In that case it was decided that there should be no repercussion for real harm; in the case of Assange, they are desperately trying to find one while planning a prosecution.

What’s telling, is that a low status employee will be threatened with losing their pension. There may be no real harm other than embarrassment of higher authorities, so there is no recourse in law, but their will be a threat to silence anyway. So much for free press in the land of the free.
