五角大楼前最高军事规划师正接受联邦调查，并可能面临军事法庭审判，据称其向《华尔街日报》和《纽约时报》记者泄露信息，三位知情人士透露了这一争议。
The Pentagon's former top military planner is under federal investigation and may face a court-martial for allegedly leaking to reporters from the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, according to three sources familiar with the controversy.
为何重要：前陆军中将布雷特·西尔维亚上周被国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯解职，此前他被指控在该部门打击泄密行动中存在不当行为。
Why it matters: Former Army Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia was fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week after being accused of misconduct as part of the department's war on leaks.
- 根据一份内部五角大楼报告的细节，该报告已与Axios共享，西尔维亚四次测谎均未通过，并在两次总时长超过两小时的视频访谈中承认了相关事件。
• Sylvia failed four polygraphs and admitted to the incidents during two interviews on video that lasted more than a total of two hours, according to details from an internal Pentagon report shared with Axios.
- “总统对泄密者零容忍，因此西尔维亚的解职只是问责过程的第一步，而非最后一步，”其中一位知情人士表示。
• "The president has no tolerance for leakers, so Sylvia's termination is the first step in the accountability process, not the last," one of the sources said.
深度聚焦：知情人士称，从2025年秋季开始，西尔维亚未经授权向《华尔街日报》记者迈克尔·戈登和《纽约时报》记者格雷格·贾菲提供信息。
Zoom in: Starting in the fall of 2025, the sources said, Sylvia gave information without authorization to reporters Michael Gordon of the Wall Street Journal and Greg Jaffe of the New York Times.
- 这两名记者均未被怀疑或指控在报道中有任何违法、不当或不专业行为。
• Neither reporter is suspected or accused of doing anything illegal, improper or unprofessional in their reporting.
- 记者在报道涉及内部人士未获授权公开发言的机构议题时，常依赖保密消息来源。
• Journalists often rely on confidential sources in reporting on issues that involve institutions where insiders aren't authorized to speak publicly.
报告指出西尔维亚承认2025年和2026年与戈登有更广泛的接触，据称这位将军在这期间向该记者共享了关于乌克兰和伊朗的机密信息。司法部正在调查此事。
The report states Sylvia admitted to more extensive contacts with Gordon in 2025 and 2026, when the general allegedly shared classified information about Ukraine and Iran with the reporter. The Justice Department is investigating that.
- 调查报告中仅出现了一次与贾菲的谈话，内容涉及赫格塞斯不明原因地清洗军方高层。知情人士称，西尔维亚未经授权的通信可能违反了《统一军事司法典》中“军官行为不检”的禁令。
• Only one discussion with Jaffe appears in the investigative report, concerning Hegseth's unexplained purging of military leaders. Sources said the unauthorized communication by Sylvia potentially violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice's prohibition of "conduct unbecoming of an officer."
幕后：据消息人士透露，西尔维亚据称承认，他在2025年秋季首次向戈登披露信息，当时两人在五角大楼会面，讨论了关于乌克兰的未具体说明的信息。
Behind the scenes: Sylvia allegedly admitted to first disclosing information to Gordon in the fall of 2025 when the two met in the Pentagon and discussed unspecified information about Ukraine, the sources said.
- 报道称，在《华尔街日报》等媒体被禁止进入五角大楼后，西尔维亚在位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的Silver Diner餐厅与戈登会面，提供关于该记者计划撰写的一本书的信息。
• After the Wall Street Journal and other outlets were barred from the Pentagon, Sylvia met Gordon at the Silver Diner in Arlington, Va., to give information about a book the reporter was planning to write, the report said.
- 报道称：“西尔维亚少将依据他在审阅一份机密秘密报告时所做的笔记，口头向戈登通报了对乌克兰的援助情况。”报道强调，西尔维亚并未获得讨论该敏感信息的许可。
• "Major General Sylvia relied on notes he took while reviewing a classified secret report to orally brief Gordon on assistance to Ukraine," said the report, which emphasized that Sylvia didn't receive clearance to discuss the sensitive information.
