New law for leakers?

[Lucifer Box]

Well you tell me why you think the goons who have been deliberately underminging the investigation in to the brazilians shootings are whistle blowers and not malicious leakers?

Come on, Mailman, get with the programme. Just a cursory glance at the thread will tell you that I did not say that, so putting words into others' mouths isn't the way to go.

The whole point is that it doesn't matter whether they are "leakers" or "whistleblowers" as that is a subjective point of view. You cannot legislate against "leakers" without legislating against "whistleblowers" as well and most freedom loving citizens would rather have a few leakers as the acceptable cost of encouraging whistleblowers. There is plenty of legislation already in place to prosecute a malicious leaker and no new laws or approaches are needed.
