws it would be the person that gave them the info. If you are not cleared to talk to the press you are forbidden to in the military no matter if you are a civilian or not.

cnn is admitting that they spoke to a current military person without authorization about sensitive material. Bradley Manning was locked in a cage for leaking unauthorized info to the press

So what? The Communist News Network gets a pass?
Either CNN broke the law or is lying, and the 'unauthorized' person really was authorized to say this, and the media is just acting as the government mouthpiece.
