national security... must plug the leak

In this instance, it's not a national security issue - Stratfor is a private organization.

Now if Stratfor is gaining access to the government's classified information, then it raises a completely different issue - namely that they are illegally gaining access to classified information.

When this happened, somebody here raised the issue of whether Stratfor was paying folks in the military or government for classified information. If these emails prove that government employees or military personnel are illegally providing Stratfor with classified information, I predict some careers ending and people doing jailtime over this.

And yes, there are people who are dumb enough or bold enough to be using their real names and even their .gov or .mil email addresses.

I heard an interview on John Batchelor with the author of a book on the “super-hackers” who had broken into just about every government and financial computer system. The author said that the hackers didn’t go into Russian systems because the Russians had made it very clear that such an attack would result in death, no matter who or where.
