Contributing writer at The Atlantic @AmyZegart declares the real "heroes" of the week were all the amazing journalists who participated in a "dragnet" to identify the leaker, at which time the FBI "moved into action" and nabbed him. A true landmark feat of journalistic heroism

Notice she praises these "open-source investigators" (journalists) for being able to "move faster than governments." Which would have to imply that the journalists and the government are performing the same task -- the journalists are just able to accomplish it more efficiently

Hence her recommendation that US intel agencies find new ways to "work with leaders in this space." Very confident her wish is already well on its way to being granted

Amy's bio says she "specializes in US intelligence, emerging technologies and national security, grand strategy, and global political risk management." She also served on Bill Clinton's National Security Council staff and was adviser to the Bush 2000 presidential campaign
