Leaking of classified material is a concern.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The supply of leaks is very large. It's helpful for us to have more people in this industry. It's protective to us.
Leaks are not the problem; they are the symptom. They reveal a disconnect between what people want and need to know and what they actually do know. The greater the secrecy, the more likely a leak.
As leakers take great risks in releasing information, assuring them that they are not sacrificing themselves in vain and that their leaks would have public consequences would most likely encourage more people to leak.
You want me to become a leaker? I'm not. I do not leak any news from the Cabinet sessions.
Usually you kind of give the President a pass on leaking confidential stuff.
I haven't leaked anything to anybody. They are wrong!
There should be at least one leak like the Pentagon Papers every year.
That's the thing about leaks: sometimes they aren't misinterpreted or false.
White House leaks of classified information put the lives of U.S. service members, intelligence officers, and civilians at risk. That's why I support a measure passed by the Senate Intelligence Committee to crack down on such leaks.
I would never jeopardize classified information to be brought out to the public. This information is all open source. There is no reason to worry about classification. It is simply an attempt by bureaucrats to cover their rear ends.
