This tells us the Obama administration will do almost anything to figure out who is leaking government information

Seems like something they *should* be doing... Seriously, leaking US Gov "secrets" IS against the law. So it only makes sense they are doing what they can to find the leak?

What's next? Slashdotters complain that the US Gov doesn't nothing to locate leaks because they are incompetent? Can't have it both ways...
