Somethings are and need to be classified. News reports discussing leaks of alleged classified information is not classified or else your just confirming it.

When those news reports link to copies of documents that are marked SECRET or higher, they are blocked by IP, DNS registration and host names of the providing webserver by various Internet filtering devices, if that takes out a primary news source that is just how the bouncy ball bounces. Don't post the actual doc then the "news service" doesn't meet the criteria and is left alone.
Ever wonder why most of the big media outlets don't post the actual classified documents???
One thing I have learned in the almost 30 of govt service...classified is classified...I don't get to de-classify it because I think it ok and I don't get to share it with those that don't have need to know access. We can discuss the merits of what should or should not be FOUO, SECRET, or TOP SECRET but once a classification is declared...I follow the regulations, especially those that involve my clearance and my NDA's! (I now have a clearance much higher than when I was on a team.)
Bottom line...I don't get to pick which rules I want to apply and the ones I want to subvert.
Oh and for the record, IMNSHO, Snowden is major asshat-fucktard-traitor that needs a couple of .308 rounds to the thoracic cavity!
