  Sorry to impose -- the true facts. Check to see if that "leak" was legal -- As Scooter Libby learned, you cannot illegally leak classified information. Of course, this document published to Wikileak was redacted by court order, Chap. It was not legal -- at least one thing that Libby exposed that was correct- our legal protections. In this matter, the legal consequences are basic.

  Google at fault?

  on How Far Should Google Go To Protect User Privacy In Lawsuits?
  A few opinions here about this matter - and I think that the author did a decent job of sorting this out. One, the internet was not designed to be annonymous - it's the same as your phone or computer or mail (all traceable). Second, what integrity should be afforded to someone who does not reveal their name yet makes accusations with innuendo failing to cite sources? I think none. Third, this is a slippery sloop, the internet blogging/gossip, it guarantees the lowest life forms to "report" whatever they want at the expense of whomever they wish. Bring them into the light and let that cleanse the dirt from their hands. I am not even going to comment about the legal remedy guaranteeing an accused to face his accuser. The nerve.
