The Stare Department's record on protecting classified information is far better than DOD or the CIA.

Up till now, anyway. Other than that how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

And of course that doesn't count the State leaks to the NYT, Washington Post, et al by the hundreds during the Bush years.

Up till now? This is the guy who did it: Private First Class Bradley E. Manning

Every government agency leaks stuff to the MSM, some of it orchestrated by the administration in charge. It happens under every administration, not just under Republicans. The proliferation of information technology makes it easier to steal huge amounts of material that can be downloaded electronically and stolen. You can take room loads of material in a single disk or thumb drive. Securty has not kept up with the technology. Manning had unauthorized access to Secret Internet Protocol Routers network computers. He defeated the security measures in place and he had top secret clearances and beyond. Blaming the State Department for Manning's actions is nonsense.
