#1 The damage is already done. If a reporter has the data, so do our nation's enemies - sometimes they are one and the same. Disclose the information to the public so we can see what was leaked and to whom it was given.

What really gets me angry though is "Leaking" they call it? How about disclosure of classified information, including sources and methods, to uncleared persons who do not have a need to know? Isn't that a crime? Shouldn't someone in CIA be sent to jail for the original "leak"?

#2 If it was a republican or a conservative journalist, it would be disclosure of classified information.

If it is a democrat or a leftard journalist, it's ONLY a leak.
