Unless it has changed, the definition of Top Secret is defined as "information which would cause exceptionally grave damage to national security if disclosed to the public."
Only very stupid media types could ever confuse "grave damage to national security" with the word "gaffe" which is defined as "a social or diplomatic blunder."
As someone very wise once wrote (or should have), let me define the words and I will rule the world.
And are you suggested that the media is not inundated with these types? Most of these morons don't even understand the difference between terrorism and Christianity.
