In the March 2006 issue of Commentary, Schoenfeld called for the government to prosecute a number of reporters and editors at the New York Times under the espionage statutes after it broke the story of the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance of people within the United States.[1] In June of that year he testified before Congress on the responsibilities of the press in wartime.[2]

Schoenfeld earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University's Department of Government in 1989;[3] his dissertation was titled "Uses of the Past: Bolshevism and the French Revolutionary Tradition."
