An example of what is termed "leaking" in the U.S. Many devious politicians, journalists, purveyors of propaganda, and those who "just want to do the right thing" have fine-tuned this crime into a widely and well-practiced art. The goal of "leaking" is to intimidate, corrupt, defeat, and destroy an enemy (referred to as an "opponent"). "Leaking" is a vicious violation of the 8th Commandment and can be as serious as the 5th (Leviticus 19:16). Perhaps the Pell case will prompt retributive justice.
