If there is an investigation about how/who/why-the-leak comes about... and if any facts at all about the incident are released... then it might make for an interesting thread.

As it is, it just sounds like what you want to talk about instead of what was leaked. OK with me. You say what you want.

    - Detailed military information has always been secret, in many places and at many times throughout history. Guess why? Duh. - David F Mayer - 12/8/2004 9:55:36 PM
      - David, this thread has nothing to do with secrecy. Criticism is the point at hand, and its place. Nice try to reduce it to a binary emotional issue, though. (n/t) - Davin L. - 12/9/2004 2:33:24 AM
