As long as the media are allowed to 'Pay the Big Bucks' for info, then there will be leaks! And as long as politicans can make someone else look bad by leaking info, there will be leaks!

This reeks of the GOP posturing when Reagan ran against Carter. Wild claims were made about Jimmy Carter giving away "State Secrets"

The Stealth Fighter
The all wood Mosquito was notable for its low radar profile, during WWII.

The Neutron Bomb
The Low-Yield, Enhanced-Radiation Bomb was declassified during the Eisenhower administration.

These people are just making themselves look foolish.

Oh Yeah, just rememebered.

The Killer Satellite
Sputnik in Space! What next? Killer Satellites! - Cover of Popular Mechanics circa 1957. And, who could forget the 1980s article on what would happen if you launched a bucket of sand into a retrograde orbit. (Retrograde orbit is smart people talk for what a bunch dummies we have elected)

Nah, it's damage control. Simply denouce the leaking of national secrets and you depoliticize the issue. The GOP needs to learn this lesson, but alas, they have already embraced the birthers and other wingnuts.

Classification authority ultimately rests with the Executive Branch, doesn't it?? If so, the President can do what he/she pleases.

That is 100% true. If the President chooses to reveal information, it is no longer classified, end of story; classification is fully under the President's authority.
