I once suppressed information about a troop movement underway in Iraq
after a request. Troop movements are explicitly mentioned in the
Espionage Act.

Such requests, and other requests regarding obviously illegal material,
should go to legal at wikimedia.org or emergency at wikimedia.org at the
Foundation rather than to User:Oversight, by the way. There is a whole
bunch of people on the oversight committee none of whom are known to have
security clearances.
