Throw the lot of them in jail. I could care less if they are partisans or not. To release government documents without an appropriate ATI (access to information) request could quite possibly be considered treason and to a stickler for rules like me, it is most definitely a breach of security.
I hope this investigation comes up with some names. And I hope they make examples out of those that leaked the documents so that any other partisan employees don’t “liberate” documents without a proper ATI.

I totally agree with you. Public servants are working for the government, if they don’t like the fact that the government happens to be Conservative, they have NO right to leak government information. They should be fired. They need to remember that it is taxpayers, of all parties, that pay their salaries, but it is the government that is responsible to ALL Canadians. If you deliberately undermine that government, you should be jailed. The CWB (Canadian Wheat Board) has jailed our western farmers for trying to sell their own wheat, how much worse is leaking a document to a member of the opposition?

I agree too. That article you linked Steve suggests that at least one (and possibly two) of the four leaks occurred under Paul Martin. I don’t care which party is in power, these leaks are WRONG.
