National-security leaks must be plugged
2012-06-01
By Dan Coats, Richard Burr and Marco Rubio

The problem stems in part from the media's deep pockets and insatiable desire for real-world information that makes intelligence operations look like those of filmmakers' imaginations and wannabee self-longings. That is understandable, but this hunger is fed by inexcusable contributions otherwise known as "leaks and security violations" in exchange for favour, cex, and payment, from current and former, but mostly current who certainly should be former, U.S. officials.

#3  Hard to plug leaks when the leaker is the ultimate authority by law on what is and what is not classified. Just wait. That leak is likely to become a flood between November and January after Obama loses the election.

#2  Yet the real-world operations, and lives, that inspire such thrillers are highly perishable. They depend on hundreds of hours of painstaking work and the ability to get foreigners to trust our government.

Our country was designed by our founding fathers with the idea that we shouldn't trust the government. Currently, our MSM tends to screw up the process by spreading disinformation.
