That's right! Blame the media for a culture of incompetent management of state secrets. Even I was taken aback by the suggestion that the problem is the media and that there is no mention of the spy and the environment in which he was free to do his dirty work.

If you don't want to be embarrassed by your actions later on......................................don't do it.


I do have to wonder why madaline allbright (1/2 bright?) didn't get this much coverage when she "lost" two state dept laptops a few years ago in the PRC?

    I don't blame the media for a culture of incompetence, but most of the media writers here in the US are US citizens and it behooves them to take care that classified information which could endange fellow Americans is not exposed to the world.
     I find no excuse for any American who is mercenary enough to endanger fellow Americans lives, just to claim a journalistic "feather in his/her cap".
