But these leaks -- about secret prisons in Europe, CIA front companies, and now secret wiretaps, are egregious violations of law

If you believe the leaks are violations of law... what about the acts themselves? Surely you believe the crimes committed are far worse acts than the publicising of those crimes?

Deal with the criminal or evil acts... then worry about whether to punish the whistleblower.
We've all seen before the tactic of looking most affronted at the one who makes the illegality public, and trying to use the witch hunt here take the place of investigation of the actual misdeeds...
