In recent years we've seen the rise of leaks (some very serious indeed) and I think we're heading down a very slippery slope in which people may act for what they believe are the right reasons without appreciating the unintended consequences of their actions. Whatever the reason for leaking information, it's so much easier for it to be disseminated nowadays and therefore for the genie to get out of the bottle. What might have started out as a means by which to embarrass a president, for example, could just set off who whole chain of very unfortunate events which costs us all dear.
