The Stratfor documents were accessed through the internet. If anything in there is classified someone at Stratfor should be facing a criminal investigation for storing classified documents on an unclassified system.
That doesn't mean it isn't also a crime to access the classified files (in certain circumstances, as above).

That's the great thing about the US government now - everything's a crime, oh boy!
