That's exactly how the world should work. People in the military who commit morally questionable acts in our name should have to worry that we will find out about it, and soon enough that that it will do them harm. Congressional oversight is not enough, because Congress is too sympathetic.They can't let this type of leak go unpunished in the US military, otherwise, what happens? Anyone who thinks they have some secret info that the public should know can release it without fear of harm or jail time? That's just not how it works, or should work, in my opinion.
