If you want to keep information private, fine, make it a criminal offense for your people to disclose that information to news sources. Case closed.
It already is, that's why Bradley Manning is in detention, the only problem is that it's selectively enforced largely because it's not easy to figure out the source of each leak.

- _djo_ 14y agoThere is, United States v. Manning, Bradley E., PFC, presided over by Colonel Denise Lind. Even in civilian courts trials tend to move slowly, especially when there are many different defence motions filed. The court-martial was due to start on the 21st of this month, but has been delayed as a result of a motion filed by Manning's defence to dismiss all charges. The hearing for this motion will be on 29 October and the court-martial will now only start after that's resolved, expected to be early next year.
