the gang that couldn’t talk straight does it again

Found at Starbucks: The Pentagon’s Papers – – Center for American Progress:

Talking points, hand-written notes on spin tactics, and a hand-drawn map to the Secretary’s house were found by a resident of DuPont Circle, who made them available to the Center for American Progress. The name of said resident is being withheld at his request, as he fears that he may be accused on national television of being “disgruntled.”

To quote from the Secretary of Defense: “This thing will go away soon and what will keep it alive will be one of us going over the line.”

Do you suppose leaving these papers lying around in public constitutes “going over the line?”
