> That's not true but I don't have time to run through an exhaustive legal explanation of why. In a nutshell: the source is responsible for maintaining security of information, because third parties like journalists don't know the bounds of what is covered by confidentiality. Guess what, your wrong and here's why: all gov't info is bound by confidentiality unless it's on a press release page.
