So CNN dogged their source and didn't even make a statement? Seems like a serious journalist outfit would be like "ooh shid we fugged up here's what we're changing". The source in this case is lucky to get off with a slap on the wrist, what if it was something so much more important and risky?
Assume that every journalist and news org is complete sh*t at SIGINT and OPSEC. And that you are too. And that you'll all-too-soon outgrow whatever "leak it!" emotions are going through your head right now. And that the journalists and news orgs really don't care what happens after you've outlived your usefulness to them.

Dear Wanna-be Leakers,
Assume that every journalist and news org is complete sh*t at SIGINT and OPSEC. And that you are too. And that you'll all-too-soon outgrow whatever "leak it!" emotions are going through your head right now. And that the journalists and news orgs really don't care what happens after you've outlived your usefulness to them.
