Do you believe he will ever know with certainty who they are? Can you ever recall a situation where people were canned for leaking?

I can't.

I agree he is angry but the best he can do is send stern memos. He can't be everywhere at once.

That's the problem -- he can't be everywhere at once. When I worked at AFLC they gave someone an option of resigning or being fired that leaked to the idiot Dayton Daily News that the Headquarters was moving to Florida! They tracked down the person and they were no longer there a few days later.

Another time they planned to close McClellan AFB, CA, and someone from a closed door only meeting leaked it to then Governor Reagan who promptly went after the Commander. The Commander put out a memo and said it may take awhile but he would track that person down and fire them on the spot. They tracked the person and he was gone! AFLC Council Members were tight lipped after that!

Would imagine there are some aides tracking down who was at the meeting and who could possibly be the leaker. If you have information that came out and put it against just who was in the meeting you should be able to narrow it down. Sometime down the road that person or persons will wish they never compromised our military.

Do you believe he will ever know with certainty who they are?

Oh, there are ways to find leakers. It just depends on two things: do you have the time and initiative to set the canary traps, and do you have the will to act on the results?
