So is this the media giving away actual secrets, or the government testing to see if the "leak" would show up in the media? Interesting chess game.

The real test would be, who would leak it faster, the NYT or Patrick Leahy?

One would post it generally to billions. The other would
use nuance and perhaps leak it to only hundreds.

If a government’s testing, it’s the Iranian government. They’ve been griping about this for a couple of days.
