Quite right. This is the same crap the TSA can get away with on travelers who can't afford to miss a flight on a non refundable plane ticket.
As long as what they're confiscating is worth less than the opportunity cost of missing the flight, people will give up their stuff rather than stay behind.
You seem to forget my point that the news agency is the one that leaked the key, not wikileaks itself. Wikileaks got burned by *someone else's* incompetence.
And I still suspect it was an inside job from a covert spook looking to ruin wikileaks by spoiling the private key.
The last insurance file was spoiled by a news agency that screwed up handling the private key, and so wikileaks mitigated danger by making the leak obvious so that anyone on it could protect themselves.
It's basically an "oh shit, someone spilled blood in the water and the sharks are on their way, sound the alarm so people can get the hell out of the water."
And personally, I think it was an inside job from an intelligence agency that wished to ruin wikileaks by painting it as reckless, probably figuring that even leaking it to the news under seal was damaging enough that there was nothing more to be lost smearing wikileaks.
All this rhetoric about giving what you expect to get leaves out the very important fact that a worker and his boss are NOT equals in the first place.
Your boss is not obliged to give you the same respect he himself is due, simply because he's the boss and you are not.
As a prospective employer, I can and will judge you by how your previous boss thinks of you, because if I hire you, I will take his place, and it's reasonable to assume you will treat me the same way you treated your previous boss.
Remember that I'm the one who has to answer to MY boss for hiring you. Your wages come out of my budget. I am responsible for everything you do, because quite frankly, I have to answer to my boss the same way you answer to me.
Your next boss will not be sympathetic. At best he has his own bottom line to watch, and at worst he'll be chums with your old boss and will take every opportunity to stick it to you if you piss off your old boss.
Just respect the fact that the employer has the upper hand and you need to make nice if you expect to be treated well. Give your old boss his due and give the proper notice even if he doesn't deserve it.
How hard you get screwed doesn't matter, because your old boss still has your potential reference check by the balls.

When your immediate boss can fire and imprison you all the way up the chain of command, intimidation tends to cascade back down fairly quickly.

There would only be evidence if they had gotten caught by someone in the chain from spy to leaker.
Can the cop OR their supervisor OR the police department turn the glasses off on demand?

I suspect that a spook got it leaked on purpose to ruin wikileaks and stop future leaks.

Wikileaks is basically holding their closet skeletons hostage.
"interstate commerce"
And yet it's congress that reserves the right to impeach them.
Do you think they will when the NSA has skeletons to use if their pet rubber stamper is disarmed?
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Free market works well when you take care of BOTH supply AND demand.
Profits for shareholders and investors, probably.
We do need more competition.
That's usually the case.
People milking a system don't like their gravy trains derailed.
There's also class inequality that naturally concentrates wealth.
If they violated the law, lock them up.
Then again, they probably have enough blackmail on the congress critters to keep their program hush hush.
There is no such thing as equity when it comes to giving notice.
You give your boss as much notice as he wants.
Simple advice: Don't get fired.
Yes, it is ok.
Your boss is not your equal and isn't bound by the same standards that you are.
Which is unfortunately why some companies forbid anyone but HR from giving references.
In some cases, giving a peer reference will get you sacked yourself.
Yes I can.

Your sarcasm touches on the magic answer. You and your boss are not equals and are held to different standards.
It's not fair, but it doesn't have to be.
