The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

These leaks contain US military secrets that have no business existing in the public domain. Publicizing them damages US national security and that of its allies. The press should do the responsible thing and refrain from reporting on them.

Establishment-critical narrative

Whenever there's a leak of classified documents, officials always claim there's a national security risk and that it puts soldiers in harm's way. However, the cat's already out of the bag on this occasion, and the Pentagon should be focused on bringing the alleged perpetrator to justice, not on obstructing the press from doing their jobs.
