Seems like they should punish the leaker just as harshly has the engineer.

Why? I don't think it's likely that the engineer's essay of nonsense was part of the company's next world beating invention, which means publishing it isn't part of any NDAs.

Because it led too mass-hysteria and a crap load of negative press from both liberals and conservatives. Why would you want to have someone who would sink the company to get someone that they don't agree with fired as an employee?
