Why do they keep referring to these as LEAKS? The purposeful distribution of our classified information was not leaked, it was planned. There must be a better word to start using and get the media to use that better describes what has been done on purpose by this administration. A word that will actually fit the act. We know it is treason, but that does not describe what they did, it judges what they did. And it is treasonous. So what can we call these carefully distributed bits of information?

I agree. To call it a "leak" makes it sound like some unintentional slip up. What it really is is INTENTIONAL exposure of top secret information that jeopardizes national security. It isn't a leak, it's turning the faucet on full bore - on purpose! Treasonous!

How about criminally disclosed?

Of course, there must be some kind of tie-in from leaks to treason, as we all know that “loose lips sink ships”.

I heard someone compare this latest scandal to Nixon’s Watergate. This is much worse. The Watergate break-in was nothing but inter-party political espionage, not international security. Nixons, enemy list was about political enemies. Obama has a terrorist hit list.

...and most of all, Nixon’s worst crime was trying to cover it up. Obama’s crime seems to be taking part in the plan and the attempted cover-up.

Why did they put the operator(s) of Wikileaks in jail?

Had they not, they could have just blamed it on those guys.
