Churchill on Leaks

The news has been dominated recently by the leaking of at least 90,000 documents and/or pages of classified information on the war in Afghanistan. Neither the government nor an employer is pleased when secret information is leaked. I’m not sure he had leaks in mind when he made this statement, but the wise and often witty Winston Churchill may have had a splendid solution for minimizing the harmful impact of leaked information.

“The length of this document defends it well against the risk of its being read.”
