(a) (2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to a communication that is unlawful.
Communication of a state secret is an unlawful act.
The unlawful administration has decreed virtually everything about the Iraq War (particularly anything which might be used to hang their arses out to dry) a state secret.
Does anyone believe for a moment that the arsehole in chief and his handlers won't spin any whistle blowing this way?
And when did they pay any attention to the law anyway?
