Leaks

Every time the media publishes a leak exposing another of our intelligence gathering methods the terrorists are able to adjust their activities to eliminate or at least reduce their risk.

It goes without saying that in WWII under the Roosevelt administration that this kind of thing would have led to treason charges and firing squads. Today, however, we are told that "whistleblowers" are noble and that the highest form of patriotism is to dissent.

Dissent is defined as doing everything in your power to undermine the war effort, the leadership and the morale of the populace and the troops in the field.

That every leak might get American soldiers or civilians killed seems to matter not at all in the bureaucracy's clandestine war to bring down the President.
