There will always be leaks if someone feels that the government is doing something immoral and they have access to the information, even if caught.

I find it insane that it is criminal to share some of this information. Secret information that the government has should be very very little, especially in war efforts. Sure the CURRENT strategy being applied in the battlefield should be secret since that will save our soldiers' lives, but after the battle that should all be revealed.

Hiding information makes the american public hated for certain actions, and the american public does not know what the actions were to begin with, so in the end the american public loses.

Damn. Then we haven't leaked enough.
