Classifying = covering up corruption, incompetence and downright criminality. The leakers are the whistle-blowers. If they leak information that reveals criminal behavior, they should be projected. Otherwise, there's no means of bringing down a criminal govt..

Then why has it taken years to hunt down the leakers in the Bush administration?

Yes, anybody who exposes the corrupt empire is an enemy of the Fatherlan... er I mean, homeland, and therefore must be punished as a "traitor". You would have been very comfortable living in Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Soviet Union.

"Officials say the FBI makes extensive use of a new provision of the Patriot Act which allows agents to seek information with what are called National Security Letters (NSL)." You said the FBI has been doing this for years. I don't think you know what you're talking about. Orca

Bush-Cheney leak all the time. Whenever it suits them. The only reason they are afraid of other leakers is that it exposes their criminal behavior. If they weren't committing crimes, they wouldn't be so worried about it, and the leakers wouldn't be motivated to leak. Outing Valerie Plame btw was a major blow to national security. She was a top clandestine agent on the Iranian nuclear program, and her outing may have compromised the CIA's entire program in Iran.
