Journalists are trying to ordsprog

Journalists are trying to make the distinction between leaks that are political and leaks that are whistle-blowing.

Let me say this flatly: Leaks are good. They are the way we hold paranoid and secretive governments accountable. Historically, leaks have virtually never harmed national security in even a minor way, despite plenty of shrill commentary to the contrary. Reporters should be allowed to print them without fear of being tossed in jail.

A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice. Those who leak an unfinished audit to the news media usually have some reason to undermine the process, usually because they are pursuing some personal political agenda. Such leaks committed by public officials are unprofessional and often intended to mislead the public.

It's being taken to a safe anchorage for inspection. There's no apparent damage to the cargo, no leaks or spills. There's an environmental team on standby to make sure we don't have any problems.

You need to start watching, fix leaks, do whatever you can mechanically in your system. If you need to make maintenance repairs, do it now. Get ready for the warm weather, because when the growing season goes, irrigation and water usage will go up.

We have a lot more leaks than in the past.
