In terms of it being a startlingly large group implicated in wrongdoing, I agree. However, I would argue that this intended harassment of an elected representative by a self-protecting bureaucracy is more heinous than the corrupt waste of money (and accompanied sharing of classified ships' schedules.) Maybe that's because I see the greatest threats to the US being internal rather than external. In both cases they should be punished harshly (and I'm satisfied to say that Navy careers are being ended quickly, with accompanying UCMJ sentencing), but one of these is the janitor who steals office supplies, while the other is the janitor who finds an unlocked computer and looks for incriminating emails for later blackmail.

Also, there was a short HN discussion of Fat Leonard recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11792183
