This just screams to me that the US military doesn't have very good security measures when it comes to containing their information.
[color="#cc8899"]The same argument could be made for ANYONE having access to such information. Motivation to leak information comes from many sources, including blackmail, profit, ideology, revenge, etc - a 4 star general is just as susceptible to these as a PFC. I guarantee you the Canadian military has low-ranking personnel that handle highly classified information too. Or are you going to argue that the Ft Hood shootings are a clear sign that Majors shouldn't be allowed access to guns?
