David Keogh and Leo O'Conner pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges of
making damaging disclosures contrary to the U.K. Official Secrets Act. As
reported by The Associated Press for Fox News, the leaked memo is alleged
to include "references to U.S. President George W. Bush talking of
bombing Arab broadcaster Al Jazeera." White House spokesman Scott
McClellan has described these claims as "outlandish and
inconceivable." Response to a request for the memo to be published
under the U.K. Freedom of Information Act has been delayed.

The main trial is expected to start on Oct. 9 and last up to three weeks.
There will also be a hearing in July. The prosecution will request that the
trial be heard in secret but the defense will argue against this.
