.gov is about to start cracking down on those "on the inside" who leak national secrets to the media. Claims of oppression, homophobia, racism, sexism, and animal cruelty will soon follow...book it.

Nah. It's the executive's job to crack down on leakers, and it's the press' job to find them. Balance of powers and all that.

It'll probably stop after some State Dept. employee or CIA employee is sent to prison.

As it should be. There should be consequences for leaking, and the leaker should have to weigh those potential consequences to determine whether it's really that important to leak the information.

I take a leak whenever I can. If I have a discrete place to do so.
Or not so discrete if I really have to go.
