o call Collateral Murder, or The Afghan War Diary, a leak is an immediate invective of language. The government, the mass media, they call these things leaks, as though they are the slow, steady trickle of information tumbling without direction onto the American landscape.

It has to be spirited away from enemy lines, gripped hard and hurled in the air, let to burn over the heads of the misinformed.

But it gives us vision. To call Collateral Murder, or The Afghan War Diary, a leak is an immediate invective of language.
