To be honest, I have no idea--I'm sure you're right. All I'm saying is that the onus should be on the person who releases the information to the media--not on members of the media themselves. Unless Novak is snooping through someone's desk, thumbing through files marked "classified," I can't see how he can be held responsible for knowing what is and isn't secret. Expecting the media to keep secrets is like a fox guarding the henhouse--it isn't, and shouldn't be in their nature.
