No, it's you who is wrong. An Intelligence Report, which is what we're talking about, is classified from the moment that the writer puts pen to paper. All notes and material associated with the report, every picture, every draft, unfinished, incomplete, spelled wrong, or whatever has to be handled according to regulations governing classified information.

Now, here's a question for you: If this whole story had involved the operational details of another country, say perhaps it was 92,000 reports of Russian activities in Chechenya, would you be saying good job to whoever leaked it?

No I wouldn't. Would you feel the lives of some poor village headman and his family are worth having a few more details to things you already knew?
