Kobe Williams (1st Period) - Leaking Top-Secret Info to Media

James Cartwright, a retired four-star general, recently admitted in court to leaking top-secret information to the media. In 2012, it is said that in an interview, he provided two journalists information that can not be disclosed. Later, when he was questioned by the FBI whether or not he was the one to divulge these secrets, he lied and stated he didn't. Now, retired and having signed many documents promising his broken truthfulness, Cartwright sits in court pleading guilty for this incident.

I undersrtand why government officials are not taking this lightly. Even though I do not know how important this information was/is to our government, I can conclude that it wouldn't be as big of a deal that it is without the secrets being important in some way. I can say I'm very curious as to what is going to happen to Gen. Cartwright. Considering not only did he leak this info, he also lied several times that he did not. Also I'm definitely curious about how fast this information spread if it caused any sort of damage.
