You evidently have never worked with any classified or intelligence information. The specific wording could compromise where we got the information from and possibly lead to the death of agents in the field -- you never know. The American people DO NOT have the right to know classified or intelligence information when we have people's lives at stake. Why do you think there is such a thing as "Need to Know?" Been there, done that and classified and/or intelligence information needs to stay classified and people take the information they have to their graves! You sign an oath not to divulge classified information, and that means anyone coming in contact with it needs to keep their mouths shut! We are not talking Confidential here or For Official Use Only, but highly classified that requires special clearances to even see! People amaze me -- I wouldn't have said it was a clinton cover-up either when it comes to classified/intelligence information. Why don't we just take and open the CIA to tours so people like you can see everything they are working on and let the world know at the same time? Or how about getting on email from the CIA so we know what they are working on! (sarcasm) You see classified/intelligence information -- you zip your lips period -- Loose lips sink ships isn't just a catchy phrase! End of rant!

Then why were the leakers not found and prosecuted?

Just move on?

With all due respect! You are the one with no clue. Please explain how the information that was provided endangered sources and methods and people?

Its people like you who are dangerous. Blindly follow! I have been there done that, try (CCS - Kien Giang Province SVN (1969 - 1971). Now you figure it out. Next time inslut someone else.
