  I think this is how secrets are kept. If they even let a single whistleblower go, then all the secrets of the state are “up for grabs”. Courage is contagious, so to speak, so they have to punish it harshly whenever it is seen.

    There Prosecution pretty much even said that:

    In his summary video, made yesterday, he pointed out that the prosecution apparently had no problem with security issues over what he leaked but that it would ruin our international reputation to have had the leak.

    ie McBride cannot be excused because other countries couldn’t trust us with their own secrets if we have leakers like McBride potentially leaking those secrets.
