But yeah, an "Aiding the enemy" conviction would've had serious ripple effect. Now the most sane yet realistic course of action would be the lightest sentence possible under the convictions (which still will be substantial). In a truly just world the dude would be pardoned after his 3 years imprisonment, but politically that ain't gonna happen.

my understanding was he tried to show the info to superiors, and barring that, national newspapers.
if someone is guilty of espionage, it's the military organization itself for not having some form of checks and balances system.
considering their second in command just did some leaks himself, id have to agree with myself
