Certainly, there must be a state for "leaked" classified documents, for which this rule simply wouldn't apply (these leaked documents could literally appear anywhere on the web in theory).
- rurounijones 13y ago"Classified" remains classified even if leaked to remove ambiguity and possible sloppiness. It is to avoid situations like: "this document says it needs to be handled as if it is classified but I am pretty sure it leaked last week so I will treat it as unclassified which is easier..."
- smackfu 13y agoThe only other state is formally unclassifying them.
