“Obama names Hagel co-chairman of intelligence board”

By CORY MATTESON / Lincoln Journal Star | Posted: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 7:45 pm

SNIPPET: “On Wednesday, President Barack Obama introduced former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel and former Oklahoma Sen. David Boren as co-chairmen of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.

The goal of the board, Hagel said Wednesday, is to provide “thoughtful, informed and independent advice” to the president regarding America’s intelligence-gathering agencies and how they can best work effectively to collect and share information to make critical decisions.”

I'm no lawyer but instead of barring all leaking the changes seem to imply some restrictions on leaking of intelligence info may not be "appropriate" and perhaps can even be disregarded. A loophole.
