How would you handle the leak of a CIA operatives' name?
Suppose somebody told you the the name of a covert CIA agent or some other information that was classified. What would you do in that situation?

2. Before I turned them I'd ask - why are you telling me this?

3. They'd be in prison before nightfall
Anyone who divulges such information is putting lives at risk and deserves some quiet time for reflection.

4. Depends on who it was.
There are very few people I would risk treason charges for, however. Chances are, though, that I wouldn't believe them in the first place. I don't know many people with that kind of information.

If I knew it was accurate info, and if it wasn't someone I'd risk treason charges for, I'd turn them in.

7. We're at war, right? My pRe$ident says so.
Leaking that sort of information at a time of war is treasonous and can pull the death penalty.

I'd turn them in in a heartbeat.
