Not quite. Confidential is a technical term in the military/IC world. It's a classification, just like secret or top secret. I read somewhere that a lot of the Wikileaks cables were supposedly stuff marked confidential. Storing confidential material in an AOL account would be a crime, just like giving the same material to Wikileaks. Brennan's PII, job history, etc. is certainly valuable information, but clearance application paperwork itself is unclassified.
