Next, one must identify whether Ms. Bale “prejudice[d] the effective conduct of an SIO”. As her story unintentionally exposed an SIO, it almost certainly resulted in the operation’s interruption, as any potential leads from the embassy were compromised due to media attention.

True, prima facie, modest twists and turns of information may not be considered substantial, but this inconsideration leaves much to be uncontrolled. It is easy for political leaders to become power crazed, to not realize the massive implications that come of their actions. Only after all is said and done do the people actually realize their government is an opaque mask of deception. The Watergate Scandal substantially impacted Americans’ trust in their government.
