So far they haven't prosecuted any paper that has carried sensitive
documents obtained by illegal means (And yes, there have been releases
of sensitive documents obtained by illegal means.. Usually emails from
various politicians lately).
The police try to go after the person who "steals" the documents, but
they don't pick and choose which of the various outlets going public
