I guess it's late here, but you are saying that the open publication of classified information was itself a classified event even as it happened in plain view? I assume you mean that classified information was leaked without being identified as such. I dealt with a lot of US foreign correspondents at embassies where I worked, and none ever even asked about classified stuff. Maybe people from other sections and agencies had their own back door relationships with reporters, I have no idea. Seems to me the ultimate fault rests with the agency employing someone in a very sensitive position who would leak information that could pose an immediate threat. No one else in embassies has a clue about that stuff.
