Perhaps you and I just have different defaults. Mine is to not publish classified material.

Karen, if I might just butt in to this conversation. My problem with that formulation is twofold. First, this administration's propensity to just plow through routine checks and balances that other administrations have honored needs to be as well publicized as possible. It's the only way that will be rectified. Without it, it will become common practice for admins to do so, of whatever political stripe. So, that tilts toward publishing.

Second, this admin has pushed the envelope beyond all boundaries with classifying information, unless it wished to leak it on its own. So, the fact of information being classified raises the honest suspicion that admin self interest, namely political, is being served rather than something as abstract and, possibly, pressing as the national interest.
