well.....you may be ahead of yourself on using the term "leaking". All we know is what he is being accused of and I don't think he was leaking anything.
If anything, he was probably making certain information "disappear." Still illegal, either way, just different crimes.
I think intent and who the leaked info goes to are the big things behind leaking classified info. There was a case a little while ago when congress got in trouble for leaking classified info to the press. That wasn't treason (though some would make it fit their definition) it was more along the lines of partisan politics.
