Can be no clear boundary—but far away from the impulse of authority
"There can be no clear line marking what needs to be kept secret (or never uttered) from what does not, but it should be drawn far from where most authorities put it – at least in a world where authorities are imperfect."

Leakers sin on our behalf so that we may live comfortably
Pursuers of transparency sin on our behalf, so that we may live comfortably while they afflict the authorities at great personal risk and in disregard of (authorities' interpretation of) the law and sometimes even ethics.

Institutions that arent' fully accountable need a countervailing force
Institutions are not fully accountable, it is useful to have an unaccountable countervailing institution to reveal their secrets.

Excerpt / Summary
I recently talked with an establishment stalwart who told me how much more difficult these leaks will make it for the US diplomatic corps to accomplish its putatively worthy goals. But is diplomatic convenience really so important? Perhaps it’s useful for us all to understand how things actually work. In any case, the official reaction is overkill.