- 根据一份知情文件人士的说法，对西尔维亚行为的另一份单独法律分析指控，这位将军还讨论了“弹药储备和与伊朗的高层跨机构讨论”，这些信息属于机密。
• A separate legal analysis of Sylvia's conduct alleged that the general also discussed "munitions stockpiles and high-level interagency discussions with Iran" that were classified, according to a source briefed on the document. Then, "sometime in June or July,"
随后，“在6月或7月的某个时候”，报道称，戈登通过加密应用Signal向西尔维亚发送了一条信息。
Gordon sent Sylvia a message on the encrypted app Signal, the report said. • "Sylvia is unable to recall exactly what was in that message" the report said.
- 报道称：“西尔维亚无法准确回忆那条信息的内容。但他相信这与伊朗有关。他表示没有回复该信息，而是将其删除。”
"But he believed it had something to do with Iran. He stated that he did not respond to the message and instead deleted it."
- 据称，在删除信息时，西尔维亚告诉军方调查人员，“他相信自己删除了与迈克尔·戈登的整个信息线程。这抹除了本会记录在西尔维亚个人手机Signal上的Signal信息和Signal通话记录。”
• While deleting the message, Sylvia allegedly told military investigators that "he believed he deleted the entire message thread with Michael Gordon. This erased Signal messages and Signal phone calls that would have been recorded in Signal on [Sylvia's] personal phone."
- 报道称，西尔维亚“多次表示他对自己告诉戈登的有关乌克兰援助的内容感到安心”，但未作进一步详述。
• Sylvia "indicated multiple times he was comfortable with what he told Gordon about Ukraine assistance," the report said without elaborating.
疑云：西尔维亚的案件在五角大楼内部引发了一些摩擦，因为联合参谋部在他被解职后立即发表了一份对这位将军的正面声明。
The intrigue: Sylvia's case has led to some friction in the Pentagon after the Joint Staff initially issued a positive statement about the general immediately after he was terminated.
- 在国防部高级官员传达西尔维亚因涉嫌泄密被解职的消息后，联合参谋部收回了其声明。
• The Joint Staff retracted its statement after senior Defense Department officials sent word that Sylvia had been fired for allegedly leaking.
- 一位知情人士表示，联合参谋部本应更清楚事态。
• A source familiar with the investigation said the Joint Staff should have known better.
- “如果联合参谋部长没有在某个时间点被简报过情况，你不可能进行四轮测谎。为什么他没有被标记出来，有什么危险信号出现了？”该知情人士说。
• "You don't get four polygraphs deep without the head of the Joint Staff being briefed at some point. Why wasn't he flagged, what red flags flared up?" the source said.
- “他们最初的声明，给了他一个告别——你知道，‘祝你未来一切顺利’——真相大白后不得不收回那些信息，”该知情人士说。“所以我认为联合参谋部内部存在一定程度的责任，这是他们需要回答的关键部分。”
• "Their first statement, they gave him a farewell — you know, 'We wish you well in your future endeavors' — and had to retract that information after the truth came out," the source said. "So there's a level of culpability within the Joint Staff that I think is a critical part of this they need to answer for." What they're saying:
他们怎么说：联合参谋部拒绝置评，并将问题转交司法部。
The Joint Staff declined to comment and referred questions to the Justice Department.
- 《纽约时报》和《华尔街日报》拒绝置评。
• The New York Times and Wall Street Journal declined to comment.
- 无法联系到西尔维亚置评。
• Sylvia could not be reached for comment.
- 国防部将Axios引向助理国防部长肖恩·帕内尔上周的一份声明，他在声明中说：“机密信息不是个人财产。为个人、政治或职业利益泄露机密信息，是对那些负责保管机密信息的人所受托付信任的背叛。”
• The Defense Department referred Axios to a statement by Assistant Defense Secretary Sean Parnell, who said last week that "classified information is not personal property. Leaking it for personal, political or professional gain is a betrayal of the trust placed in those responsible for keeping it."
