Therefore, when the ABC islands (Aruba/Bonaire/Curacuao) declare war on us, the Joint Chiefs can reach into the file cabinet and pull out our response/attack/defense plan instead of running around asking everyone what they're going to do. I'm sure their are similar plans in there for everyone, even those that are currently our allies, such as England.
Naturally, plans such as this would be classified, one wouldn't want tomorrows enemy to know our war plan for action against them. Anyone who's ever held a security classification from the military has gotten the lecture about what happens to you if you give out secret/classified information, expect to spend a lot of time making small rocks out of big ones.
The main problem here, and not just in the leaking of secure material, is today we have a class of people who believe that they are better than everyone else, and therefore they don't have to obey the laws as the law is just for the peons. Our culture has changed to become one in which anyone with money or political power can freely violate the law as they're above it. Which is why OJ is playing golf right now instead of doing time.
