Interesting that they seek to investigate those who leak the crimes but do nothing to bring to justice the criminals within the government that perpetrate the true crimes.
If memory serves, I believe the term "Declaration of War" was used when referring to a Cyber attack directed at the United States.
Was it not ?
Is it then not safe to assume that the moment the United States used the Stuxnet virus (created as a joint venture between the US and Israel); was by US definition a declaration of war against Iran?
Was it not ?
Unsanctioned and unwarranted declaration of war by the United States against Iran. Or am I missing something? Aside from the hypocrisy of course!

Justice Dept. targets general in leak probe
The revelation, which was first reported by NBC News, means that an administration that has already launched more leaks prosecutions than all of its predecessors combined is now focused on one of its own. Since Obama took office, the Justice Department has prosecuted or charged eight people for alleged violations of the Espionage Act.
Cartwright was a regular participant in meetings of top national security officials at the White House and was thought to have significant influence with Obama before being passed over as a possible candidate to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
A target is a suspect in a criminal case who has not yet been indicted but is expected to be. Federal prosecutors are not required to tell targets that they are under investigation but it is not uncommon for them to do so in cases when an indictment is likely.
The investigation into the Stuxnet leak was launched in June 2012 by Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and gained momentum in recent months amid indications that prosecutors were putting pressure on a range of current and former senior officials suspected of involvement.
The leaks surrounding Stuxnet exposed details about what had been one of the most closely held secrets in the U.S. intelligence community, an ambitious effort by the National Security Agency in collaboration with the Israeli government to devise computer code that could cripple Iran’s alleged effort to pursue a nuclear bomb.
