That's pretty much the case. Leaks of classified information pretty much negate the billions of dollars we keep developing secret capabilities, and the infrastructure to keep them secret.

It's like having a million dollar yacht, where someone on the crew keeps drilling holes in the hull. A $5 drill turns your million dollar investment into junk, and puts everyone on board at risk.

That's the underlying theory with asymmetrical warfare.

A twisted mind with $10,000 destroys a billion dollar asset.

There's only so many hits you can take before you find yourself in serous economic trouble.

Great analogy. I can relate to that ...

Absolutely...and the Trillion Dollar 'Ship of State' we're aboard needs to start dropping appropriate 'depth charges' to end such low-budget Constitutional vandalism...

Appropriate would include the very Constitutional consequences for spying and treason.
