Is it Treason for Media to Disclose Locations of Secret Prisons?

The Associated Press and the mainstream media are rushing to inform the general public, terrorists included of course, that the CIA may maintain secret prisons in a "third EU country."  Previously, the media identified Poland and Romania as sites of possible "secret detention centers" run by the United States.

There is a very good reason for having secret prisons for terrorists, suspected terrorists, and enemy combatants in a time of war:  We know from painful experience that terrorists will stop at nothing, including suicide-homicide attacks, to achieve their contemptible ends.  If that can include launching attacks on the prisons themselves, it will.  If it can include murdering innocent civilian men, women and children in whichever country provides the location for the prisons, it will.

Is it treason to disclose the location of secret prisons where terrorists are being held during the war on terror?  It clearly is a direct and serious attack on the national security of the United States.  It undermines the relationships of the United States with its allies.  It puts innocent lives at risk in the United States and elsewhere.  If there is not an existing treason statute against this kind of disclosure, there should be.

The current news report is vague enough in referring to a "third EU country" that it perhaps has not already crossed the line of directly undermining America's national security in a significant way.  But the report is certainly harmful and therefore immoral.  It adds nothing to the nation's security.  It is a merely an attempt at another gratuitious poke in the eye of the current administration in Washington, and at the risk of giving terrorists a head start on locating another prison so that they can launch yet another murderous attack, or many such attacks. 

The treason laws are on the books for a reason.  And just in case they don't already cover this kind of activity, that is easily remedied.  If necessary, Congess should enact legislation to make sure that America's national security cannot be compromised this way again.
