#2 Inquiring minds would like to know what constitutes "legal leaking" - urinary incontinence?

#3 Given that it is the intelligence community that is doing the leaking, it's hard to imagine them stopping themselves. Not without a good housecleaning and a few (symbolic) executions. Hey, maybe we could appeal to their patriotism!

#4 Revisit arresting not just the reporters, but the editors who permit classified material to be published. Think they would endure weeks in jail pending trial?

#5 Leaking has done lasting damage to the intel community. Since real intel is derived from sources...who are now rightfully concerned that their info and ID will not be protected...and technical means...which are exposed in every leak...and allow the folks targeted to better protect themselves. Most focus on the short term damage - not sure how we gauge the negative long term effect of intel no longer there.
