It doesn't matter. The CIA owns control of keeping that intel private. They have to monitor who sees it, lest the wrong person leak it.
If the CIA can't stop leaks, then it must be disbanded or purged.
These leaks of classified data from the CIA are now common. Our CIA clearly has lost control of its job.
The leakers are government officials.
"The station chief's cable has been widely disseminated outside the C.I.A., and was initially described by a government official who read the document and who praised it as unusually candid. Other government officials who have read or been briefed on the document later described its contents."
If you read it you will see that one of Goss' aides is mentioned: "The senior C.I.A. official who visited Iraq and then briefed counterparts from other government agencies was Michael Kostiw, a senior adviser to Mr. Goss."
"The cable, sent late last month as the officer ended a yearlong tour, presented a bleak assessment on matters of politics, economics and security, the officials said. They said its basic conclusions had been echoed in briefings presented by a senior C.I.A. official [ieKostiw]who recently visited Iraq.
The CIA stops leaks by leaking something to a government person and seeing if that leak turns up in the papers.
That's one way they stop leaks. They tell someone in the government a secret and watch if it turns up in the papers.
If they only told that one person, then he is a leaker.
So they stop leaks with leaks.
