Now I'm scratching my head even more.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/08/world/caustic-light-on-response-to-a-threat-of-terrorism.html?hp doesn't even include the leaking of classified sources among the issues raised. I suppose the leaks are supposed to justify the actions taken, given the amount of criticism that the actions are receiving from allies. But still, you're prosecuting your own citizens under the espionage act for releasing embarrassing information that you describe as damaging, then you leak intelligence information that reveals very specific capabilities to provide weak justifications for executive decisions. And not one of the comments of the article noticed.
