    The WikiLeaks case is stunning because of the fact that a mere private in the Army could have access to so much intelligence data and have the authority to download it

    It appears the leak was made possible by the 9/11 Commission, who kept hammering the intelligence community for being secretive about the sensitive information they were gathering. The Commission's report resulted in Congress ordering all intelligence agencies to make their data files more available to every agency in the intelligence community. There are well over a thousand agencies and entities in the American intelligence community. Ultimately the intelligence files are now so open, that a soldier just out of basic training can download highly sensitive information at will. We only became aware of the theft because he gave it to an organization that published it. If he gave it to an intelligence agency in a foriegn government we would have never known about the loss. Nor would have perpetrator been caught if he had not bragged about it over the Internet.
