CIA chief: Intel leaks on the rise, cites leaker 'worship'

Associated Press: WASHINGTON (AP) — CIA Director Mike Pompeo says he thinks disclosure of America's secret intelligence is on the rise, fueled partly by the "worship" of leakers like Edward Snowden. "In some ways, I do think it's accelerated," Pompeo told MSNBC in an interview that aired Saturday. "I think there is a phenomenon, the worship of Edward Snowden, and those who steal American secrets for the purpose of self-aggrandizement or money or for whatever their motivation may be, does seem to be on the increase." Pompeo said the United States needs to redouble its efforts to stem leaks of classified information. See original work for more on this and other stories.
