Was it Rumsfeld who said "it was no big deal"? If so, I can see your point. However, if it wasn't, it is to be expected that different people can have different opinions... ESPECIALLY in the halls of Congress! =^)
I'm glad that leaking classified information will officially be considered 'a bad thing' once again.
