NYTimes.
If you can't stop the leak, arrest the leaker? While I think that someone who leaks classified information that harms the country should be prosecuted, what about the brave souls who risk their careers (and, possibly, their lives) to blow the whistle on government waste, fraud, and corruption? Just because information is 'classified' doesnt mean it should not be publicized. This is a fine line and a slippery slope towards totalitarianism, and, I, for one, do NOT want the R's deciding the issue for us.
