Leaking classified information to the public: |
|
It really depends on the leak. If it's something that legitimately related to national security, then it's obviously a dangerous precedent and/or political campaigning. If the media is leaking something that the public ought to know, then it's perfectly right and appropriate.

It's despicable at best, it used to be that the media was the real enemy of the politicians.

Leaking informaiton to thee media is one of the oldest political ploys used by all sides in Washington. Yet another reason why the average American is totally fed up with national politics

Sometimes the possibility of a leak keeps them honest, sometimes it's abusive.

Well, back in 2009 Dick Cheney said an executive order gives him, and President Bush, power to declassify information.

Not sure on this one. It depends on what is being leaked.

Depending on what is leaked it could be any of the three. Can serve the public interest well too.

Washington is the leakiest place on Earth; no precedent here.
