Intel Chair Criticizes Security Leaks

Tuesday July 26, 2005
House Intelligence Chairman Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), in remarks to the Heritage Foundation, said that deliberate leaks of classified information have "probably done more damage to the intelligence community'' than espionage.
It's time there is a comprehensive law that will make it easier for the government to prosecute wrongdoers and increase the penalties, which hopefully will act as a deterrent for people thinking about sharing information.
Congressional Democrats are calling for an investigation of the Valerie Plame leak.
