In general, folks who divulge classified material should go to jail.
But a document like that shouldn't be classified in the first place. There's way, way too much classification of policy/political docs because some dimwit thinks it will be embarrassing. I wish that Congress would take a new look at the process of classifying material. They did under Bush I and resulted in the release of an awful lot of policy info and all manner of spook files and imagery under Clinton. Then Clinton tightened it up a bit toward the end of Clinton II and Bush II continues at that level.
IMO an awful lot of it is CYA by upper echelons who think they're smarter than voters. Things that should be held in secret are material, methods, and manpower of spying and military capability. Policy stuff should be out there for all of us to review and squabble over.
