Better yet, if I recall correctly, inflicting this malaise upon malignant actors that engage in this kind of bad faith behaviour was one of the stated side effect objectives of wikileaks, by forcing their targets to close ranks and become less and less open and in touch with the real world they cripple their ability to interact and interface with that real world, and trust counterparties in conspiring and analysis of the data that they have access to in putting their plans and foreign policies into action. Not to put too fine a point on it, but eventually, hopefully to the point that one day they just disappear into irrelevancy.
