Official Secrets Act prosecution

I read that the New Statesman magazine has a scoop regarding a Foreign Office official, Derek Pasquill, who has been charged with six counts under the Official Secrets Act. Apparently "this case is said to follow the publication in the New Statesman, the Observer and in a pamphlet by the Policy Exchange think tank of a series of articles highlighting damaging and dangerous government policy. These included an expose of British acquiescence in the secret and illegal “rendition” by the United States of terrorist suspects, and various revelations about government policy towards radical Islam."

All interesting stuff, this could be a big story in the days to come if the BBC don't ignore it, that is.
