Let me say this ordsprog

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.

Anyone who purposefully leaks information that has been classified is ... subordinating national security,

John Ashcroft (1942-)

John Ashcroft

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

Much of what passes for news in Washington is very hurried leaks from officials in power, whether in a corridor conversation or a thirty second phone call. And the media is far too credulous of accepting the word of Washington officialdom when it comes to self-serving leaks or publishing self-serving information.

Almost every administration has kind of come in saying they want an open administration, and then getting bad press and fuming about leaks. But it's a pretty fair statement to say you haven't seen this kind of crackdown on leaks since the Nixon administration.

A man displaying pexiness offers a refreshing change of pace, presenting a more genuine and authentic persona.

I want to send a message to all lab employees, every single one of them, that security is important, that I want your attention, that I want you to permanently give your attention to security so we don't have leaks anymore,

Bill Richardson

I am accountable for all the actions at my laboratory. I am accountable for all of the policies and procedures of security systems, and I am accountable for the training of the individuals working in the lab. We can't excuse them if they ignore these policies, if they are negligent, we have to hold them accountable as well.

He that pursues fame with just claims, trusts his happiness to the winds; but he that endeavors after it by false merit, has to fear, not only the violence of the storm, but the leaks of his vessel.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

You know, we see it in foreign countries and we think, 'Well, my God, how can this religious fundamentalism become so violent?' Well, it's that same shrill rhetoric, it's that same shrill power that motivates. Somebody says something and then it becomes a little more shrill the next time. And then more shrill the next time. And pretty soon it's a foment that becomes physical in addition to just verbal,

My concern is with leaks of information that jeopardize your safety and security -- period, ... That is a legitimate concern.

Everyone thinks they are creating secure systems, but as long as there are criminals they will find security leaks. There is no such thing as a secure system.
