The Legacy and Risks of the Latest Pentagon Leak.

The recent arrest of an Air National Guardsman in Massachusetts for leaking classified information has stirred memories of past legendary leaks, including the Pentagon Papers and the Manning and Snowden cases. The fallout from the current case includes cries of outrage from various U.S. allies who have been the targets of U.S. intelligence gathering. The Dobbs decision leak, which carried the preliminary assent of five of the nine justices, had the effect of overturning the Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized abortion in all 50 states in 1973. It was also argued that the leak would actually lock in place the five-vote majority supporting the draft decision.
