Uh. This is interesting. From the Miami Herald, we learn that Britain is going to prosecute some people for revealing something that they're still denying ever happened:

Can two men be jailed for revealing a state secret that officially does not exist?

Britain's Crown Prosecution Service seems to say so.

On Tuesday, it is launching a trial against a civil servant and a former parliamentary aide for allegedly passing on notes of a conversation between Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bush that reportedly indicate Bush discussed bombing Al Jazeera television in Qatar.

The White House and Downing Street have denied the account and the notes themselves have never been published.
