There's been some hubbub over this wikileaks situation. If "loose lips sank ships" back in WWII, in the information age it's a warfighting tactic and I think we have just been attacked. So while the original leaker should be hung, and while I would not be averse to having a cruise missle accidentally land in Mr. Assange's parents' house -- there is only solution to this problem long term.
The signal to noise ratio is a measure used in science and engineering to quantify how much a signal has been corrupted by noise. The United States should hire a large group of people to write or forge millions of fake official government/military documents and submit them to wikileaks and found a dozen other document release websites to swamp the signal with noise.
It would be cheap, would give anyone who needed it plausible deniability, and would allow for the release of strategic misinformation to our enemies.
In fact, maybe they've done it already.....
