Random Thoughts

Am I the only one noticing the increasing number of articles in the media quoting an official "who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to the media"?

Doesn't it make you wonder what is going on? Why are so many people tempted to leak out sensitive information knowing that they should not be doing it? If the media can easily get to secret information (and write about it openly), who else is getting to it? What are the government agencies doing about it? Or, are these agencies being too secretive prompting the officals to spill the beans?
