While I find it refreshing that other mideast nations view Iranian nuclear development as a sword of damocles held over the region and the world, the disclosure that the Saudis urged agressive action is damaging to all of those who would work to limit the threat.

Surely even our most starry eyed believers in transparency of government must understand that all nations conduct covert surveillance of enemies AND friends, and that many of those involved in covert intelligence could be fatally compromised by such disclosures. To say that such secret information is proof of sneaky behavior is like saying war is proof of violent behavior.

The disclosure of this information should be considered treason, in my opinion.
