Since I don't know what this "We already knew" argument is supposed to be, so I can hardly be grouped with a "crowd" of that name. Likely, their argument is as dumb as the OP.
Zulch, I like you, and think you're generally right about stuff. But this is a deeply stupid argument you're making, and you're holding on to it for pride and lack of self-reflection. Weigh the costs and benefits of the leak in an honest and straightforward way - as you usually do - rather than in this absurd way.

If I had to guess, I'd say that 10% might read the reports to the other 90%. |

My first thought, the 10% read the report and tell the other 90% what to do. nt |

They're not stupid, and contrary to US propaganda by Bushco, leadership isn't illiterate either |
