Why isn't Novak subject to this penalty?

More importantly, why is Ashcroft not at least trying to prosecute him? The DOJ under Ashcroft has been seeking to push the envelope of prosecutable offense using the terror prtext for some time. Seems Novak is an excellent test case for the law you cite above. At a minimum, a diligent prosecutor would charge Novak to squeeze him into providing info.
