Spot on. I think the most interesting thing in the article was (paraphrasing): You can write up a report on a conversation you have with a Pakistan official, and it becomes classified. Are you then expected to no longer discuss the same topic on your next meeting, because the report you wrote has a classification on it?

To me this whole SNAFU boils down to the two FBI agents assigned to the case not doing due diligence in their investigation.
