It's free speech mate. You either support it or you dont. Which is it?
Well then, this guy reserves the right to do whatever the hell he wants with the information, the best the US can do is punish those who leaked it to him severely and stop taking the piss out of the freedom of information act, like hiding civilian deaths, which is just downright wrong. It serves the US right. On the other hand, the information which will disrupt operations and risk the lives of soldiers will just need to be re-evaluated.
First, he is not in the US, so the first amendment does not apply to him.
Second, free speech does have limits, and classified material is included in those limits. No one is questioning whether the guy who released the info to him is guilty of a crime, but free speech would apply just as well to him.
