Espionage and Sexual Promiscuity Go Hand in Hand, Surely?

Come on, have you never seen a Bond film?

"Criminal charges against Captain Yee were dropped last month but he was found guilty of lesser offences.

He was said to have committed adultery and stored porn on his office computer."

- BBC News

... and some choice quotes in the article from GuardianUnlimited:

"They charge him with having classified documents, but they don't know if they're classified or not. Now, I don't want to slam our military too badly in the foreign press, but does this not represent a certain lack of competence?" The army itself did not seem to treat the seized papers as if they posed a threat to national security. In the middle of trial preparations, military prosecutors accidentally delivered some of them to the home of Eugene Fidell, Yee's defence lawyer.

and

A case that had begun with the threat of the death penalty had ended with the lightest ticking-off it was within the court's power to give.
