I should also mention that one of the big secrets of WW II, the US cracking of the Japanese naval code, was printed by the Chicago Tribune. The government would have happily prosecuted Col. McCormick for his damage to the war effort, but concluded that doing so would only draw attention to the fact. As it worked out, the Japanese may have assumed that this was just boasting.

Ah, those primitive days, when one could but talk. Within the last year, the Israeli Defense Forces had to call off an operation when a soldier assigned to it mentioned it on his Facebook page.
