No you have to control the leakers. First amendment you know.
The problem is, that's a methodology that has been used as long as I've been alive -- and -- it simply has not stopped things from getting printed in the news.
It appears to me -- especially with people here posting that these papers shouldn't be printing this stuff -- that if someone really wants to stop it (not stop it by a methology that has never effectively stopped it in over 50 years that I'm aware of) -- then one is going to have to do it at the "printing level" not the "leaking level".
And yes, there is the First Amendment, and thus, it would require changes of that, to stop important state secrets at the "printing level" ...
All I'm saying here is that "if" people are not happy with the "print media" -- then -- you're going to have to stop this at the "print media level" and that will require changing the law to do it. Otherwise, the print media is going to keep right on printing this stuff...
Not really. Very few have gotten more than a slap on the wrist for leaking to the press. The worst leakers are the highest level folks, in both the Excutive and legislative branches. They all seem to believe that the law doesn't apply to them. It's just for us "little people". (A 360 lb little person, who knew?
give a few of them a good stiff dose of Club Fed, say at Leavenworth Kansas, and then evaluate again.
