I hope they have a lot of luck with that, It is the front page of the New York Times and Fox news. The info is compromised and is no longer classified. The horse long past the barn door considering the wikileaks papers made it out to bittorrent sites that are hosted in Foreign countries like the Pirate Bay.

Classified is still classified even if it is ‘leaked’. So anyone with a security clearance that views this stuff without need to know and the proper clearance has broken the law. If caught, they can/will lose their clearance and could be prosecuted.

A cleared person can read about it in the papers, but to go to WikiLeaks or one of their associated sites would be a no-no.

You can be prosecuted for downloading songs, so it isn't much of a stretch to say the same for looking at illegally obtained TS documents.
